5 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
8 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
9 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
10 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
11 [Matt Caswell]
12
13 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
14 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
15 success.
16 [Matt Caswell]
17
18 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
19 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
20 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
21 no-ops and deprecated.
22 [Matt Caswell]
23
24 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
25 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
26 were also closed.
27 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
28
29 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
30 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
31 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
32 [Rich Salz]
33
34 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
35 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
36 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
37 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
38 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
39 and the validity of object reference counter.
40 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
41
42 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
43 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
44 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
45 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
46 [Richard Levitte]
47
48 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
49 [Richard Levitte]
50
51 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
52 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
53 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
54 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
55
56 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
57
58 [Richard Levitte]
59
60 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
61 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
62 [Steve Henson]
63
64 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
65 [Andy Polyakov]
66
67 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
68 [Rich Salz]
69
70 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
71 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
72 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
73 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
74 name and is used as is.
75 [Richard Levitte]
76
77 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
78 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
79 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
80 [Rich Salz]
81
82 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
83 the "no-shared" Configure option.
84 [Matt Caswell]
85
86 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
87 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
88 algorithms.
89 [Matt Caswell]
90
91 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
92 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
93 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
94 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
95 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
96 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
97 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
98 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
99 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
100 [Matt Caswell]
101
102 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
103 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
104 enabled with '--debug' builds.
105 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
106
107 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
108 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
109 these have been added.
110 [Matt Caswell]
111
112 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
113 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
114 functions for managing these have been added.
115 [Richard Levitte]
116
117 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
118 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
119 these have been added.
120 [Matt Caswell]
121
122 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
123 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
124 have been added.
125 [Matt Caswell]
126
127 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
128 [Matt Caswell]
129
130 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
131 [Richard Levitte]
132
133 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
134 it is always safe to #include a header now.
135 [Rich Salz]
136
137 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
138 [Richard Levitte]
139
140 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
141 [Rich Salz]
142
143 *) Add support for HKDF.
144 [Alessandro Ghedini]
145
146 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
147 [Bill Cox]
148
149 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
150 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
151 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
152 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
153 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
154 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
155 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
156 [Matt Caswell]
157
158 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
159 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
160 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
161 [Catriona Lucey]
162
163 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
164 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
165 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
166 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
167 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
168 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
169 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
170
171 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
172 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
173 [Todd Short]
174
175 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
176 [Todd Short]
177
178 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
179 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
180 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
181 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
182 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
183 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
184 default cipherlist.
185 [Emilia Käsper]
186
187 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
188 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
189 [Rich Salz]
190
191 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
192 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
193 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
194 [Matt Caswell]
195
196 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
197 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
198 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
199 implemented by other servers.
200 [Emilia Käsper]
201
202 *) Add X25519 support.
203 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
204 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
205 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
206 key generation and key derivation.
207
208 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
209 X25519(29).
210 [Steve Henson]
211
212 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
213 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
214 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
215 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
216 seed, even if the seed is configured.
217
218 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
219 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
220 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
221 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
222 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
223 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
224 that of a valid user.
225 [Emilia Käsper]
226
227 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
228 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
229 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
230 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
231
232 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
233 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
234
235 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
236 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
237 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
238 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
239
240 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
241 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
242 irrelevant.
243 [Richard Levitte]
244
245 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
246 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
247 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
248 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
249 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
250 of how OpenSSL was configured.
251
252 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
253 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
254 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
255 [Richard Levitte]
256
257 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
258 [Rich Salz]
259
260 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
261 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
262 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
263 removed.
264 [Richard Levitte]
265
266 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
267 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
268 old #define's might need to be updated.
269 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
270
271 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
272 [Rich Salz]
273
274 *) New "unified" build system
275
276 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
277 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
278
279 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
280 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
281 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
282
283 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
284 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
285 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
286 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
287 descrip.mms.tmpl.
288
289 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
290 [Richard Levitte]
291
292 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
293 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
294 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
295 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
296 [Matt Caswell]
297
298 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
299 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
300
301 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
302 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
303 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
304 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
305 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
306 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
307 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
308 have been adapted accordingly.
309 [Richard Levitte]
310
311 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
312 the leading 0-byte.
313 [Emilia Käsper]
314
315 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
316 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
317 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
318 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
319 [Emilia Käsper]
320
321 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
322 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
323 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
324 'unsigned char*'.
325 [Emilia Käsper]
326
327 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
328 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
329 [Emilia Käsper]
330
331 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
332 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
333 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
334 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
335 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
336 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
337 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
338
339 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
340 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
341
342 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
343 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
344 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
345 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
346 Text::Template.
347
348 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
349 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
350 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
351 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
352 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
353 %target).
354 [Richard Levitte]
355
356 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
357 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
358 straightforward and less interdependent.
359
360 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
361 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
362 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
363
364 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
365 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
366 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
367 installed.
368 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
369 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
370 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
371 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
372
373 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
374 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
375 [Richard Levitte]
376
377 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
378 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
379 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
380 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
381 is present).
382 [Matt Caswell]
383
384 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
385 configuring.
386 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
387
388 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
389 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
390 before trying to build now.*
391 [Rich Salz]
392
393 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
394 has changed.
395 [Rich Salz]
396
397 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
398
399 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
400 the application's responsibility. The application provides
401 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
402 used to authenticate the peer.
403
404 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
405 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
406 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
407 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
408 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
409 [Viktor Dukhovni]
410
411 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
412 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
413 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
414 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
415 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
416 or the 1.1.0 releases.
417
418 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
419 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
420 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
421 support for the deprecated features from the library and
422 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
423 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
424 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
425 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
426 version.
427
428 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
429 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
430 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
431 compile with later releases.
432
433 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
434 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
435 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
436 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
437 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
438 [Viktor Dukhovni]
439
440 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
441 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
442 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
443 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
444 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
445 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
446 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
447 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
448 [Kurt Roeckx]
449
450 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
451 [Andy Polyakov]
452
453 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
454 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
455 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
456 ECDSA_SIG format.
457
458 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
459 include the ec.h header file instead.
460 [Steve Henson]
461
462 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
463 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
464 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
465 [Kurt Roeckx]
466
467 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
468 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
469 were added:
470
471 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
472 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
473
474 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
475 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
476 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
477
478 Additional changes:
479 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
480 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
481 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
482 an already created structure.
483 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
484 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
485 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
486 for deprecated builds.
487 [Richard Levitte]
488
489 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
490 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
491 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
492 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
493 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
494 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
495 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
496 [Matt Caswell]
497
498 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
499 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
500 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
501 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
502 [Kurt Roeckx]
503
504 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
505 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
506 [Kurt Roeckx]
507
508 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
509 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
510 [Kurt Roeckx]
511
512 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
513 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
514 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
515 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
516 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
517 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
518 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
519 also been removed.
520 [Matt Caswell]
521
522 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
523 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
524 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
525 [Rich Salz]
526
527 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
528 [Rich Salz]
529
530 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
531 sureware and ubsec.
532 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
533
534 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
535
536 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
537 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
538
539 FOO *x;
540
541 it must be:
542
543 FOO x;
544
545 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
546 set a mandatory field to NULL.
547
548 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
549 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
550 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
551 SEQUENCE OF.
552 [Steve Henson]
553
554 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
555 [Emilia Käsper]
556
557 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
558 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
559 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
560 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
561 [Matt Caswell]
562
563 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
564 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
565 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
566 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
567 [Emilia Käsper]
568
569 *) Fix no-stdio build.
570 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
571 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
572
573 *) New testing framework
574 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
575 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
576 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
577 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
578 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
579 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
580
581 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
582
583 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
584 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
585
586 [Richard Levitte]
587
588 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
589 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
590 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
591 and others were changed. All are now documented.
592 [Rich Salz]
593
594 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
595 return an error
596 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
597
598 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
599 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
600
601 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
602 original RSA_PSK patch.
603 [Steve Henson]
604
605 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
606 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
607 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
608 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
609 [Matt Caswell]
610
611 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
612 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
613 [Richard Levitte]
614
615 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
616 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
617 hasn't been working properly for a while.
618 [Emilia Käsper]
619
620 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
621 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
622 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
623 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
624 transferred.
625 [Matt Caswell]
626
627 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
628 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
629 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
630 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
631 [Matt Caswell]
632
633 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
634 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
635 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
636 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
637 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
638 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
639 [Matt Caswell]
640
641 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
642 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
643 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
644 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
645 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
646 header file has been removed.
647 [Matt Caswell]
648
649 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
650 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
651 [Matt Caswell]
652
653 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
654 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
655 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
656
657 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
658 Added a test.
659 [Rich Salz]
660
661 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
662 [Rich Salz]
663
664 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
665 sha256
666 [Rich Salz]
667
668 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
669 [Matt Caswell]
670
671 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
672 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
673 initial patch which was a great help during development.
674 [Steve Henson]
675
676 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
677 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
678 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
679 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
680 [Matt Caswell]
681
682 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
683 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
684 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
685 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
686 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
687 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
688 [Matt Caswell]
689
690 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
691 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
692 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
693 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
694 [Matt Caswell]
695
696 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
697 compatible client hello.
698 [Kurt Roeckx]
699
700 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
701 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
702 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
703
704 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
705 [Rich Salz]
706
707 *) Removed old DES API.
708 [Rich Salz]
709
710 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
711 Sony NEWS4
712 BEOS and BEOS_R5
713 NeXT
714 SUNOS
715 MPE/iX
716 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
717 DGUX
718 NCR
719 Tandem
720 Cray
721 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
722 [Rich Salz]
723
724 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
725 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
726 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
727 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
728 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
729 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
730 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
731 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
732 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
733 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
734 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
735 [Rich Salz]
736
737 *) Cleaned up dead code
738 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
739 [Rich Salz]
740
741 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
742 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
743 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
744 [Rich Salz]
745
746 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
747 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
748 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
749 [Rich Salz]
750
751 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
752 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
753 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
754
755 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
756 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
757 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
758
759 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
760 compilation flags.
761 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
762
763 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
764 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
765 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
766
767 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
768 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
769
770 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
771 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
772 server.
773
774 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
775 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
776 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
777 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
778
779 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
780 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
781 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
782 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
783
784 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
785 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
786 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
787
788 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
789 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
790 [Steve Henson]
791
792 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
793
794 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
795 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
796
797 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
798 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
799
800 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
801 effect.
802
803 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
804
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
808 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
809 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
810 algorithms and include tests cases.
811 [Steve Henson]
812
813 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
814 enveloped data.
815 [Steve Henson]
816
817 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
818 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
822 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
823
824 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
825 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
826 [Steve Henson]
827
828 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
829 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
830 failures.
831 [Steve Henson]
832
833 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
834 sign or verify all in one operation.
835 [Steve Henson]
836
837 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
838 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
839 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
840 [Steve Henson]
841
842 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
843 [Steve Henson]
844
845 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
846 [Steve Henson]
847
848 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
849 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
850 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
851 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
852 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
853 [Steve Henson]
854
855 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
856 based on NID.
857 [Steve Henson]
858
859 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
860 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
861 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
862 [Steve Henson]
863
864 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
865 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
866 [Steve Henson]
867
868 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
869 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
870
871 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
872 POST to handle HMAC cases.
873 [Steve Henson]
874
875 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
876 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
877 [Steve Henson]
878
879 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
880 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
881 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
882 [Steve Henson]
883
884 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
885 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
886 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
887 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
888 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
889 requested amount of entropy.
890 [Steve Henson]
891
892 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
893 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
894 [Steve Henson]
895
896 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
897 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
898 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
899 support.
900 [Steve Henson]
901
902 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
903 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
904 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
905 [Steve Henson]
906
907 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
908 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
909 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
910 will never use XTS mode.
911 [Steve Henson]
912
913 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
914 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
915 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
916 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
917 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
918 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
919 [Steve Henson]
920
921 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
922 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
923 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
924 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
925 [Steve Henson]
926
927 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
928 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
929 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
933 [Steve Henson]
934
935 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
936 [Steve Henson]
937
938 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
939 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
943 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
944 [Steve Henson]
945
946 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
947 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
948 [Steve Henson]
949
950 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
951 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
952 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
953 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
954 and rename any affected symbols.
955 [Steve Henson]
956
957 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
958 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
959 [Steve Henson]
960
961 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
962 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
963 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
964 [Steve Henson]
965
966 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
967 [Steve Henson]
968
969 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
970 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
971 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
972 [Steve Henson]
973
974 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
975 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
976 [Steve Henson]
977
978 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
979 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
980 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
981 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
982 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
983 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
984 set before the key.
985 [Steve Henson]
986
987 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
988 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
989 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
990 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
991 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
992 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
993 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
994 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
995 [Steve Henson]
996
997 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
998 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
999 [Steve Henson]
1000
1001 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1002
1003 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1004 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1005
1006 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1007 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1008 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1009 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1010 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1011 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1012
1013 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1014 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1015 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1016 security.
1017 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1018
1019 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1020 parameters by name.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1024 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1025 [Steve Henson]
1026
1027 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1028 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1029 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1030 [Steve Henson]
1031
1032 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1033 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1034 multi-process servers.
1035 [Steve Henson]
1036
1037 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1038 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1039 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1040 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1041 RAND_METHOD structure.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1045 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1046 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1047 whose return value is often ignored.
1048 [Steve Henson]
1049
1050 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.

1056
1057 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1058
1059 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1060 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1061 AES-NI.
1062
1063 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1064 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1065 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1066 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1067 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1068 bytes.

1071 (CVE-2016-2107)
1072 [Kurt Roeckx]
1073
1074 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1075
1076 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1077 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1078 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1079 corruption.
1080
1081 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1082 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1083 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1084 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1085 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1086 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1087
1088 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1089 (CVE-2016-2105)
1090 [Matt Caswell]
1091
1092 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1093
1094 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1095 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1096 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1097 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1098 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1099 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1100 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1101 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1102 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1103 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1104 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1105 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1106 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1107 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1108 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1109 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1112 (CVE-2016-2106)
1113 [Matt Caswell]
1114
1115 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1116
1117 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1118 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1119 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1120
1121 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1122 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1123 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1124 applications are not affected.
1125
1126 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.

1128 [Stephen Henson]
1129
1130 *) EBCDIC overread
1131
1132 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1133 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1134 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

1150 [Kurt Roeckx]
1151
1152 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1153
1154 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1155 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1156 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1157 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1158
1159 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1160 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1161 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1162 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1163 will need to explicitly call either of:
1164
1165 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1166 or
1167 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1168
1169 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1170 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1171 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1172 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1173 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1174 (CVE-2016-0800)
1175 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1176
1177 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1178
1179 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1180 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1181 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1182 considered rare.
1183
1184 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1185 libFuzzer.
1186 (CVE-2016-0705)
1187 [Stephen Henson]
1188
1189 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1190
1191 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1192
1193 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1194 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1195 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1196 is configured.
1197
1198 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1199 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1200 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1201 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1202 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1203 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1204 that of a valid user.
1205 (CVE-2016-0798)
1206 [Emilia Käsper]
1207
1208 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1209
1210 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1211 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1212 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1213 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1214 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1215 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1216 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1217 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1218 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1219 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1220 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1221
1222 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1223 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1224 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1225 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1226 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1227
1228 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1229 (CVE-2016-0797)
1230 [Matt Caswell]
1231
1232 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1233
1234 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1235 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1236 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1237
1238 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1239 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1240 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1241 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1242 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1243 also occur.
1244
1245 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1246 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1247 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1248 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1249 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1250 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1251 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1252 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1253 as command line arguments.
1254
1255 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1256 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1257 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1258
1259 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1260 (CVE-2016-0799)
1261 [Matt Caswell]
1262
1263 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1264
1265 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1266 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1267 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1268 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1269 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1270
1271 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of

1281 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1283
1284 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1285 *) DH small subgroups
1286
1287 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1288 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1289 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1290 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1291 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1292 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1293 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1294 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1295 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1296 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1297
1298 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1299 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1300 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1301 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1302 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1303
1304 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1305 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1306 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1307 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1308
1309 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1310 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1315
1316 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1317
1318 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1319 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1320 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1321 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1330 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1331
1332 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1333 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1334 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1335 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1336 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1337 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1338 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1339 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1340 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1341 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1342 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1343 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1350
1351 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1352 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1353 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1354 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1355 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1356 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1357 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1389
1390 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1391 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1392 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1393 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1394 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1395 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1412 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1413 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1414 field.
1415
1416 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1417 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1418 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1419 client authentication enabled.

1427 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1428 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1429 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1430 time string.
1431
1432 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1433 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1434 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1435 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1436 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification

1495
1496 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1497 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1498 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1499 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1500 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1501 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1502 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1503 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.

1507 [Matt Caswell]
1508
1509 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1510
1511 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1512 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1513 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1514 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1515 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1516 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1517 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1518 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1519 server.

1521 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1522 (CVE-2015-0207)
1523 [Matt Caswell]
1524
1525 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1526
1527 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1528 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1529 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1530 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1531 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1532 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1533 (CVE-2015-0286)
1534 [Stephen Henson]
1535
1536 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1537
1538 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1539 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1540 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1541 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1542 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1543 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1544 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1545
1546 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1547 (CVE-2015-0208)
1548 [Stephen Henson]
1549
1550 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1551
1552 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1553 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1554 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1555
1556 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1557 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1558 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1559 not affected.
1560 (CVE-2015-0287)
1561 [Stephen Henson]
1562
1563 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1564
1565 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1566 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1567 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1568
1569 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1570 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1571 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1572
1573 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1574 (CVE-2015-0289)
1575 [Emilia Käsper]
1576
1577 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1578
1579 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1580 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1581 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1582
1583 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1584 (OpenSSL development team).
1585 (CVE-2015-0293)
1586 [Emilia Käsper]
1587
1588 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1589
1590 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1591 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1592 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1593 (CVE-2015-1787)
1594 [Matt Caswell]
1595
1596 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1597
1598 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1599 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1600 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1601 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1602 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1603 SSL_client_methodv23)
1604 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1605 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1606
1607 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1608 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1609 output may be predictable.
1610
1611 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1612 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1613
1614 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1615 (CVE-2015-0285)
1616 [Matt Caswell]
1617
1618 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1619
1620 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1621 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1622 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1623 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1624 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1625 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1626
1627 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1628 commit 517073cd4b.
1629 (CVE-2015-0209)
1630 [Matt Caswell]
1631
1632 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1633
1634 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1635 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1636
1637 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1638 (CVE-2015-0288)
1639 [Stephen Henson]
1640
1641 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1642 [Kurt Roeckx]
1643
1644 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1645
1646 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1647 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1648 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1649 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1650 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1651 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1652 [Andy Polyakov]
1653
1654 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1655 (other platforms pending).
