4
5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
8
9 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
10 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
11 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
12 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
13 name and is used as is.
14 [Richard Levitte]
15
16 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
17 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
18 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
19 [Rich Salz]
20
21 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
22 the "no-shared" Configure option.
23 [Matt Caswell]
24
25 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
26 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
27 algorithms.
28 [Matt Caswell]
29
30 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
31 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
32 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
33 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
34 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
35 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
36 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
37 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
38 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
39 [Matt Caswell]
40
41 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
42 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
43 enabled with '--debug' builds.
44 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
45
46 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
47 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
48 these have been added.
49 [Matt Caswell]
50
51 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
52 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
53 functions for managing these have been added.
54 [Richard Levitte]
55
56 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
57 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
58 these have been added.
59 [Matt Caswell]
60
61 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
62 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
63 have been added.
64 [Matt Caswell]
65
66 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
67 [Matt Caswell]
68
69 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
70 [Richard Levitte]
71
72 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
73 it is always safe to #include a header now.
74 [Rich Salz]
75
76 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
77 [Richard Levitte]
78
79 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
80 [Rich Salz]
81
82 *) Add support for HKDF.
83 [Alessandro Ghedini]
84
85 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
86 [Bill Cox]
87
88 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
89 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
90 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
91 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
92 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
93 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
94 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
95 [Matt Caswell]
96
97 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
98 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
99 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
100 [Catriona Lucey]
101
102 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
103 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
104 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
105 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
106 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
107 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
108 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
109
110 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
111 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
112 [Todd Short]
113
114 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
115 [Todd Short]
116
117 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
118 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
119 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
120 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
121 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
122 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
123 default cipherlist.
124 [Emilia Käsper]
125
126 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
127 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
128 [Rich Salz]
129
130 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
131 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
132 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
133 [Matt Caswell]
134
135 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
136 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
137 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
138 implemented by other servers.
139 [Emilia Käsper]
140
141 *) Add X25519 support.
142 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
143 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
144 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
145 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
146 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
147 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
148 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
149 and uses X25519(29).
150
151 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
152 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
153 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
154 are NOT supported.
155 [Steve Henson]
156
157 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
158 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
159 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
160 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
161 seed, even if the seed is configured.
162
163 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
164 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
165 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
166 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
167 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
168 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
169 that of a valid user.
170 [Emilia Käsper]
171
172 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
173 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
174 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
175 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
176
177 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
178 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
179
180 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
181 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
182 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
183 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
184
185 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
186 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
187 irrelevant.
188 [Richard Levitte]
189
190 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
191 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
192 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
193 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
194 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
195 of how OpenSSL was configured.
196
197 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
198 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
199 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
200 [Richard Levitte]
201
202 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
203 [Rich Salz]
204
205 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
206 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
207 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
208 removed.
209 [Richard Levitte]
210
211 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
212 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
213 old #define's might need to be updated.
214 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
215
216 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
217 [Rich Salz]
218
219 *) New "unified" build system
220
221 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
222 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
223
224 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
225 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
226 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
227
228 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
229 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
230 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
231 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
232 descrip.mms.tmpl.
233
234 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
235 [Richard Levitte]
236
237 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
238 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
239 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
240 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
241 [Matt Caswell]
242
243 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
244 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
245
246 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
247 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
248 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
249 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
250 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
251 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
252 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
253 have been adapted accordingly.
254 [Richard Levitte]
255
256 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
257 the leading 0-byte.
258 [Emilia Käsper]
259
260 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
261 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
262 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
263 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
264 [Emilia Käsper]
265
266 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
267 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
268 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
269 'unsigned char*'.
270 [Emilia Käsper]
271
272 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
273 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
274 [Emilia Käsper]
275
276 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
277 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
278 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
279 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
280 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
281 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
282 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
283
284 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
285 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
286
287 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
288 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
289 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
290 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
291 Text::Template.
292
293 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
294 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
295 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
296 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
297 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
298 %target).
299 [Richard Levitte]
300
301 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
302 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
303 straightforward and less interdependent.
304
305 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
306 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
307 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
308
309 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
310 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
311 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
312 installed.
313 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
314 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
315 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
316 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
317
318 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
319 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
320 [Richard Levitte]
321
322 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
323 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
324 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
325 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
326 is present).
327 [Matt Caswell]
328
329 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
330 configuring.
331 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
332
333 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
334 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
335 before trying to build now.*
336 [Rich Salz]
337
338 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
339 has changed.
340 [Rich Salz]
341
342 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
343
344 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
345 the application's responsibility. The application provides
346 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
347 used to authenticate the peer.
348
349 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
350 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
351 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
352 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
353 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
354 [Viktor Dukhovni]
355
356 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
357 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
358 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
359 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
360 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
361 or the 1.1.0 releases.
362
363 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
364 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
365 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
366 support for the deprecated features from the library and
367 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
368 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
369 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
370 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
371 version.
372
373 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
374 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
375 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
376 compile with later releases.
377
378 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
379 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
380 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
381 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
382 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
383 [Viktor Dukhovni]
384
385 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
386 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
387 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
388 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
389 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
390 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
391 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
392 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
393 [Kurt Roeckx]
394
395 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
396 [Andy Polyakov]
397
398 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
399 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
400 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
401 ECDSA_SIG format.
402
403 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
404 include the ec.h header file instead.
405 [Steve Henson]
406
407 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
408 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
409 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
410 [Kurt Roeckx]
411
412 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
413 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
414 were added:
415
416 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
417 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
418
419 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
420 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
421 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
422
423 Additional changes:
424 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
425 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
426 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
427 an already created structure.
428 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
429 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
430 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
431 for deprecated builds.
432 [Richard Levitte]
433
434 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
435 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
436 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
437 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
438 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
439 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
440 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
441 [Matt Caswell]
442
443 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
444 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
445 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
446 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
447 [Kurt Roeckx]
448
449 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
450 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
451 [Kurt Roeckx]
452
453 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
454 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
455 [Kurt Roeckx]
456
457 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
458 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
459 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
460 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
461 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
462 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
463 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
464 also been removed.
465 [Matt Caswell]
466
467 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
468 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
469 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
470 [Rich Salz]
471
472 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
473 [Rich Salz]
474
475 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
476 sureware and ubsec.
477 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
478
479 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
480
481 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
482 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
483
484 FOO *x;
485
486 it must be:
487
488 FOO x;
489
490 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
491 set a mandatory field to NULL.
492
493 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
494 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
495 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
496 SEQUENCE OF.
497 [Steve Henson]
498
499 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
500 [Emilia Käsper]
501
502 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
503 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
504 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
505 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
506 [Matt Caswell]
507
508 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
509 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
510 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
511 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
512 [Emilia Käsper]
513
514 *) Fix no-stdio build.
515 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
516 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
517
518 *) New testing framework
519 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
520 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
521 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
522 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
523 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
524 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
525

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

1000 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1001
1002 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1003
1004 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1005 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1006 AES-NI.
1007
1008 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1009 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1010 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1011 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1012 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1013 bytes.
1014
1015 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1016 (CVE-2016-2107)
1017 [Kurt Roeckx]
1018
1019 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1020
1021 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1022 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1023 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1024 corruption.
1025
1026 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1027 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1028 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1029 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1030 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1031 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1032
1033 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1034 (CVE-2016-2105)
1035 [Matt Caswell]
1036
1037 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1038
1039 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1040 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1041 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1042 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1043 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1044 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1045 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1046 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1047 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1048 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1049 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1050 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1051 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1052 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1053 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1054 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1058 [Matt Caswell]
1059
1060 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1061
1062 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1063 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1064 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1065
1066 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1067 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1068 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1069 applications are not affected.

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

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

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

1206 [Matt Caswell]
1207
1208 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1209
1210 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1211 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1212 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1213 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1214 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1215
1216 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1217 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

1226 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1228
1229 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1230 *) DH small subgroups
1231
1232 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1233 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1234 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1235 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1236 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1237 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1238 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1239 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1240 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1241 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1242
1243 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1244 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1245 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1246 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1247 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1248
1249 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1250 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1251 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1252 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1253
1254 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1255 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1256

1260
1261 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1262
1263 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1264 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1265 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1266 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1274
1275 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1276
1277 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1278 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1279 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1280 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1281 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1282 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1283 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1284 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1285 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1286 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1287 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1288 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1295
1296 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1297 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1298 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1299 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1300 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1301 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1302 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1333 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1334
1335 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1336 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1337 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1338 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1339 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1340 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1356
1357 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1358 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1359 field.
1360
1361 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1362 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1363 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1364 client authentication enabled.

1371
1372 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1373 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1374 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1375 time string.
1376
1377 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1378 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1379 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1380 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1381 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1382 callbacks.

1437 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1438
1439 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1440
1441 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1442 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1443 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1444 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1445 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1446 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1447 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1448 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1449
1450 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1451 (CVE-2015-0290)
1452 [Matt Caswell]
1453
1454 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1455
1456 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1457 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1458 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1459 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1460 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1461 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1462 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1463 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1464 server.

1471
1472 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1473 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1474 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1475 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1476 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1477 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1482
1483 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1484 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1485 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1486 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

1496
1497 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1498 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1499 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1500
1501 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY

