3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
8 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
9 are no longer allowed.
10 [Emilia Käsper]
11
12 *) Add support for SipHash
13 [Todd Short]
14
15 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
16 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
17 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
18 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
19 [Matt Caswell]
20
21 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
22 using the algorithm defined in
23 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
24 [Richard Levitte]
25
26 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
27 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
28
29 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
30 [Emilia Käsper]
31
32 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
33
34 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
35
36 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
37 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
38 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
39 and servers are affected.
40
41 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
42 (CVE-2017-3733)
43 [Matt Caswell]
44
45 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
46
47 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
48
49 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
50 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
51 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
52
53 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
54 (CVE-2017-3731)
55 [Andy Polyakov]
56
57 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
58
59 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
60 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
61 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
62 of Service attack.
63
64 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
65 (CVE-2017-3730)
66 [Matt Caswell]
67
68 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
69
70 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
71 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
72 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
73 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
74 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
75 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
76 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
77 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
78 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
79 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
80 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
81 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
82 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
83
84 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
85 (CVE-2017-3732)
86 [Andy Polyakov]
87
88 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
89
90 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
91
92 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
93 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
94 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
95
96 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
97 (CVE-2016-7054)
98 [Richard Levitte]
99
100 *) CMS Null dereference
101
102 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
103 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
104 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
105 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
106 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
107 affected.
108
109 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
110 (CVE-2016-7053)
111 [Stephen Henson]
112
113 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
114
115 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
116 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
117 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
118 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
119 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
120 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
121 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
122 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
123 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
124 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
125 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
126 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
127 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
128 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
129
130 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
131 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
132 providing reproducible case.
133 (CVE-2016-7055)
134 [Andy Polyakov]
135
136 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
137 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
138 [Richard Levitte]
139
140 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
141
142 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
143
144 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
145 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
146 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
147 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
148 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
149 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
150
151 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
152
153 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
154 (CVE-2016-6309)
155 [Matt Caswell]
156
157 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
158
159 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
160
161 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
162 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
163 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
164 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
165 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
166 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
167 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
168
169 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
170 (CVE-2016-6304)
171 [Matt Caswell]
172
173 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
174
175 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
176 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
177 Denial Of Service attack.
178
179 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
180 (CVE-2016-6305)
181 [Matt Caswell]
182
183 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
184 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
185
186 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
187 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
188 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
189 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
190 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
191 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
192 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
193 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
194 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
195 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
196 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
197 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
198 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
199 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
200 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
201
202 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
203 that the connection fails
204 or
205 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
206 very little free memory
207 or
208 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
209 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
210 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
211 memory to service the multiple requests.
212
213 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
214 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
215 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
216 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
217 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
218
219 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
220 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
221 [Matt Caswell]
222
223 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
224 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
225 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
226 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
227 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
228 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
229 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
230 [Andy Polyakov]
231
232 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
233
234 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
235 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
236 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
237 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
238 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
239 non-ASCII password.
240 [Andy Polyakov]
241
242 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
243 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
244 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
245 [Rich Salz]
246
247 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
248 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
249 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
250 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
251 [Matt Caswell]
252
253 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
254 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
255 success.
256 [Matt Caswell]
257
258 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
259 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
260 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
261 no-ops and deprecated.
262 [Matt Caswell]
263
264 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
265 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
266 were also closed.
267 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
268
269 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
270 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
271 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
272 [Rich Salz]
273
274 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
275 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
276 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
277 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
278 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
279 and the validity of object reference counter.
280 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
281
282 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
283 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
284 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
285 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
286 [Richard Levitte]
287
288 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
289 [Richard Levitte]
290
291 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
292 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
293 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
294 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
295
296 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
297
298 [Richard Levitte]
299
300 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
301 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
302 [Steve Henson]
303
304 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
305 [Andy Polyakov]
306
307 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
308 [Rich Salz]
309
310 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
311 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
312 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
313 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
314 name and is used as is.
315 [Richard Levitte]
316
317 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
318 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
319 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
320 [Rich Salz]
321
322 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
323 the "no-shared" Configure option.
324 [Matt Caswell]
325
326 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
327 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
328 algorithms.
329 [Matt Caswell]
330
331 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
332 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
333 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
334 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
335 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
336 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
337 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
338 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
339 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
340 [Matt Caswell]
341
342 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
343 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
344 enabled with '--debug' builds.
345 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
346
347 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
348 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
349 these have been added.
350 [Matt Caswell]
351
352 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
353 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
354 functions for managing these have been added.
355 [Richard Levitte]
356
357 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
358 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
359 these have been added.
360 [Matt Caswell]
361
362 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
363 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
364 have been added.
365 [Matt Caswell]
366
367 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
368 [Matt Caswell]
369
370 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
371 [Richard Levitte]
372
373 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
374 it is always safe to #include a header now.
375 [Rich Salz]
376
377 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
378 [Richard Levitte]
379
380 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
381 [Rich Salz]
382
383 *) Add support for HKDF.
384 [Alessandro Ghedini]
385
386 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
387 [Bill Cox]
388
389 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
390 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
391 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
392 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
393 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
394 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
395 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
396 [Matt Caswell]
397
398 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
399 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
400 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
401 [Catriona Lucey]
402
403 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
404 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
405 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
406 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
407 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
408 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
409 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
410
411 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
412 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
413 [Todd Short]
414
415 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
416 [Todd Short]
417
418 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
419 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
420 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
421 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
422 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
423 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
424 default cipherlist.
425 [Emilia Käsper]
426
427 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
428 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
429 [Rich Salz]
430
431 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
432 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
433 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
434 [Matt Caswell]
435
436 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
437 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
438 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
439 implemented by other servers.
440 [Emilia Käsper]
441
442 *) Add X25519 support.
443 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
444 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
445 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
446 key generation and key derivation.
447
448 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
449 X25519(29).
450 [Steve Henson]
451
452 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
453 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
454 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
455 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
456 seed, even if the seed is configured.
457
458 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
459 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
460 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
461 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
462 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
463 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
464 that of a valid user.
465 [Emilia Käsper]
466
467 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
468 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
469 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
470 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
471
472 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
473 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
474
475 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
476 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
477 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
478 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
479
480 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
481 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
482 irrelevant.
483 [Richard Levitte]
484
485 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
486 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
487 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
488 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
489 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
490 of how OpenSSL was configured.
491
492 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
493 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
494 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
495 [Richard Levitte]
496
497 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
498 [Rich Salz]
499
500 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
501 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
502 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
503 removed.
504 [Richard Levitte]
505
506 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
507 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
508 old #define's might need to be updated.
509 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
510
511 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
512 [Rich Salz]
513
514 *) New "unified" build system
515
516 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
517 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
518
519 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
520 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
521 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
522
523 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
524 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
525 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
526 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
527 descrip.mms.tmpl.
528
529 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
530 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
531 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
532 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
533 libraries" in INSTALL.
534
535 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
536 [Richard Levitte]
537
538 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
539 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
540 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
541 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
542 [Matt Caswell]
543
544 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
545 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
546
547 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
548 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
549 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
550 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
551 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
552 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
553 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
554 have been adapted accordingly.