1656 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1657
1658 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1659 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1660 [Rob Stradling]
1661
1662 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1663 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1664 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1665 [Bodo Moeller]
1666
1667 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1668 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1669 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1670 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1671 [Andy Polyakov]
1672
1673 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1674 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1675
1676 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1677 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1678 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1679 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1680 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1681
1682 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1683 [Andy Polyakov]
1684
1685 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1686 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1687 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1688 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1689
1690 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1691 RSAZ.
1692 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1693
1694 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1695 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1696 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1697 for TLS encrypt.
1698
1699 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1700 [Andy Polyakov]
1701
1702 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1703 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1704 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1705 [Steve Henson]
1706
1707 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1708 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1709 [Steve Henson]
1710
1711 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1712 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1713 [Steve Henson]
1714
1715 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1716 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1717 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1718 algorithms and include tests cases.
1719 [Steve Henson]
1720
1721 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1722 structure.
1723 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1724
1725 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1726 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1727 [Steve Henson]
1728
1729 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1730 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1731 summary of the connection parameters.
1732 [Steve Henson]
1733
1734 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1735 of connection parameters.
1736 [Steve Henson]
1737
1738 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1739 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1740
1741 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1742 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1743 [Steve Henson]
1744
1745 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1746 [Steve Henson]
1747
1748 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1749 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1750 [Steve Henson]
1751
1752 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1753 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1754 [Steve Henson]
1755
1756 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1757 certificates.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1761 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1762 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1766 [Steve Henson]
1767
1768 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1769 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1770 [Steve Henson]
1771
1772 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1773 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1774 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1775 tracing.
1776 [Steve Henson]
1777
1778 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1779 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1780 [Steve Henson]
1781
1782 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1783 OID NID.
1784 [Steve Henson]
1785
1786 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1787 client to OpenSSL.
1788 [Steve Henson]
1789
1790 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1791 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1792 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1793 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1794 [Steve Henson]
1795
1796 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1797 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1798 [Steve Henson]
1799
1800 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1801 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1802 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1803 comparison.
1804 [Steve Henson]
1805
1806 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1807 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1808 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1809 use the certificate.
1810 [Steve Henson]
1811
1812 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1813 [Steve Henson]
1814
1815 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1816 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1817 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1818 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1819 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
1820 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1821 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1822
1823 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1824 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1825
1826 [Steve Henson]
1827
1828 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1829 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1830 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1831 [Steve Henson]
1832
1833 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1834 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1835 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1836 supported signature algorithms.
1837 [Steve Henson]
1838
1839 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1840 [Steve Henson]
1841
1842 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1843 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1844 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1845 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1846 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1847 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1848 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1849 [Steve Henson]
1850
1851 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1852 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1853 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1854 to have similar checks in it.
1855
1856 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1857 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1858 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1859 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1860 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1861 [Steve Henson]
1862
1863 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1864 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1865 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1866 shared signature algorithms.
1867 [Steve Henson]
1868
1869 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1870 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1871 to support them.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1875 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1876 it couldn't be removed.
1877 [Steve Henson]
1878
1879 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1880 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1881 [Steve Henson]
1882
1883 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1884 functions. Add manual page.
1885 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1886
1887 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1888 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1889 a certificate.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1893 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1894
1895 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1896 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1897 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1898 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1899 utility) or reject.
1900 [Steve Henson]
1901
1902 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1903 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1907 platform support for Linux and Android.
1908 [Andy Polyakov]
1909
1910 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1911 [Andy Polyakov]
1912
1913 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1914 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1915 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1916 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1917 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1918 [Steve Henson]
1919
1920 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1921 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1922 the new parameter format automatically.
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1926 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1927 [Steve Henson]
1928
1929 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1930 [Steve Henson]
1931
1932 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1933 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1934 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1935 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1936 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1937 [Steve Henson]
1938
1939 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1940 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1941 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1942 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1943 to set list of supported curves.
1944 [Steve Henson]
1945
1946 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1947 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1948 to print out received values.
1949 [Steve Henson]
1950
1951 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1952 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1953 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1954 [Steve Henson]
1955
1956 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1957 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1958 [Steve Henson]
1959
1960 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1961 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1962 [Steve Henson]
1963
1964 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1965 certificates.
1966 [Steve Henson]
1967
1968 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1969 the certificate.
1970 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1971 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1972 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1973
1974 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1975
1976 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1977 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1978
1979 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1980
1981 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1982 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1983 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1984 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1985 (CVE-2014-3571)
1986 [Steve Henson]
1987
1988 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1989 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1990 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1991 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1992 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1993 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1994 (CVE-2015-0206)
1995 [Matt Caswell]
1996
1997 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1998 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1999 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2000 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2001 (CVE-2014-3569)
2002 [Kurt Roeckx]
2003
2004 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2005 ECDH ciphersuites.
2006
2007 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2008 reporting this issue.
2009 (CVE-2014-3572)
2010 [Steve Henson]
2011
2012 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2013 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2014 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2015 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2016 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2017 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2018 (CVE-2015-0204)
2019 [Steve Henson]
2020
2021 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2022 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2023 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2024 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2025 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2026 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2027 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2028 this issue.
2029 (CVE-2015-0205)
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2033 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2034
2035 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2036 and can vary with the CTX.
2037 [Adam Langley]
2038
2039 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2040
2041 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2042 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2043 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2044 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2045 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2046
2047 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2048
2049 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2050 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2051
2052 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2053
2054 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2055 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2056 errors for some broken certificates.
2057
2058 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2059
2060 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2061
2062 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2063 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2064
2065 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2066 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2067 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2068 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2069
2070 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2071 of the OpenSSL core team.
2072
2073 (CVE-2014-8275)
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2077 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2078 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2079 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2080 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2081 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2082 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2083 the OpenSSL core team.
2084 (CVE-2014-3570)
2085 [Andy Polyakov]
2086
2087 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2088 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2089 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2090 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2091 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2092
2093 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2094 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2095 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2096 [Emilia Käsper]
2097
2098 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2099 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2100 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2101 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2102 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2103
2104 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2105 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2106 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2107 [Emilia Käsper]
2108
2109 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2110
2111 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2112
2113 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2114 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2115 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2116 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2117 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2118 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2119 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2120
2121 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2122 (CVE-2014-3513)
2123 [OpenSSL team]
2124
2125 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2126
2127 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2128 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2129 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2130 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2131 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2132 attack.
2133 (CVE-2014-3567)
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2137
2138 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2139 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2140 configured to send them.
2141 (CVE-2014-3568)
2142 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2143
2144 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2145 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2146 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2147 (CVE-2014-3566)
2148 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2149
2150 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2151
2152 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2153 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2154 DigestInfo structures.
2155
2156 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2157
2158 [Steve Henson]
2159
2160 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2161
2162 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2163 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2164 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2165
2166 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2167 Group for discovering this issue.
2168 (CVE-2014-3512)
2169 [Steve Henson]
2170
2171 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2172 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2173 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2174 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2175 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2176
2177 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2178 researching this issue.
2179 (CVE-2014-3511)
2180 [David Benjamin]
2181
2182 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2183 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2184 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2185 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2186
2187 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2188 issue.
2189 (CVE-2014-3510)
2190 [Emilia Käsper]
2191
2192 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2193 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2194 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2195 (CVE-2014-3507)
2196 [Adam Langley]
2197
2198 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2199 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2200 Denial of Service attack.
2201 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2202 (CVE-2014-3506)
2203 [Adam Langley]
2204
2205 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2206 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2207 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2208 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2209 this issue.
2210 (CVE-2014-3505)
2211 [Adam Langley]
2212
2213 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2214 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2215 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2216
2217 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2218 issue.
2219 (CVE-2014-3509)
2220 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2221
2222 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2223 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2224 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2225 Denial of Service attack.
2226
2227 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2228 discovering and researching this issue.
2229 (CVE-2014-5139)
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2233 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2234 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2235 output to the attacker.
2236
2237 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2238 (CVE-2014-3508)
2239 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2240
2241 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2242 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2243 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2244 [Bodo Moeller]
2245
2246 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2247
2248 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2249 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2250 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2251
2252 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2253 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2254 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2255
2256 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2257 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2258 in a DoS attack.
2259
2260 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2261 (CVE-2014-0221)
2262 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2263
2264 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2265 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2266 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2267 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2268
2269 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2270 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2271
2272 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2273 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2274
2275 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2276 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2277 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2280 compilation flags.
2281 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2282
2283 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2284 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2285 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2286
2287 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2288 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2289
2290 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2291
2292 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2293 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2294 server.
2295
2296 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2297 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2298 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2299 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2300
2301 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2302 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2303 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2304 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2305
2306 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2307 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2308 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2309
2310 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2311
2312 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2313 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2314 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2315 is at least 512 bytes long.
2316
2317 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2318
2319 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2320
2321 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2322 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2323 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2324 (CVE-2013-4353)
2325
2326 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2327 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2328 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2332 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2333 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2334 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2335 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2336 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2337 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2338
2339 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2340
2341 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2342 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2343 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2344
2345 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2346
2347 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2348
2349 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2350 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2351 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2352
2353 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2354 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2355 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2356 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2357 (CVE-2013-0169)
2358 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2361 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2362 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2363 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2364 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2365 (CVE-2012-2686)
2366 [Adam Langley]
2367
2368 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2369 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2370 [Steve Henson]
2371
2372 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2373 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2374
2375 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2376 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2377 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2378 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2379 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2380
2381 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2385 if renegotiating.
2386 [Steve Henson]
2387
2388 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2389
2390 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2391 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2392
2393 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2394 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2395 (CVE-2012-2333)
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2399 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2403 approved.
2404 [Steve Henson]
2405
2406 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2407
2408 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2409 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2410 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2411 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2412 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2413 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2414 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2415 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2416 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2417 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2421 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2422 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2423 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2424 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2425 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2426 client side.
2427 [Andy Polyakov]
2428
2429 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2430
2431 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2432 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2433 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2434
2435 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2436 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2437 (CVE-2012-2110)
2438 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2439
2440 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2441 [Adam Langley]
2442
2443 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2444 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2445
2446 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2447 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2448 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2449 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2450 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2451 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2452 Most broken servers should now work.
2453 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2454 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2455 [Steve Henson]
2456
2457 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2458 [Andy Polyakov]
2459
2460 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2461
2462 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2463 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2464 [Steve Henson]
2465
2466 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2467 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2468 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2469 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2470 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2474 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2475 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2476 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2477 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2478 [Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2481 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2482
2483 *) Add support for SCTP.
2484 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2485
2486 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2487 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2488
2489 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2490
2491 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2492 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2493 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2494 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2495 - s390x: z196 support;
2496 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2497
2498 [Andy Polyakov]
2499
2500 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2501 (removal of unnecessary code)
2502 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2503
2504 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2505 [Eric Rescorla]
2506
2507 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2508 [Eric Rescorla]
2509
2510 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2511 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2512 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2513 by Google.
2514 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2515
2516 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2517 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2518 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2519 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2520 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2521
2522 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2523 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2524 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2525
2526 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2527 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2528 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2529
2530 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2531 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2532 implementations).
2533 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2534
2535 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2536 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2537 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2538 [Steve Henson]
2539
2540 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2541 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2542 particular PSS.
2543 [Steve Henson]
2544
2545 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2546 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2547 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2548 [Steve Henson]
2549
2550 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2551 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2552 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2553 the appropriate parameters.
2554 [Steve Henson]
2555
2556 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2557 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2558 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2559 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2560 against a number of sample certificates.
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2564 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2565
2566 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2567 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2568
2569 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2570 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2571 parameters r, s.
2572 [Steve Henson]
2573
2574 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2575 RFC3211.
2576 [Steve Henson]
2577
2578 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2579 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2580 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2581 password based CMS).
2582 [Steve Henson]
2583
2584 *) Session-handling fixes:
2585 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2586 but also support Session Tickets.
2587 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2588 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2589 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2590 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2591 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2592 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2593
2594 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2595 [Bodo Moeller]
2596
2597 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2598
2599 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2600 [Andy Polyakov]
2601
2602 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2603 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2604 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2605 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2606 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2610 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2611 [Steve Henson]
2612
2613 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2614 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2615 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2619 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2620 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2621 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2622 [Steve Henson]
2623
2624 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2625 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2626 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2630 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2631
2632 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2636 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2640 [Steve Henson]
2641
2642 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2643 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2647 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2648 [Steve Henson]
2649
2650 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2651 [Steve Henson]
2652
2653 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2654 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2655 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2656 [Steve Henson]
2657
2658 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2659 [Steve Henson]
2660
2661 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2662 [Steve Henson]
2663
2664 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2665 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2666 [Steve Henson]
2667
2668 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2669 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2670 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2671 [Steve Henson]
2672
2673 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2674 [Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2677 and enable MD5.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2681 FIPS modules versions.
2682 [Steve Henson]
2683
2684 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2685 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2686 until after the certificate request message is received.
2687 [Steve Henson]
2688
2689 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2690 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2691 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2692 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2693 [Steve Henson]
2694
2695 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2696 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2697 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2698 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2699 [Steve Henson]
2700
2701 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2702 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2703 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2704 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2705 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2706 and version checking.
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2710 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2711 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2712 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2713 [Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) Add SRP support.
2716 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2717
2718 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2719 [Steve Henson]
2720
2721 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2722 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2723 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2724
2725 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2726 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2727 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2728 [Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2731 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2732
2733 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2734 a few changes are required:
2735
2736 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2737 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2738 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2739 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2740 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2741 [Steve Henson]
2742
2743 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2744
2745 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2746 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2747 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2748 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2749 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2750 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2751 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2752 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2753 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2754 [Steve Henson]
2755
2756 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2757 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2758 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2759 [Steve Henson]
2760
2761 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2762
2763 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2764 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2765 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2766 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2767 [Antonio Martin]
2768
2769 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2770
2771 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2772 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2773 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2774 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2775 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2776 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2777 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2778 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2779 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2780 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2781 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2782 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2783 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2784
2785 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2786 (CVE-2011-4576)
2787 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2788
2789 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2790 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2791 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2792 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2793
2794 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2795 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2796
2797 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2798 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2799 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2800 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2801
2802 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2803 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2804
2805 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2806 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2807
2808 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2809 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2810
2811 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2812 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2813 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2814
2815 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2816 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2817 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2818
2819 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2820 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2821 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2822 the last update always remained unused).
2823 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2824
2825 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2826 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2827
2828 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2829
2830 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2831 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2832 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2833
2834 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2835 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2836 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2837
2838 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2839 [Bodo Moeller]
2840
2841 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2842 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2843 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2847 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2848
2849 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2850
2851 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2852
2853 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2854
2855 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2856 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2857
2858 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2859 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2860 ambiguous.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2864
2865 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2866 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2867 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2868 [Steve Henson]
2869
2870 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2871 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2872 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2873 [Ben Laurie]
2874
2875 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2876
2877 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2878 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2879 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2880 [Steve Henson]
2881
2882 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2883 a DLL.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2887
2888 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2889 (CVE-2010-1633)
2890 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2891
2892 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2893
2894 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2895 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2896 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2903 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2904 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2905
2906 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2907 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2908 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2912 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2916 some responders need this.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2920 correctly.
2921 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2922
2923 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2924 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2925 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2932 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2933 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2934 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2935 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2936 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2937 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2938 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2939 [Steve Henson]
2940
2941 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2942 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2943 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2944 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2945
2946 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2947 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2948
2949 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2950 be used on C++.
2951 [Steve Henson]
2952
2953 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2954 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2955 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2956 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2957 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2958 attempting to work them out.
2959 [Steve Henson]
2960
2961 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2962 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2963 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2964 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2968 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2969 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2970 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2971 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2972 [Steve Henson]
2973
2974 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2975 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2976 you can do:
2977
2978 openssl sha256 foo
2979
2980 as well as:
2981
2982 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2983
2984 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2985
2986 [Steve Henson]
2987
2988 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2989 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2990
2991 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2992 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2993
2994 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2995 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2996 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2997 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2998 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3002 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3003 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3004 [Steve Henson]
3005
3006 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3007 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3008 [Steve Henson]
3009
3010 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3011 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3012
3013 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3014 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3018 [Ben Laurie]
3019
3020 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3021 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3022 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3023 CONF_VALUE.
3024 [Ben Laurie]
3025
3026 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3027 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3028 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3029 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3030 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3031 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3032 [Steve Henson]
3033
3034 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3035 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3036
3037 This work was sponsored by Google.
3038 [Steve Henson]
3039
3040 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3041 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3042 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3043 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3044 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3045 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3046 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3047 default.
3048
3049 This work was sponsored by Google.
3050 [Steve Henson]
3051
3052 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3053
3054 This work was sponsored by Google.
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3058 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3059 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3060 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3061
3062 This work was sponsored by Google.
3063 [Steve Henson]
3064
3065 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3066 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3067 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3068 CRL functionality in future.
3069
3070 This work was sponsored by Google.
3071 [Steve Henson]
3072
3073 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3074
3075 This work was sponsored by Google.
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3079 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3080
3081 This work was sponsored by Google.
3082 [Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3085 and URI types are currently supported.
3086
3087 This work was sponsored by Google.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3091 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3092 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3093 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3094 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3095 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3096 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3097 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3098
3099 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3100 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3101 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3102
3103 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3104 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3105 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3106 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3107
3108 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3109 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3110 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3111 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3112 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3113 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3114 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3115 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3116 of &errno.)
3117 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3118
3119 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3120 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3121 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3122
3123 This work was sponsored by Google.
3124 [Steve Henson]
3125
3126 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3127 [Ben Laurie]
3128
3129 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3130 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3131 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3132 [Ben Laurie]
3133
3134 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3135 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3136 [Nick Mathewson]
3137
3138 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3139 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3140 [Ben Laurie]
3141
3142 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3143 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3144 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3145 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3146 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3147 content types and variants.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3151 [Steve Henson]
3152
3153 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3154 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3155 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3156 files from the associated perl scripts.
3157 [Steve Henson]
3158
3159 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3160 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3161 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3162
3163 *) s390x assembler pack.
3164 [Andy Polyakov]
3165
3166 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3167 "family."
3168 [Andy Polyakov]
3169
3170 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3171 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3172 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3173 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3174 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3175 to use. For example, specify an option
3176
3177 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3178
3179 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3180 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3181 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3182 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3183 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3184 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3185
3186 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3187 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3188 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3189 return non-zero for success.