1513
1514 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

1525 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1526 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1527
1528 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1529 (OpenSSL development team).
1530 (CVE-2015-0293)
1531 [Emilia Käsper]
1532
1533 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1534
1535 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1536 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1537 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1538 (CVE-2015-1787)
1539 [Matt Caswell]
1540
1541 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1542
1543 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1544 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1545 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1546 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1547 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1548 SSL_client_methodv23)
1549 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1550 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1551
1552 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1553 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1554 output may be predictable.
1555
1556 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1557 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1558
1559 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1560 (CVE-2015-0285)
1561 [Matt Caswell]
1562
1563 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1564
1565 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1566 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1567 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1568 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1569 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1570 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1571
1572 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1573 commit 517073cd4b.
1574 (CVE-2015-0209)
1575 [Matt Caswell]
1576
1577 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1578
1579 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1580 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1581
1582 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1583 (CVE-2015-0288)
1584 [Stephen Henson]
1585
1586 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1587 [Kurt Roeckx]
1588
1589 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1590
1591 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1592 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1593 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1594 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1595 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1596 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1597 [Andy Polyakov]
1598
1599 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1600 (other platforms pending).
1601 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1602
1603 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1604 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1605 [Rob Stradling]
1606
1607 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1608 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1609 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1610 [Bodo Moeller]
1611
1612 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1613 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1614 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1615 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1616 [Andy Polyakov]
1617
1618 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1619 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1620
1621 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1622 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1623 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1624 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1625 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1626
1627 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1628 [Andy Polyakov]
1629
1630 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1631 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1632 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1633 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1634
1635 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1636 RSAZ.
1637 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1638
1639 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1640 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1641 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1642 for TLS encrypt.
1643
1644 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1645 [Andy Polyakov]
1646
1647 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1648 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1649 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1650 [Steve Henson]
1651
1652 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1653 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1654 [Steve Henson]
1655
1656 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1657 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1658 [Steve Henson]
1659
1660 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1661 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1662 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1663 algorithms and include tests cases.
1664 [Steve Henson]
1665
1666 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1667 structure.
1668 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1669
1670 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1671 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1675 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1676 summary of the connection parameters.
1677 [Steve Henson]
1678
1679 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1680 of connection parameters.
1681 [Steve Henson]
1682
1683 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1684 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1685
1686 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1687 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1688 [Steve Henson]
1689
1690 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1691 [Steve Henson]
1692
1693 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1694 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1698 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1699 [Steve Henson]
1700
1701 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1702 certificates.
1703 [Steve Henson]
1704
1705 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1706 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1707 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1708 [Steve Henson]
1709
1710 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1711 [Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1714 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1715 [Steve Henson]
1716
1717 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1718 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1719 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1720 tracing.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1724 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1725 [Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1728 OID NID.
1729 [Steve Henson]
1730
1731 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1732 client to OpenSSL.
1733 [Steve Henson]
1734
1735 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1736 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1737 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1738 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1739 [Steve Henson]
1740
1741 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1742 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1743 [Steve Henson]
1744
1745 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1746 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1747 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1748 comparison.
1749 [Steve Henson]
1750
1751 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1752 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1753 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1754 use the certificate.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1761 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1762 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1763 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1764 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1765 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1766 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1767
1768 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1769 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1770
1771 [Steve Henson]
1772
1773 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1774 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1775 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1776 [Steve Henson]
1777
1778 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1779 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1780 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1781 supported signature algorithms.
1782 [Steve Henson]
1783
1784 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1785 [Steve Henson]
1786
1787 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1788 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1789 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1790 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1791 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1792 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1793 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1794 [Steve Henson]
1795
1796 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1797 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1798 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1799 to have similar checks in it.
1800
1801 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1802 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1803 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1804 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1805 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1806 [Steve Henson]
1807
1808 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1809 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1810 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1811 shared signature algorithms.
1812 [Steve Henson]
1813
1814 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1815 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1816 to support them.
1817 [Steve Henson]
1818
1819 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1820 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1821 it couldn't be removed.
1822 [Steve Henson]
1823
1824 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1825 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1826 [Steve Henson]
1827
1828 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1829 functions. Add manual page.
1830 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1831
1832 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1833 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1834 a certificate.
1835 [Steve Henson]
1836
1837 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1838 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1839
1840 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1841 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1842 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1843 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1844 utility) or reject.
1845 [Steve Henson]
1846
1847 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1848 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1849 [Steve Henson]
1850
1851 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1852 platform support for Linux and Android.
1853 [Andy Polyakov]
1854
1855 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1856 [Andy Polyakov]
1857
1858 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1859 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1860 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1861 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1862 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1863 [Steve Henson]
1864
1865 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1866 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1867 the new parameter format automatically.
1868 [Steve Henson]
1869
1870 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1871 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1872 [Steve Henson]
1873
1874 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1875 [Steve Henson]
1876
1877 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1878 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1879 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1880 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1881 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1885 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1886 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1887 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1888 to set list of supported curves.
1889 [Steve Henson]
1890
1891 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1892 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1893 to print out received values.
1894 [Steve Henson]
1895
1896 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1897 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1898 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1899 [Steve Henson]
1900
1901 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1902 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1903 [Steve Henson]
1904
1905 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1906 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1907 [Steve Henson]
1908
1909 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1910 certificates.
1911 [Steve Henson]
1912
1913 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1914 the certificate.
1915 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1916 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1917 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1918
1919 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1920
1921 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1922 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1923
1924 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1925
1926 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1927 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1928 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1929 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1930 (CVE-2014-3571)
1931 [Steve Henson]
1932
1933 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1934 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1935 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1936 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1937 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1938 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1939 (CVE-2015-0206)
1940 [Matt Caswell]
1941
1942 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1943 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1944 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1945 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1946 (CVE-2014-3569)
1947 [Kurt Roeckx]
1948
1949 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1950 ECDH ciphersuites.
1951
1952 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1953 reporting this issue.
1954 (CVE-2014-3572)
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1958 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1959 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1960 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1961 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1962 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1963 (CVE-2015-0204)
1964 [Steve Henson]
1965
1966 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1967 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1968 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1969 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1970 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1971 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1972 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1973 this issue.
1974 (CVE-2015-0205)
1975 [Steve Henson]
1976
1977 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1978 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1979
1980 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1981 and can vary with the CTX.
1982 [Adam Langley]
1983
1984 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1985
1986 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1987 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1988 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1989 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1990 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1991
1992 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1993
1994 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1995 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1996
1997 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1998
1999 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2000 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2001 errors for some broken certificates.
2002
2003 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2004
2005 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2006
2007 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2008 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2009
2010 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2011 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2012 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2013 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2014
2015 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2016 of the OpenSSL core team.
2017
2018 (CVE-2014-8275)
2019 [Steve Henson]
2020
2021 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2022 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2023 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2024 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2025 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2026 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2027 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2028 the OpenSSL core team.
2029 (CVE-2014-3570)
2030 [Andy Polyakov]
2031
2032 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2033 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2034 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2035 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2036 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2037
2038 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2039 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2040 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2041 [Emilia Käsper]
2042
2043 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2044 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2045 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2046 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2047 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2048
2049 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2050 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2051 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2052 [Emilia Käsper]
2053
2054 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2055
2056 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2057
2058 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2059 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2060 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2061 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2062 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2063 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2064 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2065
2066 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2067 (CVE-2014-3513)
2068 [OpenSSL team]
2069
2070 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2071
2072 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2073 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2074 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2075 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2076 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2077 attack.
2078 (CVE-2014-3567)
2079 [Steve Henson]
2080
2081 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2082
2083 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2084 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2085 configured to send them.
2086 (CVE-2014-3568)
2087 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2088
2089 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2090 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2091 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2092 (CVE-2014-3566)
2093 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2094
2095 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2096
2097 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2098 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2099 DigestInfo structures.
2100
2101 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2102
2103 [Steve Henson]
2104
2105 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2106
2107 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2108 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2109 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2110
2111 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2112 Group for discovering this issue.
2113 (CVE-2014-3512)
2114 [Steve Henson]
2115
2116 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2117 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2118 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2119 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2120 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2121
2122 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2123 researching this issue.
2124 (CVE-2014-3511)
2125 [David Benjamin]
2126
2127 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2128 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2129 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2130 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2131
2132 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2133 issue.
2134 (CVE-2014-3510)
2135 [Emilia Käsper]
2136
2137 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2138 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2139 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2140 (CVE-2014-3507)
2141 [Adam Langley]
2142
2143 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2144 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2145 Denial of Service attack.
2146 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2147 (CVE-2014-3506)
2148 [Adam Langley]
2149
2150 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2151 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2152 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2153 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2154 this issue.
2155 (CVE-2014-3505)
2156 [Adam Langley]
2157
2158 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2159 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2160 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2161
2162 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2163 issue.
2164 (CVE-2014-3509)
2165 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2166
2167 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2168 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2169 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2170 Denial of Service attack.
2171
2172 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2173 discovering and researching this issue.
2174 (CVE-2014-5139)
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2178 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2179 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2180 output to the attacker.
2181
2182 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2183 (CVE-2014-3508)
2184 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2185
2186 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2187 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2188 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2189 [Bodo Moeller]
2190
2191 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2192
2193 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2194 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2195 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2196
2197 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2198 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2199 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2202 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2203 in a DoS attack.
2204
2205 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2206 (CVE-2014-0221)
2207 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2208
2209 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2210 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2211 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2212 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2213
2214 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2215 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2218 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2219
2220 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2221 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2222 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2223
2224 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2225 compilation flags.
2226 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2227
2228 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2229 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2230 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2231
2232 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2233 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2234
2235 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2236
2237 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2238 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2239 server.
2240
2241 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2242 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2243 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2244 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2245
2246 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2247 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2248 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2249 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2250
2251 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2252 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2253 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2254
2255 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2256
2257 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2258 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2259 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2260 is at least 512 bytes long.
2261
2262 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2263
2264 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2265
2266 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2267 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2268 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2269 (CVE-2013-4353)
2270
2271 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2272 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2273 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2277 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2278 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2279 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2280 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2281 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2282 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2283
2284 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2285
2286 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2287 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2288 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2289
2290 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2291
2292 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2293
2294 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2295 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2296 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2297
2298 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2299 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2300 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2301 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2302 (CVE-2013-0169)
2303 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2306 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2307 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2308 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2309 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2310 (CVE-2012-2686)
2311 [Adam Langley]
2312
2313 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2314 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2315 [Steve Henson]
2316
2317 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2318 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2319
2320 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2321 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2322 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2323 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2324 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2325
2326 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2330 if renegotiating.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2334
2335 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2336 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2337
2338 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2339 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2340 (CVE-2012-2333)
2341 [Steve Henson]
2342
2343 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2344 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2348 approved.
2349 [Steve Henson]
2350
2351 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2352
2353 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2354 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2355 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2356 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2357 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2358 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2359 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2360 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2361 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2362 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2366 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2367 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2368 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2369 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2370 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2371 client side.
2372 [Andy Polyakov]
2373
2374 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2375
2376 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2377 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2378 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2379
2380 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2381 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2382 (CVE-2012-2110)
2383 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2384
2385 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2386 [Adam Langley]
2387
2388 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2389 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2390
2391 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2392 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2393 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2394 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2395 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2396 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2397 Most broken servers should now work.
2398 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2399 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2403 [Andy Polyakov]
2404
2405 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2406
2407 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2408 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2409 [Steve Henson]
2410
2411 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2412 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2413 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2414 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2415 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2419 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2420 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2421 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2422 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2426 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2427
2428 *) Add support for SCTP.
2429 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2430
2431 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2432 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2433
2434 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2435
2436 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2437 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2438 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2439 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2440 - s390x: z196 support;
2441 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2442
2443 [Andy Polyakov]
2444
2445 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2446 (removal of unnecessary code)
2447 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2448
2449 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2450 [Eric Rescorla]
2451
2452 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2453 [Eric Rescorla]
2454
2455 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2456 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2457 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2458 by Google.
2459 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2460
2461 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2462 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2463 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2464 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2465 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2466
2467 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2468 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2469 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2470
2471 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2472 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2473 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2474
2475 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2476 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2477 implementations).
2478 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2479
2480 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2481 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2482 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2483 [Steve Henson]
2484
2485 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2486 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2487 particular PSS.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2491 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2492 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2493 [Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2496 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2497 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2498 the appropriate parameters.
2499 [Steve Henson]
2500
2501 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2502 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2503 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2504 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2505 against a number of sample certificates.
2506 [Steve Henson]
2507
2508 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2509 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2510
2511 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2512 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2513
2514 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2515 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2516 parameters r, s.
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2520 RFC3211.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2524 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2525 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2526 password based CMS).
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Session-handling fixes:
2530 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2531 but also support Session Tickets.
2532 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2533 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2534 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2535 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2536 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2537 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2538
2539 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2540 [Bodo Moeller]
2541
2542 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2543
2544 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2545 [Andy Polyakov]
2546
2547 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2548 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2549 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2550 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2551 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2552 [Steve Henson]
2553
2554 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2555 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2556 [Steve Henson]
2557
2558 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2559 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2560 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2564 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2565 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2566 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2567 [Steve Henson]
2568
2569 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2570 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2571 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2572 [Steve Henson]
2573
2574 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2575 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2576
2577 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2578 [Steve Henson]
2579
2580 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2581 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2582 [Steve Henson]
2583
2584 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2585 [Steve Henson]
2586
2587 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2588 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2589 [Steve Henson]
2590
2591 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2592 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2596 [Steve Henson]
2597
2598 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2599 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2600 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2601 [Steve Henson]
2602
2603 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2610 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2611 [Steve Henson]
2612
2613 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2614 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2615 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2619 [Steve Henson]
2620
2621 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2622 and enable MD5.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2626 FIPS modules versions.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2630 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2631 until after the certificate request message is received.
2632 [Steve Henson]
2633
2634 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2635 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2636 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2637 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2638 [Steve Henson]
2639
2640 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2641 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2642 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2643 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2647 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2648 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2649 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2650 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2651 and version checking.
2652 [Steve Henson]
2653
2654 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2655 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2656 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2657 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2658 [Steve Henson]
2659
2660 *) Add SRP support.
2661 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2662
2663 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2664 [Steve Henson]
2665
2666 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2667 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2668 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2669
2670 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2671 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2672 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2673 [Steve Henson]
2674
2675 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2676 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2677
2678 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2679 a few changes are required:
2680
2681 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2682 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2683 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2684 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2685 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2689
2690 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2691 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2692 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2693 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2694 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2695 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2696 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2697 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2698 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2699 [Steve Henson]
2700
2701 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2702 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2703 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2704 [Steve Henson]
2705
2706 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2707
2708 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2709 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2710 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2711 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2712 [Antonio Martin]
2713
2714 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2715
2716 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2717 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2718 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2719 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2720 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2721 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2722 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2723 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2724 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2725 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2726 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2727 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2728 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2729
2730 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2731 (CVE-2011-4576)
2732 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2733
2734 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2735 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2736 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2737 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2738
2739 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2740 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2741
2742 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2743 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2744 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2745 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2746
2747 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2748 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2749
2750 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2751 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2752
2753 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2754 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2755
2756 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2757 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2758 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2759
2760 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2761 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2762 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2763
2764 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2765 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2766 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2767 the last update always remained unused).
2768 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2769
2770 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2771 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2772
2773 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2774
2775 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2776 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2777 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2778
2779 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2780 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2781 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2782
2783 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2784 [Bodo Moeller]
2785
2786 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2787 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2788 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2789 [Steve Henson]
2790
2791 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2792 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2793
2794 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2795
2796 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2797
2798 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2799
2800 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2801 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2802
2803 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2804 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2805 ambiguous.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2809
2810 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2811 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2812 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2813 [Steve Henson]
2814
2815 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2816 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2817 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2818 [Ben Laurie]
2819
2820 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2821
2822 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2823 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2824 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2825 [Steve Henson]
2826
2827 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2828 a DLL.
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2832
2833 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2834 (CVE-2010-1633)
2835 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2836
2837 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2838
2839 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2840 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2841 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2842 [Steve Henson]
2843
2844 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2845 [Steve Henson]
2846
2847 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2848 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2849 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2850
2851 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2852 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2853 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2857 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2861 some responders need this.
2862 [Steve Henson]
2863
2864 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2865 correctly.
2866 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2867
2868 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2869 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2870 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2874 [Steve Henson]
2875
2876 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2877 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2878 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2879 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2880 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2881 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2882 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2883 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2887 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2888 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2889 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2890
2891 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2892 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2893
2894 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2895 be used on C++.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2899 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2900 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2901 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2902 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2903 attempting to work them out.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2907 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2908 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2909 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2910 [Steve Henson]
2911
2912 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2913 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2914 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2915 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2916 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2920 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2921 you can do:
2922
2923 openssl sha256 foo
2924
2925 as well as:
2926
2927 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2928
2929 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2930
2931 [Steve Henson]
2932
2933 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2934 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2935
2936 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2937 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2940 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2941 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2942 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2943 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2944 [Steve Henson]
2945
2946 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2947 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2948 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2952 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2953 [Steve Henson]
2954
2955 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2956 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2957
2958 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2959 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2963 [Ben Laurie]
2964
2965 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2966 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2967 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2968 CONF_VALUE.
2969 [Ben Laurie]
2970
2971 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2972 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2973 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2974 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2975 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2976 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2977 [Steve Henson]
2978
2979 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2980 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2981
2982 This work was sponsored by Google.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2986 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2987 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2988 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2989 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2990 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2991 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by

2995 [Steve Henson]
2996
2997 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2998
2999 This work was sponsored by Google.
3000 [Steve Henson]
3001
3002 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3003 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3004 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3005 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3006
3007 This work was sponsored by Google.
3008 [Steve Henson]
3009
3010 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3011 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3012 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3013 CRL functionality in future.
3014