555 [Richard Levitte]
556
557 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
558 the leading 0-byte.
559 [Emilia Käsper]
560
561 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
562 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
563 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
564 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
565 [Emilia Käsper]
566
567 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
568 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
569 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
570 'unsigned char*'.
571 [Emilia Käsper]
572
573 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
574 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
575 [Emilia Käsper]
576
577 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
578 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
579 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
580 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
581 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
582 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
583 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
584
585 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
586 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
587
588 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
589 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
590 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
591 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
592 Text::Template.
593
594 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
595 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
596 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
597 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
598 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
599 %target).
600 [Richard Levitte]
601
602 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
603 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
604 straightforward and less interdependent.
605
606 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
607 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
608 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
609
610 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
611 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
612 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
613 installed.
614 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
615 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
616 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
617 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
618
619 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
620 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
621 [Richard Levitte]
622
623 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
624 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
625 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
626 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
627 is present).
628 [Matt Caswell]
629
630 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
631 configuring.
632 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
633
634 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
635 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
636 before trying to build now.*
637 [Rich Salz]
638
639 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
640 has changed.
641 [Rich Salz]
642
643 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
644
645 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
646 the application's responsibility. The application provides
647 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
648 used to authenticate the peer.
649
650 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
651 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
652 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
653 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
654 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
655 [Viktor Dukhovni]
656
657 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
658 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
659 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
660 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
661 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
662 or the 1.1.0 releases.
663
664 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
665 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
666 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
667 support for the deprecated features from the library and
668 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
669 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
670 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
671 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
672 version.
673
674 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
675 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
676 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
677 compile with later releases.
678
679 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
680 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
681 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
682 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
683 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
684 [Viktor Dukhovni]
685
686 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
687 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
688 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
689 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
690 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
691 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
692 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
693 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
694 [Kurt Roeckx]
695
696 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
697 [Andy Polyakov]
698
699 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
700 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
701 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
702 ECDSA_SIG format.
703
704 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
705 include the ec.h header file instead.
706 [Steve Henson]
707
708 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
709 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
710 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
711 [Kurt Roeckx]
712
713 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
714 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
715 were added:
716
717 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
718 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
719
720 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
721 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
722 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
723
724 Additional changes:
725 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
726 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
727 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
728 an already created structure.
729 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
730 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
731 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
732 for deprecated builds.
733 [Richard Levitte]
734
735 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
736 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
737 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
738 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
739 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
740 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
741 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
742 [Matt Caswell]
743
744 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
745 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
746 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
747 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
748 [Kurt Roeckx]
749
750 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
751 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
752 [Kurt Roeckx]
753
754 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
755 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
756 [Kurt Roeckx]
757
758 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
759 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
760 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
761 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
762 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
763 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
764 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
765 also been removed.
766 [Matt Caswell]
767
768 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
769 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
770 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
771 [Rich Salz]
772
773 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
774 [Rich Salz]
775
776 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
777 sureware and ubsec.
778 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
779
780 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
781
782 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
783 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
784
785 FOO *x;
786
787 it must be:
788
789 FOO x;
790
791 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
792 set a mandatory field to NULL.
793
794 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
795 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
796 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
797 SEQUENCE OF.
798 [Steve Henson]
799
800 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
801 [Emilia Käsper]
802
803 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
804 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
805 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
806 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
807 [Matt Caswell]
808
809 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
810 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
811 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
812 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
813 [Emilia Käsper]
814
815 *) Fix no-stdio build.
816 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
817 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
818
819 *) New testing framework
820 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
821 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
822 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
823 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
824 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
825 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
826
827 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
828
829 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
830 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
831
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
835 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
836 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
837 and others were changed. All are now documented.
838 [Rich Salz]
839
840 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
841 return an error
842 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
843
844 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
845 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
846
847 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
848 original RSA_PSK patch.
849 [Steve Henson]
850
851 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
852 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
853 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
854 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
855 [Matt Caswell]
856
857 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
858 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
859 [Richard Levitte]
860
861 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
862 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
863 hasn't been working properly for a while.
864 [Emilia Käsper]
865
866 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
867 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
868 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
869 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
870 transferred.
871 [Matt Caswell]
872
873 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
874 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
875 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
876 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
877 [Matt Caswell]
878
879 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
880 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
881 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
882 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
883 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
884 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
885 [Matt Caswell]
886
887 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
888 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
889 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
890 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
891 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
892 header file has been removed.
893 [Matt Caswell]
894
895 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
896 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
897 [Matt Caswell]
898
899 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
900 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
901 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
902
903 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
904 Added a test.
905 [Rich Salz]
906
907 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
908 [Rich Salz]
909
910 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
911 sha256
912 [Rich Salz]
913
914 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
915 [Matt Caswell]
916
917 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
918 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
919 initial patch which was a great help during development.
920 [Steve Henson]
921
922 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
923 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
924 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
925 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
926 [Matt Caswell]
927
928 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
929 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
930 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
931 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
932 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
933 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
934 [Matt Caswell]
935
936 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
937 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
938 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
939 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
940 [Matt Caswell]
941
942 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
943 compatible client hello.
944 [Kurt Roeckx]
945
946 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
947 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
948 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
949
950 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
951 [Rich Salz]
952
953 *) Removed old DES API.
954 [Rich Salz]
955
956 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
957 Sony NEWS4
958 BEOS and BEOS_R5
959 NeXT
960 SUNOS
961 MPE/iX
962 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
963 DGUX
964 NCR
965 Tandem
966 Cray
967 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
968 [Rich Salz]
969
970 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
971 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
972 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
973 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
974 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
975 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
976 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
977 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
978 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
979 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
980 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
981 [Rich Salz]
982
983 *) Cleaned up dead code
984 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
985 [Rich Salz]
986
987 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
988 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
989 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
990 [Rich Salz]
991
992 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
993 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
994 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
995 [Rich Salz]
996
997 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
998 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
999 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1000
1001 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1002 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1003 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1004
1005 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1006 compilation flags.
1007 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1008
1009 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1010 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1011 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1012
1013 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1014 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1015
1016 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1017 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1018 server.
1019
1020 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to

1022 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1023 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1024
1025 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1026 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1027 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1028 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1029
1030 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1031 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1032 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1033
1034 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1035 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1036 [Steve Henson]
1037
1038 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1039
1040 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1041 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1042
1043 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1044 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1045
1046 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1047 effect.
1048
1049 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1050
1051 [Steve Henson]
1052
1053 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1054 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1055 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1056 algorithms and include tests cases.
1057 [Steve Henson]
1058
1059 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1060 enveloped data.
1061 [Steve Henson]
1062
1063 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1064 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1065 [Steve Henson]
1066
1067 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1068 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1069
1070 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1071 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1072 [Steve Henson]
1073
1074 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1075 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1076 failures.
1077 [Steve Henson]
1078
1079 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1080 sign or verify all in one operation.
1081 [Steve Henson]
1082
1083 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1084 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1085 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1086 [Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1089 [Steve Henson]
1090
1091 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1092 [Steve Henson]
1093
1094 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1095 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1096 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1097 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1098 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1099 [Steve Henson]
1100
1101 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1102 based on NID.