3190
3191 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3192 by using
3193
3194 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3195 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3196
3197 where
3198
3199 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3200 void *arg;
3201
3202 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3203 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3204 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3205 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3206 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3207 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3208 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3209 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3210 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3211
3212 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3213 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3214 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3215 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3216 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3217 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3218
3219 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3220 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3221 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3222 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3223 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3224 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3225
3226 [Bodo Moeller]
3227
3228 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3229 MAC.
3230
3231 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3232
3233 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3234 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3235 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3236 supported.
3237
3238 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3239 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3240 SSL_SESSION.
3241
3242 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3243 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3244 with no application modification.
3245
3246 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3247 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3248
3249 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3250 or server extensions to be examined.
3251
3252 This work was sponsored by Google.
3253 [Steve Henson]
3254
3255 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3256 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3257 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3258
3259 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3260 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3261 ciphersuite support.
3262 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3265 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3266 to output in BER and PEM format.
3267 [Steve Henson]
3268
3269 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3270 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3271 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3272 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3273 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3277 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3278 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3279 utility.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3283 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3284 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3285 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3286 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3287 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3288 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3289 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3290 enabled again.
3291
3292 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3293 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3294 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3295 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3296
3297 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3298 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3299 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3300 the default order.
3301 [Bodo Moeller]
3302
3303 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3304 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3305 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3306 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3307 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3308 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3309 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3310 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3311 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3312
3313 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3314 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3315 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3316 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3317 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3318 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3319 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3320 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3321 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3322 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3323 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3324 kinds of kludges.
3325
3326 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3327 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3328 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3329
3330 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3331 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3332 "CAMELLIA256".
3333 [Bodo Moeller]
3334
3335 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3336 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3337 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3338 [Nils Larsch]
3339
3340 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3341 it yet and it is largely untested.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3345 [Nils Larsch]
3346
3347 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3348 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3349 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3350 [Steve Henson]
3351
3352 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3353 [Andy Polyakov]
3354
3355 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3356 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3357 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3358 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3359 [Steve Henson]
3360
3361 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3362 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3363 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3364 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3365 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3369 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3370 [Cryptocom]
3371
3372 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3373 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3374 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3375 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3376 [Steve Henson]
3377
3378 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3379 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3380 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3381 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3385 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3389 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3390 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3391 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3392 [Steve Henson]
3393
3394 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3395 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3396 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3400 utility.
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3404 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3405 [Steve Henson]
3406
3407 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3408 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3409 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3410 if necessary.
3411 [Steve Henson]
3412
3413 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3414 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3415 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3419 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3420 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3421 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3425 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3426 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3427 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3428 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3429 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3430 [Douglas Stebila]
3431
3432 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3433 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3434 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3435 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3436 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3437
3438 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3439 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3440 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3441 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3442 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3443 protocol).
3444
3445 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3446 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3447 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3448 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3449
3450 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3451 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3452 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3453 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3454 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3455
3456 aECDH - ECDH cert
3457 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3458 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3459
3460 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3461 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3462
3463 [Bodo Moeller]
3464
3465 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3466 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3470 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3471 [Steve Henson]
3472
3473 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3474 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3475 functional reference processing.
3476 [Steve Henson]
3477
3478 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3479 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3480 process.
3481 [Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3484 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3485 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3486 [Steve Henson]
3487
3488 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3489 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3490 application to support multiple signers.
3491 [Steve Henson]
3492
3493 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3494 digest MAC.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3498 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3499 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3500 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3501 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3502 [Steve Henson]
3503
3504 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3505 new API.
3506 [Steve Henson]
3507
3508 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3509 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3510 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3511 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3512 a no op.
3513 [Steve Henson]
3514
3515 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3516 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3517 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3518 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3519 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3520 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3521 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3522 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3526 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3527 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3528 between digests and public key types.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3532 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3533 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3534 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3538 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3539 key ASN1 method.
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3543 [Steve Henson]
3544
3545 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3546 pkeyutl.
3547 [Steve Henson]
3548
3549 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3550 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3551 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3552 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3553 pkey, genpkey.
3554 [Steve Henson]
3555
3556 *) BeOS support.
3557 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3558
3559 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3560 manual pages.
3561 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3562
3563 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3564 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3565 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3566 functionality for RSA.
3567 [Steve Henson]
3568
3569 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3570 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3571 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3572 [Steve Henson]
3573
3574 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3575 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3576 [Steve Henson]
3577
3578 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3579 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3580 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3581 [Steve Henson]
3582
3583 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3584 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3585 [Douglas Stebila]
3586
3587 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3588 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3589 [Steve Henson]
3590
3591 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3592 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3593 type.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3597 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3598 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3599 structure.
3600 [Steve Henson]
3601
3602 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3603 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3604 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3605 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3606 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3607 of public and private key structures.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3611 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3612 [Douglas Stebila]
3613
3614 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3615 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3616 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3617
3618 New ciphersuites:
3619 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3620 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3621
3622 New functions:
3623 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3624 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3625 SSL_get_psk_identity
3626 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3627
3628 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3629
3630 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3631 and response verification functionality.
3632 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3633
3634 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3635 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3636 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3637 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3638 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3639 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3640 server_name extension.
3641
3642 New functions (subject to change):
3643
3644 SSL_get_servername()
3645 SSL_get_servername_type()
3646 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3647
3648 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3649
3650 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3651 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3652 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3653 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3654 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3655
3656 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3657
3658 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3659 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3660 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3661 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3662 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3663 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3664 option.
3665
3666 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3667
3668 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3669 [Andy Polyakov]
3670
3671 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3672 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3673 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3674 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3675 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3676 [Andy Polyakov]
3677
3678 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3679 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3680 macro.
3681 [Bodo Moeller]
3682
3683 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3684 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3685 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3686 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3687 [Andy Polyakov]
3688
3689 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3690 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3691 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3692 using the maximum available value.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3696 in addition to the text details.
3697 [Bodo Moeller]
3698
3699 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3700 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3701 handle several customised structures at all.
3702 [Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3705 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3706 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3707 [Steve Henson]
3708
3709 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3710 [Steve Henson]
3711
3712 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3713 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3714 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3718 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3719 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3720 [Nils Larsch]
3721
3722 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3723 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3724 all fields.
3725 [Steve Henson]
3726
3727 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3731 [NTT]
3732
3733 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3734
3735 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3736 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3737 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3738 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3739 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3740 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3741 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3742 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3743
3744 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3745 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3746 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3747
3748 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3749
3750 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3751 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3752
3753 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3754 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3755 [Bodo Moeller]
3756
3757 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3758 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3759 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3760 [Steve Henson]
3761
3762 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3763 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3764 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3765 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3766 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3767 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3768 [Steve Henson]
3769
3770 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3771 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3772 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3773 [Steve Henson]
3774
3775 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3776 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3777 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3778 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3779 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3780 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3781 CVE-2009-4355.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3785 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3786 [Bodo Moeller]
3787
3788 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3789 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3790 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3791 [Steve Henson]
3792
3793 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3797 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3798 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3799 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3800 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3801 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3802 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3803 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3804 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3808 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3809 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3813 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3817 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3818 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3819 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3820 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3821 know what you are doing.
3822 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3825 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3826 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3827 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3828 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3829 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3830 the handshake.
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3834 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3835 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3836 correctly.
3837 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3838
3839 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3840 warnings in other configurations.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3844 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3845 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3846 systems need.
3847 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3848
3849 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3850 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3851 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3852
3853 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3854 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3855 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3856 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3860 and restored.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3864 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3865 clash.
3866 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3867
3868 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3869 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3870 other than a simple chain.
3871 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3872
3873 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3874 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3875 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3876 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3880 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3881 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3882 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3883 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3884 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3885 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3886 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3887 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3888
3889 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3890 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3891 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3892 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3893 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3894 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3895 (CVE-2009-1377)
3896 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3897
3898 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3899 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3900 [Daniel Mentz]
3901
3902 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3903 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3904
3905 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3906 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3907
3908 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3909
3910 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3911 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3912 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3913 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3914 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3915 you're doing.
3916 [Ben Laurie]
3917
3918 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3919
3920 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3921 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3922 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3923 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3924
3925 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3926 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3927 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3928 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3929
3930 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3931 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3932 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3933 [Steve Henson]
3934
3935 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3936 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3937 level.
3938 [Steve Henson]
3939
3940 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3941 to handle some structures.
3942 [Steve Henson]
3943
3944 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3945 for a '\n'
3946 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3947
3948 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3949 [Matthieu Herrb]
3950
3951 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3958 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3959 chosen compiler.
3960 [Ben Laurie]
3961
3962 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3963
3964 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3965 (CVE-2008-5077).
3966 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3967
3968 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3969 [Ben Laurie]
3970
3971 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3972 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3973 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3974 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3975
3976 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3977 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3978
3979 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3980 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3981 [Bodo Moeller]
3982
3983 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3984 s_client and s_server.
3985 [Ben Laurie]
3986
3987 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3988 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3989
3990 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3991 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3992
3993 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3994 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3995 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3996 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3997 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3998 [Bodo Moeller]
3999
4000 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4001
4002 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4003 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4004 [PR #1679]
4005
4006 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4007 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4008 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4009
4010 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4011 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4012 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4013 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4014
4015 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4016 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4017
4018 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4019
4020 *) Various precautionary measures:
4021
4022 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4023
4024 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4025 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4026 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4027
4028 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4029 outside the expected range.
4030
4031 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4032 builds.
4033
4034 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4035
4036 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4037 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4038 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4039
4040 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4044 [Huang Ying]
4045
4046 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4047
4048 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4052 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4053 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4054
4055 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4056 [Steve Henson]
4057
4058 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4059 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4060 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4061 files.
4062 [Steve Henson]
4063
4064 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4065
4066 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4067 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4068 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4069 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4070
4071 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4072 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4073 [Joe Orton]
4074
4075 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4076
4077 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4078 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4079 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4080
4081 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4082
4083 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4084 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4085 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4086 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4087 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4088
4089 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4090 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4091 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4092 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4093 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4094 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4095 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4096
4097 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4098
4099 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4100 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4101 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4102 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4103 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4104
4105 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4106 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4107
4108 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4109 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4110 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4111 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4112 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4113
4114 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4115
4116 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4117 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4118 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4119 sets may exist with different names.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4123 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4124 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4125 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4126 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4127 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4128 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4129 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4130 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4131 implementation.
4132 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4133
4134 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4135 implementation in the following ways:
4136
4137 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4138 hard coded.
4139
4140 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4141 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4142 ignored for embedded content.
4143
4144 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4145 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4146 [Steve Henson]
4147
4148 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4149 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4150 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4151 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4152
4153 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4154 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4158 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4159 [Steve Henson]
4160
4161 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4162 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4163 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4164 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4165 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4166 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4167 data.
4168 [Steve Henson]
4169
4170 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4171 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4172 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4173
4174 *) Netware support:
4175
4176 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4177 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4178 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4179 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4180 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4181 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4182 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4183 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4184 platform
4185 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4186 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4187 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4188 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4189 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4190 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4191 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4192
4193 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4194 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4195 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4196 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4197 to s_client and s_server.
4198 [Steve Henson]
4199
4200 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4201
4202 *) Fix various bugs:
4203 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4204 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4205 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4206 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4207 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4208
4209 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4210
4211 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4212 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4213 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4214 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4215 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4216 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4217 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4218 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4219 [Andy Polyakov]
4220
4221 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4222 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4223 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4224 Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4227 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4228 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4229 supported.
4230
4231 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4232 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4233 SSL_SESSION.
4234
4235 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4236 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4237 with no application modification.
4238
4239 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4240 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4241
4242 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4243 or server extensions to be examined.
4244
4245 This work was sponsored by Google.
4246 [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4249 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4250 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4251 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4252 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4253 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4254 server_name extension.
4255
4256 New functions (subject to change):
4257
4258 SSL_get_servername()
4259 SSL_get_servername_type()
4260 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4261
4262 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4263
4264 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4265 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4266 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4267 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4268 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4269
4270 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4271
4272 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4273 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4274 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4275 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4276 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4277 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4278 option.
4279
4280 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4281
4282 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4286 [Andy Polyakov]
4287
4288 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4289 (which previously caused an internal error).
4290 [Bodo Moeller]
4291
4292 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4293 [Ben Laurie]
4294
4295 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4296 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4297
4298 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4299 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4300 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4301
4302 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4303 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4304 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4305 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4306
4307 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4308 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4309 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4310 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4311
4312 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4313 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4314 information. For detailed background information, see
4315 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4316 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4317 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4318 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4319 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4320 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4321 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4322 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4323 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4324 remove a conditional branch.
4325
4326 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4327 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4328 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4329 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4330 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4331 remains as a deprecated alias.
4332
4333 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4334 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4335 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4336 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4337
4338 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4339 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4340 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4341 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4342 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4343 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4344 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4345 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4346
4347 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4348
4349 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4350 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4351 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4352 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4353 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4354 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4355 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4356 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4357 in a different context.
4358 [Bodo Moeller]
4359
4360 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4361 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4362 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4363 [Bodo Moeller]
4364
4365 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4366 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4367 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4368
4369 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4370
4371 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4372 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4373 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4374 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4375 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4376 [Victor Duchovni]
4377
4378 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4379 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4380 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4381 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4382 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4383 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4384 [Bodo Moeller]
4385
4386 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4387 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4388 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4389 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4390 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4391 [Bodo Moeller]
4392
4393 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4394 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4395
4396 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4397 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4398 Improve header file function name parsing.
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4402 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4403 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4404
4405 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4406
4407 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4408 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4409 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4410
4411 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4412 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4413
4414 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4415 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4416
4417 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4418 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4419 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4420
4421 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4422 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4423 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4424 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4425 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4426 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4427 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4428 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4429 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4430
4431 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4432 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4433 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4434 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4435 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4436
4437 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4438 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4439 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4440 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4441 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4442 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4443 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4444 multiple values to extend the available space.
4445
4446 [Bodo Moeller]
4447
4448 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4449
4450 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4451 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4452
4453 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4454 [Ben Laurie]
4455
4456 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4457 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4458 undesirable limitations.
4459 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4460
4461 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4462 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4463 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4464 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4465 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4466 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4467 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4468 [Bodo Moeller]
4469
4470 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4471
4472 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4473 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4474 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4475
4476 The latter two were purportedly from
4477 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4478 appear there.
4479
4480 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4481 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4482 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4483 [Bodo Moeller]
4484
4485 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4486 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4487 [Bodo Moeller]
4488
4489 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4490 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4491 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4492 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4493
4494 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4495 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4496 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4497 [NTT]
4498
4499 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4500 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4501 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4502 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4503 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4504 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4505 [Steve Henson]
4506
4507 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4508
4509 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4510 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4511 [Steve Henson]
4512
4513 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4514 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4515
4516 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4517 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4518 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4519 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4520 [Douglas Stebila]
4521
4522 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4523 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4524 [Steve Henson]
4525
4526 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4527 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4528 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4529 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4530 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4531 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4532 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4533 can't be loaded.
4534 [Steve Henson]
4535
4536 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4537 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4538 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4539 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4540 [Steve Henson]
4541
4542 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4543 under VC++ build system.
4544 [Steve Henson]
4545
4546 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4547 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4548 [Richard Levitte]
4549
4550 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4551
4552 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4553 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4554 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4555 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4556 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4557
4558 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4559 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4560 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4561
4562 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4563 [Steve Henson]
4564
4565 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4566 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4567 [Nils Larsch]
4568
4569 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4570 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4571
4572 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4573 [Nick Mathewson]
4574
4575 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4576 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4577
4578 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4579 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4580 [Steve Henson]
4581
4582 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4583 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4584 smime utility.
4585 [Steve Henson]
4586
4587 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4588
4589 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4590 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4591
4592 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4593 [Richard Levitte]
4594
4595 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4596 key into the same file any more.
4597 [Richard Levitte]
4598
4599 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4600 [Andy Polyakov]
4601
4602 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4603 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4604
4605 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4606 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4607 [Richard Levitte]
4608
4609 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4610 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4611 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4612 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4613 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4614 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4615
4616 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4617 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4618 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4619 [Steve Henson]
4620
4621 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4622 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4623 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4624 - add new function for parameter creation
4625 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4626 BN_BLINDING parameters
4627 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4628 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4629 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4630 threads.
4631 [Nils Larsch]
4632
4633 *) Add support for DTLS.
4634 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4635
4636 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4637 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4638 [Walter Goulet]
4639
4640 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4641 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4642 [Nils Larsch]
4643
4644 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4645 the apps/openssl applications.
4646 [Nils Larsch]
4647
4648 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4649 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4650 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4651 [Ben Laurie]
4652
4653 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4654 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4655
4656 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4657 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4658
4659 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4660 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4661 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4662 avoid this algorithm.)
4663
4664 [Bodo Moeller]
4665
4666 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4667 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4668 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4669 [Richard Levitte]
4670
4671 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4672 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4673 [Andy Polyakov]
4674
4675 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4676 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4677 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4678 pod file:
4679
4680 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4681
4682 The blank line is mandatory.
4683
4684 [Steve Henson]
4685
4686 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4687 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4688 sources.
4689 [Steve Henson]
4690
4691 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4692 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4693
4694 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4695 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4696 to support policy checking and print out.
4697 [Steve Henson]
4698
4699 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4700 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4701 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4702 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4703
4704 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4705 [Geoff Thorpe]
4706
4707 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4708 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4709
4710 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4711 implementation contributed by IBM.
4712 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4713
4714 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4715 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4716 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4717 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4718
4719 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4720 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4721
4722 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4723 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4724 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4725 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4726 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4727 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4731 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4732 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4733 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4734 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4735 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4736 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4737 [Geoff Thorpe]
4738
4739 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4740 [Steve Henson]
4741
4742 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4743 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4744 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4745 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4746 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4747 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4748 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4749 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4750 [Steve Henson]
4751
4752 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4753 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4754 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4755 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4756 [Steve Henson]
4757
4758 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4759 syntax:
4760
4761 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4762 [Steve Henson]
4763
4764 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4765 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4766 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4767 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4768 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4769 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4770 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4771 [Geoff Thorpe]
4772
4773 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4774 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4775 [Geoff Thorpe]
4776
4777 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4778 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4779 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4780 [Steve Henson]
4781
4782 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4783 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4784 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4785 below).
4786 [Geoff Thorpe]
4787
4788 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4789 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4790 [Richard Levitte]
4791
4792 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4793 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4794 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4795 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4796 [Geoff Thorpe]
4797
4798 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4799 initialised value as BN_new().