3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3019
3020 This work was sponsored by Google.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3024 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3025
3026 This work was sponsored by Google.
3027 [Steve Henson]
3028
3029 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3030 and URI types are currently supported.
3031
3032 This work was sponsored by Google.
3033 [Steve Henson]
3034
3035 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3036 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3037 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3038 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3039 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3040 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3041 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3042 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3043
3044 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3045 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3046 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3047
3048 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3049 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3050 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3051 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3052
3053 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3054 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3055 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3056 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3057 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3058 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3059 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3060 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3061 of &errno.)
3062 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3063
3064 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3065 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3066 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3067
3068 This work was sponsored by Google.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3072 [Ben Laurie]
3073
3074 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3075 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3076 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3077 [Ben Laurie]
3078
3079 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3080 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3081 [Nick Mathewson]
3082
3083 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3084 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3085 [Ben Laurie]
3086
3087 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3088 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3089 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3090 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3091 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3092 content types and variants.
3093 [Steve Henson]
3094
3095 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3099 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3100 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3101 files from the associated perl scripts.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3105 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3106 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3107
3108 *) s390x assembler pack.
3109 [Andy Polyakov]
3110
3111 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3112 "family."
3113 [Andy Polyakov]
3114
3115 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3116 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3117 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3118 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3119 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3120 to use. For example, specify an option
3121
3122 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3123
3124 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3125 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3126 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3127 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3128 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3129 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3130
3131 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3132 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3133 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3134 return non-zero for success.
3135
3136 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3137 by using
3138
3139 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3140 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3141
3142 where
3143
3144 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3145 void *arg;
3146
3147 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3148 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3149 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3150 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3151 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3152 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3153 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3154 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3155 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3156
3157 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3158 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3159 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3160 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3161 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3162 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3163
3164 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3165 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3166 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3167 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3168 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3169 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3170
3171 [Bodo Moeller]
3172
3173 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3174 MAC.
3175
3176 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3177
3178 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3179 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3180 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3181 supported.
3182
3183 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3184 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3185 SSL_SESSION.
3186
3187 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3188 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3189 with no application modification.
3190
3191 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3192 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3193
3194 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3195 or server extensions to be examined.
3196
3197 This work was sponsored by Google.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3201 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3202 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3205 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3206 ciphersuite support.
3207 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3208
3209 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3210 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3211 to output in BER and PEM format.
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3215 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3216 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3217 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3218 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3222 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3223 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3224 utility.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3228 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3229 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3230 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3231 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3232 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3233 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3234 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3235 enabled again.
3236
3237 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3238 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3239 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3240 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3241
3242 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3243 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3244 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3245 the default order.
3246 [Bodo Moeller]
3247
3248 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3249 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3250 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3251 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3252 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3253 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3254 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3255 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3256 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3257
3258 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3259 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3260 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3261 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3262 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3263 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3264 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3265 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3266 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3267 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3268 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3269 kinds of kludges.
3270
3271 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3272 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3273 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3274
3275 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3276 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3277 "CAMELLIA256".
3278 [Bodo Moeller]
3279
3280 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3281 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3282 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3283 [Nils Larsch]
3284
3285 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3286 it yet and it is largely untested.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3290 [Nils Larsch]
3291
3292 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3293 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3294 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3295 [Steve Henson]
3296
3297 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3298 [Andy Polyakov]
3299
3300 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3301 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3302 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3303 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3304 [Steve Henson]
3305
3306 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3307 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3308 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3309 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3310 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3311 [Steve Henson]
3312
3313 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3314 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3315 [Cryptocom]
3316
3317 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3318 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3319 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3320 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3321 [Steve Henson]
3322
3323 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3324 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3325 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3326 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3330 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3334 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3335 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3336 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3340 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3341 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3345 utility.
3346 [Steve Henson]
3347
3348 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3349 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3350 [Steve Henson]
3351
3352 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3353 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3354 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3355 if necessary.
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3359 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3360 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3364 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3365 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3366 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3367 [Steve Henson]
3368
3369 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3370 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3371 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3372 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3373 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3374 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3375 [Douglas Stebila]
3376
3377 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3378 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3379 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3380 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3381 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3382
3383 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3384 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3385 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3386 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3387 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3388 protocol).
3389
3390 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3391 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3392 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3393 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3394
3395 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3396 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3397 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3398 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3399 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3400
3401 aECDH - ECDH cert
3402 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3403 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3404
3405 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3406 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3407
3408 [Bodo Moeller]
3409
3410 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3411 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3412 [Steve Henson]
3413
3414 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3415 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3419 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3420 functional reference processing.
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3424 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3425 process.
3426 [Steve Henson]
3427
3428 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3429 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3430 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3431 [Steve Henson]
3432
3433 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3434 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3435 application to support multiple signers.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3439 digest MAC.
3440 [Steve Henson]
3441
3442 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3443 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3444 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3445 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3446 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3447 [Steve Henson]
3448
3449 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3450 new API.
3451 [Steve Henson]
3452
3453 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3454 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3455 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3456 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3457 a no op.
3458 [Steve Henson]
3459
3460 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3461 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3462 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3463 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3464 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3465 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3466 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3467 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3468 [Steve Henson]
3469
3470 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3471 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3472 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3473 between digests and public key types.
3474 [Steve Henson]
3475
3476 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3477 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3478 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3479 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3480 [Steve Henson]
3481
3482 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3483 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3484 key ASN1 method.
3485 [Steve Henson]
3486
3487 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3491 pkeyutl.
3492 [Steve Henson]
3493
3494 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3495 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3496 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3497 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3498 pkey, genpkey.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) BeOS support.
3502 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3503
3504 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3505 manual pages.
3506 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3507
3508 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3509 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3510 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3511 functionality for RSA.
3512 [Steve Henson]
3513
3514 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3515 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3516 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3517 [Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3520 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3521 [Steve Henson]
3522
3523 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3524 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3525 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3526 [Steve Henson]
3527
3528 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3529 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3530 [Douglas Stebila]
3531
3532 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3533 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3534 [Steve Henson]
3535
3536 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3537 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3538 type.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3542 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3543 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3544 structure.
3545 [Steve Henson]
3546
3547 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3548 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3549 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3550 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3551 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3552 of public and private key structures.
3553 [Steve Henson]
3554
3555 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3556 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3557 [Douglas Stebila]
3558
3559 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3560 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3561 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3562
3563 New ciphersuites:
3564 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3565 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3566
3567 New functions:
3568 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3569 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3570 SSL_get_psk_identity
3571 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3572
3573 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3574
3575 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3576 and response verification functionality.
3577 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3578
3579 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3580 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3581 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3582 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3583 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3584 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3585 server_name extension.
3586
3587 New functions (subject to change):
3588
3589 SSL_get_servername()
3590 SSL_get_servername_type()
3591 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3592
3593 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3594
3595 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3596 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3597 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3598 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3599 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3600
3601 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3602
3603 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3604 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3605 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3606 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3607 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3608 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3609 option.
3610
3611 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3612
3613 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3614 [Andy Polyakov]
3615
3616 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3617 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3618 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3619 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3620 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3621 [Andy Polyakov]
3622
3623 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3624 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3625 macro.
3626 [Bodo Moeller]
3627
3628 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3629 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3630 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3631 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3632 [Andy Polyakov]
3633
3634 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3635 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3636 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3637 using the maximum available value.
3638 [Steve Henson]
3639
3640 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3641 in addition to the text details.
3642 [Bodo Moeller]
3643
3644 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3645 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3646 handle several customised structures at all.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3650 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3651 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3655 [Steve Henson]
3656
3657 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3658 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3659 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3663 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3664 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3665 [Nils Larsch]
3666
3667 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3668 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3669 all fields.
3670 [Steve Henson]
3671
3672 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3673 [Steve Henson]
3674
3675 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3676 [NTT]
3677
3678 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3679
3680 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3681 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3682 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3683 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3684 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3685 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3686 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3687 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3688
3689 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3690 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3691 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3692
3693 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3694
3695 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3696 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3697
3698 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3699 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3700 [Bodo Moeller]
3701
3702 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3703 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3704 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3705 [Steve Henson]
3706
3707 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3708 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3709 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3710 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3711 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3712 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3713 [Steve Henson]
3714
3715 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3716 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3717 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3721 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3722 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3723 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3724 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3725 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3726 CVE-2009-4355.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3730 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3731 [Bodo Moeller]
3732
3733 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3734 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3735 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3736 [Steve Henson]
3737
3738 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3739 [Steve Henson]
3740
3741 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3742 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3743 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3744 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3745 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3746 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3747 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3748 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3749 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3750 [Steve Henson]
3751
3752 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3753 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3754 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3758 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3759 [Steve Henson]
3760
3761 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3762 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3763 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3764 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3765 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3766 know what you are doing.
3767 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3770 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3771 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3772 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3773 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3774 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3775 the handshake.
3776 [Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3779 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3780 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3781 correctly.
3782 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3783
3784 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3785 warnings in other configurations.
3786 [Steve Henson]
3787
3788 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3789 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3790 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3791 systems need.
3792 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3793
3794 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3795 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3796 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3797
3798 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3799 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3800 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3801 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3802 [Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3805 and restored.
3806 [Steve Henson]
3807
3808 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3809 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3810 clash.
3811 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3812
3813 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3814 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3815 other than a simple chain.
3816 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3817
3818 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3819 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3820 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3821 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3825 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3826 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3827 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3828 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3829 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3830 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3831 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3832 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3833
3834 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3835 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3836 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3837 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3838 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3839 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3840 (CVE-2009-1377)
3841 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3842
3843 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3844 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3845 [Daniel Mentz]
3846
3847 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3848 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3849
3850 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3851 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3852
3853 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3854
3855 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3856 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3857 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3858 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3859 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3860 you're doing.
3861 [Ben Laurie]
3862
3863 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3864
3865 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3866 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3867 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3868 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3869
3870 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3871 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3872 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3873 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3874
3875 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3876 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3877 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3878 [Steve Henson]
3879
3880 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3881 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3882 level.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3886 to handle some structures.
3887 [Steve Henson]
3888
3889 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3890 for a '\n'
3891 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3892
3893 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3894 [Matthieu Herrb]
3895
3896 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3897 [Steve Henson]
3898
3899 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3903 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3904 chosen compiler.
3905 [Ben Laurie]
3906
3907 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3908
3909 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3910 (CVE-2008-5077).
3911 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3912
3913 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3914 [Ben Laurie]
3915
3916 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3917 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3918 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3919 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3920
3921 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3922 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3923
3924 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3925 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3926 [Bodo Moeller]
3927
3928 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3929 s_client and s_server.
3930 [Ben Laurie]
3931
3932 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3933 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3934
3935 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3936 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3937
3938 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3939 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3940 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3941 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3942 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3943 [Bodo Moeller]
3944
3945 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3946
3947 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3948 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3949 [PR #1679]
3950
3951 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3952 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3953 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3954
3955 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3956 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3957 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3958 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3959
3960 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3961 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3962
3963 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3964
3965 *) Various precautionary measures:
3966
3967 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3968
3969 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3970 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3971 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3972
3973 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3974 outside the expected range.
3975
3976 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3977 builds.
3978
3979 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3980
3981 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3982 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3983 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3984
3985 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3986 [Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3989 [Huang Ying]
3990
3991 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3992
3993 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3997 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3998 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3999
4000 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
4004 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4005 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
4006 files.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4010
4011 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4012 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4013 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4014 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4015
4016 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4017 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4018 [Joe Orton]
4019
4020 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4021
4022 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4023 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4024 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4025
4026 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4027
4028 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4029 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4030 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4031 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4032 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4033
4034 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4035 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4036 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4037 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4038 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4039 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4040 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4041
4042 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4043
4044 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4045 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4046 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4047 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4048 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4049
4050 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4051 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4052
4053 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4054 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4055 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4056 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4057 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4058
4059 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4060
4061 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4062 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4063 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4064 sets may exist with different names.
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4068 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4069 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4070 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4071 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4072 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4073 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4074 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4075 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4076 implementation.
4077 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4078
4079 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4080 implemention in the following ways:
4081
4082 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4083 hard coded.
4084
4085 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4086 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4087 ignored for embedded content.
4088
4089 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4090 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4094 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4095 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4096 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4097
4098 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4099 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4103 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4104 [Steve Henson]
4105
4106 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4107 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4108 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4109 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4110 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4111 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4112 data.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4116 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4117 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4118
4119 *) Netware support:
4120
4121 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4122 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4123 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4124 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4125 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4126 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4127 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4128 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4129 platform
4130 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4131 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4132 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4133 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4134 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4135 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4136 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4137
4138 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4139 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4140 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4141 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4142 to s_client and s_server.
4143 [Steve Henson]
4144
4145 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4146
4147 *) Fix various bugs:
4148 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4149 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4150 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4151 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4152 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4153
4154 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4155
4156 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4157 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4158 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4159 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4160 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4161 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4162 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4163 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4164 [Andy Polyakov]
4165
4166 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4167 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4168 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4169 Steve Henson]
4170
4171 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4172 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4173 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4174 supported.
4175
4176 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4177 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4178 SSL_SESSION.
4179
4180 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4181 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4182 with no application modification.
4183
4184 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4185 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4186
4187 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4188 or server extensions to be examined.
4189
4190 This work was sponsored by Google.
4191 [Steve Henson]
4192
4193 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4194 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4195 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4196 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4197 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4198 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4199 server_name extension.
4200
4201 New functions (subject to change):
4202
4203 SSL_get_servername()
4204 SSL_get_servername_type()
4205 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4206
4207 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4208
4209 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4210 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4211 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4212 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4213 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4214
4215 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4216
4217 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4218 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4219 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4220 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4221 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4222 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4223 option.
4224
4225 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4228 [Steve Henson]
4229
4230 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4231 [Andy Polyakov]
4232
4233 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4234 (which previously caused an internal error).
4235 [Bodo Moeller]
4236
4237 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4238 [Ben Laurie]
4239
4240 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4241 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4242
4243 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4244 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4245 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4246
4247 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4248 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4249 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4250 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4251
4252 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4253 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4254 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4255 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4256
4257 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4258 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4259 information. For detailed background information, see
4260 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4261 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4262 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4263 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4264 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4265 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4266 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4267 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4268 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4269 remove a conditional branch.
4270
4271 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4272 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4273 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4274 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4275 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4276 remains as a deprecated alias.
4277
4278 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4279 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4280 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4281 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4282
4283 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4284 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4285 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4286 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4287 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4288 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4289 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4290 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4291
4292 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4293
4294 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4295 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4296 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4297 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4298 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4299 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4300 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4301 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4302 in a different context.
4303 [Bodo Moeller]
4304
4305 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4306 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4307 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4308 [Bodo Moeller]
4309
4310 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4311 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4312 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4313
4314 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4315
4316 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4317 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4318 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4319 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4320 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4321 [Victor Duchovni]
4322
4323 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4324 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4325 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4326 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4327 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4328 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4329 [Bodo Moeller]
4330
4331 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4332 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4333 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4334 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4335 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4336 [Bodo Moeller]
4337
4338 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4339 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4340
4341 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4342 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4343 Improve header file function name parsing.
4344 [Steve Henson]
4345
4346 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4347 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4348 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4349
4350 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4351
4352 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4353 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4354 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4355
4356 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4357 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4358
4359 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4360 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4361
4362 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4363 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4364 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4365
4366 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4367 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4368 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4369 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4370 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4371 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4372 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4373 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4374 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4375
4376 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4377 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4378 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4379 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4380 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4381
4382 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4383 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4384 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4385 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4386 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4387 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4388 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4389 multiple values to extend the available space.
4390
4391 [Bodo Moeller]
4392
4393 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4394
4395 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4396 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4397
4398 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4399 [Ben Laurie]
4400
4401 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4402 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4403 undesirable limitations.
4404 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4405
4406 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4407 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4408 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4409 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4410 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4411 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4412 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4413 [Bodo Moeller]
4414
4415 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4416
4417 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4418 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4419 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4420
4421 The latter two were purportedly from
4422 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4423 appear there.
4424
4425 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4426 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4427 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4428 [Bodo Moeller]
4429
4430 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4431 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4432 [Bodo Moeller]
4433
4434 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4435 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4436 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4437 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4438
4439 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4440 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4441 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4442 [NTT]
4443
4444 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4445 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4446 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4447 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4448 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4449 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4450 [Steve Henson]
4451
4452 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4453
4454 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4455 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4456 [Steve Henson]
4457
4458 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4459 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4460
4461 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4462 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4463 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4464 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4465 [Douglas Stebila]
4466
4467 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4468 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4469 [Steve Henson]
4470
4471 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4472 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4473 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4474 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4475 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4476 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4477 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4478 can't be loaded.
4479 [Steve Henson]
4480
4481 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4482 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4483 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4484 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4485 [Steve Henson]
4486
4487 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4488 under VC++ build system.
4489 [Steve Henson]
4490
4491 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4492 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4493 [Richard Levitte]
4494
4495 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4496
4497 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4498 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4499 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4500 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4501 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4502
4503 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4504 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4505 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4506
4507 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4508 [Steve Henson]
4509
4510 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4511 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4512 [Nils Larsch]
4513
4514 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4515 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4516
4517 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4518 [Nick Mathewson]
4519
4520 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4521 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4522
4523 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4524 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4528 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4529 smime utility.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4533
4534 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4535 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4536
4537 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4538 [Richard Levitte]
4539
4540 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4541 key into the same file any more.
4542 [Richard Levitte]
4543
4544 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4545 [Andy Polyakov]
4546
4547 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4548 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4549
4550 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4551 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4552 [Richard Levitte]
4553
4554 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4555 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4556 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4557 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4558 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4559 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4560
4561 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4562 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4563 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4567 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4568 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4569 - add new function for parameter creation
4570 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4571 BN_BLINDING parameters
4572 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4573 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4574 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4575 threads.
4576 [Nils Larsch]
4577
4578 *) Add support for DTLS.
4579 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4580
4581 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4582 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4583 [Walter Goulet]
4584
4585 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4586 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4587 [Nils Larsch]
4588
4589 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4590 the apps/openssl applications.
4591 [Nils Larsch]
4592
4593 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4594 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4595 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4596 [Ben Laurie]
4597
4598 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4599 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4600
4601 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4602 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4603
4604 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4605 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4606 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4607 avoid this algorithm.)
4608
4609 [Bodo Moeller]
4610
4611 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4612 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4613 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4614 [Richard Levitte]
4615
4616 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4617 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4618 [Andy Polyakov]
4619
4620 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4621 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4622 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4623 pod file:
4624
4625 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4626
4627 The blank line is mandatory.
4628
4629 [Steve Henson]
4630
4631 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4632 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4633 sources.
4634 [Steve Henson]
4635
4636 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4637 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4638
4639 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4640 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4641 to support policy checking and print out.
4642 [Steve Henson]
4643
4644 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4645 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4646 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4647 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4648
4649 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4650 [Geoff Thorpe]
4651
4652 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4653 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4654
4655 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4656 implementation contributed by IBM.
4657 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4658
4659 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4660 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4661 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4662 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4663
4664 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4665 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4666
4667 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4668 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4669 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4670 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4671 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4672 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4673 [Steve Henson]
4674
4675 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4676 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4677 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4678 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4679 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4680 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4681 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4682 [Geoff Thorpe]
4683
4684 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4688 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4689 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4690 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4691 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4692 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4693 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4694 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4695 [Steve Henson]
4696
4697 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4698 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4699 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4700 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4701 [Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4704 syntax:
4705
4706 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4707 [Steve Henson]
4708
4709 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4710 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4711 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4712 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4713 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4714 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4715 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4716 [Geoff Thorpe]
4717
4718 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4719 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4720 [Geoff Thorpe]
4721
4722 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4723 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4724 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4725 [Steve Henson]
4726
4727 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4728 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4729 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4730 below).
4731 [Geoff Thorpe]
4732
4733 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4734 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4735 [Richard Levitte]
4736
4737 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4738 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4739 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4740 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4741 [Geoff Thorpe]
4742
4743 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4744 initialised value as BN_new().
4745 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4746
4747 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4748 [Steve Henson]
4749
4750 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4751 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4752 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4753 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4754 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4755 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4756 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4757 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4758 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4759 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4760 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4761 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4762 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4763 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4764 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4765
4766 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4767 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4768 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4769 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4770 [Geoff Thorpe]
4771
4772 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4773 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4774 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4775 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4776 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4777 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4778 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4779 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4780 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4781 [Geoff Thorpe]
4782
4783 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4784 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4785 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4786 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4787 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4788 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4789 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4790 [Geoff Thorpe]
4791
4792 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4793 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4794 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4795 these have been updated also.
4796 [Geoff Thorpe]
4797
4798 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4799 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4800 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4801 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4802 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4803 functions.
4804 [Steve Henson]
4805
4806 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4807 structure of type "other".
4808 [Steve Henson]
4809
4810 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4811 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4812 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4813 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4814 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4815 situation in the script.
4816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4817
4818 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4819 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4820 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4821 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4822 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4823 used as premaster secret.
4824 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4825
4826 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4827 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4828 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4829
4830 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4831 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4832
4833 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4834 control of the error stack.
4835 [Richard Levitte]
4836
4837 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4838 [Richard Levitte]
4839
4840 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4841 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4842 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4843 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4844 [Richard Levitte]
4845
4846 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4847 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4848 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4849 [Richard Levitte]