1103 [Steve Henson]
1104
1105 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1106 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1107 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1108 [Steve Henson]
1109
1110 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1111 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1112
1113 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1114 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1115 [Steve Henson]
1116
1117 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1118 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1119 [Steve Henson]
1120
1121 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1122 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1123 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1124 [Steve Henson]
1125
1126 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1127 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1128 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1129 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1130 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1131 requested amount of entropy.
1132 [Steve Henson]
1133
1134 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1135 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1136 [Steve Henson]
1137
1138 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1139 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1140 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1141 support.
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1145 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1146 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1147 [Steve Henson]
1148
1149 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1150 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1151 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1152 will never use XTS mode.
1153 [Steve Henson]
1154
1155 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1156 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1157 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1158 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1159 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1160 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1161 [Steve Henson]
1162
1163 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1164 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1165 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1166 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1167 [Steve Henson]
1168
1169 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1170 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1171 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1172 [Steve Henson]
1173
1174 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1175 [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1178 [Steve Henson]
1179
1180 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1181 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1182 [Steve Henson]
1183
1184 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1185 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1186 [Steve Henson]
1187
1188 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1189 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1190 [Steve Henson]
1191
1192 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1193 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1194 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1195 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1196 and rename any affected symbols.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1200 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1201 [Steve Henson]
1202
1203 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1204 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1205 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1209 [Steve Henson]
1210
1211 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1212 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1213 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1217 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1218 [Steve Henson]
1219
1220 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1221 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1222 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1223 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1224 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1225 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1226 set before the key.
1227 [Steve Henson]
1228
1229 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1230 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1231 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1232 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1233 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1234 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1235 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1236 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1237 [Steve Henson]
1238
1239 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1240 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1244
1245 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1246 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1247
1248 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1249 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1250 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1251 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1252 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1253 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1254
1255 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1256 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1257 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1258 security.
1259 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1260
1261 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1262 parameters by name.
1263 [Steve Henson]
1264
1265 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1266 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1267 [Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1270 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1271 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1272 [Steve Henson]
1273
1274 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1275 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1276 multi-process servers.
1277 [Steve Henson]
1278
1279 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1280 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1281 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1282 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1283 RAND_METHOD structure.
1284 [Steve Henson]
1285
1286 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1287 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1288 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1289 whose return value is often ignored.
1290 [Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1293 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1294 validated when establishing a connection.
1295 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1296
1297 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1298
1299 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1300
1301 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1302 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1303 AES-NI.
1304
1305 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1306 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1307 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1308 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1309 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1310 bytes.
1311
1312 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1313 (CVE-2016-2107)
1314 [Kurt Roeckx]
1315
1316 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1317
1318 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1319 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1320 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1321 corruption.
1322
1323 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1324 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1325 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1326 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1327 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1328 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1329
1330 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1331 (CVE-2016-2105)
1332 [Matt Caswell]
1333
1334 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1335
1336 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1337 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1338 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1339 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1340 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1341 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1342 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1343 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1344 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1345 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1346 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1347 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1348 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1349 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1350 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1351 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1352
1353 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1354 (CVE-2016-2106)
1355 [Matt Caswell]
1356
1357 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1358
1359 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1360 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1361 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1362
1363 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1364 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1365 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1366 applications are not affected.
1367
1368 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1369 (CVE-2016-2109)
1370 [Stephen Henson]
1371
1372 *) EBCDIC overread
1373
1374 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1375 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1376 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1377
1378 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1379 (CVE-2016-2176)
1380 [Matt Caswell]
1381
1382 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1383 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1384 [Todd Short]
1385
1386 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1387 default.
1388 [Kurt Roeckx]
1389
1390 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1391 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1392 [Kurt Roeckx]
1393
1394 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1395
1396 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1397 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1398 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1399 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1400
1401 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1402 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1403 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1404 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1405 will need to explicitly call either of:
1406
1407 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1408 or
1409 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1410
1411 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1412 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1413 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1414 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1415 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1416 (CVE-2016-0800)
1417 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1418
1419 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1420
1421 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1422 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1423 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1424 considered rare.
1425
1426 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1427 libFuzzer.
1428 (CVE-2016-0705)
1429 [Stephen Henson]
1430
1431 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1432
1433 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1434
1435 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1436 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1437 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1438 is configured.
1439
1440 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1441 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1442 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1443 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1444 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1445 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1446 that of a valid user.
1447 (CVE-2016-0798)
1448 [Emilia Käsper]
1449
1450 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1451
1452 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1453 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1454 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1455 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1456 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1457 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1458 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1459 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1460 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1461 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1462 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1463
1464 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1465 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1466 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1467 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1468 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1469
1470 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1471 (CVE-2016-0797)
1472 [Matt Caswell]
1473
1474 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1475
1476 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1477 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1478 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1479
1480 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1481 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1482 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1483 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1484 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1485 also occur.
1486
1487 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1488 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1489 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1490 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1491 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1492 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1493 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1494 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1495 as command line arguments.
1496
1497 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1498 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1499 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1500
1501 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1502 (CVE-2016-0799)
1503 [Matt Caswell]
1504
1505 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1506
1507 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1508 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1509 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1510 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1511 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.

1518 [Andy Polyakov]
1519
1520 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1521 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1522 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1523 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1526 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1527 *) DH small subgroups
1528
1529 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1530 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1531 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1532 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1533 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1534 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1535 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1536 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1537 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1538 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1539
1540 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1541 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1542 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1543 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1544 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1545
1546 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1547 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1548 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1549 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1550
1551 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1552 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1555 (CVE-2016-0701)
1556 [Matt Caswell]
1557
1558 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1559
1560 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1561 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1562 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1563 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1571
1572 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1573
1574 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1575 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1576 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1577 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1578 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1579 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1580 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1581 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1582 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1583 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1584 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1585 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1588 (CVE-2015-3193)
1589 [Andy Polyakov]
1590
1591 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1592
1593 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1594 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1595 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1596 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1597 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1598 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1599 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1600 authentication.
1601
1602 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1603 (CVE-2015-3194)
1604 [Stephen Henson]
1605
1606 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1607
1608 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1609 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1610 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1611 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1612
1613 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1614 libFuzzer.
1615 (CVE-2015-3195)
1616 [Stephen Henson]
1617
1618 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1619 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1620 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1621 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1627
1628 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1629
1630 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1631
1632 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1633 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1634 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1635 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1636 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1637 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1639 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1640 (Google/BoringSSL).

1642
1643 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1644
1645 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1646 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1647 restored.

1649
1650 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1651
1652 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1653
1654 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1655 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1656 field.
1657
1658 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1659 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1660 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1661 client authentication enabled.
1662
1663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1664 (CVE-2015-1788)
1665 [Andy Polyakov]
1666
1667 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1668
1669 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1670 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1671 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1672 time string.
1673
1674 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1675 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1676 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1677 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1678 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1679 callbacks.
1680
1681 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1682 independently by Hanno Böck.
1683 (CVE-2015-1789)
1684 [Emilia Käsper]
1685
1686 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1687
1688 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1689 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1690 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1691
1692 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1693 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1694 servers are not affected.