4800 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4801
4802 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4803 [Steve Henson]
4804
4805 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4806 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4807 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4808 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4809 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4810 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4811 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4812 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4813 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4814 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4815 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4816 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4817 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4818 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4819 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4820
4821 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4822 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4823 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4824 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4825 [Geoff Thorpe]
4826
4827 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4828 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4829 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4830 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4831 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4832 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4833 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4834 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4835 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4836 [Geoff Thorpe]
4837
4838 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4839 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4840 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4841 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4842 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4843 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4844 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4845 [Geoff Thorpe]
4846
4847 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4848 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4849 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4850 these have been updated also.
4851 [Geoff Thorpe]
4852
4853 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4854 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4855 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4856 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4857 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4858 functions.
4859 [Steve Henson]
4860
4861 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4862 structure of type "other".
4863 [Steve Henson]
4864
4865 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4866 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4867 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4868 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4869 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4870 situation in the script.
4871 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4872
4873 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4874 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4875 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4876 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4877 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4878 used as premaster secret.
4879 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4880
4881 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4882 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4883 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4884
4885 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4886 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4887
4888 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4889 control of the error stack.
4890 [Richard Levitte]
4891
4892 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4893 [Richard Levitte]
4894
4895 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4896 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4897 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4898 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4899 [Richard Levitte]
4900
4901 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4902 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4903 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4904 [Richard Levitte]
4905
4906 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4907 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4908 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4909 a memory area.
4910 [Richard Levitte]
4911
4912 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4913 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4914 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4915 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4916 [Richard Levitte]
4917
4918 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4919 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4920 the following flags are defined:
4921
4922 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4923 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4924 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4925 number.
4926
4927 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4928 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4929 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4930 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4931 returns zero.
4932 [Richard Levitte]
4933
4934 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4935 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4936 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4937 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4938 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4939 [Richard Levitte]
4940
4941 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4942 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4943 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4944 [Richard Levitte]
4945
4946 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4947 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4948 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4949 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4950 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4951 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4952 [Richard Levitte]
4953
4954 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4955 req and dirName.
4956 [Steve Henson]
4957
4958 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4959 [Steve Henson]
4960
4961 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4962 [Steve Henson]
4963
4964 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4965 [Steve Henson]
4966
4967 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4968 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4969 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4970 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4971 default implementation more easily.
4972 [Geoff Thorpe]
4973
4974 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4975 in config files.
4976 [Steve Henson]
4977
4978 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4979 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4980 [Richard Levitte]
4981
4982 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4983 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4984 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4985 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4986
4987 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4988 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4989 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4990 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4994 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4995 to do it.
4996 [Richard Levitte]
4997
4998 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4999 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5000 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5001 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5002 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5003 scalar * generator).
5004 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5005
5006 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5007 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5008 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5009 correctly.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5013 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5014 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5015 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5016 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5017 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5018 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5019 linker additions, eg;
5020 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5021 [Geoff Thorpe]
5022
5023 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5024 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5025 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5026 [Geoff Thorpe]
5027
5028 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5029 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5030 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5031 via PR#459)
5032 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5033
5034 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5035 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5036 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5037 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5038 [Geoff Thorpe]
5039
5040 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5041 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5042 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5043 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5044 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5045 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5046 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5047 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5048 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5049 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5050
5051 Example for using the new callback interface:
5052
5053 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5054 void *my_arg = ...;
5055 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5056
5057 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5058
5059 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5060 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5061 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5062 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5063 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5064 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5065 */
5066
5067 [Geoff Thorpe]
5068
5069 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5070 available to TLS with the number defined in
5071 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5072 [Richard Levitte]
5073
5074 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5075 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5076
5077 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5078 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5079 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5080 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5081
5082 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5083 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5084
5085 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5086 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5087 well.
5088 [Richard Levitte]
5089
5090 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5091 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5092 [Richard Levitte]
5093
5094 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5095 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5096 and a macro that behave like
5097 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5098
5099 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5100 [Nils Larsch]
5101
5102 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5103 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5104 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5105 if applicable.
5106 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5107
5108 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5109 [Bodo Moeller]
5110
5111 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5112 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5113 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5114 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5115 directory engines/.
5116 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5117 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5118 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5119 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5120 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5121 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5122 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5123 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5124
5125 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5126 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5127 [Richard Levitte]
5128
5129 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5130 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5131
5132 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5133 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5134 files while avoiding the low level API.
5135
5136 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5137 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5138 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5139 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5140
5141 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5142 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5143 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5144 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5145 instead of the low level API.
5146 [Steve Henson]
5147
5148 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5149 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5150 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5151 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5152 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5153 PKCS#7 code.
5154
5155 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5156 down to the template encoder.
5157 [Steve Henson]
5158
5159 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5160 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5161 [Bodo Moeller]
5162
5163 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5164 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5165 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5166 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5167
5168 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5169 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5170
5171 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5172 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5173
5174 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5175 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5176 [Bodo Moeller]
5177
5178 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5179 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5180 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5181 [Bodo Moeller]
5182
5183 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5184 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5185
5186 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5187 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5188
5189 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5190 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5191 New EC_METHOD:
5192
5193 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5194
5195 New API functions:
5196
5197 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5198 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5199 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5200 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5201 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5202 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5203
5204 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5205 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5206 enable it).
5207
5208 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5209 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5210 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5211 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5212 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5213 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5214 various internal method names.)
5215
5216 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5217 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5218
5219 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5220 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5221
5222 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5223 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5224
5225 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5226 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5227 methods are undefined.
5228
5229 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5230 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5231
5232 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5233 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5234 length of the modulus.
5235
5236 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5237 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5238
5239 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5240 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5241
5242 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5243 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5244
5245 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5246 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5247 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5248
5249 BN_GF2m_add
5250 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5251 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5252 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5253 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5254 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5255 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5256 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5257 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5258 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5259
5260 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5261 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5262
5263 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5264 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5265 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5266 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5267 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5268 where
5269 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5270 This applies to the following functions:
5271
5272 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5273 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5274 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5275 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5276 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5277 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5278 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5279 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5280 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5281 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5282
5283 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5284
5285 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5286 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5287
5288 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5289
5290 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5291 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5292 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5293 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5294 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5295
5296 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5297 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5298
5299 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5300 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5301 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5302
5303 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5304 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5305
5306 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5307 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5308 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5309 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5310 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5311
5312 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5313 functions
5314 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5315 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5316 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5317 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5318 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5319 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5320 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5321 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5322 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5323 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5324 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5325 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5326
5327 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5328 functions
5329 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5330 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5331 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5332 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5333 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5334
5335 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5336 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5337 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5338 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5339
5340 *) Add functions
5341 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5342 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5343 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5344 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5345 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5346 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5347 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5348
5349 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5350 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5351 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5352 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5353 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5354 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5355 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5356 adding different types of curves.
5357 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5358
5359 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5360 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5361 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5362 [Bodo Moeller]
5363
5364 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5365 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5366
5367 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5368 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5369 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5370 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5371
5372 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5373
5374 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5375 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5376
5377 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5378 library. Most notably,
5379 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5380 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5381 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5382 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5383 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5384 extracted before the specific public key;
5385 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5386 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5387
5388 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5389 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5390 function
5391 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5392 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5393 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5394 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5395 accessed via
5396 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5397 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5398 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5399
5400 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5401 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5402 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5403 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5404 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5405 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5406 differing sizes.
5407 [Richard Levitte]
5408
5409 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5410
5411 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5412 sensitive data.
5413 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5414
5415 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5416 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5417 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5418 [Bodo Moeller]
5419
5420 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5421 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5422 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5423 [Victor Duchovni]
5424
5425 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5426 [Steve Henson]
5427
5428 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5429 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5430 [Steve Henson]
5431
5432 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5433 run algorithm test programs.
5434 [Steve Henson]
5435
5436 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5437 [Steve Henson]
5438
5439 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5440 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5441 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5442 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5443 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5444 [Bodo Moeller]
5445
5446 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5447 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5448 [Steve Henson]
5449
5450 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5451
5452 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5453 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5454 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5455
5456 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5457 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5460 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5461
5462 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5463 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5464 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5465
5466 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5467 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5468 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5469 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5470 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5471 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5472 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5473 [Bodo Moeller]
5474
5475 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5476
5477 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5478 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5479
5480 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5481 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5482 undesirable limitations.
5483 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5484
5485 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5486
5487 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5488 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5489 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5490
5491 The latter two were purportedly from
5492 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5493 appear there.
5494
5495 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5496 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5497 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5498 [Bodo Moeller]
5499
5500 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5501 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5502 [Bodo Moeller]
5503
5504 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5505
5506 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5507 module in FIPS mode.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5511 [Steve Henson]
5512
5513 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5514 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5515 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5516 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5517 [Steve Henson]
5518
5519 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5520
5521 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5522 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5523 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5524 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5525 the difference induced by this change.
5526 [Andy Polyakov]
5527
5528 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5529
5530 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5531 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5532 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5533 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5534 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5535
5536 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5537 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5538 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5539
5540 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5541 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5545 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5546 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5547 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5548 biased k.)
5549 [Bodo Moeller]
5550
5551 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5552 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5553 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5554 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5555 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5556
5557 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5558 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5559 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5560 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5561 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5562 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5563
5564 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5565
5566 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5567 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5568 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5569 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5570 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5571 [Bodo Moeller]
5572
5573 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5574 clients need.
5575 [Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5578 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5579 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5580 [Steve Henson]
5581
5582 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5583 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5584 structures constant.
5585 [Steve Henson]
5586
5587 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5588
5589 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5590 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5591
5592 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5593 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5594 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5595 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5596 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5597 some needed definitions.
5598 [Steve Henson]
5599
5600 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5601 [Ulf Möller]
5602
5603 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5604 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5605 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5606 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5607 [Richard Levitte]
5608
5609 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5610
5611 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5612 server and client random values. Previously
5613 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5614 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5615
5616 This change has negligible security impact because:
5617
5618 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5619 data.
5620
5621 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5622 handshake.
5623
5624 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5625 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5626 values.
5627
5628 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5629 to our attention.
5630
5631 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5632
5633 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5634 [Ulf Möller]
5635
5636 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5637 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5638 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5639
5640 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5641 [Steve Henson]
5642
5643 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5644 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5645 [Andy Polyakov]
5646
5647 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5648 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5649 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5652 [Steve Henson]
5653
5654 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5655 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5656 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5657 certificates.
5658 [Steve Henson]
5659
5660 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5661 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5662 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5663 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5664
5665 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5666 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5667 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5668 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5669 been given)
5670 [Richard Levitte]
5671
5672 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5673
5674 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5675 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5676 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5677 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5678 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5679 [Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5682 [Steve Henson]
5683
5684 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5685 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5686
5687 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5688 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5689 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5690 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5691 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5692 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5693 rather than being initialized to 1.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5697
5698 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5699 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5700 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5701
5702 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5703 (CVE-2004-0112)
5704 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5705
5706 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5707 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5708 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5709 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5710 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5711 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5712 [Richard Levitte]
5713
5714 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5715 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5716 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5717 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5718 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5719 for these cases.
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5723 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5724 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5725 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5726 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5730 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5731 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5732 < 0.9.7.
5733 [Steve Henson]
5734
5735 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5736 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5737
5738 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5742
5743 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5744
5745 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5746 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5747
5748 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5749
5750 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5751 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5752
5753 [Steve Henson]
5754
5755 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5756 exiting on the first error in a request.
5757 [Steve Henson]
5758
5759 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5760 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5761 specifications.
5762 [Steve Henson]
5763
5764 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5765 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5766 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5767 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5768
5769 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5770 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5771 [Richard Levitte]
5772
5773 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5774 blocks during encryption.
5775 [Richard Levitte]
5776
5777 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5778 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5779 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5780 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5781 certain size.
5782 [Steve Henson]
5783
5784 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5785 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5786 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5787 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5788 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5789 parser.
5790 [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5793
5794 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5795 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5796 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5797 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5798 [Bodo Moeller]
5799
5800 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5801 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5802 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5803 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5804 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5805
5806 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5807 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5808 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5809 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5810 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5811 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5812 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5813 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5814 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5815 [Bodo Moeller]
5816
5817 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5818 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5819 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5820 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5821 [Geoff Thorpe]
5822
5823 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5824 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5825 [Ulf Moeller]
5826
5827 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5828
5829 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5830 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5831 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5832 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5833 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5834
5835 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5836 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5837 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5838
5839 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5840 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5841 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5842 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5843 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5844
5845 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5846 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5847 used by default when no-err is given.
5848 [Richard Levitte]
5849
5850 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5851 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5852
5853 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5854 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5855 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5856 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5857 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5858
5859 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5860 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5861 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5862 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5863
5864 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5865
5866 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5867
5868 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5869
5870 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5871 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5872 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5873 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5874 root is omitted).
5875 [Steve Henson]
5876
5877 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5878 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5879
5880 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5881 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5882 [Steve Henson]
5883
5884 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5885 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5886 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5887 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5888 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5889
5890 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5891 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5892 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5893 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5894 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5895 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5896 followup to PR #377.
5897 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5898
5899 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5900 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5901 [Andy Polyakov]
5902
5903 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5904 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5905 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5906 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5907
5908 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5909
5910 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5911 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5912
5913 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5914 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5915 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5916 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5917 client and server.
5918 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5919 PR #377.
5920 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5921
5922 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5923 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5924 removed entirely.
5925 [Richard Levitte]
5926
5927 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5928 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5929 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5930 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5931 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5932 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5933 of libcrypto.
5934 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5935 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5936 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5937 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5938 have to be made anyway).
5939 [Richard Levitte]
5940
5941 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5942 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5943 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5944 [Steve Henson]
5945
5946 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5947 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5948 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5949 [Richard Levitte]
5950
5951 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5952 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5953 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5954
5955 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5956 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5957 edit numbers of the version.
5958 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5959
5960 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5961 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5962 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5963
5964 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5965 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5966
5967 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5968 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5969 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5970
5971 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5972 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5973
5974 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5975 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5976
5977 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5978 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5979
5980 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5981 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5982
5983 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5984 overflows.
5985 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5986
5987 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5988 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5990
5991 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5992 representations in a platform independent manner.
5993 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5994
5995 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5996 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5997 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5998
5999 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6000 indents.
6001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6002
6003 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6004 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6005
6006 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6007 full. Fixed.
6008 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6009
6010 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6011 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6013
6014 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6015 unconditionally).
6016 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6017
6018 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6020
6021 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6022 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6023
6024 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6025 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6026
6027 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6028 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6029
6030 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6031 CBCParameter.
6032 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6033
6034 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6035 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6036
6037 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6038 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6039
6040 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6041 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6042 exploitable.
6043 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6044
6045 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6046 the 0.9.6 release series:
6047
6048 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6049 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6050 (CVE-2002-0657)
6051 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6052
6053 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6054 [Richard Levitte]
6055
6056 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6057 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6060 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6061
6062 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6063 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6064 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6065 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6066
6067 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6068 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6069 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6070
6071 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6072 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6073 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6074 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6075
6076 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6077 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6078 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6079 some local tweaks:
6080
6081 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6082 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6083 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6084 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6085 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6086 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6087 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6088 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6089 done
6090
6091 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6092 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6093 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6094 [Richard Levitte]
6095
6096 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6097 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6098 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6099 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6100 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6101
6102 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6103 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6104
6105 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6106 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6107 [Richard Levitte]
6108
6109 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6110 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6111 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6112 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6113 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6114 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6118 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6119 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6120 [Steve Henson]
6121
6122 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6123 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6124 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6125
6126 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6127 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6128 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6129 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6130 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6131 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6132 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6133 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6134
6135 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6136 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6137 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6138 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6139 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6140 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6141 [Steve Henson]
6142
6143 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6144 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6145 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6146 declaration has been changed from
6147 int (*cb)()
6148 into
6149 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6150 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6151 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6152 has been changed into
6153 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6154
6155 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6156 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6157 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6158
6159 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6160 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6161
6162 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6163 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6164 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6165 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6166 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6167 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6168 always load it have also been added.
6169 [Steve Henson]
6170
6171 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6172 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6173 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6174
6175 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6176
6177 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6178 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6179 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6180
6181 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6182 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6183 command line option can be used to specify an
6184 alternative file.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6188 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6189 [Steve Henson]
6190
6191 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6192 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6193 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6197 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6198 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6199 to work with the new engine framework.
6200 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6201
6202 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6203 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6204 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6205 to work with the new engine framework.
6206 [Richard Levitte]
6207
6208 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6209 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6210 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6211
6212 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6213 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6214
6215 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6216 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6217 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6218 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6219 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6220 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6221
6222 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6223 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6224
6225 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6226 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6227
6228 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6229 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6230 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6231 [Ben Laurie]
6232
6233 *) Add new functions
6234 ERR_peek_last_error
6235 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6236 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6237 These are similar to
6238 ERR_peek_error
6239 ERR_peek_error_line
6240 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6241 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6242 still in the error queue.
6243 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6244
6245 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6246 like:
6247 default_algorithms = ALL
6248 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6252 [Steve Henson]
6253
6254 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6258 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6259 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6260 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6261
6262 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6263 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6264
6265 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6266 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6267
6268 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6269 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6270 [Bodo Moeller]
6271
6272 *) New functions/macros
6273
6274 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6275 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6276 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6277 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6278
6279 to request calling a callback function
6280
6281 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6282 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6283
6284 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6285 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6286 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6287 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6288 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6289 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6290 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6291 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6292 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6293 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6294
6295 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6296 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6297 [Bodo Moeller]
6298
6299 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6300 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6301 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6302 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6303 the configuration scripts.
6304
6305 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6306 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6307 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6308
6309 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6310 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6311
6312 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6313 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6314 when reusing an existing buffer.
6315 [Bodo Moeller]
6316
6317 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6318 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6319 [Steve Henson]
6320
6321 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6322 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6323 [Ben Laurie]
6324
6325 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6326 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6327 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6328 has the same effect.
6329 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6330
6331 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6332 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6333 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6334 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6335 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6336 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6337 exception.
6338
6339 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6340 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6341 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6342 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6343
6344 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6345 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6346 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6347 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6348
6349 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6350 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6351 won't work.
6352
6353 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6354 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6355 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6356 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6357 default), and then completely removed.
6358 [Richard Levitte]
6359
6360 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6361 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6362 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6363 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6364 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6365 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6366 particular extension is supported.
6367 [Steve Henson]
6368
6369 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6370 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6371 [Steve Henson]
6372
6373 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6374 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6375 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6376 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6377 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6378 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6379 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6380 requires the destination to be valid.