4850
4851 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4852 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4853 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4854 a memory area.
4855 [Richard Levitte]
4856
4857 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4858 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4859 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4860 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4861 [Richard Levitte]
4862
4863 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4864 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4865 the following flags are defined:
4866
4867 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4868 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4869 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4870 number.
4871
4872 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4873 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4874 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4875 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4876 returns zero.
4877 [Richard Levitte]
4878
4879 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4880 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4881 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4882 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4883 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4884 [Richard Levitte]
4885
4886 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4887 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4888 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4889 [Richard Levitte]
4890
4891 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4892 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4893 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4894 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4895 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4896 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4897 [Richard Levitte]
4898
4899 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4900 req and dirName.
4901 [Steve Henson]
4902
4903 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4904 [Steve Henson]
4905
4906 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4910 [Steve Henson]
4911
4912 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4913 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4914 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4915 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4916 default implementation more easily.
4917 [Geoff Thorpe]
4918
4919 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4920 in config files.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4924 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4925 [Richard Levitte]
4926
4927 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4928 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4929 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4930 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4931
4932 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4933 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4934 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4935 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4936 [Steve Henson]
4937
4938 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4939 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4940 to do it.
4941 [Richard Levitte]
4942
4943 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4944 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4945 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4946 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4947 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4948 scalar * generator).
4949 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4950
4951 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4952 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4953 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4954 correctly.
4955 [Steve Henson]
4956
4957 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4958 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4959 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4960 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4961 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4962 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4963 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4964 linker additions, eg;
4965 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4966 [Geoff Thorpe]
4967
4968 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4969 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4970 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4971 [Geoff Thorpe]
4972
4973 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4974 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4975 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4976 via PR#459)
4977 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4978
4979 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4980 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4981 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4982 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4983 [Geoff Thorpe]
4984
4985 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4986 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4987 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4988 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4989 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4990 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4991 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4992 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4993 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4994 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4995
4996 Example for using the new callback interface:
4997
4998 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4999 void *my_arg = ...;
5000 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5001
5002 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5003
5004 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5005 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5006 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5007 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5008 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5009 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5010 */
5011
5012 [Geoff Thorpe]
5013
5014 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5015 available to TLS with the number defined in
5016 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5017 [Richard Levitte]
5018
5019 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5020 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5021
5022 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5023 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5024 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5025 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5026
5027 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5028 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5029
5030 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5031 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5032 well.
5033 [Richard Levitte]
5034
5035 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5036 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5037 [Richard Levitte]
5038
5039 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5040 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5041 and a macro that behave like
5042 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5043
5044 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5045 [Nils Larsch]
5046
5047 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5048 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5049 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5050 if applicable.
5051 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5052
5053 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5054 [Bodo Moeller]
5055
5056 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5057 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5058 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5059 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5060 directory engines/.
5061 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5062 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5063 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5064 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5065 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
5066 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5067 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5068 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5069
5070 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5071 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5072 [Richard Levitte]
5073
5074 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5075 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5076
5077 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5078 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5079 files while avoiding the low level API.
5080
5081 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5082 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5083 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5084 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5085
5086 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5087 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5088 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5089 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5090 instead of the low level API.
5091 [Steve Henson]
5092
5093 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5094 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5095 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5096 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5097 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5098 PKCS#7 code.
5099
5100 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5101 down to the template encoder.
5102 [Steve Henson]
5103
5104 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5105 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5106 [Bodo Moeller]
5107
5108 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5109 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5110 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5111 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5112
5113 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5114 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5115
5116 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5117 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5118
5119 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5120 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5121 [Bodo Moeller]
5122
5123 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5124 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5125 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5126 [Bodo Moeller]
5127
5128 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5129 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5130
5131 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5132 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5133
5134 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5135 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5136 New EC_METHOD:
5137
5138 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5139
5140 New API functions:
5141
5142 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5143 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5144 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5145 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5146 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5147 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5148
5149 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5150 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5151 enable it).
5152
5153 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5154 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5155 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5156 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5157 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5158 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5159 various internal method names.)
5160
5161 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5162 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5163
5164 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5165 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5166
5167 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5168 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5169
5170 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5171 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5172 methods are undefined.
5173
5174 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5175 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5176
5177 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5178 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5179 length of the modulus.
5180
5181 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5182 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5183
5184 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5185 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5186
5187 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5188 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5189
5190 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5191 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5192 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5193
5194 BN_GF2m_add
5195 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5196 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5197 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5198 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5199 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5200 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5201 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5202 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5203 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5204
5205 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5206 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5207
5208 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5209 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5210 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5211 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5212 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5213 where
5214 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5215 This applies to the following functions:
5216
5217 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5218 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5219 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5220 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5221 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5222 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5223 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5224 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5225 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5226 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5227
5228 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5229
5230 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5231 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5232
5233 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5234
5235 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5236 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5237 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5238 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5239 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5240
5241 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5242 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5243
5244 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5245 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5246 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5247
5248 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5249 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5250
5251 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5252 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5253 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5254 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5255 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5256
5257 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5258 functions
5259 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5260 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5261 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5262 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5263 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5264 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5265 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5266 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5267 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5268 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5269 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5270 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5271
5272 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5273 functions
5274 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5275 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5276 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5277 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5278 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5279
5280 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5281 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5282 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5283 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5284
5285 *) Add functions
5286 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5287 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5288 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5289 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5290 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5291 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5292 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5293
5294 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5295 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5296 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5297 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5298 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5299 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5300 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5301 adding different types of curves.
5302 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5303
5304 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5305 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5306 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5307 [Bodo Moeller]
5308
5309 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5310 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5311
5312 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5313 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5314 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5315 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5316
5317 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5318
5319 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5320 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5321
5322 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5323 library. Most notably,
5324 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5325 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5326 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5327 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5328 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5329 extracted before the specific public key;
5330 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5331 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5332
5333 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5334 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5335 function
5336 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5337 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5338 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5339 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5340 accessed via
5341 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5342 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5343 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5344
5345 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5346 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5347 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5348 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5349 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5350 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5351 differing sizes.
5352 [Richard Levitte]
5353
5354 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5355
5356 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5357 sensitive data.
5358 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5359
5360 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5361 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5362 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5363 [Bodo Moeller]
5364
5365 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5366 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5367 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5368 [Victor Duchovni]
5369
5370 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5371 [Steve Henson]
5372
5373 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5374 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5375 [Steve Henson]
5376
5377 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5378 run algorithm test programs.
5379 [Steve Henson]
5380
5381 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5382 [Steve Henson]
5383
5384 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5385 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5386 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5387 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5388 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5389 [Bodo Moeller]
5390
5391 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5392 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5393 [Steve Henson]
5394
5395 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5396
5397 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5398 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5399 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5400
5401 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5402 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5403
5404 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5405 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5406
5407 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5408 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5409 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5410
5411 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5412 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5413 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5414 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5415 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5416 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5417 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5418 [Bodo Moeller]
5419
5420 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5421
5422 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5423 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5424
5425 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5426 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5427 undesirable limitations.
5428 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5429
5430 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5431
5432 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5433 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5434 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5435
5436 The latter two were purportedly from
5437 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5438 appear there.
5439
5440 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5441 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5442 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5443 [Bodo Moeller]
5444
5445 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5446 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5447 [Bodo Moeller]
5448
5449 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5450
5451 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5452 module in FIPS mode.
5453 [Steve Henson]
5454
5455 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5456 [Steve Henson]
5457
5458 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5459 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5460 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5461 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5462 [Steve Henson]
5463
5464 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5465
5466 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5467 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5468 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5469 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5470 the difference induced by this change.
5471 [Andy Polyakov]
5472
5473 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5474
5475 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5476 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5477 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5478 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5479 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5480
5481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5482 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5483 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5484
5485 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5486 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5487 [Steve Henson]
5488
5489 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5490 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5491 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5492 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5493 biased k.)
5494 [Bodo Moeller]
5495
5496 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5497 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5498 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5499 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5500 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5501
5502 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5503 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5504 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5505 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5506 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5507 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5508
5509 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5510
5511 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5512 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5513 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5514 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5515 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5516 [Bodo Moeller]
5517
5518 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5519 clients need.
5520 [Steve Henson]
5521
5522 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5523 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5524 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5525 [Steve Henson]
5526
5527 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5528 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5529 structures constant.
5530 [Steve Henson]
5531
5532 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5533
5534 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5535 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5536
5537 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5538 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5539 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5540 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5541 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5542 some needed definitions.
5543 [Steve Henson]
5544
5545 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5546 [Ulf Möller]
5547
5548 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5549 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5550 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5551 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5552 [Richard Levitte]
5553
5554 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5555
5556 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5557 server and client random values. Previously
5558 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5559 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5560
5561 This change has negligible security impact because:
5562
5563 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5564 data.
5565
5566 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5567 handshake.
5568
5569 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5570 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5571 values.
5572
5573 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5574 to our attention.
5575
5576 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5577
5578 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5579 [Ulf Möller]
5580
5581 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5582 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5583 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5584
5585 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5586 [Steve Henson]
5587
5588 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5589 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5590 [Andy Polyakov]
5591
5592 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5593 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5594 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5595
5596 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5600 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5601 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5602 certificates.
5603 [Steve Henson]
5604
5605 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5606 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5607 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5608 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5609
5610 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5611 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5612 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5613 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5614 been given)
5615 [Richard Levitte]
5616
5617 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5618
5619 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5620 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5621 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5622 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5623 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5624 [Steve Henson]
5625
5626 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5627 [Steve Henson]
5628
5629 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5630 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5631
5632 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5633 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5634 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5635 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5636 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5637 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5638 rather than being initialized to 1.
5639 [Steve Henson]
5640
5641 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5642
5643 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5644 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5645 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5646
5647 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5648 (CVE-2004-0112)
5649 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5652 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5653 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5654 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5655 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5656 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5657 [Richard Levitte]
5658
5659 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5660 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5661 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5662 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5663 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5664 for these cases.
5665 [Steve Henson]
5666
5667 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5668 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5669 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5670 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5671 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5672 [Steve Henson]
5673
5674 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5675 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5676 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5677 < 0.9.7.
5678 [Steve Henson]
5679
5680 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5681 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5682
5683 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5687
5688 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5689
5690 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5691 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5692
5693 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5694
5695 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5696 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5697
5698 [Steve Henson]
5699
5700 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5701 exiting on the first error in a request.
5702 [Steve Henson]
5703
5704 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5705 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5706 specifications.
5707 [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5710 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5711 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5712 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5713
5714 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5715 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5716 [Richard Levitte]
5717
5718 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5719 blocks during encryption.
5720 [Richard Levitte]
5721
5722 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5723 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5724 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5725 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5726 certain size.
5727 [Steve Henson]
5728
5729 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5730 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5731 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5732 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5733 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5734 parser.
5735 [Steve Henson]
5736
5737 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5738
5739 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5740 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5741 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5742 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5743 [Bodo Moeller]
5744
5745 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5746 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5747 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5748 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5749 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5750
5751 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5752 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5753 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5754 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5755 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5756 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5757 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5758 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5759 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5760 [Bodo Moeller]
5761
5762 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5763 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5764 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5765 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5766 [Geoff Thorpe]
5767
5768 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5769 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5770 [Ulf Moeller]
5771
5772 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5773
5774 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5775 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5776 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5777 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5778 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5779
5780 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5781 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5782 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5783
5784 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5785 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5786 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5787 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5788 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5789
5790 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5791 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5792 used by default when no-err is given.
5793 [Richard Levitte]
5794
5795 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5796 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5797
5798 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5799 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5800 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5801 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5802 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5803
5804 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5805 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5806 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5807 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5808
5809 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5810
5811 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5812
5813 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5814
5815 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5816 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5817 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5818 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5819 root is omitted).
5820 [Steve Henson]
5821
5822 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5823 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5824
5825 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5826 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5827 [Steve Henson]
5828
5829 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5830 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5831 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5832 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5833 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5834
5835 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5836 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5837 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5838 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5839 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5840 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5841 followup to PR #377.
5842 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5843
5844 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5845 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5846 [Andy Polyakov]
5847
5848 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5849 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5850 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5851 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5852
5853 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5854
5855 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5856 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5857
5858 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5859 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5860 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5861 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5862 client and server.
5863 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5864 PR #377.
5865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5866
5867 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5868 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5869 removed entirely.
5870 [Richard Levitte]
5871
5872 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5873 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5874 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5875 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5876 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5877 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5878 of libcrypto.
5879 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5880 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5881 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5882 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5883 have to be made anyway).
5884 [Richard Levitte]
5885
5886 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5887 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5888 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5889 [Steve Henson]
5890
5891 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5892 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5893 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5894 [Richard Levitte]
5895
5896 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5897 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5898 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5899
5900 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5901 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5902 edit numbers of the version.
5903 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5904
5905 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5906 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5907 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5908
5909 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5911
5912 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5913 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5914 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5915
5916 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5917 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5918
5919 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5920 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5921
5922 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5923 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5924
5925 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5926 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5927
5928 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5929 overflows.
5930 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5931
5932 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5933 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5935
5936 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5937 representations in a platform independent manner.
5938 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5939
5940 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5941 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5942 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5943
5944 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5945 indents.
5946 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5947
5948 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5949 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5950
5951 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5952 full. Fixed.
5953 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5954
5955 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5956 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5957 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5958
5959 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5960 unconditionally).
5961 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5962
5963 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5964 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5965
5966 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5967 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5968
5969 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5970 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5971
5972 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5973 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5974
5975 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5976 CBCParameter.
5977 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5978
5979 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5980 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5981
5982 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5983 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5984
5985 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5986 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5987 exploitable.
5988 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5989
5990 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5991 the 0.9.6 release series:
5992
5993 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5994 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5995 (CVE-2002-0657)
5996 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5997
5998 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5999 [Richard Levitte]
6000
6001 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6002 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6003
6004 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6005 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6006
6007 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6008 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6009 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6010 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6011
6012 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6013 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6014 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6015
6016 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6017 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6018 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6019 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6020
6021 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6022 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6023 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6024 some local tweaks:
6025
6026 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6027 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6028 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6029 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6030 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6031 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6032 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6033 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6034 done
6035
6036 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6037 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6038 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6039 [Richard Levitte]
6040
6041 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6042 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6043 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6044 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6045 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6046
6047 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6048 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6049
6050 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6051 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6052 [Richard Levitte]
6053
6054 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6055 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6056 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6057 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6058 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6059 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6060 [Steve Henson]
6061
6062 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6063 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6064 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6065 [Steve Henson]
6066
6067 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6068 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6069 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6070
6071 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6072 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6073 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6074 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6075 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6076 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6077 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6078 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6079
6080 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6081 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6082 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6083 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6084 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6085 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6086 [Steve Henson]
6087
6088 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6089 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6090 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6091 declaration has been changed from
6092 int (*cb)()
6093 into
6094 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6095 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6096 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6097 has been changed into
6098 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6099
6100 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6101 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6102 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6103
6104 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6105 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6106
6107 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6108 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6109 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6110 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6111 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6112 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6113 always load it have also been added.
6114 [Steve Henson]
6115
6116 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6117 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6118 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6119
6120 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6121
6122 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6123 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6124 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6125
6126 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6127 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6128 command line option can be used to specify an
6129 alternative file.
6130 [Steve Henson]
6131
6132 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6133 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6134 [Steve Henson]
6135
6136 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6137 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6138 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6139 [Steve Henson]
6140
6141 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6142 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6143 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6144 to work with the new engine framework.
6145 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6146
6147 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6148 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6149 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6150 to work with the new engine framework.
6151 [Richard Levitte]
6152
6153 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6154 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6155 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6156
6157 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6158 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6159
6160 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6161 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6162 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6163 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6164 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6165 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6166
6167 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6168 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6169
6170 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6171 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6172
6173 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6174 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6175 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6176 [Ben Laurie]
6177
6178 *) Add new functions
6179 ERR_peek_last_error
6180 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6181 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6182 These are similar to
6183 ERR_peek_error
6184 ERR_peek_error_line
6185 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6186 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6187 still in the error queue.
6188 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6189
6190 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6191 like:
6192 default_algorithms = ALL
6193 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6194 [Steve Henson]
6195
6196 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6197 [Steve Henson]
6198
6199 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6200 [Steve Henson]
6201
6202 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6203 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6204 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6205 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6206
6207 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6208 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6209
6210 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6211 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6212
6213 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6214 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6215 [Bodo Moeller]
6216
6217 *) New functions/macros
6218
6219 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6220 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6221 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6222 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6223
6224 to request calling a callback function
6225
6226 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6227 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6228
6229 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6230 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6231 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6232 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6233 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6234 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6235 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6236 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6237 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6238 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6239
6240 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6241 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6242 [Bodo Moeller]
6243
6244 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6245 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6246 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6247 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6248 the configuration scripts.
6249
6250 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6251 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6252 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6253
6254 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6255 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6256
6257 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6258 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6259 when reusing an existing buffer.
6260 [Bodo Moeller]
6261
6262 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6263 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6264 [Steve Henson]
6265
6266 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6267 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6268 [Ben Laurie]
6269
6270 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6271 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6272 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6273 has the same effect.
6274 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6275
6276 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6277 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6278 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6279 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6280 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6281 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6282 exception.
6283
6284 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6285 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6286 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6287 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6288
6289 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6290 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6291 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6292 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6293
6294 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6295 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6296 won't work.
6297
6298 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6299 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6300 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6301 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6302 default), and then completely removed.
6303 [Richard Levitte]
6304
6305 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6306 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6307 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6308 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6309 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6310 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6311 particular extension is supported.
6312 [Steve Henson]
6313
6314 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6315 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6316 [Steve Henson]
6317
6318 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6319 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6320 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6321 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6322 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6323 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6324 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6325 requires the destination to be valid.
6326
6327 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6328 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6329 [Steve Henson]
6330
6331 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6332 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6333 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6334 [Bodo Moeller]
6335
6336 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6337 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6340 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6341 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6342 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6343 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6344 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6345 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6346 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6347 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6348 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6349 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6350 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6351 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6352 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6353 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6354 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6355 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6356 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6357 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6358 the new code.
6359 [Geoff Thorpe]
6360
6361 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6365 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6366 become part of libeay.num as well.
6367 [Richard Levitte]
6368
6369 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6370 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6371 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6372 false once a handshake has been completed.
6373 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6374 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6375 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6376 client has followed the request.)
6377 [Bodo Moeller]
6378
6379 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6380 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6381 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6382 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6383
6384 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6385 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6386 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6387 [Bodo Moeller]
6388
6389 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6390 [Steve Henson]
6391
6392 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6393 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6394 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6395 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6396
6397 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6398 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6399 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6400
6401 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6402 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6403 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6404 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6405 [Geoff Thorpe]
6406
6407 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6408 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6409 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6410 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6411 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6412 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6413 [Geoff Thorpe]
6414
6415 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6416 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6417 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6418 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6419 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6420 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6421 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6422 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6423 [Geoff Thorpe]
6424
6425 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6426 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6427 [Geoff Thorpe]
6428
6429 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6430 [Ben Laurie]
6431
6432 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6433 md_data void pointer.
6434 [Ben Laurie]
6435
6436 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6437 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6438 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6439 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6440 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6441 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6442 [Ben Laurie]
6443
6444 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6445 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6446 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6447 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6448 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6449 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6450 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6451 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6452 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6453 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6454 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6455 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6456 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6457 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6458 rather than letting it slide.
6459
6460 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6461 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6462 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6463 [Geoff Thorpe]
6464
6465 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6466 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6467 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6468 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6469 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6470 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6471 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6472 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6473 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6474 [Geoff Thorpe]
6475
6476 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6477 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6478 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6479 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6480 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6481
6482 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6483 [Geoff Thorpe]
6484
6485 *) Add EVP test program.
6486 [Ben Laurie]
6487
6488 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6489 [Ben Laurie]
6490
6491 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6492 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6493 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6494 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6495 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6499 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6500 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6501 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6502 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6503 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6504 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6505
6506 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6507 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6508 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6509 Usage example:
6510
6511 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6512
6513 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6514 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6515 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6516 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6517 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6518
6519 [Ben Laurie]
6520
6521 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6522 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6523 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6524 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6525 anyway): E.g.,
6526
6527 des_key_schedule ks;
6528
6529 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6530 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6531
6532 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6533 [Ben Laurie]
6534
6535 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6536 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6537 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6538 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6539 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6540 functions prevents this.
6541 [Steve Henson]
6542
6543 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6544 [Ben Laurie]
6545
6546 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6547 correct _ecb suffix.
6548 [Ben Laurie]
6549
6550 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6551 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6552 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6553 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6554 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6555 [Steve Henson]
6556
6557 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6558 [Richard Levitte]
6559
6560 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6561 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6562 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6563 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6564
6565 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6566 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6567
6568 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6569 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6570 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6571 via Richard Levitte]
6572
6573 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6574 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6575 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6576 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6577 [Geoff Thorpe]
6578
6579 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6580 Before:
6581 encrypt
6582 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6583 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