1695
1696 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1697 (CVE-2015-1790)
1698 [Emilia Käsper]
1699
1700 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1701
1702 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1703 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1704 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1705 the CMS code.
1706 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1707 (CVE-2015-1792)
1708 [Stephen Henson]
1709
1710 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1711
1712 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1713 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1714 a double free of the ticket data.
1715 (CVE-2015-1791)
1716 [Matt Caswell]
1717
1718 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the

1723 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1724
1725 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1726
1727 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1728 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1729 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1730
1731 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1732 University.
1733 (CVE-2015-0291)
1734 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1735
1736 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1737
1738 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1739 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1740 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1741 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1742 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1743 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1744 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1745 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1746
1747 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1748 (CVE-2015-0290)
1749 [Matt Caswell]
1750
1751 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1752
1753 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1754 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1755 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1756 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1757 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1758 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1759 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1760 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1761 server.
1762
1763 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1764 (CVE-2015-0207)
1765 [Matt Caswell]
1766
1767 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1768
1769 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1770 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1771 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1772 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1773 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1774 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1775 (CVE-2015-0286)
1776 [Stephen Henson]
1777
1778 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1779
1780 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1781 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1782 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1783 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1784 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1785 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1786 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1787
1788 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1789 (CVE-2015-0208)
1790 [Stephen Henson]
1791
1792 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1793
1794 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1795 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1796 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1797
1798 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1799 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1800 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1801 not affected.
1802 (CVE-2015-0287)
1803 [Stephen Henson]
1804
1805 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1806
1807 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1808 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1809 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1810
1811 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1812 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1813 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1814
1815 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1816 (CVE-2015-0289)
1817 [Emilia Käsper]
1818
1819 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1820
1821 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1822 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1823 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1824
1825 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1826 (OpenSSL development team).
1827 (CVE-2015-0293)
1828 [Emilia Käsper]
1829
1830 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1831
1832 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1833 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1834 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1835 (CVE-2015-1787)
1836 [Matt Caswell]
1837
1838 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1839
1840 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1841 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1842 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1843 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1844 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1845 SSL_client_methodv23)
1846 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1847 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1848
1849 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1850 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1851 output may be predictable.
1852
1853 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1854 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1855
1856 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1857 (CVE-2015-0285)
1858 [Matt Caswell]
1859
1860 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1861
1862 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1863 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1864 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1865 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1866 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1867 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1868
1869 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1870 commit 517073cd4b.
1871 (CVE-2015-0209)
1872 [Matt Caswell]
1873
1874 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1875
1876 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1877 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1878
1879 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

1883 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1884 [Kurt Roeckx]
1885
1886 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1887
1888 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1889 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1890 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1891 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1892 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1893 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1894 [Andy Polyakov]
1895
1896 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1897 (other platforms pending).
1898 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1899
1900 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1901 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1902 [Rob Stradling]
1903
1904 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1905 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1906 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1907 [Bodo Moeller]
1908
1909 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1910 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1911 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1912 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1913 [Andy Polyakov]
1914
1915 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1916 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1917
1918 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1919 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1920 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1921 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1922 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1923
1924 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1925 [Andy Polyakov]
1926
1927 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1928 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1929 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1930 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1931
1932 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1933 RSAZ.
1934 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1935
1936 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1937 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1938 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1939 for TLS encrypt.
1940
1941 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1942 [Andy Polyakov]
1943
1944 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1945 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1946 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1947 [Steve Henson]
1948
1949 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1950 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1951 [Steve Henson]
1952
1953 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1954 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1955 [Steve Henson]
1956
1957 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1958 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1959 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1960 algorithms and include tests cases.
1961 [Steve Henson]
1962
1963 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1964 structure.
1965 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1968 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1969 [Steve Henson]
1970
1971 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1972 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1973 summary of the connection parameters.
1974 [Steve Henson]
1975
1976 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1977 of connection parameters.
1978 [Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1981 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1982
1983 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1984 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1985 [Steve Henson]
1986
1987 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1988 [Steve Henson]
1989
1990 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1991 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1992 [Steve Henson]
1993
1994 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1995 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1996 [Steve Henson]
1997
1998 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1999 certificates.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2003 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2004 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2005 [Steve Henson]
2006
2007 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2008 [Steve Henson]
2009
2010 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2011 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2012 [Steve Henson]
2013
2014 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2015 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2016 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2017 tracing.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2021 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2022 [Steve Henson]
2023
2024 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2025 OID NID.
2026 [Steve Henson]
2027
2028 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2029 client to OpenSSL.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2033 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2034 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2035 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2036 [Steve Henson]
2037
2038 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2039 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2040 [Steve Henson]
2041
2042 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2043 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2044 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2045 comparison.
2046 [Steve Henson]
2047
2048 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2049 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2050 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2051 use the certificate.
2052 [Steve Henson]
2053
2054 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2058 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2059 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2060 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2061 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2062 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2063 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2064
2065 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2066 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2067
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2071 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2072 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2073 [Steve Henson]
2074
2075 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2076 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2077 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2078 supported signature algorithms.
2079 [Steve Henson]
2080
2081 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2082 [Steve Henson]
2083
2084 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2085 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2086 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2087 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2088 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2089 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2090 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2094 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2095 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2096 to have similar checks in it.
2097
2098 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2099 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2100 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2101 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2102 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2103 [Steve Henson]
2104
2105 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2106 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2107 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2108 shared signature algorithms.
2109 [Steve Henson]
2110
2111 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2112 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2113 to support them.
2114 [Steve Henson]
2115
2116 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2117 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2118 it couldn't be removed.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2122 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2123 [Steve Henson]
2124
2125 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2126 functions. Add manual page.
2127 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2128
2129 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2130 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2131 a certificate.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2135 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2136
2137 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2138 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2139 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2140 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2141 utility) or reject.
2142 [Steve Henson]
2143
2144 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2145 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2146 [Steve Henson]
2147
2148 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2149 platform support for Linux and Android.
2150 [Andy Polyakov]
2151
2152 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2153 [Andy Polyakov]
2154
2155 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2156 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2157 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2158 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2159 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2160 [Steve Henson]
2161
2162 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2163 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2164 the new parameter format automatically.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2168 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2169 [Steve Henson]
2170
2171 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2172 [Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2175 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2176 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2177 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2178 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2179 [Steve Henson]
2180
2181 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2182 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2183 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2184 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2185 to set list of supported curves.
2186 [Steve Henson]
2187
2188 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2189 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2190 to print out received values.
2191 [Steve Henson]
2192
2193 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2194 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2195 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2199 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2203 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2207 certificates.
2208 [Steve Henson]
2209
2210 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2211 the certificate.
2212 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2213 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2214 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2215
2216 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2217
2218 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2219 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2220
2221 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2222
2223 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2224 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2225 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2226 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2227 (CVE-2014-3571)
2228 [Steve Henson]
2229
2230 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2231 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2232 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2233 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2234 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2235 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2236 (CVE-2015-0206)
2237 [Matt Caswell]
2238
2239 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2240 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2241 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2242 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2243 (CVE-2014-3569)
2244 [Kurt Roeckx]
2245
2246 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2247 ECDH ciphersuites.