6381
6382 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6383 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6384 [Steve Henson]
6385
6386 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6387 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6388 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6389 [Bodo Moeller]
6390
6391 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6392 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6393
6394 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6395 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6396 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6397 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6398 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6399 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6400 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6401 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6402 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6403 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6404 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6405 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6406 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6407 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6408 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6409 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6410 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6411 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6412 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6413 the new code.
6414 [Geoff Thorpe]
6415
6416 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6417 [Steve Henson]
6418
6419 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6420 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6421 become part of libeay.num as well.
6422 [Richard Levitte]
6423
6424 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6425 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6426 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6427 false once a handshake has been completed.
6428 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6429 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6430 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6431 client has followed the request.)
6432 [Bodo Moeller]
6433
6434 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6435 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6436 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6437 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6438
6439 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6440 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6441 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6442 [Bodo Moeller]
6443
6444 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6445 [Steve Henson]
6446
6447 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6448 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6449 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6450 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6451
6452 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6453 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6454 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6455
6456 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6457 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6458 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6459 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6460 [Geoff Thorpe]
6461
6462 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6463 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6464 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6465 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6466 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6467 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6468 [Geoff Thorpe]
6469
6470 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6471 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6472 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6473 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6474 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6475 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6476 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6477 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6478 [Geoff Thorpe]
6479
6480 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6481 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6482 [Geoff Thorpe]
6483
6484 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6485 [Ben Laurie]
6486
6487 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6488 md_data void pointer.
6489 [Ben Laurie]
6490
6491 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6492 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6493 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6494 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6495 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6496 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6497 [Ben Laurie]
6498
6499 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6500 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6501 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6502 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6503 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6504 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6505 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6506 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6507 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6508 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6509 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6510 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6511 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6512 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6513 rather than letting it slide.
6514
6515 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6516 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6517 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6518 [Geoff Thorpe]
6519
6520 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6521 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6522 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6523 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6524 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6525 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6526 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6527 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6528 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6529 [Geoff Thorpe]
6530
6531 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6532 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6533 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6534 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6535 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6536
6537 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6538 [Geoff Thorpe]
6539
6540 *) Add EVP test program.
6541 [Ben Laurie]
6542
6543 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6544 [Ben Laurie]
6545
6546 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6547 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6548 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6549 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6550 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6551 [Steve Henson]
6552
6553 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6554 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6555 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6556 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6557 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6558 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6559 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6560
6561 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6562 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6563 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6564 Usage example:
6565
6566 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6567
6568 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6569 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6570 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6571 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6572 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6573
6574 [Ben Laurie]
6575
6576 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6577 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6578 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6579 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6580 anyway): E.g.,
6581
6582 des_key_schedule ks;
6583
6584 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6585 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6586
6587 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6588 [Ben Laurie]
6589
6590 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6591 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6592 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6593 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6594 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6595 functions prevents this.
6596 [Steve Henson]
6597
6598 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6599 [Ben Laurie]
6600
6601 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6602 correct _ecb suffix.
6603 [Ben Laurie]
6604
6605 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6606 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6607 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6608 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6609 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6610 [Steve Henson]
6611
6612 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6613 [Richard Levitte]
6614
6615 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6616 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6617 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6618 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6619
6620 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6621 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6622
6623 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6624 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6625 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6626 via Richard Levitte]
6627
6628 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6629 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6630 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6631 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6632 [Geoff Thorpe]
6633
6634 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6635 Before:
6636 encrypt
6637 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6638 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6639 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6644 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6645 After:

6647 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6648 decrypt
6649 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6650 [Ben Laurie]
6651
6652 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6653 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6654
6655 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6656 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6657 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6658 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6659 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6660 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6661 [Steve Henson]
6662
6663 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6664 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6665 [Richard Levitte]
6666
6667 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6668 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6669 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6670 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6671
6672 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6673 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6674 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6675 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6676 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6677 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6678 callback.
6679 [Richard Levitte]
6680
6681 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6682 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6683 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6684 and interrupts/cancellations.
6685 [Richard Levitte]
6686
6687 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6688 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6689 [Steve Henson]
6690
6691 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6692 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6693 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6694
6695 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6696 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6697 kind of callback.
6698 [Richard Levitte]
6699
6700 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6701 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6702 than this minimum value is recommended.
6703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6704
6705 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6706 that are easily reachable.
6707 [Richard Levitte]
6708
6709 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6710 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6711
6712 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6713
6714 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6715 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6716 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6717 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6718 [Steve Henson]
6719
6720 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6721 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6722 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6723 [Steve Henson]
6724
6725 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6726 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6727 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6728 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6729 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6730 internally such as S/MIME.
6731
6732 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6733 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6734 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6735
6736 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6737 applications.
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6741 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6742 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6743 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6744
6745 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6746
6747 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6748
6749 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6750 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6751 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6752 handling.
6753 [Steve Henson]
6754
6755 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6756 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6757 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6758 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6759 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6760 a window system and the like.
6761 [Richard Levitte]
6762
6763 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6764 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6765 [Geoff]
6766
6767 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6768 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6769 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6770 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6771 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6772 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6773 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6774 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6775 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6776 ENGINE structure.
6777 [Geoff]
6778
6779 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6780 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6781 tag cache.
6782 [Steve Henson]
6783
6784 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6785 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6786 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6787 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6788 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6789 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6790 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6791 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6792 [Geoff]
6793
6794 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6795 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6796 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6797 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6798 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6799 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6800 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6801 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6802 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6803 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6804 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6805 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6806 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6807 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6808 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6809 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6810 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6811 [Geoff]
6812
6813 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6814 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6815 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6816 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6817 internal engine_int.h header.
6818 [Geoff]
6819
6820 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6821 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6822 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6823 modify their own ones).
6824 [Geoff]
6825
6826 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6827 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6828 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6829 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6830 later on via ctrl() commands.
6831 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6832 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6833 structural references.
6834 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6835 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6836 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6837 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6838 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6839 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6840 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6841 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6842 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6843 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6844 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6845 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6846 [Geoff]
6847
6848 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6849 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6850 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6851 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6852 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6853 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6854 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6855 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6856 [Bodo Moeller]
6857
6858 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6859 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6860 [Steve Henson]
6861
6862 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6863 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6864 [Steve Henson]
6865
6866 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6867 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6868 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6869 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6870 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6871 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6872 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6873 [Steve Henson]
6874
6875 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6876 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6877 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6878 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6879 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6880
6881 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6882 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6883 generator).
6884 [Bodo Moeller]
6885
6886 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6887
6888 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6889 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6890 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6891
6892 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6893 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6894
6895 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6896 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6897 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6898
6899 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6900 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6901
6902 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6903 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6904
6905 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6906
6907 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6908 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6909 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6910 [Bodo Moeller]
6911
6912 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6913 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6914 [Richard Levitte]
6915
6916 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6917 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6918 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6919 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6920 is 40 of more characters long.
6921 [Steve Henson]
6922
6923 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6924 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6925 pointers.
6926 [Steve Henson]
6927
6928 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6929 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6930 [Bodo Moeller]
6931
6932 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6933 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6934 might.
6935 [Steve Henson]
6936
6937 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6938
6939 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6940 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6941
6942 ASN1 error codes
6943 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6944 ...
6945 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6946 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6947 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6948 ...
6949 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6950 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6951
6952 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6953 [Bodo Moeller]
6954
6955 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6956 suffices.
6957 [Bodo Moeller]
6958
6959 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6960 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6961 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6962 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6963 and
6964 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6965
6966 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6967 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6968
6969 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6970 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6971 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6972 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6973 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6974 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6975
6976 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6977 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6978
6979 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6980 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6981
6982 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6983 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6984
6985 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6986 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6987 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6988 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6989
6990 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6991 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6992
6993 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6994 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6995
6996 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6997 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6998 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6999 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7000 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7001 [Richard Levitte]
7002
7003 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7004 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7005 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7006 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7007 [Steve Henson]
7008
7009 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7010 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7011 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7012 trust settings.
7013 [Steve Henson]
7014
7015 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7016 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7017 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7018 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7019 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7020 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7021 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7022 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7023 ocsp utility.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7027 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7031 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7032 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7033 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7034 [Steve Henson]
7035
7036 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7037 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7038 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7039 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7040 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7041 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7042 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7043 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7044 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7045 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7046 [Steve Henson]
7047
7048 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7049 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7050 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7051 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7052 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7053 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7054 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7055 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7056
7057 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7058 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7059 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7060 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7061 [Richard Levitte]
7062
7063 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7064 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7065 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7066 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7067 opensslconf.h.
7068 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7069 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7070 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7071 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7072 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7073 what is available.
7074 [Richard Levitte]
7075
7076 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7077 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7078 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7079 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7080 auto incremented.
7081 [Steve Henson]
7082
7083 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7084 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7085 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7089 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7090 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7091 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7092 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7093 [Steve Henson]
7094
7095 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7099 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7100 option to ocsp utility.
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7104 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7105 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7106 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7107 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7108 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7109 the request is nonce-less.
7110 [Steve Henson]
7111
7112 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7113 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7114 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7115 [Bodo Moeller]
7116
7117 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7118 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7119 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7120 [Steve Henson]
7121
7122 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7123 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7124 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7125 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7126 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7127 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7128
7129 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7130 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7131 appear to exist.
7132 [Steve Henson]
7133
7134 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7135 additional certificates supplied.
7136 [Steve Henson]
7137
7138 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7139 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7140 signature against.
7141 [Richard Levitte]
7142
7143 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7144 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7145 AES OIDs.
7146
7147 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7148 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7149 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7150 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7151 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7152 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7153 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7154 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7155 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7156
7157 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7158 request to response.
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7162 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7163 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7164 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7165 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7166 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7167 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7168 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7169 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7170 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7171 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7172 [Steve Henson]
7173
7174 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7175 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7176 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7177 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7178 [Steve Henson]
7179
7180 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7181 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7182
7183 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7184 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7185 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7186 [Steve Henson]
7187
7188 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7189 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7190 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7191 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7192 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7193
7194 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7195 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7196 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7197 [Steve Henson]
7198
7199 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7200 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7201 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7202 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7203 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7204 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7205 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7206 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7207
7208 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7209 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7210 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7211 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7212 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7213 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7217 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7218 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7219 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7220 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7221 printout format cleaned up.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7225 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7226 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7227 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7228 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7229 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7230 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7231 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7232 [Steve Henson]
7233
7234 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7235 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7236 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7237 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7238 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7239 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7240 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7241 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7242 [Steve Henson]
7243
7244 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7245 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7246 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7247 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7248 section to use.
7249 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7250
7251 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7252 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7253 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7254 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7258 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7259 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7260 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7261 in the index file.
7262 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7263
7264 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7265 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7266 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7267 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7268
7269 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7270 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7271
7272 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7273 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7274 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7275 [Steve Henson]
7276
7277 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7278 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7279 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7280 [Bodo Moeller]
7281
7282 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7283 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7284 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7285 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7286 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7287 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7288 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7289 functions are provided:
7290
7291 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7292 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7293 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7294 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7295
7296 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7297 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7298 extended allocation function is enabled.
7299 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7300 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7301 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7302
7303 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7304 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7305 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7306 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7307 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7308 [Geoff Thorpe]
7309
7310 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7311 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7312 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7313 be queried.
7314 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7315 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7316 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7317 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7318
7319 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7320 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7321 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7322 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7323 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7324 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7325 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7326 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7327 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7328 [Richard Levitte]
7329
7330 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7331 provide utility functions which an application needing
7332 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7333 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7334 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7335
7336 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7337 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7338 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7339 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7340 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7341 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7342 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7343 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7344 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7345
7346 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7347 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7348 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7349 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7350 [Steve Henson]
7351
7352 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7353 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7354 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7355 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7356 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7357 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7358 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7359 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7360 will be added elsewhere.
7361 [Steve Henson]
7362
7363 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7364 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7365 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7366 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7367 [Steve Henson]
7368
7369 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7370 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7371 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7372 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7373 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7374 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7375 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7376 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7377 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7378 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7379 to produce the required SET OF.
7380 [Steve Henson]
7381
7382 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7383 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7384 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7385 [Richard Levitte]
7386
7387 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7388 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7389 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7390 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7391 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7392 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7393 [Steve Henson]
7394
7395 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7396 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7397 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7398 [Steve Henson]
7399
7400 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7401 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7402 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7403 [Richard Levitte]
7404
7405 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7406 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7407 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7408 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7409 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7410 [Steve Henson]
7411
7412 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7413 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7417 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7418 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7419 certificates and CRLs.
7420 [Steve Henson]
7421
7422 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7423 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7424 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7425 [Steve Henson]
7426
7427 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7428 entries for variables.
7429 [Steve Henson]
7430
7431 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7432 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7433 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7434 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7435 [Bodo Moeller]
7436
7437 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7438 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7439 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7440 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7441 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7442 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7443 [Bodo Moeller]
7444
7445 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7446 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7447
7448 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7449 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7450 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7451 [Steve Henson]
7452
7453 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7454 print routines.
7455 [Steve Henson]
7456
7457 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7458 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7459 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7460 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7461 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7462 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7463 [Steve Henson]
7464
7465 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7469 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7470 for now but they will eventually go away.
7471 [Steve Henson]
7472
7473 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7474 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7475 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7476 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7477 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7478 has also been converted to the new form.
7479 [Steve Henson]
7480
7481 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7482 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7483 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7484 for negative moduli.
7485 [Bodo Moeller]
7486
7487 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7488 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7489 [Bodo Moeller]
7490
7491 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7492 set.
7493 [Bodo Moeller]
7494
7495 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7496 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7497 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7498 type-specific callbacks.
7499 [Geoff Thorpe]
7500
7501 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7502 RFC 2712.
7503 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7504 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7505
7506 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7507 in sections depending on the subject.
7508 [Richard Levitte]
7509
7510 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7511 Windows.
7512 [Richard Levitte]
7513
7514 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7515 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7516 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7517 be handled deterministically).
7518 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7519
7520 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7521 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7522 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7523 [Bodo Moeller]
7524
7525 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7526 [Bodo Moeller]
7527
7528 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7529 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7530 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7531 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7532 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7533 [Bodo Moeller]
7534
7535 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7536 sign of the number in question.
7537
7538 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7539
7540 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7541 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7542 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7543 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7544 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7545 [Bodo Moeller]
7546
7547 *) New function BN_swap.
7548 [Bodo Moeller]
7549
7550 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7551 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7552 results on negative inputs.
7553 [Bodo Moeller]
7554
7555 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7556 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7557 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7558 [Bodo Moeller]
7559
7560 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7561 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7562 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7563 and add new functions:
7564
7565 BN_nnmod
7566 BN_mod_sqr
7567 BN_mod_add
7568 BN_mod_add_quick
7569 BN_mod_sub
7570 BN_mod_sub_quick
7571 BN_mod_lshift1
7572 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7573 BN_mod_lshift
7574 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7575
7576 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7577
7578 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7579 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7580
7581 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7582 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7583 be reduced modulo m.
7584 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7585
7586 #if 0
7587 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7588 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7589 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7590
7591 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7592 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7593 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7594 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7595 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7596 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7597 differing sizes.
7598 [Richard Levitte]
7599 #endif
7600
7601 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7602 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7603 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7604 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7605 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7606
7607 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7608 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7609 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7610 cause any problems.
7611 [Bodo Moeller]
7612
7613 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7614 [Richard Levitte]
7615
7616 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7617 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7618 [Richard Levitte]
7619
7620 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7621 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7622 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7623 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7624 time)
7625 [Richard Levitte]
7626
7627 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7628 [Richard Levitte]
7629
7630 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7631 [Richard Levitte]
7632
7633 *) Add the following functions:
7634
7635 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7636 ENGINE_load_chil()
7637 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7638 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7639 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7640
7641 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7642 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7643 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7644 libraries unless it's really needed.
7645
7646 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7647 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7648 declarations (they differed!).
7649 [Richard Levitte]
7650
7651 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7652 [Richard Levitte]
7653
7654 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7655 [Richard Levitte]
7656
7657 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7658 [Bodo Moeller]
7659
7660 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7661 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7662 [Richard Levitte]
7663
7664 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7665 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7666 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7667
7668 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7669 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7670 [Richard Levitte]
7671
7672 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7673 [Richard Levitte]
7674
7675 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7676 [Richard Levitte]
7677
7678 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7679 [Ben Laurie]
7680
7681 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7682 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7683 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7684
7685 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7686 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7687 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7688 different shared library filenames on each system.
7689 [Geoff Thorpe]
7690
7691 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7692 [Richard Levitte]
7693
7694 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7695 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7696 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7697 of two sections.
7698 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7699
7700 *) NCONF changes.
7701 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7702 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7703 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7704 binary backward compatibility.
7705 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7706 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7707 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7708 LDAP server.
7709 [Richard Levitte]
7710
7711 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7712 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7713 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7714 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7715 this case.
7716 [Steve Henson]
7717
7718 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7719 [Ben Laurie]
7720
7721 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7722 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7723 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7724 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7725 set.
7726 [Steve Henson]
7727
7728 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7729 [Richard Levitte]
7730
7731 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7732
7733 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7734 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7735 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7736
7737 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7738
7739 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7740
7741 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7742 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7743 [Steve Henson]
7744
7745 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7746
7747 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7748
7749 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7750 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7751
7752 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7753 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7754
7755 [Steve Henson]
7756
7757 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7758 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7759 specifications.
7760 [Steve Henson]
7761
7762 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7763 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7764 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7765 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7766
7767 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7768 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7769 [Richard Levitte]
7770
7771 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7772
7773 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7774 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7775 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7776 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7777 [Bodo Moeller]
7778
7779 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7780 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7781 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7782 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7783 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7784
7785 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7786 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7787 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7788 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7789 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7790 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7791 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7792 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7793 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7794 [Bodo Moeller]
7795
7796 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7797
7798 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7799 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7800 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7801 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7802 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7803
7804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7805 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7806 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7807
7808 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7809
7810 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7811 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7812 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7813 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7814 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7815 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7816 [Geoff Thorpe]
7817
7818 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7819 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7820 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7821 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7822 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7823 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7824
7825 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7826 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7827 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7828
7829 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7830 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7831 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7832 EVP_cleanup().
7833 [Richard Levitte]
7834
7835 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7836 being properly terminated.
7837 [Richard Levitte]
7838
7839 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7840 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7841 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7842 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7843
7844 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7845 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7846 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7847 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7848 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7849 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7850 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7851 change.