6595 [Ben Laurie]
6596
6597 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6598 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6599
6600 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6601 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6602 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6603 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6604 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6605 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6606 [Steve Henson]
6607
6608 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6609 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6610 [Richard Levitte]
6611
6612 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6613 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6614 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6615 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6616
6617 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6618 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6619 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6620 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6621 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6622 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6623 callback.
6624 [Richard Levitte]
6625
6626 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6627 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6628 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6629 and interrupts/cancellations.
6630 [Richard Levitte]
6631
6632 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6633 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6634 [Steve Henson]
6635
6636 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6637 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6638 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6639
6640 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6641 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6642 kind of callback.
6643 [Richard Levitte]
6644
6645 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6646 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6647 than this minimum value is recommended.
6648 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6649
6650 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6651 that are easily reachable.
6652 [Richard Levitte]
6653
6654 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6655 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6656
6657 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6658
6659 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6660 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6661 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6662 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6666 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6667 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6671 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6672 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6673 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6674 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6675 internally such as S/MIME.
6676
6677 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6678 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6679 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6680
6681 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6682 applications.
6683 [Steve Henson]
6684
6685 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6686 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6687 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6688 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6689
6690 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6691
6692 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6693
6694 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6695 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6696 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6697 handling.
6698 [Steve Henson]
6699
6700 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6701 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6702 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6703 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6704 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6705 a window system and the like.
6706 [Richard Levitte]
6707
6708 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6709 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6710 [Geoff]
6711
6712 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6713 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6714 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6715 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6716 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6717 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6718 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6719 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6720 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6721 ENGINE structure.
6722 [Geoff]
6723
6724 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6725 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6726 tag cache.
6727 [Steve Henson]
6728
6729 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6730 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6731 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6732 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6733 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6734 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6735 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6736 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6737 [Geoff]
6738
6739 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6740 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6741 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6742 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6743 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6744 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6745 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6746 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6747 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6748 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6749 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6750 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6751 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6752 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6753 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6754 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6755 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6756 [Geoff]
6757
6758 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6759 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6760 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6761 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6762 internal engine_int.h header.
6763 [Geoff]
6764
6765 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6766 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6767 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6768 modify their own ones).
6769 [Geoff]
6770
6771 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6772 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6773 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6774 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6775 later on via ctrl() commands.
6776 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6777 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6778 structural references.
6779 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6780 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6781 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6782 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6783 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6784 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6785 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6786 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6787 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6788 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6789 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6790 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6791 [Geoff]
6792
6793 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6794 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6795 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6796 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6797 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6798 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6799 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6800 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6801 [Bodo Moeller]
6802
6803 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6804 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6805 [Steve Henson]
6806
6807 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6808 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6809 [Steve Henson]
6810
6811 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6812 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6813 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6814 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6815 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6816 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6817 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6818 [Steve Henson]
6819
6820 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6821 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6822 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6823 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6824 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6825
6826 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6827 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6828 generator).
6829 [Bodo Moeller]
6830
6831 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6832
6833 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6834 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6835 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6836
6837 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6838 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6839
6840 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6841 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6842 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6843
6844 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6845 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6846
6847 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6848 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6849
6850 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6851
6852 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6853 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6854 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6855 [Bodo Moeller]
6856
6857 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6858 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6859 [Richard Levitte]
6860
6861 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6862 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6863 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6864 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6865 is 40 of more characters long.
6866 [Steve Henson]
6867
6868 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6869 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6870 pointers.
6871 [Steve Henson]
6872
6873 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6874 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6875 [Bodo Moeller]
6876
6877 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6878 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6879 might.
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6883
6884 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6885 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6886
6887 ASN1 error codes
6888 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6889 ...
6890 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6891 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6892 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6893 ...
6894 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6895 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6896
6897 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6898 [Bodo Moeller]
6899
6900 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6901 suffices.
6902 [Bodo Moeller]
6903
6904 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6905 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6906 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6907 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6908 and
6909 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6910
6911 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6912 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6913
6914 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6915 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6916 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6917 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6918 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6919 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6920
6921 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6922 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6923
6924 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6925 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6926
6927 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6928 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6929
6930 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6931 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6932 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6933 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6934
6935 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6936 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6937
6938 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6939 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6940
6941 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6942 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6943 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6944 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6945 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6946 [Richard Levitte]
6947
6948 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6949 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6950 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6951 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6955 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6956 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6957 trust settings.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6961 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6962 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6963 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6964 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6965 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6966 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6967 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6968 ocsp utility.
6969 [Steve Henson]
6970
6971 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6972 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6973 [Steve Henson]
6974
6975 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6976 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6977 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6978 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6979 [Steve Henson]
6980
6981 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6982 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6983 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6984 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6985 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6986 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6987 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6988 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6989 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6990 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6991 [Steve Henson]
6992
6993 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6994 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6995 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6996 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6997 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6998 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6999 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7000 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7001
7002 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7003 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7004 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7005 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7006 [Richard Levitte]
7007
7008 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7009 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7010 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7011 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7012 opensslconf.h.
7013 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7014 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7015 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7016 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7017 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7018 what is available.
7019 [Richard Levitte]
7020
7021 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7022 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7023 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7024 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7025 auto incremented.
7026 [Steve Henson]
7027
7028 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7029 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7030 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7034 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7035 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7036 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7037 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7038 [Steve Henson]
7039
7040 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7041 [Steve Henson]
7042
7043 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7044 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7045 option to ocsp utility.
7046 [Steve Henson]
7047
7048 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7049 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7050 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7051 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7052 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7053 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7054 the request is nonce-less.
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7058 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7059 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7060 [Bodo Moeller]
7061
7062 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7063 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7064 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7068 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7069 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7070 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7071 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7072 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7073
7074 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7075 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7076 appear to exist.
7077 [Steve Henson]
7078
7079 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7080 additional certificates supplied.
7081 [Steve Henson]
7082
7083 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7084 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7085 signature against.
7086 [Richard Levitte]
7087
7088 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7089 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7090 AES OIDs.
7091
7092 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7093 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7094 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7095 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7096 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7097 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7098 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7099 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7100 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7101
7102 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7103 request to response.
7104 [Steve Henson]
7105
7106 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7107 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7108 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7109 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7110 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7111 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7112 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7113 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7114 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7115 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7116 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7117 [Steve Henson]
7118
7119 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7120 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7121 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7122 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7126 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7127
7128 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7129 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7130 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7131 [Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7134 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7135 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7136 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7137 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7138
7139 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7140 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7141 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7142 [Steve Henson]
7143
7144 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7145 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7146 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7147 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7148 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7149 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7150 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7151 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7152
7153 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7154 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7155 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7156 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7157 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7158 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7162 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7163 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7164 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7165 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7166 printout format cleaned up.
7167 [Steve Henson]
7168
7169 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7170 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7171 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7172 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7173 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7174 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7175 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7176 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7180 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7181 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7182 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7183 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7184 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7185 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7186 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7187 [Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7190 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7191 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7192 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7193 section to use.
7194 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7195
7196 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7197 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7198 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7199 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7200 [Steve Henson]
7201
7202 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7203 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7204 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7205 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7206 in the index file.
7207 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7208
7209 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7210 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7211 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7212 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7213
7214 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7215 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7216
7217 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7218 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7219 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7220 [Steve Henson]
7221
7222 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7223 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7224 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7225 [Bodo Moeller]
7226
7227 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7228 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7229 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7230 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7231 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7232 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7233 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7234 functions are provided:
7235
7236 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7237 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7238 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7239 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7240
7241 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7242 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7243 extended allocation function is enabled.
7244 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7245 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7246 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7247
7248 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7249 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7250 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7251 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7252 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7253 [Geoff Thorpe]
7254
7255 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7256 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7257 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7258 be queried.
7259 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7260 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7261 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7262 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7263
7264 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7265 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7266 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7267 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7268 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7269 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7270 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7271 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7272 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7273 [Richard Levitte]
7274
7275 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7276 provide utility functions which an application needing
7277 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7278 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7279 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7280
7281 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7282 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7283 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7284 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7285 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7286 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7287 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7288 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7289 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7290
7291 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7292 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7293 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7294 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7295 [Steve Henson]
7296
7297 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7298 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7299 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7300 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7301 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7302 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7303 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7304 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7305 will be added elsewhere.
7306 [Steve Henson]
7307
7308 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7309 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7310 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7311 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7312 [Steve Henson]
7313
7314 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7315 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7316 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7317 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7318 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7319 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7320 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7321 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7322 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7323 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7324 to produce the required SET OF.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7328 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7329 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7330 [Richard Levitte]
7331
7332 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7333 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7334 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7335 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7336 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7337 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7338 [Steve Henson]
7339
7340 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7341 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7342 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7343 [Steve Henson]
7344
7345 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7346 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7347 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7348 [Richard Levitte]
7349
7350 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7351 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7352 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7353 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7354 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7355 [Steve Henson]
7356
7357 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7358 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7359 [Steve Henson]
7360
7361 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7362 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7363 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7364 certifcates and CRLs.
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7368 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7369 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7370 [Steve Henson]
7371
7372 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7373 entries for variables.
7374 [Steve Henson]
7375
7376 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7377 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7378 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7379 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7380 [Bodo Moeller]
7381
7382 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7383 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7384 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7385 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7386 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7387 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7388 [Bodo Moeller]
7389
7390 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7391 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7392
7393 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7394 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7395 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7399 print routines.
7400 [Steve Henson]
7401
7402 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7403 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7404 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7405 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7406 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7407 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7408 [Steve Henson]
7409
7410 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7411 [Steve Henson]
7412
7413 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7414 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7415 for now but they will eventually go away.
7416 [Steve Henson]
7417
7418 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7419 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7420 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7421 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7422 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7423 has also been converted to the new form.
7424 [Steve Henson]
7425
7426 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7427 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7428 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7429 for negative moduli.
7430 [Bodo Moeller]
7431
7432 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7433 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7434 [Bodo Moeller]
7435
7436 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7437 set.
7438 [Bodo Moeller]
7439
7440 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7441 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7442 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7443 type-specific callbacks.
7444 [Geoff Thorpe]
7445
7446 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7447 RFC 2712.
7448 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7449 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7450
7451 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7452 in sections depending on the subject.
7453 [Richard Levitte]
7454
7455 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7456 Windows.
7457 [Richard Levitte]
7458
7459 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7460 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7461 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7462 be handled deterministically).
7463 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7464
7465 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7466 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7467 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7468 [Bodo Moeller]
7469
7470 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7471 [Bodo Moeller]
7472
7473 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7474 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7475 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7476 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7477 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7478 [Bodo Moeller]
7479
7480 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7481 sign of the number in question.
7482
7483 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7484
7485 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7486 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7487 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7488 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7489 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7490 [Bodo Moeller]
7491
7492 *) New function BN_swap.
7493 [Bodo Moeller]
7494
7495 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7496 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7497 results on negative inputs.
7498 [Bodo Moeller]
7499
7500 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7501 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7502 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7503 [Bodo Moeller]
7504
7505 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7506 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7507 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7508 and add new functions:
7509
7510 BN_nnmod
7511 BN_mod_sqr
7512 BN_mod_add
7513 BN_mod_add_quick
7514 BN_mod_sub
7515 BN_mod_sub_quick
7516 BN_mod_lshift1
7517 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7518 BN_mod_lshift
7519 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7520
7521 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7522
7523 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7524 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7525
7526 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7527 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7528 be reduced modulo m.
7529 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7530
7531 #if 0
7532 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7533 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7534 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7535
7536 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7537 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7538 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7539 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7540 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7541 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7542 differing sizes.
7543 [Richard Levitte]
7544 #endif
7545
7546 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7547 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7548 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7549 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7550 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7551
7552 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7553 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7554 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7555 cause any problems.
7556 [Bodo Moeller]
7557
7558 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7559 [Richard Levitte]
7560
7561 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7562 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7563 [Richard Levitte]
7564
7565 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7566 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7567 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7568 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7569 time)
7570 [Richard Levitte]
7571
7572 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7573 [Richard Levitte]
7574
7575 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7576 [Richard Levitte]
7577
7578 *) Add the following functions:
7579
7580 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7581 ENGINE_load_chil()
7582 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7583 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7584 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7585
7586 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7587 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7588 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7589 libraries unless it's really needed.
7590
7591 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7592 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7593 declarations (they differed!).
7594 [Richard Levitte]
7595
7596 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7597 [Richard Levitte]
7598
7599 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7600 [Richard Levitte]
7601
7602 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7603 [Bodo Moeller]
7604
7605 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7606 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7607 [Richard Levitte]
7608
7609 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7610 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7611 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7612
7613 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7614 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7615 [Richard Levitte]
7616
7617 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7618 [Richard Levitte]
7619
7620 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7621 [Richard Levitte]
7622
7623 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7624 [Ben Laurie]
7625
7626 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7627 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7628 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7629
7630 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7631 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7632 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7633 different shared library filenames on each system.
7634 [Geoff Thorpe]
7635
7636 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7637 [Richard Levitte]
7638
7639 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7640 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7641 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7642 of two sections.
7643 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7644
7645 *) NCONF changes.
7646 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7647 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7648 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7649 binary backward compatibility.
7650 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7651 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7652 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7653 LDAP server.
7654 [Richard Levitte]
7655
7656 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7657 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7658 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7659 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7660 this case.
7661 [Steve Henson]
7662
7663 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7664 [Ben Laurie]
7665
7666 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7667 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7668 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7669 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7670 set.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7674 [Richard Levitte]
7675
7676 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7677
7678 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7679 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7680 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7681
7682 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7683
7684 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7685
7686 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7687 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7688 [Steve Henson]
7689
7690 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7691
7692 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7693
7694 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7695 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7696
7697 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7698 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7699
7700 [Steve Henson]
7701
7702 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7703 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7704 specifications.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7708 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7709 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7710 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7711
7712 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7713 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7714 [Richard Levitte]
7715
7716 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7717
7718 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7719 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7720 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7721 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7722 [Bodo Moeller]
7723
7724 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7725 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7726 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7727 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7728 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7729
7730 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7731 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7732 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7733 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7734 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7735 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7736 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7737 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7738 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7739 [Bodo Moeller]
7740
7741 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7742
7743 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7744 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7745 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7746 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7747 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7748
7749 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7750 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7751 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7752
7753 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7754
7755 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7756 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7757 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7758 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7759 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7760 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7761 [Geoff Thorpe]
7762
7763 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7764 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7765 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7766 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7767 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7769
7770 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7771 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7772 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7773
7774 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7775 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7776 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7777 EVP_cleanup().
7778 [Richard Levitte]
7779
7780 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7781 being properly terminated.
7782 [Richard Levitte]
7783
7784 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7785 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7786 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7787 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7788
7789 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7790 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7791 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7792 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7793 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7794 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7795 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7796 change.
7797 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7798
7799 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7800 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7801 [Bodo Moeller]
7802
7803 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7804 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7805 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7806 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7807 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7808 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7809 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7810 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7811
7812 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7813 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7814 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7815 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7816 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7817
7818 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7819 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7820 [Steve Henson]
7821
7822 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7823
7824 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7825 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7826 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7827
7828 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7829
7830 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7831 and get fix the header length calculation.
7832 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7833 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7834 Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7837 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7838 assertions could call abort()).
7839 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7840
7841 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7842
7843 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7844 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7845 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7846 supplied buffer.
7847 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7848
7849 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7850 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7851 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7852 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7853
7854 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7855 [Nils Larsch]
7856
7857 *) New option
7858 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7859 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7860 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7861
7862 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7863 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7864 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7865 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7866 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7867 applications.
7868 [Bodo Moeller]
7869
7870 *) Changes in security patch:
7871
7872 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7873 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7874 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7875 F30602-01-2-0537.
7876
7877 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7878 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7879 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7880 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7881 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7882
7883 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7884 happen in practice.
7885 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7886
7887 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7888 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7889 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7890
7891 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7892 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7893 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7894
7895 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7896 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7897 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7898
7899 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7900
7901 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7902 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7903 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7904
7905 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7906 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7907
7908 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7909 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7910 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7911 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7912 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7913 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7915
7916 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7917 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7918 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7919 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7920 [Bodo Moeller]
7921
7922 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7923 [Bodo Moeller]
7924
7925 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7926 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7927 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7928 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7929 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7930 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7931
7932 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7933 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7934 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7935 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7936 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7937 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7938
7939 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7940 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7941 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7942 BN_generate_prime().)
7943
7944 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7945 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7946 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7947 better.
7948 [Bodo Moeller]
7949
7950 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7951 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7952 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7953