2248
2249 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2250 reporting this issue.
2251 (CVE-2014-3572)
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2255 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2256 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2257 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2258 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2259 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2260 (CVE-2015-0204)
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2264 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2265 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2266 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2267 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2268 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2269 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2270 this issue.
2271 (CVE-2015-0205)
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2275 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2276
2277 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2278 and can vary with the CTX.
2279 [Adam Langley]
2280
2281 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2282
2283 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2284 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2285 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2286 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2287 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2288
2289 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2290
2291 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2292 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2293
2294 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2295
2296 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2297 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2298 errors for some broken certificates.
2299
2300 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2301
2302 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2303
2304 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2305 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2306
2307 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2308 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2309 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2310 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2311
2312 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2313 of the OpenSSL core team.
2314
2315 (CVE-2014-8275)
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2319 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2320 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2321 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2322 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2323 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2324 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2325 the OpenSSL core team.
2326 (CVE-2014-3570)
2327 [Andy Polyakov]
2328
2329 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2330 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2331 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2332 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2333 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2334
2335 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2336 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2337 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2338 [Emilia Käsper]
2339
2340 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2341 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2342 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2343 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2344 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2345
2346 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2347 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2348 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2349 [Emilia Käsper]
2350
2351 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2352
2353 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2354
2355 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2356 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2357 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2358 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2359 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2360 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2361 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2362
2363 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2364 (CVE-2014-3513)
2365 [OpenSSL team]
2366
2367 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2368
2369 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2370 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2371 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2372 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2373 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2374 attack.
2375 (CVE-2014-3567)
2376 [Steve Henson]
2377
2378 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2379
2380 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2381 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2382 configured to send them.
2383 (CVE-2014-3568)
2384 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2385
2386 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2387 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2388 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2389 (CVE-2014-3566)
2390 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2391
2392 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2393
2394 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2395 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2396 DigestInfo structures.
2397
2398 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2399
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2403
2404 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2405 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2406 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2407
2408 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2409 Group for discovering this issue.
2410 (CVE-2014-3512)
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2414 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2415 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2416 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2417 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2418
2419 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2420 researching this issue.
2421 (CVE-2014-3511)
2422 [David Benjamin]
2423
2424 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2425 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2426 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2427 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2428
2429 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2430 issue.
2431 (CVE-2014-3510)
2432 [Emilia Käsper]
2433
2434 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2435 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2436 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2437 (CVE-2014-3507)
2438 [Adam Langley]
2439
2440 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2441 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2442 Denial of Service attack.
2443 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2444 (CVE-2014-3506)
2445 [Adam Langley]
2446
2447 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2448 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2449 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2450 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2451 this issue.
2452 (CVE-2014-3505)
2453 [Adam Langley]
2454
2455 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2456 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2457 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2458
2459 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2460 issue.
2461 (CVE-2014-3509)
2462 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2463
2464 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2465 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2466 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2467 Denial of Service attack.
2468
2469 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2470 discovering and researching this issue.
2471 (CVE-2014-5139)
2472 [Steve Henson]
2473
2474 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2475 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2476 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2477 output to the attacker.
2478
2479 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2480 (CVE-2014-3508)
2481 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2482
2483 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2484 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2485 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2486 [Bodo Moeller]
2487
2488 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2489
2490 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2491 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2492 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2493
2494 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2495 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2496 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2499 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2500 in a DoS attack.
2501
2502 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2503 (CVE-2014-0221)
2504 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2507 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2508 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2509 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2510
2511 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2512 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2513
2514 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2515 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2516
2517 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2518 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2519 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2520
2521 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2522 compilation flags.
2523 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2524
2525 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2526 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2527 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2528
2529 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2530 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2531
2532 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2533
2534 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2535 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2536 server.
2537
2538 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2539 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2540 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2541 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2542
2543 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2544 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2545 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2546 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2547
2548 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2549 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2550 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2551
2552 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2553
2554 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2555 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2556 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2557 is at least 512 bytes long.
2558
2559 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2560
2561 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2562
2563 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2564 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2565 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2566 (CVE-2013-4353)
2567
2568 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2569 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2570 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2571 [Steve Henson]
2572
2573 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2574 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2575 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2576 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2577 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2578 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2579 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2580
2581 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2582
2583 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2584 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2585 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2586
2587 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2588
2589 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2590
2591 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2592 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2593 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2594
2595 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2596 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2597 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2598 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2599 (CVE-2013-0169)
2600 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2601
2602 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2603 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2604 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2605 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2606 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2607 (CVE-2012-2686)
2608 [Adam Langley]
2609
2610 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2611 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2615 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2616
2617 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2618 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2619 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2620 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2621 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2622
2623 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2627 if renegotiating.
2628 [Steve Henson]
2629
2630 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2631
2632 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2633 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2634
2635 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2636 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2637 (CVE-2012-2333)
2638 [Steve Henson]
2639
2640 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2641 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2642 [Steve Henson]
2643
2644 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2645 approved.
2646 [Steve Henson]
2647
2648 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2649
2650 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2651 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2652 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2653 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2654 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2655 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2656 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2657 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2658 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2659 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2660 [Steve Henson]
2661
2662 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2663 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2664 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2665 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2666 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2667 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2668 client side.
2669 [Andy Polyakov]
2670
2671 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2672
2673 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2674 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2675 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2676
2677 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2678 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2679 (CVE-2012-2110)
2680 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2681
2682 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2683 [Adam Langley]
2684
2685 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2686 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2687
2688 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2689 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2690 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2691 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2692 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2693 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2694 Most broken servers should now work.
2695 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2696 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2697 [Steve Henson]
2698
2699 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2700 [Andy Polyakov]
2701
2702 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2703
2704 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2705 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2706 [Steve Henson]
2707
2708 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2709 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2710 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2711 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2712 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2713 [Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2716 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2717 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2718 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2719 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2720 [Steve Henson]
2721
2722 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2723 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2724
2725 *) Add support for SCTP.
2726 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2727
2728 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2729 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2730
2731 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2732
2733 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2734 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2735 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2736 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2737 - s390x: z196 support;
2738 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2739
2740 [Andy Polyakov]
2741
2742 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2743 (removal of unnecessary code)
2744 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2745
2746 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2747 [Eric Rescorla]
2748
2749 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2750 [Eric Rescorla]
2751
2752 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2753 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2754 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2755 by Google.
2756 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2757
2758 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2759 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2760 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2761 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2762 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2763
2764 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2765 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2766 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2767
2768 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2769 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2770 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2771
2772 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2773 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2774 implementations).
2775 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2776
2777 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2778 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2779 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2780 [Steve Henson]
2781
2782 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2783 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2784 particular PSS.
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2788 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2789 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2793 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2794 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2795 the appropriate parameters.
2796 [Steve Henson]
2797
2798 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2799 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2800 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2801 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2802 against a number of sample certificates.
2803 [Steve Henson]
2804
2805 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2806 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2807
2808 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2809 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2810
2811 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2812 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2813 parameters r, s.
2814 [Steve Henson]
2815
2816 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2817 RFC3211.
2818 [Steve Henson]
2819
2820 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2821 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2822 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2823 password based CMS).