7852 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7853
7854 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7855 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7856 [Bodo Moeller]
7857
7858 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7859 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7860 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7861 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7862 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7863 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7864 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7865 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7866
7867 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7868 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7869 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7870 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7871 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7872
7873 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7874 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7875 [Steve Henson]
7876
7877 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7878
7879 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7880 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7881 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7882
7883 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7884
7885 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7886 and get fix the header length calculation.
7887 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7888 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7889 Steve Henson]
7890
7891 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7892 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7893 assertions could call abort()).
7894 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7895
7896 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7897
7898 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7899 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7900 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7901 supplied buffer.
7902 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7903
7904 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7905 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7906 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7907 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7908
7909 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7910 [Nils Larsch]
7911
7912 *) New option
7913 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7914 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7915 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7916
7917 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7918 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7919 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7920 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7921 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7922 applications.
7923 [Bodo Moeller]
7924
7925 *) Changes in security patch:
7926
7927 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7928 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7929 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7930 F30602-01-2-0537.
7931
7932 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7933 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7934 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7935 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7936 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7937
7938 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7939 happen in practice.
7940 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7941
7942 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7943 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7944 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7945
7946 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7947 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7948 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7949
7950 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7951 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7952 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7953
7954 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7955
7956 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7957 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7958 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7959
7960 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7961 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7962
7963 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7964 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
7965 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7966 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7967 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7968 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7969 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7970
7971 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7972 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7973 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7974 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7975 [Bodo Moeller]
7976
7977 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7978 [Bodo Moeller]
7979
7980 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7981 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7982 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7983 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7984 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7985 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7986
7987 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7988 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7989 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7990 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7991 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7992 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7993
7994 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7995 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7996 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7997 BN_generate_prime().)
7998
7999 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8000 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8001 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8002 better.
8003 [Bodo Moeller]
8004
8005 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8006 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8007 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8008
8009 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8010 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8011 when using non-blocking I/O.
8012 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8013
8014 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8015 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8016
8017 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8018 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8019 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8020
8021 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8022 configuration for the versions before that.
8023 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8024
8025 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8026 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8027 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8028 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8029 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8030
8031 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8032 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8033 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8034 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8035
8036 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8037 value is 0.
8038 [Richard Levitte]
8039
8040 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8041 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8042 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8043
8044 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8045 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8046
8047 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8048 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8049 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8050 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8051 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8052 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8053 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8054 session cache.
8055
8056 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8057 using a local variable.
8058 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8059
8060 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8061 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8062 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8063
8064 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8065 [Richard Levitte]
8066
8067 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8068 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8069
8070 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8071 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8072 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8073
8074 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8075
8076 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8077 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8078 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8079 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8080 [Bodo Moeller]
8081
8082 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8083 present.
8084 [Steve Henson]
8085
8086 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8087 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8088 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8089 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8090 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8091
8092 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8093 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8094 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8095
8096 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8097 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8098 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8099
8100 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8101 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8102 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8103 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8104
8105 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8106 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8107 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8108 modules).
8109 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8110
8111 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8112 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8113 from 0.9.7.
8114 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8115
8116 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8117 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8118 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8119 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8120
8121 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8122 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8123 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8124 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8125
8126 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8127 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8128
8129 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8130 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8131 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8132 [Bodo Moeller]
8133
8134 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8135 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8136 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8137 become invalid.
8138 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8139
8140 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8141 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8142 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8143 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8144 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8145 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8146 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8147 [Bodo Moeller]
8148
8149 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8150 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8151 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8152 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8153
8154 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8155 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8156 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8157 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8158 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8159 the client will at least see that alert.
8160 [Bodo Moeller]
8161
8162 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8163 correctly.
8164 [Bodo Moeller]
8165
8166 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8167 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8168 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8169
8170 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8171 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8172 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8173 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8174 HelloRequest.
8175
8176 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8177 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8178 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8179
8180 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8181 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8182 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8183 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8184 may leak via logfiles.)
8185
8186 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8187 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8188 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8189 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8190 the legal range.
8191 [Bodo Moeller]
8192
8193 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8194 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8195 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8196
8197 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8198 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8199 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8200 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8201 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8202 [Bodo Moeller]
8203
8204 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8205 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8206
8207 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8208 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8209 followed by modular reduction.
8210 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8211
8212 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8213 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8214 [Bodo Moeller]
8215
8216 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8217 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8218 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8219 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8220 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8221
8222 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8223 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8224
8225 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8226 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8227 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8228
8229 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8230 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8231 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8232 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8233 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8234 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8235 automatically.
8236 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8237
8238 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8239 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8240 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8241 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8242 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8243
8244 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8245 [Andy Polyakov]
8246
8247 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8248 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8249 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8250 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8251 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8252 to allow the necessary settings.
8253 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8254
8255 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8256 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8257 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8258 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8259 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8260
8261 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8262 dh->length and always used
8263
8264 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8265
8266 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8267 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8268 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8269 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8270 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8271 dh->length.
8272
8273 So switch back to
8274
8275 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8276
8277 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8278 otherwise.
8279 [Bodo Moeller]
8280
8281 *) In
8282
8283 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8284 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8285 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8286 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8287
8288 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8289 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8290 always reject numbers >= n.
8291 [Bodo Moeller]
8292
8293 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8294 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8295 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8296 variable) is not atomic.
8297 [Bodo Moeller]
8298
8299 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8300 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8301 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8302 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8303
8304 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8305 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8306
8307 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8308 little-endian MIPS.
8309 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8310
8311 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8312 [Richard Levitte]
8313
8314 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8315
8316 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8317 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8318 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8319 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8320 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8321 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8322 to traverse all of 'state'.
8323
8324 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8325 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8326 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8327
8328 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8329 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8330
8331 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8332 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8333 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8334 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8335 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8336 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8337 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8338 further strengthens the PRNG.
8339 [Bodo Moeller]
8340
8341 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8342 [Andy Polyakov]
8343
8344 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8345 an error message in this case.
8346 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8347
8348 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8349 [Steve Henson]
8350
8351 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8352 positive and less than q.
8353 [Bodo Moeller]
8354
8355 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8356 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8357 that itself.
8358 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8359
8360 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8361 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8362 [Bodo Moeller]
8363
8364 *) Fix OAEP check.
8365 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8366
8367 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8368 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8369 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8370 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8371 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8372 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8373 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8374 paper.)
8375
8376 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8377 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8378 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8379 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8380
8381 Both problems are now fixed.
8382 [Bodo Moeller]
8383
8384 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8385 (previously it was 1024).
8386 [Bodo Moeller]
8387
8388 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8389 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8390 [Steve Henson]
8391
8392 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8393 [Steve Henson]
8394
8395 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8396 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8397 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8398 [Steve Henson]
8399
8400 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8401 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8402 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8403 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8404 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8405 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8406 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8407 environment variables.
8408
8409 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8410 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8411 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8412 [Bodo Moeller]
8413
8414 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8415 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8416 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8417 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8418 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8419 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8420 [Bodo Moeller]
8421
8422 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8423 versions of 'test'.
8424 [Bodo Moeller]
8425
8426 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8427
8428 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8429 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8430
8431 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8432 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8433 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8434 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8435 CygWin.
8436 [Richard Levitte]
8437
8438 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8439 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8440 amount of data available.
8441 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8442 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8443
8444 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8445 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8446 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8447 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8448 [Bodo Moeller]
8449
8450 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8451 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8452 and UnixWare.
8453 [Richard Levitte]
8454
8455 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8456 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8457 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8458 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8459 [Ulf Moeller]
8460
8461 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8462 [Andy Polyakov]
8463
8464 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8465 [Richard Levitte]
8466
8467 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8468 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8469 [Steve Henson]
8470 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8471
8472 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8473 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8474 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8475 (but broken) behaviour.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477
8478 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8479 it when found.
8480 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8481
8482 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8483 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8484 [Bodo Moeller]
8485
8486 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8487 did not exist.
8488 [Bodo Moeller]
8489
8490 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8491 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8492
8493 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8494 [Richard Levitte]
8495
8496 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8497 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8498 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8499
8500 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8501 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8502 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8503 [Steve Henson]
8504
8505 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8506 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8507 [Ulf Moeller]
8508
8509 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8510 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8511
8512 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8513
8514 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8515
8516 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8517 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8518 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8519 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8520 [Bodo Moeller]
8521
8522 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8523 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8524
8525 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8526 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8527 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8528
8529 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8530 was empty.
8531 [Steve Henson]
8532 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8533
8534 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8535 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8536 but the code is actually correct.
8537 [Steve Henson]
8538
8539 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8540 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8541 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8542 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8543 and leaves the highest bit random.
8544 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8545
8546 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8547 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8548 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8549 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8550 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8551 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8552 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8553 [Bodo Moeller]
8554
8555 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8556 [Ulf Moeller]
8557
8558 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8559 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8560 [Steve Henson]
8561
8562 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8563 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8564 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8565 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8566 headers.
8567 [Richard Levitte]
8568
8569 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8570 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8571 and break the signature.
8572 [Steve Henson]
8573 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8574
8575 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8576 DH ciphersuites.
8577 [Steve Henson]
8578
8579 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8580 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8581 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8582 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8583 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8584 [Bodo Moeller]
8585
8586 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8587 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8588
8589 *) ./config script fixes.
8590 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8591
8592 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8593 [Bodo Moeller]
8594
8595 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8596 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8597 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8598 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8599 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8600
8601 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8602 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8603 [Bodo Moeller]
8604
8605 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8606 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8607 [Steve Henson]
8608
8609 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8610 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8611 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8612 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8613
8614 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8615 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8616
8617 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8618 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8619 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8620 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8621 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8622
8623 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8624 [Bodo Moeller]
8625
8626 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8627 [Ulf Möller]
8628
8629 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8630 [Ulf Möller]
8631
8632 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8633 [Bodo Moeller]
8634
8635 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8636 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8637 [Bodo Moeller]
8638
8639 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8640 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8641 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8642 result of the server certificate verification.)
8643 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8644
8645 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8646 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8647 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8648 [Bodo Moeller]
8649
8650 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8651 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8652 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8653 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8654 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8655 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8656 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8657 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8658 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8662 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8663 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8664 happening the other way round.
8665 [Geoff Thorpe]
8666
8667 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8668 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8669 [Bodo Moeller]
8670
8671 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8672 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8673 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8674 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8675 [Richard Levitte]
8676
8677 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8678 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8679
8680 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8681
8682 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8683 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8684 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8685 that.
8686
8687 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8688
8689 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8690
8691 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8692 static ones.
8693 [Richard Levitte]
8694
8695 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8696
8697 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8698 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8699 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8700 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8701 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8702
8703 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8704 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8705 matter what.
8706 [Richard Levitte]
8707
8708 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8710
8711 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8712
8713 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8714 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8715 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8716 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8717 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8718 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8719 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8720 by the Finished messages.
8721 [Bodo Moeller]
8722
8723 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8724 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8725
8726 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8727 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8728 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8729 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8730 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8731 appropriately.
8732 [Steve Henson]
8733
8734 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8735 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8736 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8737 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8738 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8739 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8740 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8741 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8742 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8743 together.
8744 [Steve Henson]
8745
8746 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8747 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8748 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8749 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8750
8751 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8752 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8753 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8754 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8755 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8756 the answer.
8757
8758 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8759 been tested well enough.
8760 [Richard Levitte]
8761
8762 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8763 it can return incorrect results.
8764 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8765 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8766 [Bodo Moeller]
8767
8768 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8769 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8770 include zero length content when signing messages.
8771 [Steve Henson]
8772
8773 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8774 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8775 [Bodo Möller]
8776
8777 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8778 [Richard Levitte]
8779
8780 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8781 wrong sign.
8782 [Ulf Möller]
8783
8784 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8785 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8786 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8787 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8788 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8789 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8790 [Richard Levitte]
8791
8792 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8793 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8794
8795 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8796 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8797
8798 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8799 random number < q in the DSA library.
8800 [Ulf Möller]
8801
8802 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8803 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8804 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8805 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8806 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8807 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8808 just makes things more complicated.)
8809 [Bodo Moeller]
8810
8811 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8812 from EGD.
8813 [Ben Laurie]
8814
8815 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8816 work better on such systems.
8817 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8818
8819 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8820 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8821 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8822 [Steve Henson]
8823
8824 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8825 if there was more than one signature.
8826 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8827
8828 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8829 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8830 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8831 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8832 [Richard Levitte]
8833
8834 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8835 rather than always using the current time.
8836 [Steve Henson]
8837
8838 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8839 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8840 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8841 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8842 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8843 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8844
8845 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8846 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8847
8848 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8849
8850 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8851 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8852 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8853 the same hash value.
8854
8855 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8856 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8857 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8858 with X509_STORE internally.
8859
8860 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8861 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8862
8863 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8864 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8865 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8866 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8867 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8868 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8869 entirely (maybe later...).
8870
8871 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8872
8873 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8874 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8875 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8876 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8877 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8878 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8879 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8880 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8881
8882 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8883 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8884
8885 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8886 to customise the verify behaviour.
8887 [Steve Henson]
8888
8889 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8890 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8891 [Steve Henson]
8892
8893 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8894 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
8895 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8896 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8897 request is improperly encoded.
8898 [Steve Henson]
8899
8900 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8901 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8902 BIO_write(b, ...).
8903
8904 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8905 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8906
8907 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8908 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8909 words set to zero.)
8910 [Bodo Moeller]
8911
8912 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8913 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8914 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8915 [Bodo Moeller]
8916
8917 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8918 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8919 BIO/fp routines also added.
8920 [Steve Henson]
8921
8922 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8923 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8924
8925 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8926 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8927 demos/state_machine.
8928 [Ben Laurie]
8929
8930 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8931 generation and verification.
8932 [Steve Henson]
8933
8934 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8935 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8936 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8937 encode and decode it manually.
8938 [Steve Henson]
8939
8940 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8941 compile under VC++.
8942 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8943
8944 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8945 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8946 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8947 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8948
8949 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8950 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8951 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8952 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8953 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8954 [Steve Henson]
8955
8956 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8957 [Richard Levitte]
8958
8959 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8960 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8961 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8962
8963 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8964 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8965 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8966 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8967 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8968 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8969 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8970 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8971
8972 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8973 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8974
8975 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8976
8977 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8978 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8979 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8980
8981 [Richard Levitte]
8982
8983 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8984 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8985 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8986 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8987 [Richard Levitte]
8988
8989 *) MD4 implemented.
8990 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8991
8992 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8993 [Richard Levitte]
8994
8995 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8996 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8997 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8998 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8999 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9000 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9001 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9002 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9003 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9004 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9005 short or long names are found.
9006 [Steve Henson]
9007
9008 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9009 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9010
9011 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9012 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9013 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9014 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9015
9016 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9017 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9018 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9019 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9020 [Bodo Moeller]
9021
9022 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9023 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9024 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9025 [Richard Levitte]
9026
9027 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9028 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9029 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9030 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9031 to allow the various flags to be set.
9032 [Steve Henson]
9033
9034 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9035 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9036 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9037 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9038 dates to be checked.
9039 [Steve Henson]
9040
9041 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9042 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9043 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9044 [Steve Henson]
9045
9046 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9047 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9048 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9049 [Steve Henson]
9050
9051 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9052 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9053 [Bodo Moeller]
9054
9055 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9056 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9057 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9058 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9059 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9060 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9061 [Richard Levitte]
9062
9063 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9064 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9065 Random Numbers.
9066 [Ulf Möller]
9067
9068 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9069 DSA key.
9070 [Steve Henson]
9071
9072 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9073 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9074 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9075 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9076 form signing output easier to verify.
9077 [Steve Henson]
9078
9079 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9080 [Steve Henson]
9081
9082 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9083 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9084 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9085 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9086 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9087 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9088 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9089 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9090 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9091 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9092 [Steve Henson]
9093
9094 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9095
9096 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9097 the syntax given in objects.README.
9098 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9099 obj_mac.h.
9100 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9101 obj_mac.h.
9102
9103 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9104 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9105 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9106 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9107 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9108 consistent name changes.
9109 [Richard Levitte]
9110
9111 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9112 [Bodo Moeller]
9113
9114 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9115 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9116 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9117 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9118 [Richard Levitte]
9119
9120 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9121 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9122 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9123 of safestack.h .
9124 [Steve Henson]
9125
9126 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9127 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9128 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9129 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9130 [Steve Henson]
9131
9132 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9133 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9134 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9135 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9136 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9137 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9138 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9139 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9140 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9141 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9142 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9143 [Steve Henson]
9144
9145 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9146 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9147 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9148 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9149 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9150 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9151 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9152 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9153 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9154 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9155 [Steve Henson]
9156
9157 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9158 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9159 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9160 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9161
9162 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9163 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9164 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9165 omit any duplicate addresses.
9166 [Steve Henson]
9167
9168 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9169 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9170 [Bodo Moeller]
9171
9172 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9173 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9174 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9175 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9176 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9177 [Bodo Moeller]
9178
9179 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9180 software:
9181 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9182 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9183 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9184 Free => OPENSSL_free
9185 [Richard Levitte]
9186
9187 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9188 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9189 [Bodo Moeller]
9190
9191 *) CygWin32 support.
9192 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9193
9194 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9195 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9196 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9197 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9198 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9199 approach.
9200 [Geoff Thorpe]
9201
9202 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9203 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9204 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9205 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9206 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9207 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9208 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9209 [Geoff Thorpe]
9210
9211 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9212 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9213 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9214 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9215 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9216 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9217 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9218 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9219 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9220 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9221 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9222 [Bodo Moeller]
9223
9224 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9225 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9226 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9227 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9228 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9229
9230 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9231 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9232 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9233 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9234 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9235
9236 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9237 ciphers.
9238
9239 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9240 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9241 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9242 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9243
9244 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9245
9246 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9247 of macros.
9248
9249 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9250 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9251 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9252 flags.
9253
9254 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9255 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9256 any installed hardware versions can.
9257 [Steve Henson]
9258
9259 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9260 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9261 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9262 number.
9263 [Bodo Moeller]
9264
9265 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9266 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9267 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9268 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9269 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9270
9271 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9272 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9273 [Steve Henson]
9274
9275 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9276 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9277 [Richard Levitte]
9278
9279 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9280 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9281 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9282 features.
9283 [Steve Henson]
9284
9285 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9286 [Ulf Möller]
9287
9288 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9289 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9290 but no ssl client purpose.
9291 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9292
9293 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9294 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9295 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9296 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9297 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9298 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9299 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9300 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9301 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9302 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9303 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9304 [Steve Henson]
9305
9306 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9307 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9308 be obtained from the error queue.