7954 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7955 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7956 when using non-blocking I/O.
7957 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7958
7959 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7960 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7961
7962 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7963 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7964 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7965
7966 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7967 configuration for the versions before that.
7968 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7969
7970 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7971 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7972 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7973 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7974 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7975
7976 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7977 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7978 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7979 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7980
7981 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7982 value is 0.
7983 [Richard Levitte]
7984
7985 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7986 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7987 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7988
7989 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7990 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7991
7992 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7993 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7994 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7995 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7996 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7997 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7998 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7999 session cache.
8000
8001 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8002 using a local variable.
8003 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8004
8005 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8006 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8007 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8008
8009 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8010 [Richard Levitte]
8011
8012 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8013 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8014
8015 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8016 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8017 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8018
8019 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8020
8021 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8022 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8023 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8024 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8025 [Bodo Moeller]
8026
8027 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8028 present.
8029 [Steve Henson]
8030
8031 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8032 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8033 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8034 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8035 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8036
8037 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8038 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8039 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8040
8041 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8042 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8043 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8044
8045 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8046 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8047 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8048 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8049
8050 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8051 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8052 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8053 modules).
8054 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8055
8056 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8057 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8058 from 0.9.7.
8059 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8060
8061 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8062 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8063 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8064 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8065
8066 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8067 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8068 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8069 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8070
8071 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8072 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8073
8074 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8075 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8076 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8077 [Bodo Moeller]
8078
8079 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8080 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8081 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8082 become invalid.
8083 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8084
8085 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8086 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8087 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8088 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8089 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8090 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8091 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8092 [Bodo Moeller]
8093
8094 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8095 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8096 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8097 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8098
8099 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8100 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8101 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8102 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8103 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8104 the client will at least see that alert.
8105 [Bodo Moeller]
8106
8107 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8108 correctly.
8109 [Bodo Moeller]
8110
8111 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8112 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8113 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8114
8115 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8116 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8117 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8118 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8119 HelloRequest.
8120
8121 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8122 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8123 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8124
8125 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8126 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8127 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8128 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8129 may leak via logfiles.)
8130
8131 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8132 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8133 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8134 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8135 the legal range.
8136 [Bodo Moeller]
8137
8138 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8139 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8140 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8141
8142 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8143 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8144 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8145 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8146 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8147 [Bodo Moeller]
8148
8149 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8150 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8151
8152 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8153 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8154 followed by modular reduction.
8155 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8156
8157 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8158 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8159 [Bodo Moeller]
8160
8161 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8162 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8163 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8164 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8165 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8166
8167 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8168 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8169
8170 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8171 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8172 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8173
8174 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8175 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8176 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8177 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8178 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8179 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8180 automatically.
8181 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8182
8183 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8184 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8185 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8186 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8187 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8188
8189 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8190 [Andy Polyakov]
8191
8192 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8193 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8194 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8195 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8196 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8197 to allow the necessary settings.
8198 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8199
8200 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8201 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8202 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8203 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8204 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8205
8206 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8207 dh->length and always used
8208
8209 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8210
8211 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8212 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8213 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8214 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8215 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8216 dh->length.
8217
8218 So switch back to
8219
8220 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8221
8222 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8223 otherwise.
8224 [Bodo Moeller]
8225
8226 *) In
8227
8228 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8229 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8230 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8231 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8232
8233 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8234 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8235 always reject numbers >= n.
8236 [Bodo Moeller]
8237
8238 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8239 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8240 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8241 variable) is not atomic.
8242 [Bodo Moeller]
8243
8244 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8245 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8246 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8247 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8248
8249 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8250 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8251
8252 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8253 little-endian MIPS.
8254 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8255
8256 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8257 [Richard Levitte]
8258
8259 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8260
8261 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8262 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8263 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8264 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8265 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8266 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8267 to traverse all of 'state'.
8268
8269 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8270 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8271 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8272
8273 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8274 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8275
8276 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8277 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8278 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8279 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8280 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8281 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8282 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8283 further strengthens the PRNG.
8284 [Bodo Moeller]
8285
8286 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8287 [Andy Polyakov]
8288
8289 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8290 an error message in this case.
8291 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8292
8293 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8294 [Steve Henson]
8295
8296 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8297 positive and less than q.
8298 [Bodo Moeller]
8299
8300 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8301 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8302 that itself.
8303 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8304
8305 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8306 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8307 [Bodo Moeller]
8308
8309 *) Fix OAEP check.
8310 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8311
8312 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8313 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8314 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8315 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8316 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8317 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8318 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8319 paper.)
8320
8321 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8322 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8323 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8324 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8325
8326 Both problems are now fixed.
8327 [Bodo Moeller]
8328
8329 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8330 (previously it was 1024).
8331 [Bodo Moeller]
8332
8333 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8334 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8335 [Steve Henson]
8336
8337 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8338 [Steve Henson]
8339
8340 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8341 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8342 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8343 [Steve Henson]
8344
8345 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8346 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8347 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8348 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8349 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8350 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8351 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8352 environment variables.
8353
8354 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8355 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8356 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8357 [Bodo Moeller]
8358
8359 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8360 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8361 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8362 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8363 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8364 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8365 [Bodo Moeller]
8366
8367 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8368 versions of 'test'.
8369 [Bodo Moeller]
8370
8371 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8372
8373 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8374 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8375
8376 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8377 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8378 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8379 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8380 CygWin.
8381 [Richard Levitte]
8382
8383 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8384 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8385 amount of data available.
8386 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8387 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8388
8389 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8390 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8391 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8392 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8393 [Bodo Moeller]
8394
8395 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8396 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8397 and UnixWare.
8398 [Richard Levitte]
8399
8400 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8401 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8402 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8403 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8404 [Ulf Moeller]
8405
8406 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8407 [Andy Polyakov]
8408
8409 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8410 [Richard Levitte]
8411
8412 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8413 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8414 [Steve Henson]
8415 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8416
8417 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8418 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8419 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8420 (but broken) behaviour.
8421 [Steve Henson]
8422
8423 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8424 it when found.
8425 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8426
8427 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8428 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8429 [Bodo Moeller]
8430
8431 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8432 did not exist.
8433 [Bodo Moeller]
8434
8435 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8436 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8437
8438 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8439 [Richard Levitte]
8440
8441 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8442 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8443 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8444
8445 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8446 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8447 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8448 [Steve Henson]
8449
8450 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8451 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8452 [Ulf Moeller]
8453
8454 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8455 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8456
8457 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8458
8459 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8460
8461 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8462 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8463 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8464 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8465 [Bodo Moeller]
8466
8467 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8468 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8469
8470 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8471 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8472 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8473
8474 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8475 was empty.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8478
8479 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8480 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8481 but the code is actually correct.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8485 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8486 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8487 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8488 and leaves the highest bit random.
8489 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8490
8491 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8492 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8493 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8494 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8495 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8496 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8497 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8498 [Bodo Moeller]
8499
8500 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8501 [Ulf Moeller]
8502
8503 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8504 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8505 [Steve Henson]
8506
8507 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8508 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8509 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8510 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8511 headers.
8512 [Richard Levitte]
8513
8514 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8515 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8516 and break the signature.
8517 [Steve Henson]
8518 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8519
8520 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8521 DH ciphersuites.
8522 [Steve Henson]
8523
8524 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8525 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8526 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8527 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8528 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8529 [Bodo Moeller]
8530
8531 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8532 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8533
8534 *) ./config script fixes.
8535 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8536
8537 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8538 [Bodo Moeller]
8539
8540 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8541 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8542 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8543 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8544 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8545
8546 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8547 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8548 [Bodo Moeller]
8549
8550 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8551 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8552 [Steve Henson]
8553
8554 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8555 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8556 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8557 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8558
8559 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8560 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8561
8562 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8563 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8564 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8565 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8566 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8567
8568 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8569 [Bodo Moeller]
8570
8571 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8572 [Ulf Möller]
8573
8574 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8575 [Ulf Möller]
8576
8577 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8578 [Bodo Moeller]
8579
8580 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8581 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8582 [Bodo Moeller]
8583
8584 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8585 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8586 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8587 result of the server certificate verification.)
8588 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8589
8590 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8591 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8592 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8593 [Bodo Moeller]
8594
8595 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8596 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8597 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8598 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8599 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8600 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8601 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8602 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8603 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8604 [Bodo Moeller]
8605
8606 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8607 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8608 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8609 happening the other way round.
8610 [Geoff Thorpe]
8611
8612 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8613 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8614 [Bodo Moeller]
8615
8616 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8617 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8618 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8619 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8620 [Richard Levitte]
8621
8622 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8623 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8624
8625 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8626
8627 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8628 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8629 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8630 that.
8631
8632 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8633
8634 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8635
8636 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8637 static ones.
8638 [Richard Levitte]
8639
8640 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8641
8642 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8643 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8644 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8645 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8646 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8647
8648 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8649 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8650 matter what.
8651 [Richard Levitte]
8652
8653 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8655
8656 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8657
8658 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8659 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8660 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8661 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8662 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8663 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8664 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8665 by the Finished messages.
8666 [Bodo Moeller]
8667
8668 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8669 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8670
8671 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8672 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8673 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8674 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8675 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8676 appropriately.
8677 [Steve Henson]
8678
8679 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8680 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8681 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8682 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8683 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8684 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8685 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8686 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8687 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8688 together.
8689 [Steve Henson]
8690
8691 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8692 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8693 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8694 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8695
8696 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8697 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8698 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8699 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8700 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8701 the answer.
8702
8703 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8704 been tested well enough.
8705 [Richard Levitte]
8706
8707 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8708 it can return incorrect results.
8709 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8710 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8711 [Bodo Moeller]
8712
8713 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8714 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8715 include zero length content when signing messages.
8716 [Steve Henson]
8717
8718 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8719 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8720 [Bodo Möller]
8721
8722 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8723 [Richard Levitte]
8724
8725 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8726 wrong sign.
8727 [Ulf Möller]
8728
8729 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8730 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8731 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8732 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8733 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8734 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8735 [Richard Levitte]
8736
8737 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8738 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8739
8740 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8741 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8742
8743 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8744 random number < q in the DSA library.
8745 [Ulf Möller]
8746
8747 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8748 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8749 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8750 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8751 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8752 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8753 just makes things more complicated.)
8754 [Bodo Moeller]
8755
8756 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8757 from EGD.
8758 [Ben Laurie]
8759
8760 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8761 work better on such systems.
8762 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8763
8764 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8765 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8766 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8767 [Steve Henson]
8768
8769 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8770 if there was more than one signature.
8771 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8772
8773 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8774 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8775 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8776 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8777 [Richard Levitte]
8778
8779 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8780 rather than always using the current time.
8781 [Steve Henson]
8782
8783 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8784 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8785 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8786 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8787 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8788 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8789
8790 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8791 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8792
8793 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8794
8795 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8796 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8797 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8798 the same hash value.
8799
8800 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8801 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8802 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8803 with X509_STORE internally.
8804
8805 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8806 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8807
8808 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8809 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8810 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8811 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8812 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8813 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8814 entirely (maybe later...).
8815
8816 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8817
8818 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8819 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8820 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8821 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8822 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8823 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8824 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8825 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8826
8827 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8828 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8829
8830 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8831 to customise the verify behaviour.
8832 [Steve Henson]
8833
8834 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8835 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8836 [Steve Henson]
8837
8838 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8839 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8840 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8841 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8842 request is improperly encoded.
8843 [Steve Henson]
8844
8845 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8846 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8847 BIO_write(b, ...).
8848
8849 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8850 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8851
8852 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8853 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8854 words set to zero.)
8855 [Bodo Moeller]
8856
8857 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8858 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8859 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8860 [Bodo Moeller]
8861
8862 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8863 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8864 BIO/fp routines also added.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8868 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8869
8870 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8871 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8872 demos/state_machine.
8873 [Ben Laurie]
8874
8875 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8876 generation and verification.
8877 [Steve Henson]
8878
8879 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8880 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8881 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8882 encode and decode it manually.
8883 [Steve Henson]
8884
8885 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8886 compile under VC++.
8887 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8888
8889 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8890 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8891 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8892 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8893
8894 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8895 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8896 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8897 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8898 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8899 [Steve Henson]
8900
8901 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8902 [Richard Levitte]
8903
8904 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8905 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8906 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8907
8908 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8909 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8910 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8911 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8912 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8913 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8914 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8915 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8916
8917 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8918 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8919
8920 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8921
8922 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8923 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8924 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8925
8926 [Richard Levitte]
8927
8928 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8929 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8930 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8931 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8932 [Richard Levitte]
8933
8934 *) MD4 implemented.
8935 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8936
8937 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8938 [Richard Levitte]
8939
8940 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8941 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8942 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8943 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8944 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8945 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8946 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8947 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8948 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8949 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8950 short or long names are found.
8951 [Steve Henson]
8952
8953 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8954 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8955
8956 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8957 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8958 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8959 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8960
8961 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8962 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8963 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8964 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8965 [Bodo Moeller]
8966
8967 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8968 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8969 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8970 [Richard Levitte]
8971
8972 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8973 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8974 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8975 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8976 to allow the various flags to be set.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8980 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8981 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8982 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8983 dates to be checked.
8984 [Steve Henson]
8985
8986 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8987 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8988 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8989 [Steve Henson]
8990
8991 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8992 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8993 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8994 [Steve Henson]
8995
8996 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8997 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8998 [Bodo Moeller]
8999
9000 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9001 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9002 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9003 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9004 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9005 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9006 [Richard Levitte]
9007
9008 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9009 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9010 Random Numbers.
9011 [Ulf Möller]
9012
9013 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9014 DSA key.
9015 [Steve Henson]
9016
9017 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9018 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9019 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9020 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9021 form signing output easier to verify.
9022 [Steve Henson]
9023
9024 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9025 [Steve Henson]
9026
9027 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9028 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9029 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9030 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9031 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9032 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9033 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9034 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9035 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9036 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9037 [Steve Henson]
9038
9039 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9040
9041 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9042 the syntax given in objects.README.
9043 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9044 obj_mac.h.
9045 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9046 obj_mac.h.
9047
9048 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9049 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9050 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9051 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9052 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9053 consistent name changes.
9054 [Richard Levitte]
9055
9056 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9057 [Bodo Moeller]
9058
9059 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9060 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9061 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9062 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9063 [Richard Levitte]
9064
9065 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9066 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9067 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9068 of safestack.h .
9069 [Steve Henson]
9070
9071 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9072 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9073 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9074 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9075 [Steve Henson]
9076
9077 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9078 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9079 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9080 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9081 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9082 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9083 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9084 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9085 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9086 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9087 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9088 [Steve Henson]
9089
9090 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9091 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9092 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9093 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9094 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9095 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9096 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9097 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9098 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9099 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9100 [Steve Henson]
9101
9102 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9103 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9104 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9105 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9106
9107 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9108 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9109 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9110 omit any duplicate addresses.
9111 [Steve Henson]
9112
9113 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9114 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9115 [Bodo Moeller]
9116
9117 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9118 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9119 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9120 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9121 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9122 [Bodo Moeller]
9123
9124 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9125 software:
9126 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9127 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9128 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9129 Free => OPENSSL_free
9130 [Richard Levitte]
9131
9132 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9133 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9134 [Bodo Moeller]
9135
9136 *) CygWin32 support.
9137 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9138
9139 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9140 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9141 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9142 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9143 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9144 approach.
9145 [Geoff Thorpe]
9146
9147 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9148 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9149 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9150 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9151 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9152 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9153 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9154 [Geoff Thorpe]
9155
9156 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9157 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9158 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9159 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9160 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9161 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9162 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9163 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9164 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9165 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9166 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9167 [Bodo Moeller]
9168
9169 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9170 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9171 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9172 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9173 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9174
9175 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9176 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9177 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9178 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9179 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9180
9181 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9182 ciphers.
9183
9184 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9185 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9186 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9187 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9188
9189 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9190
9191 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9192 of macros.
9193
9194 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9195 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9196 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9197 flags.
9198
9199 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9200 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9201 any installed hardware versions can.
9202 [Steve Henson]
9203
9204 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9205 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9206 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9207 number.
9208 [Bodo Moeller]
9209
9210 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9211 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9212 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9213 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9214 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9215
9216 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9217 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9218 [Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9221 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9222 [Richard Levitte]
9223
9224 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9225 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9226 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9227 features.
9228 [Steve Henson]
9229
9230 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9231 [Ulf Möller]
9232
9233 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9234 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9235 but no ssl client purpose.
9236 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9237
9238 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9239 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9240 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9241 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9242 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9243 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9244 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9245 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9246 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9247 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9248 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9249 [Steve Henson]
9250
9251 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9252 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9253 be obtained from the error queue.
9254 [Bodo Moeller]
9255
9256 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9257 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9258 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9259 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9260 [Bodo Moeller]
9261
9262 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9263 [Ulf Möller]
9264
9265 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9266 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9267 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9268 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9269 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9270 [Geoff Thorpe]
9271
9272 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9273 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9274 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9275 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9276 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9277 [Geoff Thorpe]
9278
9279 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9280 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9281 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9282 may not be NULL.
9283 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9284
9285 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9286 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9287 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9288 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9289 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9290 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9291 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9292 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9293 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9294 or "the configuration storage API"...
9295
9296 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9297
9298 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9299 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9300
9301 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9302
9303 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9304
9305 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9306 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9307 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9308 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9309 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9310 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9311 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9312