2824 [Steve Henson]
2825
2826 *) Session-handling fixes:
2827 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2828 but also support Session Tickets.
2829 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2830 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2831 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2832 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2833 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2834 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2835
2836 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2837 [Bodo Moeller]
2838
2839 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2840
2841 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2842 [Andy Polyakov]
2843
2844 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2845 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2846 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2847 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2848 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2849 [Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2852 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2853 [Steve Henson]
2854
2855 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2856 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2857 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2861 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2862 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2863 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2867 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2868 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2872 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2878 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2879 [Steve Henson]
2880
2881 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2882 [Steve Henson]
2883
2884 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2885 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2889 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2893 [Steve Henson]
2894
2895 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2896 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2897 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2898 [Steve Henson]
2899
2900 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2901 [Steve Henson]
2902
2903 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2907 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2908 [Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2911 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2912 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2919 and enable MD5.
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2923 FIPS modules versions.
2924 [Steve Henson]
2925
2926 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2927 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2928 until after the certificate request message is received.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2932 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2933 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2934 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2935 [Steve Henson]
2936
2937 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2938 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2939 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2940 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2941 [Steve Henson]
2942
2943 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2944 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2945 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2946 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2947 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2948 and version checking.
2949 [Steve Henson]
2950
2951 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2952 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2953 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2954 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2955 [Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) Add SRP support.
2958 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2959
2960 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2964 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2965 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2966
2967 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2968 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2969 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2970 [Steve Henson]
2971
2972 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2973 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2976 a few changes are required:
2977
2978 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2979 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2980 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2981 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2982 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2986
2987 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2988 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2989 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2990 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2991 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2992 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2993 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2994 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2995 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2999 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3000 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3004
3005 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3006 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3007 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3008 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3009 [Antonio Martin]
3010
3011 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3012
3013 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3014 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3015 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3016 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3017 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3018 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3019 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3020 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3021 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3022 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3023 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3024 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3025 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3026
3027 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3028 (CVE-2011-4576)
3029 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3030
3031 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3032 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3033 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3034 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3035
3036 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3037 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3038
3039 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3040 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3041 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3042 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3043
3044 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3045 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3046
3047 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3048 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3049
3050 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3051 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3052
3053 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3054 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3055 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3056
3057 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3058 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3059 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3060
3061 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3062 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3063 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3064 the last update always remained unused).
3065 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3066
3067 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3068 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3069
3070 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3071
3072 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3073 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3074 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3075
3076 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3077 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3078 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3079
3080 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3081 [Bodo Moeller]
3082
3083 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3084 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3085 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3086 [Steve Henson]
3087
3088 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3089 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3090
3091 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3092
3093 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3094
3095 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3096
3097 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3098 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3099
3100 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3101 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3102 ambiguous.
3103 [Steve Henson]
3104
3105 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3106
3107 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3108 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3109 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3113 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3114 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3115 [Ben Laurie]
3116
3117 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3118
3119 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3120 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3121 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3122 [Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3125 a DLL.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3129
3130 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3131 (CVE-2010-1633)
3132 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3133
3134 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3135
3136 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3137 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3138 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3142 [Steve Henson]
3143
3144 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3145 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3146 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3147
3148 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3149 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3150 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3151 [Steve Henson]
3152
3153 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3154 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3155 [Steve Henson]
3156
3157 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3158 some responders need this.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3162 correctly.
3163 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3164
3165 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3166 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3167 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3174 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3175 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3176 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3177 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3178 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3179 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3180 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3184 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3185 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3186 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3187
3188 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3189 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3190
3191 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3192 be used on C++.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3196 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3197 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3198 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3199 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3200 attempting to work them out.
3201 [Steve Henson]
3202
3203 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3204 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3205 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3206 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3207 [Steve Henson]
3208
3209 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3210 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3211 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3212 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3213 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3214 [Steve Henson]
3215
3216 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3217 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3218 you can do:
3219
3220 openssl sha256 foo
3221
3222 as well as:
3223
3224 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3225
3226 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3227
3228 [Steve Henson]
3229
3230 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3231 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3232
3233 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3234 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3235
3236 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3237 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3238 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3239 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3240 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3241 [Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3244 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3245 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3249 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3253 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3254
3255 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3256 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3257 [Steve Henson]
3258
3259 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3260 [Ben Laurie]
3261
3262 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3263 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3264 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3265 CONF_VALUE.
3266 [Ben Laurie]
3267
3268 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3269 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3270 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3271 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3272 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3273 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3277 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3278
3279 This work was sponsored by Google.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3283 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3284 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3285 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3286 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3287 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3288 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3289 default.
3290
3291 This work was sponsored by Google.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3295
3296 This work was sponsored by Google.
3297 [Steve Henson]
3298
3299 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3300 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3301 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3302 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3303
3304 This work was sponsored by Google.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3308 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3309 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3310 CRL functionality in future.
3311
3312 This work was sponsored by Google.
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3316
3317 This work was sponsored by Google.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3321 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3322
3323 This work was sponsored by Google.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3327 and URI types are currently supported.
3328
3329 This work was sponsored by Google.
3330 [Steve Henson]
3331
3332 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3333 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3334 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3335 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3336 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3337 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3338 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3339 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3340
3341 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3342 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3343 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3344
3345 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3346 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3347 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3348 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3349
3350 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3351 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3352 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3353 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3354 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3355 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3356 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3357 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3358 of &errno.)
3359 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3360
3361 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3362 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3363 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3364
3365 This work was sponsored by Google.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3369 [Ben Laurie]
3370
3371 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3372 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3373 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3374 [Ben Laurie]
3375
3376 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3377 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3378 [Nick Mathewson]
3379
3380 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3381 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3382 [Ben Laurie]
3383
3384 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3385 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3386 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3387 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3388 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3389 content types and variants.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3396 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3397 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3398 files from the associated perl scripts.
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3402 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3403 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3404
3405 *) s390x assembler pack.
3406 [Andy Polyakov]
3407
3408 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3409 "family."
3410 [Andy Polyakov]
3411
3412 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3413 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3414 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3415 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3416 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3417 to use. For example, specify an option
3418
3419 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3420
3421 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3422 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3423 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3424 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3425 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3426 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3427
3428 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3429 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3430 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3431 return non-zero for success.
3432
3433 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3434 by using
3435
3436 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3437 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3438
3439 where
3440
3441 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3442 void *arg;
3443
3444 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3445 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3446 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3447 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3448 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3449 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3450 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3451 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3452 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3453
3454 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3455 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3456 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3457 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3458 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3459 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3460
3461 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3462 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3463 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3464 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3465 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3466 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3467
3468 [Bodo Moeller]
3469
3470 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3471 MAC.
3472
3473 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3474
3475 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3476 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3477 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3478 supported.
3479
3480 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3481 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3482 SSL_SESSION.
3483
3484 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3485 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3486 with no application modification.
3487
3488 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3489 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3490
3491 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3492 or server extensions to be examined.
3493
3494 This work was sponsored by Google.
3495 [Steve Henson]
3496
3497 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3498 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3499 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3502 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3503 ciphersuite support.