9309 [Bodo Moeller]
9310
9311 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9312 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9313 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9314 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9315 [Bodo Moeller]
9316
9317 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9318 [Ulf Möller]
9319
9320 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9321 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9322 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9323 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9324 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9325 [Geoff Thorpe]
9326
9327 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9328 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9329 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9330 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9331 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9332 [Geoff Thorpe]
9333
9334 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9335 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9336 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9337 may not be NULL.
9338 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9339
9340 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9341 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9342 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9343 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9344 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9345 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9346 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9347 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9348 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9349 or "the configuration storage API"...
9350
9351 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9352
9353 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9354 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9355
9356 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9357
9358 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9359
9360 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9361 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9362 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9363 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9364 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9365 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9366 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9367
9368 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9369 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9370 [Richard Levitte]
9371
9372 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9373 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9374 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9375 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9376 [Bodo Moeller]
9377
9378 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9379 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9380 them in a portable way.
9381 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9382
9383 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9384
9385 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9386
9387 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9388 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9389
9390 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9391 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9392 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9393 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9394
9395 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9396 was larger than the MD block size.
9397 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9398
9399 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9400 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9401 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9402 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9403 components.
9404 [Steve Henson]
9405
9406 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9407 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9408 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9409
9410 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9411 discouraged.
9412 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9413
9414 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9415 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9416 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9417 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9418 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9419 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9420
9421 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9422 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9423
9424 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9425 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9426 [Bodo Moeller]
9427
9428 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9429 [Bodo Moeller]
9430
9431 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9432 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9433 its own key.
9434 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9435 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9436 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9437 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9438 [Bodo Moeller]
9439
9440 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9441 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9442 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9443 does not suppress any output.
9444 [Richard Levitte]
9445
9446 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9447 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9448 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9449 with all the associated security issues.
9450
9451 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9452 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9453 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9454 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9455 use the value in the default purpose.
9456 [Steve Henson]
9457
9458 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9459 and fix a memory leak.
9460 [Steve Henson]
9461
9462 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9463 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9464 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9465 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9466 [Bodo Moeller]
9467
9468 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9469 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9470 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9471 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9472 [Bodo Moeller]
9473
9474 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9475 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9476 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9477 [Bodo Moeller]
9478
9479 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9480 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9481 [Bodo Moeller]
9482
9483 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9484 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9485 which was free.
9486 [Steve Henson]
9487
9488 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9489 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9490 [Bodo Moeller]
9491
9492 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9493 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9494 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9495 [Bodo Moeller]
9496
9497 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9498 number generation fails.
9499 [Bodo Moeller]
9500
9501 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9502 [Bodo Moeller]
9503
9504 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9505 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9506
9507 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9508 [Ulf Möller]
9509
9510 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9511 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9512
9513 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9514 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9515
9516 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9517
9518 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9519 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9520 [Steve Henson]
9521
9522 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9523 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9524
9525 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9526 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9527 [Ulf Möller]
9528
9529 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9530 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9531 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9532 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9533 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9534 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9535
9536 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9537 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9538 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9539 for example.
9540 [Steve Henson]
9541
9542 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9543 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9544 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9545 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9546 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9547 counter, some don't.)
9548 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9549 counters or duplicate objects.
9550 [Steve Henson]
9551
9552 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9553 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9554 [Steve Henson]
9555
9556 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9557 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9558 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9559
9560 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9561 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9562 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9563 or -rand.
9564 [Ulf Möller]
9565
9566 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9567 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9568 [Steve Henson]
9569
9570 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9571 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9572 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9573 cipher list.
9574 [Steve Henson]
9575
9576 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9577 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9578 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9579 [Steve Henson]
9580
9581 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9582 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9583 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9584 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9585 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9586 should work without changes.
9587 [Richard Levitte]
9588
9589 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9590 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9591 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9592 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9593 must be defined. E.g.,
9594 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9595 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9596 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9597 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9598
9599 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9600 record layer.
9601 [Bodo Moeller]
9602
9603 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9604 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9605 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9606 [Steve Henson]
9607
9608 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9609 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9610 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9611 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9612 [Steve Henson]
9613
9614 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9615 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9616 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9617 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9618 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9619 is prompted for as usual.
9620 [Steve Henson]
9621
9622 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9623 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9624 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9625 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9626
9627 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9628 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9629 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9630 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9631 [Steve Henson]
9632
9633 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9634 [Andy Polyakov]
9635
9636 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9637 of seed file.
9638 [Steve Henson]
9639
9640 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9641 [Bodo Moeller]
9642
9643 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9644 [Steve Henson]
9645
9646 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9647 bits.
9648 [Ulf Möller]
9649
9650 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9651 [Ulf Möller]
9652
9653 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9654 [Andy Polyakov]
9655
9656 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9657 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9658 [Ulf Möller]
9659
9660 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9661 options to produce them.
9662 [Steve Henson]
9663
9664 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9665 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9666 [Ulf Möller]
9667
9668 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9669 for p == 0.
9670 [Ulf Möller]
9671
9672 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9673 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9674 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9675 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9676 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9677 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9678 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9679 [Steve Henson]
9680
9681 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9682 [Steve Henson]
9683
9684 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9685 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9686 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9687 [Bodo Moeller]
9688
9689 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9690 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9691
9692 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9693 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9694 [Ulf Möller]
9695
9696 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9697 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9698 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9699 has already seen).
9700 [Bodo Moeller]
9701
9702 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9703 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9704
9705 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9706 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9707 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9708 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9709 generation becomes much faster.
9710
9711 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9712 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9713 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9714 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9715 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9716 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9717 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9718 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9719 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9720 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9721 [Bodo Moeller]
9722
9723 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9724 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9725 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9726 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9727 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9728 trial division stage.
9729 [Bodo Moeller]
9730
9731 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9732 as ASN1_TIME.
9733 [Steve Henson]
9734
9735 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9736 [Steve Henson]
9737
9738 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9739 [Ulf Möller]
9740
9741 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9742 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9743 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9744 the comments.
9745 [Ulf Möller]
9746
9747 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9748 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9749 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9750 [Bodo Moeller]
9751
9752 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9753 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9754 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9755 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9756
9757 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9758 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9759 [Steve Henson]
9760
9761 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9762 [Ulf Möller]
9763
9764 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9765 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9766 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9767 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9768 [Ulf Möller]
9769
9770 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9771 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9772 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9773 [Ulf Möller]
9774
9775 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9776 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9777 (instead of parameters) in future.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9781 when a new cipher list is set.
9782 [Steve Henson]
9783
9784 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9785 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9786 wrong.
9787
9788 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9789 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9790 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9791
9792 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9793 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9794 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9795 an error is flagged.
9796
9797 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9798 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9799 the readability was also increased :-)
9800 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9801
9802 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9803 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9804 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9805 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9806 as the root CA.
9807 [Steve Henson]
9808
9809 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9810 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9811 [Steve Henson]
9812
9813 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9814 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9815 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9816 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9817 instead.
9818
9819 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9820 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9821 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9822 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9823 because they handle more complex structures.)
9824 [Steve Henson]
9825
9826 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9827 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9828 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9829 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9830
9831 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9832 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9833 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9834 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9835 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9836 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9837 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9838 [Ulf Möller]
9839
9840 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9841 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9842 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9843 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9844 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9845 [Bodo Moeller]
9846
9847 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9848 [Bodo Moeller]
9849
9850 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9851 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9852 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9853 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9854 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9855 to use this.
9856
9857 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9858 code.
9859 [Steve Henson]
9860
9861 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9862 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9863 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9864 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9865 [Steve Henson]
9866
9867 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9868 [Ulf Möller]
9869
9870 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9871 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9872 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9873 international characters are used.
9874
9875 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9876 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9877 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9878 in ASN1 order.
9879 [Steve Henson]
9880
9881 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9882 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9883 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9884 request.
9885
9886 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9887 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9888 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9889 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9890 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9891 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9892
9893 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9894 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9895 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9896 be handled by the string table functions.
9897
9898 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9899 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9900 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9901 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9902 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9903 types at all.
9904 [Steve Henson]
9905
9906 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9907 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9908 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9909 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9910 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9911
9912 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9913 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9914 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9915 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9916 [Bodo Moeller]
9917
9918 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9919 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9920 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9921 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9922 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9923 SHA1.
9924 [Andy Polyakov]
9925
9926 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9927 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9928 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9929 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9930 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9931 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9932 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9933 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9934
9935 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9936 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9937 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9938 [Steve Henson]
9939
9940 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9941 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9942 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9943 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9944 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9945 support to pkcs8 application.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947
9948 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9949 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9950 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9951 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9952 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9953 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9954 [Bodo Moeller]
9955
9956 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9957 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9958 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9959 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9960 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9961 consistency.
9962 [Bodo Moeller]
9963
9964 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9965 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9966 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9967 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9968 example.
9969 [Steve Henson]
9970
9971 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9972 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9973 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9974 and any application specific purposes.
9975
9976 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9977 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9978 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9979 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9980 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9981 if the certificate is self signed.
9982 [Steve Henson]
9983
9984 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9985 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9986 [Steve Henson]
9987
9988 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9989 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9990 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9991 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9992 [Steve Henson]
9993
9994 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9995 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9996 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9997 Update documentation.
9998 [Steve Henson]
9999
10000 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10001 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10002 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10003 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10004 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10005 [Steve Henson]
10006
10007 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10008 for details.
10009 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10010
10011 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10012 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10013 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10014 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10015 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10016 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10017 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10018 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10019 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10020 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10021
10022 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10023
10024 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10025 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10026 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10027 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10028 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10029
10030 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10031 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10032 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10033 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10034 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10035 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10036 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10037 request additional information:
10038 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10039 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10040
10041 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10042 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10043 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10044 options.
10045
10046 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10047 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10048
10049 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10050 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10051 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10052
10053 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10054 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10055
10056 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10057 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10058 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10059 algorithm.
10060 [Steve Henson]
10061
10062 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10063 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10064 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10065
10066 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10067 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10068 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10069 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10070 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10071 included in OpenSSL.
10072 [Steve Henson]
10073
10074 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10075 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10076 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10077 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10078 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10079 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10080 [Bodo Moeller]
10081
10082 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10083 PKCS12 structure.
10084 [Steve Henson]
10085
10086 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10087 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10088 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10089 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10090 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10091 structure.
10092 [Steve Henson]
10093
10094 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10095 need initialising.
10096 [Steve Henson]
10097
10098 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10099 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10100 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10101 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10102 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10103 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10104 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10105 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10106 be maintained manually.
10107
10108 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10109 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10110 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10111 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10112 work because people forget to call this function]
10113 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10114 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10115 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10116 [Steve Henson]
10117
10118 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10119 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10120 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10121 should be discouraged from doing it.
10122 [Ben Laurie]
10123
10124 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10125 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10126 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10127 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10128 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10129 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10130 [Steve Henson]
10131
10132 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10133 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10134 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10135
10136 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10137 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10138 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10139
10140 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10141 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10142 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10143 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10144 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10145 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10146
10147 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10148 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10149 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10150
10151 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10152 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10153 and vice versa.
10154
10155 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10156 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10157 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10158 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10159 [Steve Henson]
10160
10161 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10162 [Steve Henson]
10163
10164 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10165 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10166 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10167 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10168 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10169 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10170 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10171 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10172 keys so we should be OK.
10173
10174 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10175 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10176 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10177 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10178 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10179 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10180 stay in the name of compatibility.
10181
10182 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10183 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10184 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10185
10186 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10187 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10188 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10189 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10190 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10191 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10192 supplied key).
10193 [Steve Henson]
10194
10195 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10196 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10197 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10198 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10199 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10200 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10201 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10202 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10203 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10204 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10205 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10206 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10207 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10208 [Steve Henson]
10209
10210 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10211 [Steve Henson]
10212
10213 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10214 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10215 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10216 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10217 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10218 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10219 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10220 openssl verify ss.pem
10221 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10222 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10223 is OK.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10227 (and add it to external session representation).
10228 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10229 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10230 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10231 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10232 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10233 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10234 security holes.
10235 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10236
10237 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10238 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10239 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10240 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10241
10242 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10243 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10244 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10245 [Steve Henson]
10246
10247 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10248 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10249 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10250 code.
10251 [Steve Henson]
10252
10253 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10254 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10255 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10256
10257 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10258 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10259 certificate auxiliary information.
10260 [Steve Henson]
10261
10262 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10263 the 'enc' command.
10264 [Steve Henson]
10265
10266 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10267 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10268 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10269 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10270 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10271 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10272 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10273 [Richard Levitte]
10274
10275 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10276 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10277 [Steve Henson]
10278
10279 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10280 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10281 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10282 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10283 [Steve Henson]
10284
10285 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10286 [Steve Henson]
10287
10288 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10289 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10290 [Steve Henson]
10291
10292 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10293 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10294 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10295 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10296 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10297 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10298 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10299 using the new 'x509' options.
10300
10301 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10302 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10303 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10304 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10305 for all purposes.
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10309 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10310 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10311 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10312 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10313 [Mark Cox]
10314
10315 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10316 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10317 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10318 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10319 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10320 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10321 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10322 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10323 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10324 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10325 [Steve Henson]
10326
10327 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10328 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10329 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10330 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10331 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10332 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10333 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10334 [Steve Henson]
10335
10336 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10337 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10338 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10339 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10340 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10341 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10342 openssl.cnf for more info.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10346 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10347 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10348 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10349 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10350 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10351 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10352 md should be large enough anyway.
10353 [Bodo Moeller]
10354
10355 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10356 for handling the random seed file.
10357
10358 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10359 ca,
10360 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10361 s_client,
10362 s_server,
10363 x509 (when signing).
10364 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10365 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10366 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10367
10368 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10369 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10370 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10371 that support '-rand'.
10372 [Bodo Moeller]
10373
10374 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10375 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10376 [Bodo Moeller]
10377
10378 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10379 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10380 [Bill Perry]
10381
10382 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10383 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10384 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10385 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10386 is suitable.
10387 [Steve Henson]
10388
10389 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10390 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10391 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10392 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10393 [Steve Henson]
10394
10395 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10396 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10397 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10398 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10399 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10400 print out all the purposes.
10401 [Steve Henson]
10402
10403 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10404 functions.
10405 [Steve Henson]
10406
10407 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10408 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10409 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10410 single function call.
10411 [Steve Henson]
10412
10413 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10414 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10415 [Andy Polyakov]
10416
10417 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10418 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10419 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10420 [Steve Henson]
10421
10422 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10423 when producing the local key id.
10424 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10425
10426 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10427 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10428 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10429 "server.pem".
10430 [Steve Henson]
10431
10432 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10433 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10434 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10435 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10436 [Steve Henson]
10437
10438 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10439 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10440 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10441 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10442
10443 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10444 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10445 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10446 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10447
10448 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10449 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10450 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10451 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10452 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10453 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10454 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10455 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10456 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10457 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10458 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10459 trivial: move one line.
10460 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10461
10462 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10463 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10464 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10465 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10466 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10467 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10468 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10469 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10470 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10471 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10472 with an event loop for example.
10473 [Steve Henson]
10474
10475 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10476 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10477 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10478 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10479 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10480 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10481 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10482 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10483 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10487 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10488 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10489 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10490 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10491 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10495 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10496 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10497 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10498
10499 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10500 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10501 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10502 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10503 key generation.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10507 (still largely untested)
10508 [Bodo Moeller]
10509
10510 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10511 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10512 [Steve Henson]
10513
10514 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10515 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10516 [Steve Henson]
10517
10518 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10519 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10520 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10521 [Bodo Moeller]
10522
10523 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10524 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10525 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10526 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10527 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10528 [Steve Henson]
10529
10530 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10531 [Andy Polyakov]
10532
10533 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10534 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10535 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10536 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10537 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10538 in ca.
10539 [Steve Henson]
10540
10541 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10542 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10543 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10544 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10545 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10546 [Steve Henson]
10547
10548 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10549 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10550 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10551 are otherwise ignored at present.
10552 [Steve Henson]
10553
10554 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10555 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10556 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10557 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10558 copied until the next read.
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10562 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10563 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10564 [Steve Henson]
10565
10566 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10567 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10568 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10569 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10570 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10571 associated functions.
10572 [Steve Henson]
10573
10574 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10575 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10576 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10577 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10578 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10579 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10580 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10581 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10582 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10583 memory BIOs.
10584 [Steve Henson]
10585
10586 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10587 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10588 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10589 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10590 [Bodo Moeller]
10591
10592 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10593 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10594 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10595 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10596 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10597 functionality.
10598 [Steve Henson]
10599
10600 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10601 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10602 under Win32.
10603 [Steve Henson]
10604
10605 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10606 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10607 extensions to be obtained and added.
10608 [Steve Henson]
10609
10610 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10611 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10612 [Bodo Moeller]
10613
10614 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10615
10616 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10618
10619 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10620 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10621
10622 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10623 program.
10624 [Steve Henson]
10625
10626 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10627 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10628 DH parameters contain its length).
10629
10630 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10631 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10632 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10633 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10634 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10635 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10636 utter importance to use
10637 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10638 or
10639 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10640 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10641 attacks may become possible!
10642 [Bodo Moeller]
10643
10644 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10645 [Bodo Moeller]
10646
10647 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10648 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10649 [Steve Henson]
10650
10651 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10652 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10653 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10654 or long name.
10655 [Steve Henson]
10656
10657 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10658 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10659 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10660 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10661 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10662 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10663 private key operations.
10664 [Steve Henson]
10665
10666 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10667 [Andy Polyakov]
10668
10669 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10670 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10671 to
10672 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10673 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10674 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10675 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10676 the password callback is called.
10677 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10678
10679 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10680
10681 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10682 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10683 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10684 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10685 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10686 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10687 this will work.
10688
10689 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10690 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10691 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10692 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10693 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10694 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10695 [Bodo Moeller]
10696
10697 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10698 [Andy Polyakov]
10699
10700 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10701 delete an unused file.
10702 [Ulf Möller]
10703
10704 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10705 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10706 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10707 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10708 [Steve Henson]
10709
10710 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10711 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10712 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10713 of an error.
10714 [Bodo Moeller]
10715
10716 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10717 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10718 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10719
10720 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10721 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10722 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10723 comparison" warnings.
10724 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10725 [Steve Henson]
10726
10727 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10728 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10729 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10730 [Steve Henson]
10731
10732 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10733 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10734
10735 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10736 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10737
10738 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10739 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10740 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10741
10742 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10743 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10744 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10745 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10746 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10747 this bug.
10748 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10749
10750 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10751 The interface is as follows:
10752 Applications can use
10753 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10754 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10755 "off" is now the default.
10756 The library internally uses
10757 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10758 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10759 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10760
10761 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10762 even the default) are now avoided.