9313 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9314 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9315 [Richard Levitte]
9316
9317 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9318 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9319 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9320 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9321 [Bodo Moeller]
9322
9323 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9324 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9325 them in a portable way.
9326 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9327
9328 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9329
9330 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9331
9332 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9333 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9334
9335 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9336 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9337 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9338 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9339
9340 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9341 was larger than the MD block size.
9342 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9343
9344 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9345 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9346 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9347 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9348 components.
9349 [Steve Henson]
9350
9351 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9352 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9353 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9354
9355 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9356 discouraged.
9357 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9358
9359 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9360 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9361 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9362 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9363 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9364 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9365
9366 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9367 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9368
9369 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9370 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9371 [Bodo Moeller]
9372
9373 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9374 [Bodo Moeller]
9375
9376 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9377 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9378 its own key.
9379 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9380 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9381 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9382 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9383 [Bodo Moeller]
9384
9385 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9386 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9387 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9388 does not suppress any output.
9389 [Richard Levitte]
9390
9391 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9392 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9393 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9394 with all the associated security issues.
9395
9396 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9397 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9398 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9399 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9400 use the value in the default purpose.
9401 [Steve Henson]
9402
9403 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9404 and fix a memory leak.
9405 [Steve Henson]
9406
9407 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9408 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9409 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9410 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9411 [Bodo Moeller]
9412
9413 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9414 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9415 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9416 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9417 [Bodo Moeller]
9418
9419 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9420 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9421 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9422 [Bodo Moeller]
9423
9424 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9425 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9426 [Bodo Moeller]
9427
9428 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9429 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9430 which was free.
9431 [Steve Henson]
9432
9433 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9434 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9435 [Bodo Moeller]
9436
9437 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9438 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9439 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9440 [Bodo Moeller]
9441
9442 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9443 number generation fails.
9444 [Bodo Moeller]
9445
9446 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9447 [Bodo Moeller]
9448
9449 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9450 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9451
9452 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9453 [Ulf Möller]
9454
9455 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9456 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9457
9458 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9459 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9460
9461 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9462
9463 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9464 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9465 [Steve Henson]
9466
9467 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9468 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9469
9470 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9471 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9472 [Ulf Möller]
9473
9474 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9475 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9476 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9477 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9478 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9479 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9480
9481 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9482 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9483 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9484 for example.
9485 [Steve Henson]
9486
9487 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9488 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9489 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9490 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9491 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9492 counter, some don't.)
9493 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9494 counters or duplicate objects.
9495 [Steve Henson]
9496
9497 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9498 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9499 [Steve Henson]
9500
9501 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9502 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9503 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9504
9505 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9506 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9507 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9508 or -rand.
9509 [Ulf Möller]
9510
9511 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9512 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9513 [Steve Henson]
9514
9515 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9516 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9517 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9518 cipher list.
9519 [Steve Henson]
9520
9521 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9522 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9523 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9524 [Steve Henson]
9525
9526 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9527 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9528 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9529 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9530 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9531 should work without changes.
9532 [Richard Levitte]
9533
9534 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9535 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9536 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9537 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9538 must be defined. E.g.,
9539 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9540 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9541 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9542 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9543
9544 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9545 record layer.
9546 [Bodo Moeller]
9547
9548 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9549 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9550 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9551 [Steve Henson]
9552
9553 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9554 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9555 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9556 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9557 [Steve Henson]
9558
9559 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9560 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9561 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9562 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9563 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9564 is prompted for as usual.
9565 [Steve Henson]
9566
9567 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9568 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9569 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9570 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9571
9572 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9573 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9574 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9575 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9576 [Steve Henson]
9577
9578 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9579 [Andy Polyakov]
9580
9581 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9582 of seed file.
9583 [Steve Henson]
9584
9585 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9586 [Bodo Moeller]
9587
9588 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9589 [Steve Henson]
9590
9591 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9592 bits.
9593 [Ulf Möller]
9594
9595 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9596 [Ulf Möller]
9597
9598 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9599 [Andy Polyakov]
9600
9601 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9602 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9603 [Ulf Möller]
9604
9605 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9606 options to produce them.
9607 [Steve Henson]
9608
9609 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9610 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9611 [Ulf Möller]
9612
9613 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9614 for p == 0.
9615 [Ulf Möller]
9616
9617 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9618 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9619 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9620 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9621 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9622 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9623 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9624 [Steve Henson]
9625
9626 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9627 [Steve Henson]
9628
9629 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9630 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9631 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9632 [Bodo Moeller]
9633
9634 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9635 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9636
9637 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9638 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9639 [Ulf Möller]
9640
9641 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9642 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9643 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9644 has already seen).
9645 [Bodo Moeller]
9646
9647 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9648 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9649
9650 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9651 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9652 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9653 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9654 generation becomes much faster.
9655
9656 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9657 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9658 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9659 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9660 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9661 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9662 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9663 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9664 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9665 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9666 [Bodo Moeller]
9667
9668 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9669 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9670 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9671 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9672 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9673 trial division stage.
9674 [Bodo Moeller]
9675
9676 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9677 as ASN1_TIME.
9678 [Steve Henson]
9679
9680 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9681 [Steve Henson]
9682
9683 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9684 [Ulf Möller]
9685
9686 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9687 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9688 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9689 the comments.
9690 [Ulf Möller]
9691
9692 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9693 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9694 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9695 [Bodo Moeller]
9696
9697 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9698 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9699 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9700 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9701
9702 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9703 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9704 [Steve Henson]
9705
9706 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9707 [Ulf Möller]
9708
9709 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9710 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9711 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9712 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9713 [Ulf Möller]
9714
9715 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9716 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9717 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9718 [Ulf Möller]
9719
9720 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9721 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9722 (instead of parameters) in future.
9723 [Steve Henson]
9724
9725 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9726 when a new cipher list is set.
9727 [Steve Henson]
9728
9729 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9730 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9731 wrong.
9732
9733 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9734 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9735 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9736
9737 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9738 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9739 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9740 an error is flagged.
9741
9742 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9743 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9744 the readability was also increased :-)
9745 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9746
9747 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9748 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9749 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9750 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9751 as the root CA.
9752 [Steve Henson]
9753
9754 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9755 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9756 [Steve Henson]
9757
9758 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9759 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9760 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9761 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9762 instead.
9763
9764 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9765 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9766 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9767 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9768 because they handle more complex structures.)
9769 [Steve Henson]
9770
9771 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9772 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9773 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9774 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9775
9776 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9777 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9778 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9779 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9780 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9781 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9782 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9783 [Ulf Möller]
9784
9785 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9786 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9787 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9788 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9789 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9790 [Bodo Moeller]
9791
9792 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9793 [Bodo Moeller]
9794
9795 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9796 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9797 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9798 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9799 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9800 to use this.
9801
9802 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9803 code.
9804 [Steve Henson]
9805
9806 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9807 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9808 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9809 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9810 [Steve Henson]
9811
9812 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9813 [Ulf Möller]
9814
9815 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9816 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9817 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9818 international characters are used.
9819
9820 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9821 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9822 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9823 in ASN1 order.
9824 [Steve Henson]
9825
9826 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9827 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9828 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9829 request.
9830
9831 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9832 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9833 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9834 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9835 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9836 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9837
9838 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9839 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9840 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9841 be handled by the string table functions.
9842
9843 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9844 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9845 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9846 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9847 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9848 types at all.
9849 [Steve Henson]
9850
9851 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9852 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9853 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9854 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9855 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9856
9857 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9858 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9859 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9860 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9861 [Bodo Moeller]
9862
9863 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9864 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9865 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9866 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9867 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9868 SHA1.
9869 [Andy Polyakov]
9870
9871 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9872 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9873 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9874 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9875 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9876 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9877 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9878 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9879
9880 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9881 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9882 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9883 [Steve Henson]
9884
9885 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9886 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9887 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9888 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9889 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9890 support to pkcs8 application.
9891 [Steve Henson]
9892
9893 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9894 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9895 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9896 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9897 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9898 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9899 [Bodo Moeller]
9900
9901 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9902 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9903 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9904 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9905 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9906 consistency.
9907 [Bodo Moeller]
9908
9909 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9910 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9911 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9912 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9913 example.
9914 [Steve Henson]
9915
9916 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9917 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9918 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9919 and any application specific purposes.
9920
9921 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9922 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9923 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9924 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9925 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9926 if the certificate is self signed.
9927 [Steve Henson]
9928
9929 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9930 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9931 [Steve Henson]
9932
9933 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9934 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9935 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9936 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9937 [Steve Henson]
9938
9939 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9940 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9941 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9942 Update documentation.
9943 [Steve Henson]
9944
9945 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9946 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9947 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9948 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9949 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9950 [Steve Henson]
9951
9952 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9953 for details.
9954 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9955
9956 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9957 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9958 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9959 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9960 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9961 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9962 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9963 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9964 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9965 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9966
9967 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9968
9969 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9970 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9971 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9972 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9973 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9974
9975 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9976 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9977 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9978 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9979 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9980 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9981 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9982 request additional information:
9983 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9984 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9985
9986 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9987 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9988 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9989 options.
9990
9991 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9992 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9993
9994 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9995 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9996 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9997
9998 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9999 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10000
10001 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10002 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10003 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10004 algorithm.
10005 [Steve Henson]
10006
10007 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10008 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10009 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10010
10011 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10012 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10013 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10014 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10015 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10016 included in OpenSSL.
10017 [Steve Henson]
10018
10019 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10020 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10021 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10022 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10023 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10024 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10025 [Bodo Moeller]
10026
10027 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10028 PKCS12 structure.
10029 [Steve Henson]
10030
10031 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10032 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10033 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10034 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10035 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10036 structure.
10037 [Steve Henson]
10038
10039 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10040 need initialising.
10041 [Steve Henson]
10042
10043 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10044 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10045 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10046 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10047 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10048 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10049 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10050 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10051 be maintained manually.
10052
10053 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10054 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10055 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10056 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10057 work because people forget to call this function]
10058 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10059 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10060 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10061 [Steve Henson]
10062
10063 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10064 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10065 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10066 should be discouraged from doing it.
10067 [Ben Laurie]
10068
10069 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10070 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10071 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10072 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10073 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10074 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10075 [Steve Henson]
10076
10077 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10078 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10079 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10080
10081 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10082 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10083 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10084
10085 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10086 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10087 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10088 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10089 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10090 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10091
10092 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10093 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10094 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10095
10096 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10097 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10098 and vice versa.
10099
10100 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10101 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10102 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10103 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10104 [Steve Henson]
10105
10106 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10107 [Steve Henson]
10108
10109 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10110 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10111 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10112 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10113 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10114 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10115 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10116 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10117 keys so we should be OK.
10118
10119 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10120 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10121 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10122 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10123 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10124 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10125 stay in the name of compatibility.
10126
10127 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10128 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10129 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10130
10131 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10132 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10133 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10134 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10135 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10136 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10137 supplied key).
10138 [Steve Henson]
10139
10140 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10141 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10142 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10143 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10144 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10145 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10146 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10147 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10148 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10149 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10150 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10151 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10152 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10153 [Steve Henson]
10154
10155 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10156 [Steve Henson]
10157
10158 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10159 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10160 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10161 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10162 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10163 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10164 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10165 openssl verify ss.pem
10166 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10167 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10168 is OK.
10169 [Steve Henson]
10170
10171 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10172 (and add it to external session representation).
10173 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10174 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10175 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10176 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10177 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10178 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10179 security holes.
10180 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10181
10182 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10183 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10184 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10185 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10186
10187 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10188 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10189 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10193 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10194 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10195 code.
10196 [Steve Henson]
10197
10198 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10199 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10200 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10201
10202 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10203 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10204 certificate auxiliary information.
10205 [Steve Henson]
10206
10207 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10208 the 'enc' command.
10209 [Steve Henson]
10210
10211 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10212 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10213 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10214 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10215 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10216 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10217 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10218 [Richard Levitte]
10219
10220 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10221 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10222 [Steve Henson]
10223
10224 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10225 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10226 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10227 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10228 [Steve Henson]
10229
10230 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10231 [Steve Henson]
10232
10233 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10234 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10235 [Steve Henson]
10236
10237 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10238 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10239 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10240 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10241 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10242 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10243 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10244 using the new 'x509' options.
10245
10246 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10247 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10248 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10249 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10250 for all purposes.
10251 [Steve Henson]
10252
10253 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10254 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10255 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10256 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10257 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10258 [Mark Cox]
10259
10260 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10261 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10262 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10263 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10264 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10265 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10266 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10267 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10268 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10269 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10270 [Steve Henson]
10271
10272 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10273 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10274 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10275 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10276 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10277 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10278 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10279 [Steve Henson]
10280
10281 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10282 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10283 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10284 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10285 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10286 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10287 openssl.cnf for more info.
10288 [Steve Henson]
10289
10290 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10291 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10292 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10293 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10294 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10295 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10296 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10297 md should be large enough anyway.
10298 [Bodo Moeller]
10299
10300 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10301 for handling the random seed file.
10302
10303 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10304 ca,
10305 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10306 s_client,
10307 s_server,
10308 x509 (when signing).
10309 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10310 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10311 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10312
10313 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10314 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10315 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10316 that support '-rand'.
10317 [Bodo Moeller]
10318
10319 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10320 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10321 [Bodo Moeller]
10322
10323 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10324 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10325 [Bill Perry]
10326
10327 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10328 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10329 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10330 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10331 is suitable.
10332 [Steve Henson]
10333
10334 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10335 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10336 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10337 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10341 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10342 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10343 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10344 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10345 print out all the purposes.
10346 [Steve Henson]
10347
10348 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10349 functions.
10350 [Steve Henson]
10351
10352 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10353 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10354 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10355 single function call.
10356 [Steve Henson]
10357
10358 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10359 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10360 [Andy Polyakov]
10361
10362 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10363 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10364 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10365 [Steve Henson]
10366
10367 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10368 when producing the local key id.
10369 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10370
10371 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10372 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10373 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10374 "server.pem".
10375 [Steve Henson]
10376
10377 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10378 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10379 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10380 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10381 [Steve Henson]
10382
10383 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10384 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10385 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10386 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10387
10388 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10389 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10390 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10391 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10392
10393 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10394 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10395 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10396 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10397 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10398 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10399 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10400 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10401 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10402 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10403 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10404 trivial: move one line.
10405 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10406
10407 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10408 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10409 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10410 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10411 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10412 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10413 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10414 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10415 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10416 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10417 with an event loop for example.
10418 [Steve Henson]
10419
10420 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10421 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10422 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10423 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10424 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10425 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10426 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10427 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10428 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10429 [Steve Henson]
10430
10431 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10432 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10433 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10434 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10435 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10436 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10437 [Steve Henson]
10438
10439 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10440 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10441 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10442 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10443
10444 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10445 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10446 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10447 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10448 key generation.
10449 [Steve Henson]
10450
10451 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10452 (still largely untested)
10453 [Bodo Moeller]
10454
10455 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10456 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10457 [Steve Henson]
10458
10459 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10460 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10461 [Steve Henson]
10462
10463 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10464 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10465 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10466 [Bodo Moeller]
10467
10468 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10469 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10470 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10471 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10472 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10473 [Steve Henson]
10474
10475 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10476 [Andy Polyakov]
10477
10478 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10479 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10480 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10481 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10482 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10483 in ca.
10484 [Steve Henson]
10485
10486 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10487 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10488 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10489 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10490 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10491 [Steve Henson]
10492
10493 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10494 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10495 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10496 are otherwise ignored at present.
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10500 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10501 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10502 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10503 copied until the next read.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10507 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10508 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10509 [Steve Henson]
10510
10511 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10512 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10513 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10514 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10515 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10516 associated functions.
10517 [Steve Henson]
10518
10519 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10520 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10521 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10522 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10523 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10524 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10525 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10526 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10527 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10528 memory BIOs.
10529 [Steve Henson]
10530
10531 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10532 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10533 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10534 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10535 [Bodo Moeller]
10536
10537 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10538 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10539 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10540 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10541 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10542 functionality.
10543 [Steve Henson]
10544
10545 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10546 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10547 under Win32.
10548 [Steve Henson]
10549
10550 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10551 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10552 extensions to be obtained and added.
10553 [Steve Henson]
10554
10555 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10556 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10557 [Bodo Moeller]
10558
10559 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10560
10561 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10562 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10563
10564 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10565 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10566
10567 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10568 program.
10569 [Steve Henson]
10570
10571 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10572 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10573 DH parameters contain its length).
10574
10575 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10576 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10577 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10578 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10579 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10580 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10581 utter importance to use
10582 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10583 or
10584 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10585 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10586 attacks may become possible!
10587 [Bodo Moeller]
10588
10589 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10590 [Bodo Moeller]
10591
10592 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10593 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10594 [Steve Henson]
10595
10596 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10597 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10598 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10599 or long name.
10600 [Steve Henson]
10601
10602 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10603 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10604 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10605 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10606 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10607 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10608 private key operations.
10609 [Steve Henson]
10610
10611 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10612 [Andy Polyakov]
10613
10614 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10615 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10616 to
10617 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10618 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10619 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10620 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10621 the password callback is called.
10622 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10623
10624 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10625
10626 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10627 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10628 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10629 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10630 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10631 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10632 this will work.
10633
10634 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10635 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10636 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10637 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10638 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10639 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10640 [Bodo Moeller]
10641
10642 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10643 [Andy Polyakov]