3504 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3507 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3508 to output in BER and PEM format.
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3512 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3513 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3514 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3515 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3516 [Steve Henson]
3517
3518 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3519 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3520 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3521 utility.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3525 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3526 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3527 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3528 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3529 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3530 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3531 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3532 enabled again.
3533
3534 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3535 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3536 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3537 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3538
3539 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3540 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3541 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3542 the default order.
3543 [Bodo Moeller]
3544
3545 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3546 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3547 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3548 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3549 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3550 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3551 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3552 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3553 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3554
3555 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3556 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3557 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3558 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3559 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3560 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3561 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3562 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3563 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3564 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3565 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3566 kinds of kludges.
3567
3568 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3569 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3570 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3571
3572 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3573 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3574 "CAMELLIA256".
3575 [Bodo Moeller]
3576
3577 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3578 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3579 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3580 [Nils Larsch]
3581
3582 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3583 it yet and it is largely untested.
3584 [Steve Henson]
3585
3586 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3587 [Nils Larsch]
3588
3589 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3590 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3591 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3592 [Steve Henson]
3593
3594 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3595 [Andy Polyakov]
3596
3597 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3598 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3599 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3600 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3604 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3605 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3606 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3607 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3611 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3612 [Cryptocom]
3613
3614 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3615 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3616 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3617 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3621 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3622 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3623 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3627 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3631 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3632 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3633 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3634 [Steve Henson]
3635
3636 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3637 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3638 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3642 utility.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3646 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3650 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3651 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3652 if necessary.
3653 [Steve Henson]
3654
3655 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3656 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3657 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3661 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3662 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3663 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3664 [Steve Henson]
3665
3666 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3667 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3668 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3669 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3670 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3671 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3672 [Douglas Stebila]
3673
3674 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3675 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3676 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3677 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3678 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3679
3680 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3681 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3682 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3683 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3684 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3685 protocol).
3686
3687 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3688 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3689 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3690 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3691
3692 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3693 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3694 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3695 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3696 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3697
3698 aECDH - ECDH cert
3699 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3700 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3701
3702 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3703 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3704
3705 [Bodo Moeller]
3706
3707 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3708 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3712 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3713 [Steve Henson]
3714
3715 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3716 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3717 functional reference processing.
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3721 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3722 process.
3723 [Steve Henson]
3724
3725 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3726 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3727 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3731 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3732 application to support multiple signers.
3733 [Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3736 digest MAC.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3740 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3741 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3742 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3743 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3747 new API.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3751 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3752 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3753 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3754 a no op.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3758 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3759 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3760 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3761 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3762 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3763 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3764 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3768 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3769 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3770 between digests and public key types.
3771 [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3774 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3775 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3776 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3780 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3781 key ASN1 method.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3785 [Steve Henson]
3786
3787 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3788 pkeyutl.
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3792 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3793 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3794 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3795 pkey, genpkey.
3796 [Steve Henson]
3797
3798 *) BeOS support.
3799 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3800
3801 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3802 manual pages.
3803 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3804
3805 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3806 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3807 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3808 functionality for RSA.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3812 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3813 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3817 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3818 [Steve Henson]
3819
3820 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3821 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3822 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3826 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3827 [Douglas Stebila]
3828
3829 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3830 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3834 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3835 type.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3839 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3840 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3841 structure.
3842 [Steve Henson]
3843
3844 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3845 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3846 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3847 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3848 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3849 of public and private key structures.
3850 [Steve Henson]
3851
3852 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3853 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3854 [Douglas Stebila]
3855
3856 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3857 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3858 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3859
3860 New ciphersuites:
3861 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3862 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3863
3864 New functions:
3865 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3866 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3867 SSL_get_psk_identity
3868 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3869
3870 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3871
3872 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3873 and response verification functionality.
3874 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3875
3876 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3877 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3878 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3879 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3880 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3881 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3882 server_name extension.
3883
3884 New functions (subject to change):
3885
3886 SSL_get_servername()
3887 SSL_get_servername_type()
3888 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3889
3890 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3891
3892 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3893 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3894 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3895 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3896 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3897
3898 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3899
3900 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3901 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3902 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3903 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3904 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3905 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3906 option.
3907
3908 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3909
3910 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3911 [Andy Polyakov]
3912
3913 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3914 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3915 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3916 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3917 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3918 [Andy Polyakov]
3919
3920 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3921 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3922 macro.
3923 [Bodo Moeller]
3924
3925 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3926 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3927 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3928 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3929 [Andy Polyakov]
3930
3931 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3932 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3933 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3934 using the maximum available value.
3935 [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3938 in addition to the text details.
3939 [Bodo Moeller]
3940
3941 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3942 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3943 handle several customised structures at all.
3944 [Steve Henson]
3945
3946 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3947 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3948 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3949 [Steve Henson]
3950
3951 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3952 [Steve Henson]
3953
3954 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3955 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3956 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3957 [Steve Henson]
3958
3959 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3960 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3961 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3962 [Nils Larsch]
3963
3964 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3965 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3966 all fields.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3973 [NTT]
3974
3975 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3976
3977 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3978 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3979 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3980 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3981 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3982 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3983 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3984 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3985
3986 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3987 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3988 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3989
3990 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3991
3992 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3993 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3994
3995 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3996 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3997 [Bodo Moeller]
3998
3999 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4000 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4001 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4005 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4006 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4007 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4008 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4009 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4010 [Steve Henson]
4011
4012 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4013 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4014 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4018 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4019 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4020 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4021 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4022 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4023 CVE-2009-4355.
4024 [Steve Henson]
4025
4026 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4027 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4028 [Bodo Moeller]
4029
4030 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4031 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4032 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4033 [Steve Henson]
4034
4035 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4036 [Steve Henson]
4037
4038 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4039 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4040 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4041 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4042 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4043 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4044 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4045 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4046 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4047 [Steve Henson]
4048
4049 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4050 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4051 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4055 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4056 [Steve Henson]
4057
4058 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4059 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4060 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4061 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4062 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4063 know what you are doing.
4064 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4067 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4068 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4069 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4070 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4071 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4072 the handshake.
4073 [Steve Henson]
4074
4075 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4076 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4077 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4078 correctly.
4079 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4080
4081 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4082 warnings in other configurations.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4086 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4087 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4088 systems need.
4089 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4090
4091 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4092 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4093 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4094
4095 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4096 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4097 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4098 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4099 [Steve Henson]
4100
4101 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4102 and restored.
4103 [Steve Henson]
4104
4105 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4106 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4107 clash.
4108 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4109
4110 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4111 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4112 other than a simple chain.
4113 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4114
4115 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4116 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4117 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4118 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4119 [Steve Henson]
4120
4121 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4122 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4123 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4124 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4125 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4126 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4127 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4128 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4129 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4130
4131 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4132 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4133 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4134 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4135 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4136 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4137 (CVE-2009-1377)
4138 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4139
4140 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4141 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4142 [Daniel Mentz]
4143
4144 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4145 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4146
4147 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4148 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4149
4150 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4151
4152 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4153 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4154 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4155 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4156 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4157 you're doing.