10763
10764 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10765 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10766 than just having a counter.
10767
10768 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10769
10770 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10771 extensions.
10772 [Bodo Moeller]
10773
10774 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10775 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10776 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10777 Initial "mode" flags are:
10778
10779 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10780 a single record has been written.
10781 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10782 retries use the same buffer location.
10783 (But all of the contents must be
10784 copied!)
10785 [Bodo Moeller]
10786
10787 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10788 worked.
10789
10790 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10791 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10792
10793 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10794 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10795 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10796 [Steve Henson]
10797
10798 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10799 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10800 test programs.
10801 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10802
10803 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10804 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10805 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10806 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10807 point to the end.
10808 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10809 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10810
10811 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10812 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10813 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10814 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10815 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10816 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10817 [Steve Henson]
10818
10819 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10820 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10821 necessary function names.
10822 [Steve Henson]
10823
10824 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10825 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10826 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10827 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10828 [Bodo Moeller]
10829
10830 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10831 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10832 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10833 [Steve Henson]
10834
10835 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10836 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10837 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10838 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10839 such programs?)
10840 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10841 need locks.
10842 [Bodo Moeller]
10843
10844 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10845 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10846 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10847 [Bodo Moeller]
10848
10849 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10850 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10851 appropriate.
10852 [Bodo Moeller]
10853
10854 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10855 for the encoded length.
10856 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10857
10858 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10859 [Steve Henson]
10860
10861 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10862 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10863 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10864 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10865 [Steve Henson]
10866
10867 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10868 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10870
10871 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10872 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10873 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10874 unusual formatting.
10875 [Steve Henson]
10876
10877 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10878 to use the new extension code.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10882 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10883 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10884 constant.
10885 [Steve Henson]
10886
10887 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10888 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10889 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10890 [Bodo Moeller]
10891
10892 #if 0
10893 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10894 [Ben Laurie]
10895 #else
10896 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10897 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10898 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10899 #endif
10900
10901 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10902 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10903 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10904 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10905 [Ben Laurie]
10906
10907 *) DES library cleanups.
10908 [Ulf Möller]
10909
10910 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10911 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10912 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10913 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10914 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10915 of v2.0.
10916 [Steve Henson]
10917
10918 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10919 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10920 [Bodo Moeller]
10921
10922 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10923 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10924 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10925 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10926 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10927 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10928 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10929 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10930 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10931 [Steve Henson]
10932
10933 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10934 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10935 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10936 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10937 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10938 value doesn't matter.
10939 [Steve Henson]
10940
10941 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10942 support mutable.
10943 [Ben Laurie]
10944
10945 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10946 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10947 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10948 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10949
10950 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10951 [Ulf Möller]
10952
10953 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10954 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10955 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10956
10957 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10958 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10959
10960 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10961 [Ben Laurie]
10962
10963 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10964 [Ben Laurie]
10965
10966 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10967 [Ben Laurie]
10968
10969 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10970 [Bodo Moeller]
10971
10972
10973 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10974
10975 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10976
10977 *) Updated some demos.
10978 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10979
10980 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10981 [Wu Zhigang]
10982
10983 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10984 [Steve Henson]
10985
10986 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10987 [Steve Henson]
10988
10989 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10990 instead of using a fixed path.
10991 [Bodo Moeller]
10992
10993 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10994 [Andy Polyakov]
10995
10996 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10997 [Richard Levitte]
10998
10999
11000 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11001
11002 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11003 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11004 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11005
11006 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11007 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11008 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11009 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11010 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11011 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11012 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11013 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11014 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11015 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11016 [Steve Henson]
11017
11018 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11019 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11020 [Steve Henson]
11021
11022 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11023 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11024 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11025 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11026 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11027
11028 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11029 [Bodo Moeller]
11030
11031 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11032 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11033 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11034 [Steve Henson]
11035
11036 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11037 [Ben Laurie]
11038
11039 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11040 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11041 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11042 key elements as negative integers.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11046 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11047
11048 *) VMS support.
11049 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11050
11051 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11052 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11053 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11054 [Steve Henson]
11055
11056 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11057 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11058 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11059 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11060 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11061 [Bodo Moeller]
11062
11063 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11064 [Ulf Möller]
11065
11066 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11067 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11068 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11070
11071 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11072 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11073 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11074
11075 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11076 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11077 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11078 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11079 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11080 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11081 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11082 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11083 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11084
11085 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11086 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11087 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11088 does not influence s as it used to.
11089
11090 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11091 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11092 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11093 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11094 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11095 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11096 [Bodo Moeller]
11097
11098 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11099 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11100 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11101 key type.
11102 [Steve Henson]
11103
11104 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11105 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11106 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11107 and 'x509').
11108 [Steve Henson]
11109
11110 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11111 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11112 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11113 extension option.
11114 [Steve Henson]
11115
11116 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11117 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11118 [Ben Laurie]
11119
11120 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11121 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11122
11123 *) Support Mingw32.
11124 [Ulf Möller]
11125
11126 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11127 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11128
11129 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11130 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11131
11132 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11133 [Ulf Möller]
11134
11135 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11136 [Anonymous]
11137
11138 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11140
11141 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11142 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11143 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11144 DER-encoded.)
11145 [Bodo Moeller]
11146
11147 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11148 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11149 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11150 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11151 now it really counts the depth.
11152 [Bodo Moeller]
11153
11154 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11155 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11156 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11157 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11158 didn't match the private key).
11159
11160 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11161 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11162 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11163 [Bodo Moeller]
11164
11165 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11166 [Ulf Möller]
11167
11168 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11169 David Harris.
11170 [Bodo Moeller]
11171
11172 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11173 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11174 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11175 [Bodo Moeller]
11176
11177 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11178 [Bodo Moeller]
11179
11180 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11181 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11182 such as /usr/local/bin.
11183 [Bodo Moeller]
11184
11185 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11186 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11187
11188 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11189 [Ulf Möller]
11190
11191 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11192 extension adding in x509 utility.
11193 [Steve Henson]
11194
11195 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11196 [Ulf Möller]
11197
11198 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11199 prototypes.
11200 [Steve Henson]
11201
11202 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11203 [Ulf Möller]
11204
11205 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11206 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11207 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11208 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11209 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11210 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11211 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11212 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11213 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11214 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11215 [Steve Henson]
11216
11217 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11218 [Bodo Moeller]
11219
11220 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11221 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11222 [Bodo Moeller]
11223
11224 *) Fix some race conditions.
11225 [Bodo Moeller]
11226
11227 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11228 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11229 [Steve Henson]
11230
11231 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11232 [Ulf Möller]
11233
11234 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11235 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11236 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11237 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11238
11239 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11240 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11241
11242 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11243 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11244 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11245
11246 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11247 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11248
11249 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11250 [Ulf Möller]
11251
11252 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11253 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11254
11255 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11256 [Ulf Möller]
11257
11258 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11259 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11260
11261 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11262 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11263 [Steve Henson]
11264
11265 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11266 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11267 [Ben Laurie]
11268
11269 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11270 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11271 [Steve Henson]
11272
11273 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11274 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11278 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11279 [Steve Henson]
11280
11281 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11282 support typesafe stack.
11283 [Steve Henson]
11284
11285 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11286 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11287
11288 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11289 old X509V3 handling code.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11293 [Ulf Möller]
11294
11295 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11296 [Bodo Moeller]
11297
11298 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11299 [Ben Laurie]
11300
11301 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11302 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11303
11304 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11305 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11306 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11307 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11308 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11309 [Ben Laurie]
11310
11311 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11312 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11313 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11314 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11315 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11316
11317 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11318 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11319 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11320 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11321
11322 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11323 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11324 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11326
11327 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11328 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11329 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11330 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11331 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11332 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11333 [Bodo Moeller]
11334
11335 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11336 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11337 [Bodo Moeller]
11338
11339 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11340 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11341 [Ulf Möller]
11342
11343 *) Tweaks to Configure
11344 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11345
11346 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11347 yet...
11348 [Steve Henson]
11349
11350 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11351 [Ulf Möller]
11352
11353 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11354 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11355 [Ulf Möller]
11356
11357 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11358 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11359 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11360 [Bodo Moeller]
11361
11362 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11363 [Bodo Moeller]
11364
11365 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11366 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11367 [Steve Henson]
11368
11369 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11370 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11371 to library startup routines.
11372 [Steve Henson]
11373
11374 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11375 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11376 codes along the way.
11377 [Steve Henson]
11378
11379 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11380 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11381 objects to objects.h
11382 [Steve Henson]
11383
11384 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11385 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11389 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11390
11391 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11392 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11393 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11394
11395 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11396 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11397 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11398
11399 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11400 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11401 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11402
11403
11404 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11405
11406 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11407 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11408 [Ben Laurie]
11409
11410 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11411 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11412 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11413 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11414 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11415
11416 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11417 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11418 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11419 document.
11420 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11421
11422 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11423 Malloc, Free.
11424 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11425
11426 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11427 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11428
11429 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11430 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11431 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11432 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11433
11434 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11435 [Ben Laurie]
11436
11437 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11438 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11439 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11440 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11441 [Steve Henson]
11442
11443 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11444 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11445 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11446 [Steve Henson]
11447
11448 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11449 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11450 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11451 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11452 installed as `perl').
11453 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11454
11455 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11456 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11457
11458 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11459 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11460 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11461 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11462 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11463 [Steve Henson]
11464
11465 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11466 [Ben Laurie]
11467
11468 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11469 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11470 is horrible: I feel ill....
11471 [Steve Henson]
11472
11473 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11474 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11475 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11476 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11477 [Steve Henson]
11478
11479 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11480 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11481
11482 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11483 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11484 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11485 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11486
11487 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11488 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11489 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11490 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11491 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11492 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11493 openssl_bio.xs.
11494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11495
11496 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11497 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11498
11499 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11500 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11501
11502 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11503 [Ben Laurie]
11504
11505 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11506 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11507 in CRLs.
11508 [Steve Henson]
11509
11510 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11511 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11512 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11513 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11514 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11515 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11516 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11517 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11518 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11519 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11521
11522 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11523 [Ben Laurie]
11524
11525 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11526 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11527 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11528 for linking it into DSOs.
11529 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11530
11531 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11532 Fixed.
11533 [Ben Laurie]
11534
11535 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11536 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11537 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11538 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11539 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11541
11542 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11543 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11544 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11545 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11546 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11547 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11549
11550 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11551 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11552 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11553 encryption.
11554 [Ben Laurie]
11555
11556 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11557 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11558 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11559 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11560 [Steve Henson]
11561
11562 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11563 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11564 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11565 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11566 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11567 field as blank.
11568 [Steve Henson]
11569
11570 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11571 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11572 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11573 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11575
11576 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11577 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11578 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11579
11580 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11581 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11582
11583 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11584 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11585 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11586 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11587 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11588 [Steve Henson]
11589
11590 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11591 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11592 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11593 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11594 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11595 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11596 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11597 [Ben Laurie]
11598
11599 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11600 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11601 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11602 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11603 [Ben Laurie]
11604
11605 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11606 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11607
11608 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11609 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11610 [Steve Henson]
11611
11612 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11613 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11614 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11615 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11616 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11617 (e.g. s_server).
11618 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11619 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11620 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11621 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11622 no way to reconfigure them.
11623 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11624 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11625 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11626 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11627 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11629
11630 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11631 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11632 recognized by the users.
11633 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11634
11635 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11636 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11637 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11638 already masked variable.
11639 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11640
11641 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11642 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11643
11644 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11645 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11646 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11647 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11648
11649 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11650 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11651 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11652
11653 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11654 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11655 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11656 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11657 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11658 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11659 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11660 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11661 now, too.
11662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11663
11664 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11665 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11666 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11667
11668 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11669 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11670 config file.
11671 [Steve Henson]
11672
11673 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11674 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11675
11676 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11677 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11678 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11679 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11680 [Ben Laurie]
11681
11682 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11683 [Steve Henson]
11684
11685 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11686 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11687
11688 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11689 [Ben Laurie]
11690
11691 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11692 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11693 [Steve Henson]
11694
11695 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11696 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11697 [Steve Henson]
11698
11699 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11700 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11701 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11702 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11703 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11704 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11705 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11706 Ben Laurie]
11707
11708 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11709 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11710
11711 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11712 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11713 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11714 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11715 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11716
11717 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11718 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11719 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11720 [Steve Henson]
11721
11722 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11723 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11724 an example.
11725 [Steve Henson]
11726
11727 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11728 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11729 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11730
11731 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11732 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11733 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11734 build instructions.
11735 [Steve Henson]
11736
11737 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11738 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11739 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11740 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11741 [Steve Henson]
11742
11743 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11744 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11745 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11746 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11747 [Ben Laurie]
11748
11749 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11750 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11751 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11752 so it wasn't spotted.
11753 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11754
11755 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11756 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11757 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11758 vectors if you have them.
11759 [Ben Laurie]
11760
11761 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11762 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11763 [Ben Laurie]
11764
11765 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11766 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11767 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11768 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11769 If you do a:
11770 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11771 it will update them.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11775 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11776 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11777 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11778 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11779 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11780 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11781 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11782
11783 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11784 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11785 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11786 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11787 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11788 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11789 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11790 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11791 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11792 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11793
11794 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11795 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11796 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11797 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11798 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11799 [Steve Henson]
11800
11801 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11802 INTEGER code.
11803 [Steve Henson]
11804
11805 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11806 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11807
11808 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11809 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11810
11811 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11812 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11813 [Ben Laurie]
11814
11815 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11816 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11817
11818 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11819 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11820
11821 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11822 [Steve Henson]
11823
11824 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11825 few typos.
11826 [Steve Henson]
11827
11828 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11829 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11830 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11831 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11832
11833 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11834 [Steve Henson]
11835
11836 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11837 [Steve Henson]
11838
11839 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11840 [Steve Henson]
11841
11842 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11843 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11844 [Steve Henson]
11845
11846 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11847 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11848 CA extensions.
11849 [Steve Henson]
11850
11851 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11852 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11853 [Steve Henson]
11854
11855 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11856 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11857 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11861 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11862 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11863 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11864 properly to be processed.
11865 [Steve Henson]
11866
11867 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11868 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11869 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11870 [Ben Laurie]
11871
11872 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11873 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11874
11875 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11876 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11877 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11878 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11879 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11880 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11881 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11882 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11883 or delete all the .err files.
11884 [Steve Henson]
11885
11886 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11887 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11888 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11889 to regenerate it if needed.
11890 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11891 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11892
11893 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11894 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11895
11896 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11897 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11898 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11899 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11900 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11901 [Steve Henson]
11902
11903 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11904 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11905
11906 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11907 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11908
11909 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11910 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11911 error, but didn't set one).
11912 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11913
11914 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11915 [Ben Laurie]
11916
11917 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11918 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11919 [Steve Henson]
11920
11921 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11922 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11923
11924 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11925 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11926 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11927 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11928 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11929 OID is not part of the table.
11930 [Steve Henson]
11931
11932 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11933 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11934 [Ben Laurie]
11935
11936 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11937 [Ben Laurie]
11938
11939 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11940 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11941 was "1234").
11942 [Steve Henson]
11943
11944 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11945 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11946
11947 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11948 NULL pointers.
11949 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11950
11951 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11952 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11953
11954 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11955 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11956
11957 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11958 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11959
11960 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11961 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11962 [Ben Laurie]
11963
11964 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11965 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11966 [Steve Henson]
11967
11968 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11969 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11970
11971 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11972 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11973
11974 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11975 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11976
11977 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11978 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11979
11980 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11981 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11982 unused in the certificate verification process.
11983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11984
11985 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11986 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11987 [Steve Henson]
11988
11989 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11990 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11991 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11992
11993 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11994 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11995 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11996 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11997 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11998
11999 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12000 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12001 [Steve Henson]
12002
12003 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12004 [Steve Henson]
12005
12006 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12007 [Paul Sutton]
12008
12009 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12010 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12011
12012 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12013 [Ben Laurie]
12014
12015 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12016 [Ben Laurie]
12017
12018 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12019 [Ben Laurie]
12020
12021 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12022 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12023 other error libraries.
12024 [Steve Henson]
12025
12026 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12030 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12031 be read in.
12032 [Steve Henson]
12033
12034 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12035 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12036 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12037 the new set of documentation files.
12038 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12039
12040 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12041 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12042 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12043 number of arguments.
12044 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12045
12046 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12047 [Ben Laurie]
12048
12049 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12050 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12051 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12052
12053 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12054 [Ben Laurie]
12055
12056 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12057 nextstep
12058 ncr-scde
12059 unixware-2.0
12060 unixware-2.0-pentium
12061 sco5-cc.
12062 [Ben Laurie]
12063
12064 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12065 before they are needed.
12066 [Ben Laurie]
12067
12068 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12069 [Ben Laurie]
12070
12071
12072 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12073
12074 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12075 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12077
12078 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12079 [Paul Sutton]
12080
12081 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12082 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12084
12085 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12086 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12087 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12088
12089 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12090 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12091 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12092
12093 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12094 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12095
12096 *) Updated the README file.
12097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12098
12099 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12100 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12102
12103 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12104 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12106
12107 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12108 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12109 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12110 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12111 o removed obsolete TODO file
12112 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12113 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12114
12115 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12116 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12117 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12118 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12119 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12120 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12122
12123 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12124 [Mark J. Cox]
12125
12126 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12127 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12128 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12129 summer 1998.
12130 [The OpenSSL Project]

12137
12138 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12139 [Eric A. Young]
12140
12141 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12142 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12143 [Eric A. Young]
12144
12145 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12146 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12147 available).
12148 [Eric A. Young]
12149
12150 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12151 binary structures
12152 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12153
12154 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12155 [Eric A. Young]
12156
12157 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12158 [Eric A. Young]
12159
12160 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12161 [Eric A. Young]
12162
12163 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12164 [Eric A. Young]
12165
12166 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.

12174
12175 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12176 [Eric A. Young]
12177
12178 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12179 [Eric A. Young]
12180
12181 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12182 [Eric A. Young]
12183
12184 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12185 [Eric A. Young]
12186
12187 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12188 [Eric A. Young]
12189
12190 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12191 [Eric A. Young]
12192
12193 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12194 [Eric A. Young]
12195
12196 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12197 [Eric A. Young]
12198
12199 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12200 [Eric A. Young]
12201
12202 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12203 [Eric A. Young]
12204
12205 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12206 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12207 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12208 [Eric A. Young]
12209
12210 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12211 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12212 [Eric A. Young]
12213
12214 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12215 [Eric A. Young]