10644
10645 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10646 delete an unused file.
10647 [Ulf Möller]
10648
10649 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10650 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10651 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10652 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10653 [Steve Henson]
10654
10655 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10656 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10657 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10658 of an error.
10659 [Bodo Moeller]
10660
10661 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10662 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10663 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10664
10665 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10666 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10667 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10668 comparison" warnings.
10669 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10670 [Steve Henson]
10671
10672 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10673 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10674 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10675 [Steve Henson]
10676
10677 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10678 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10679
10680 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10681 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10682
10683 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10684 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10685 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10686
10687 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10688 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10689 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10690 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10691 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10692 this bug.
10693 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10694
10695 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10696 The interface is as follows:
10697 Applications can use
10698 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10699 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10700 "off" is now the default.
10701 The library internally uses
10702 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10703 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10704 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10705
10706 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10707 even the default) are now avoided.
10708
10709 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10710 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10711 than just having a counter.
10712
10713 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10714
10715 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10716 extensions.
10717 [Bodo Moeller]
10718
10719 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10720 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10721 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10722 Initial "mode" flags are:
10723
10724 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10725 a single record has been written.
10726 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10727 retries use the same buffer location.
10728 (But all of the contents must be
10729 copied!)
10730 [Bodo Moeller]
10731
10732 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10733 worked.
10734
10735 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10736 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10737
10738 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10739 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10740 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10741 [Steve Henson]
10742
10743 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10744 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10745 test programs.
10746 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10747
10748 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10749 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10750 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10751 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10752 point to the end.
10753 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10754 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10755
10756 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10757 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10758 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10759 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10760 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10761 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10762 [Steve Henson]
10763
10764 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10765 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10766 necessary function names.
10767 [Steve Henson]
10768
10769 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10770 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10771 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10772 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10773 [Bodo Moeller]
10774
10775 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10776 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10777 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10781 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10782 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10783 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10784 such programs?)
10785 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10786 need locks.
10787 [Bodo Moeller]
10788
10789 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10790 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10791 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10792 [Bodo Moeller]
10793
10794 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10795 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10796 appropriate.
10797 [Bodo Moeller]
10798
10799 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10800 for the encoded length.
10801 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10802
10803 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10804 [Steve Henson]
10805
10806 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10807 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10808 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10809 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10810 [Steve Henson]
10811
10812 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10813 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10815
10816 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10817 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10818 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10819 unusual formatting.
10820 [Steve Henson]
10821
10822 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10823 to use the new extension code.
10824 [Steve Henson]
10825
10826 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10827 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10828 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10829 constant.
10830 [Steve Henson]
10831
10832 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10833 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10834 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10835 [Bodo Moeller]
10836
10837 #if 0
10838 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10839 [Ben Laurie]
10840 #else
10841 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10842 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10843 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10844 #endif
10845
10846 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10847 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10848 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10849 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10850 [Ben Laurie]
10851
10852 *) DES library cleanups.
10853 [Ulf Möller]
10854
10855 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10856 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10857 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10858 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10859 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10860 of v2.0.
10861 [Steve Henson]
10862
10863 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10864 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10865 [Bodo Moeller]
10866
10867 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10868 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10869 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10870 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10871 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10872 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10873 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10874 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10875 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10876 [Steve Henson]
10877
10878 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10879 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10880 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10881 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10882 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10883 value doesn't matter.
10884 [Steve Henson]
10885
10886 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10887 support mutable.
10888 [Ben Laurie]
10889
10890 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10891 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10892 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10893 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10894
10895 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10896 [Ulf Möller]
10897
10898 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10899 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10900 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10901
10902 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10903 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10904
10905 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10906 [Ben Laurie]
10907
10908 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10909 [Ben Laurie]
10910
10911 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10912 [Ben Laurie]
10913
10914 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10915 [Bodo Moeller]
10916
10917
10918 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10919
10920 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10921
10922 *) Updated some demos.
10923 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10924
10925 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10926 [Wu Zhigang]
10927
10928 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10929 [Steve Henson]
10930
10931 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10932 [Steve Henson]
10933
10934 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10935 instead of using a fixed path.
10936 [Bodo Moeller]
10937
10938 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10939 [Andy Polyakov]
10940
10941 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10942 [Richard Levitte]
10943
10944
10945 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10946
10947 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10948 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10949 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10950
10951 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10952 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10953 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10954 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10955 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10956 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10957 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10958 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10959 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10960 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10961 [Steve Henson]
10962
10963 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10964 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10965 [Steve Henson]
10966
10967 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10968 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10969 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10970 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10971 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10972
10973 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10974 [Bodo Moeller]
10975
10976 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10977 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10978 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10979 [Steve Henson]
10980
10981 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10982 [Ben Laurie]
10983
10984 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10985 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10986 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10987 key elements as negative integers.
10988 [Steve Henson]
10989
10990 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10991 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10992
10993 *) VMS support.
10994 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10995
10996 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10997 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10998 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10999 [Steve Henson]
11000
11001 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11002 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11003 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11004 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11005 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11006 [Bodo Moeller]
11007
11008 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11009 [Ulf Möller]
11010
11011 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11012 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11013 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11015
11016 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11017 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11018 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11019
11020 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11021 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11022 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11023 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11024 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11025 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11026 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11027 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11028 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11029
11030 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11031 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11032 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11033 does not influence s as it used to.
11034
11035 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11036 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11037 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11038 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11039 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11040 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11041 [Bodo Moeller]
11042
11043 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11044 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11045 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11046 key type.
11047 [Steve Henson]
11048
11049 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11050 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11051 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11052 and 'x509').
11053 [Steve Henson]
11054
11055 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11056 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11057 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11058 extension option.
11059 [Steve Henson]
11060
11061 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11062 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11063 [Ben Laurie]
11064
11065 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11066 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11067
11068 *) Support Mingw32.
11069 [Ulf Möller]
11070
11071 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11072 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11073
11074 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11075 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11076
11077 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11078 [Ulf Möller]
11079
11080 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11081 [Anonymous]
11082
11083 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11085
11086 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11087 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11088 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11089 DER-encoded.)
11090 [Bodo Moeller]
11091
11092 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11093 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11094 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11095 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11096 now it really counts the depth.
11097 [Bodo Moeller]
11098
11099 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11100 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11101 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11102 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11103 didn't match the private key).
11104
11105 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11106 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11107 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11108 [Bodo Moeller]
11109
11110 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11111 [Ulf Möller]
11112
11113 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11114 David Harris.
11115 [Bodo Moeller]
11116
11117 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11118 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11119 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11120 [Bodo Moeller]
11121
11122 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11123 [Bodo Moeller]
11124
11125 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11126 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11127 such as /usr/local/bin.
11128 [Bodo Moeller]
11129
11130 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11131 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11132
11133 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11134 [Ulf Möller]
11135
11136 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11137 extension adding in x509 utility.
11138 [Steve Henson]
11139
11140 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11141 [Ulf Möller]
11142
11143 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11144 prototypes.
11145 [Steve Henson]
11146
11147 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11148 [Ulf Möller]
11149
11150 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11151 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11152 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11153 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11154 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11155 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11156 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11157 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11158 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11159 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11160 [Steve Henson]
11161
11162 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11163 [Bodo Moeller]
11164
11165 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11166 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11167 [Bodo Moeller]
11168
11169 *) Fix some race conditions.
11170 [Bodo Moeller]
11171
11172 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11173 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11174 [Steve Henson]
11175
11176 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11177 [Ulf Möller]
11178
11179 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11180 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11181 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11182 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11183
11184 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11185 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11186
11187 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11188 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11189 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11190
11191 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11192 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11193
11194 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11195 [Ulf Möller]
11196
11197 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11198 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11199
11200 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11201 [Ulf Möller]
11202
11203 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11204 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11205
11206 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11207 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11208 [Steve Henson]
11209
11210 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11211 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11212 [Ben Laurie]
11213
11214 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11215 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11219 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11220 [Steve Henson]
11221
11222 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11223 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11224 [Steve Henson]
11225
11226 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11227 support typesafe stack.
11228 [Steve Henson]
11229
11230 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11231 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11232
11233 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11234 old X509V3 handling code.
11235 [Steve Henson]
11236
11237 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11238 [Ulf Möller]
11239
11240 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11241 [Bodo Moeller]
11242
11243 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11244 [Ben Laurie]
11245
11246 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11247 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11248
11249 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11250 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11251 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11252 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11253 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11254 [Ben Laurie]
11255
11256 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11257 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11258 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11259 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11260 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11261
11262 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11263 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11264 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11265 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11266
11267 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11268 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11269 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11271
11272 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11273 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11274 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11275 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11276 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11277 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11278 [Bodo Moeller]
11279
11280 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11281 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11282 [Bodo Moeller]
11283
11284 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11285 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11286 [Ulf Möller]
11287
11288 *) Tweaks to Configure
11289 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11290
11291 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11292 yet...
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11296 [Ulf Möller]
11297
11298 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11299 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11300 [Ulf Möller]
11301
11302 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11303 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11304 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11305 [Bodo Moeller]
11306
11307 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11308 [Bodo Moeller]
11309
11310 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11311 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11312 [Steve Henson]
11313
11314 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11315 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11316 to library startup routines.
11317 [Steve Henson]
11318
11319 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11320 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11321 codes along the way.
11322 [Steve Henson]
11323
11324 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11325 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11326 objects to objects.h
11327 [Steve Henson]
11328
11329 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11330 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11331 [Steve Henson]
11332
11333 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11334 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11335
11336 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11337 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11338 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11339
11340 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11341 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11342 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11343
11344 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11345 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11346 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11347
11348
11349 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11350
11351 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11352 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11353 [Ben Laurie]
11354
11355 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11356 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11357 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11358 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11359 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11360
11361 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11362 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11363 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11364 document.
11365 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11366
11367 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11368 Malloc, Free.
11369 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11370
11371 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11372 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11373
11374 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11375 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11376 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11377 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11378
11379 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11380 [Ben Laurie]
11381
11382 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11383 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11384 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11385 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11389 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11390 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11391 [Steve Henson]
11392
11393 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11394 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11395 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11396 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11397 installed as `perl').
11398 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11399
11400 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11401 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11402
11403 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11404 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11405 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11406 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11407 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11408 [Steve Henson]
11409
11410 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11411 [Ben Laurie]
11412
11413 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11414 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11415 is horrible: I feel ill....
11416 [Steve Henson]
11417
11418 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11419 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11420 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11421 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11426
11427 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11428 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11429 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11431
11432 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11433 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11434 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11435 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11436 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11437 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11438 openssl_bio.xs.
11439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11440
11441 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11442 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11443
11444 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11445 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11446
11447 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11448 [Ben Laurie]
11449
11450 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11451 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11452 in CRLs.
11453 [Steve Henson]
11454
11455 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11456 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11457 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11458 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11459 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11460 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11461 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11462 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11463 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11464 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11466
11467 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11468 [Ben Laurie]
11469
11470 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11471 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11472 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11473 for linking it into DSOs.
11474 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11475
11476 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11477 Fixed.
11478 [Ben Laurie]
11479
11480 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11481 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11482 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11483 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11484 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11485 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11486
11487 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11488 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11489 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11490 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11491 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11492 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11494
11495 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11496 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11497 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11498 encryption.
11499 [Ben Laurie]
11500
11501 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11502 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11503 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11504 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11505 [Steve Henson]
11506
11507 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11508 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11509 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11510 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11511 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11512 field as blank.
11513 [Steve Henson]
11514
11515 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11516 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11517 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11518 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11520
11521 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11522 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11523 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11524
11525 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11526 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11527
11528 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11529 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11530 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11531 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11532 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11533 [Steve Henson]
11534
11535 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11536 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11537 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11538 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11539 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11540 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11541 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11542 [Ben Laurie]
11543
11544 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11545 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11546 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11547 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11548 [Ben Laurie]
11549
11550 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11551 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11552
11553 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11554 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11558 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11559 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11560 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11561 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11562 (e.g. s_server).
11563 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11564 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11565 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11566 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11567 no way to reconfigure them.
11568 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11569 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11570 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11571 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11572 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11574
11575 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11576 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11577 recognized by the users.
11578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11579
11580 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11581 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11582 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11583 already masked variable.
11584 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11585
11586 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11587 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11588
11589 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11590 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11591 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11592 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11593
11594 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11595 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11597
11598 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11599 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11600 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11601 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11602 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11603 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11604 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11605 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11606 now, too.
11607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11608
11609 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11610 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11611 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11612
11613 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11614 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11615 config file.
11616 [Steve Henson]
11617
11618 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11619 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11620
11621 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11622 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11623 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11624 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11625 [Ben Laurie]
11626
11627 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11628 [Steve Henson]
11629
11630 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11631 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11632
11633 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11634 [Ben Laurie]
11635
11636 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11637 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11638 [Steve Henson]
11639
11640 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11641 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11642 [Steve Henson]
11643
11644 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11645 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11646 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11647 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11648 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11649 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11650 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11651 Ben Laurie]
11652
11653 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11654 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11655
11656 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11657 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11658 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11659 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11660 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11661
11662 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11663 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11664 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11665 [Steve Henson]
11666
11667 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11668 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11669 an example.
11670 [Steve Henson]
11671
11672 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11673 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11674 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11675
11676 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11677 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11678 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11679 build instructions.
11680 [Steve Henson]
11681
11682 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11683 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11684 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11685 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11686 [Steve Henson]
11687
11688 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11689 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11690 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11691 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11692 [Ben Laurie]
11693
11694 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11695 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11696 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11697 so it wasn't spotted.
11698 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11699
11700 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11701 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11702 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11703 vectors if you have them.
11704 [Ben Laurie]
11705
11706 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11707 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11708 [Ben Laurie]
11709
11710 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11711 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11712 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11713 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11714 If you do a:
11715 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11716 it will update them.
11717 [Steve Henson]
11718
11719 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11720 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11721 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11722 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11723 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11724 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11725 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11727
11728 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11729 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11730 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11731 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11732 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11733 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11734 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11735 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11736 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11737 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11738
11739 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11740 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11741 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11742 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11743 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11744 [Steve Henson]
11745
11746 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11747 INTEGER code.
11748 [Steve Henson]
11749
11750 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11751 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11752
11753 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11754 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11755
11756 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11757 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11758 [Ben Laurie]
11759
11760 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11761 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11762
11763 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11764 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11765
11766 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11767 [Steve Henson]
11768
11769 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11770 few typos.
11771 [Steve Henson]
11772
11773 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11774 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11775 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11776 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11777
11778 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11782 [Steve Henson]
11783
11784 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11785 [Steve Henson]
11786
11787 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11788 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11789 [Steve Henson]
11790
11791 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11792 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11793 CA extensions.
11794 [Steve Henson]
11795
11796 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11797 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11801 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11802 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11803 [Steve Henson]
11804
11805 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11806 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11807 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11808 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11809 properly to be processed.
11810 [Steve Henson]
11811
11812 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11813 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11814 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11815 [Ben Laurie]
11816
11817 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11818 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11819
11820 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11821 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11822 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11823 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11824 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11825 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11826 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11827 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11828 or delete all the .err files.
11829 [Steve Henson]
11830
11831 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11832 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11833 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11834 to regenerate it if needed.
11835 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11836 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11837
11838 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11839 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11840
11841 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11842 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11843 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11844 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11845 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11849 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11850
11851 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11852 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11853
11854 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11855 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11856 error, but didn't set one).
11857 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11858
11859 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11860 [Ben Laurie]
11861
11862 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11863 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11864 [Steve Henson]
11865
11866 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11867 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11868
11869 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11870 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11871 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11872 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11873 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11874 OID is not part of the table.
11875 [Steve Henson]
11876
11877 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11878 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11879 [Ben Laurie]
11880
11881 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11882 [Ben Laurie]
11883
11884 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11885 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11886 was "1234").
11887 [Steve Henson]
11888
11889 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11890 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11891
11892 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11893 NULL pointers.
11894 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11895
11896 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11897 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11898
11899 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11900 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11901
11902 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11903 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11904
11905 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11906 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11907 [Ben Laurie]
11908
11909 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11910 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11911 [Steve Henson]
11912
11913 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11914 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11915
11916 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11917 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11918
11919 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11920 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11921
11922 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11923 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11924
11925 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11926 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11927 unused in the certificate verification process.
11928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11929
11930 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11931 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11935 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11936 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11937
11938 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11939 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11940 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11941 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11942 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11943
11944 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11945 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11946 [Steve Henson]
11947
11948 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11949 [Steve Henson]
11950
11951 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11952 [Paul Sutton]
11953
11954 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11955 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11956
11957 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11958 [Ben Laurie]
11959
11960 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11961 [Ben Laurie]
11962
11963 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11964 [Ben Laurie]
11965
11966 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11967 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11968 other error libraries.
11969 [Steve Henson]
11970
11971 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11972 [Steve Henson]
11973
11974 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11975 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11976 be read in.
11977 [Steve Henson]
11978
11979 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11980 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11981 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11982 the new set of documentation files.
11983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11984
11985 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11986 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11987 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11988 number of arguments.
11989 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11990
11991 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11992 [Ben Laurie]
11993
11994 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11995 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11996 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11997
11998 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11999 [Ben Laurie]
12000
12001 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12002 nextstep
12003 ncr-scde
12004 unixware-2.0
12005 unixware-2.0-pentium
12006 sco5-cc.
12007 [Ben Laurie]
12008
12009 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12010 before they are needed.
12011 [Ben Laurie]
12012
12013 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12014 [Ben Laurie]
12015
12016
12017 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]

12019 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12020 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12022
12023 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12024 [Paul Sutton]
12025
12026 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12027 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12029
12030 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12031 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12032 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12033
12034 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12035 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12037
12038 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12039 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12040
12041 *) Updated the README file.
12042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12043
12044 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12045 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12046 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12047
12048 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12049 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12050 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12051

12066 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12067
12068 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12069 [Mark J. Cox]
12070
12071 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12072 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12073 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12074 summer 1998.

12088 [Eric A. Young]
12089
12090 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:

12092 available).
12093 [Eric A. Young]
12094

12152 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12153 [Eric A. Young]
12154
12155 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12156 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12157 [Eric A. Young]