4158 [Ben Laurie]
4159
4160 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4161
4162 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4163 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4164 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4165 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4166
4167 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4168 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4169 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4170 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4171
4172 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4173 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4174 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4175 [Steve Henson]
4176
4177 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4178 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4179 level.
4180 [Steve Henson]
4181
4182 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4183 to handle some structures.
4184 [Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4187 for a '\n'
4188 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4189
4190 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4191 [Matthieu Herrb]
4192
4193 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4194 [Steve Henson]
4195
4196 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4200 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4201 chosen compiler.
4202 [Ben Laurie]
4203
4204 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4205
4206 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4207 (CVE-2008-5077).
4208 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4209
4210 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4211 [Ben Laurie]
4212
4213 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4214 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4215 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4216 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4217
4218 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4219 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4220
4221 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4222 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4223 [Bodo Moeller]
4224
4225 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4226 s_client and s_server.
4227 [Ben Laurie]
4228
4229 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4230 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4231
4232 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4233 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4234
4235 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4236 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4237 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4238 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4239 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4240 [Bodo Moeller]
4241
4242 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4243
4244 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4245 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4246 [PR #1679]
4247
4248 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4249 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4250 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4251
4252 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4253 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4254 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4255 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4256
4257 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4258 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4259
4260 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4261
4262 *) Various precautionary measures:
4263
4264 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4265
4266 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4267 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4268 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4269
4270 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4271 outside the expected range.
4272
4273 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4274 builds.
4275
4276 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4277
4278 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4279 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4280 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4281
4282 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4286 [Huang Ying]
4287
4288 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4289
4290 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4294 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4295 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4296
4297 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4298 [Steve Henson]
4299
4300 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4301 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4302 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4303 files.
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4307
4308 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4309 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4310 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4311 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4312
4313 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4314 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4315 [Joe Orton]
4316
4317 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4318
4319 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4320 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4321 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4322
4323 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4324
4325 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4326 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4327 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4328 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4329 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4330
4331 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4332 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4333 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4334 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4335 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4336 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4337 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4338
4339 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4340
4341 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4342 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4343 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4344 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4345 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4346
4347 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4348 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4349
4350 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4351 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4352 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4353 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4354 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4355
4356 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4357
4358 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4359 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4360 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4361 sets may exist with different names.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4365 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4366 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4367 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4368 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4369 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4370 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4371 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4372 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4373 implementation.
4374 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4375
4376 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4377 implementation in the following ways:
4378
4379 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4380 hard coded.
4381
4382 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4383 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4384 ignored for embedded content.
4385
4386 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4387 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4388 [Steve Henson]
4389
4390 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4391 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4392 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4393 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4394
4395 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4396 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4397 [Steve Henson]
4398
4399 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4400 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4404 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4405 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4406 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4407 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4408 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4409 data.
4410 [Steve Henson]
4411
4412 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4413 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4414 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4415
4416 *) Netware support:
4417
4418 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4419 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4420 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4421 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4422 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4423 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4424 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4425 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4426 platform
4427 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4428 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4429 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4430 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4431 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4432 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4433 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4434
4435 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4436 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4437 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4438 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4439 to s_client and s_server.
4440 [Steve Henson]
4441
4442 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4443
4444 *) Fix various bugs:
4445 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4446 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4447 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4448 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4449 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4450
4451 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4452
4453 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4454 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4455 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4456 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4457 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4458 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4459 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4460 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4461 [Andy Polyakov]
4462
4463 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4464 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4465 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4466 Steve Henson]
4467
4468 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4469 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4470 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4471 supported.
4472
4473 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4474 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4475 SSL_SESSION.
4476
4477 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4478 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4479 with no application modification.
4480
4481 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4482 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4483
4484 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4485 or server extensions to be examined.
4486
4487 This work was sponsored by Google.
4488 [Steve Henson]
4489
4490 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4491 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4492 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4493 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4494 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4495 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4496 server_name extension.
4497
4498 New functions (subject to change):
4499
4500 SSL_get_servername()
4501 SSL_get_servername_type()
4502 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4503
4504 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4505
4506 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4507 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4508 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4509 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4510 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4511
4512 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4513
4514 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4515 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4516 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4517 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4518 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4519 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4520 option.
4521
4522 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4523
4524 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4528 [Andy Polyakov]
4529
4530 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4531 (which previously caused an internal error).
4532 [Bodo Moeller]
4533
4534 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4535 [Ben Laurie]
4536
4537 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4538 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4539
4540 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4541 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4542 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4543
4544 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4545 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4546 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4547 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4548
4549 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4550 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4551 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4552 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4553
4554 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4555 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4556 information. For detailed background information, see
4557 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4558 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4559 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4560 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4561 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4562 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4563 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4564 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4565 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4566 remove a conditional branch.
4567
4568 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4569 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4570 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4571 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4572 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4573 remains as a deprecated alias.
4574
4575 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4576 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4577 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4578 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4579
4580 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4581 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4582 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4583 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4584 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4585 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4586 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4587 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4588
4589 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4590
4591 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4592 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4593 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4594 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4595 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4596 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4597 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4598 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4599 in a different context.
4600 [Bodo Moeller]
4601
4602 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4603 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4604 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4605 [Bodo Moeller]
4606
4607 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4608 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4609 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4610
4611 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4612
4613 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4614 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4615 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4616 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4617 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4618 [Victor Duchovni]
4619
4620 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4621 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4622 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4623 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4624 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4625 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4626 [Bodo Moeller]
4627
4628 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4629 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4630 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4631 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4632 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4633 [Bodo Moeller]
4634
4635 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4636 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4637
4638 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4639 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4640 Improve header file function name parsing.
4641 [Steve Henson]
4642
4643 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4644 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4645 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4646
4647 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4648
4649 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4650 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4651 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4652
4653 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4654 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4655
4656 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4657 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4658
4659 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4660 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4661 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4662
4663 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4664 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4665 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4666 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4667 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4668 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4669 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4670 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4671 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4672
4673 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4674 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4675 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4676 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4677 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4678
4679 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4680 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4681 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4682 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4683 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4684 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4685 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4686 multiple values to extend the available space.
4687
4688 [Bodo Moeller]
4689
4690 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4691
4692 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4693 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4694
4695 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4696 [Ben Laurie]
4697
4698 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4699 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4700 undesirable limitations.
4701 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4702
4703 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4704 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4705 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4706 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4707 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4708 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4709 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4710 [Bodo Moeller]
4711
4712 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4713
4714 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4715 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4716 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4717
4718 The latter two were purportedly from
4719 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4720 appear there.
4721
4722 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4723 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4724 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4725 [Bodo Moeller]
4726
4727 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4728 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4729 [Bodo Moeller]
4730
4731 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4732 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4733 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4734 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4735
4736 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4737 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4738 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4739 [NTT]
4740
4741 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4742 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4743 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4744 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4745 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4746 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4747 [Steve Henson]
4748
4749 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4750
4751 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4752 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4753 [Steve Henson]
4754
4755 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4756 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4757
4758 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4759 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4760 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4761 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4762 [Douglas Stebila]
4763
4764 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4765 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4769 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4770 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4771 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4772 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4773 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4774 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4775 can't be loaded.
4776 [Steve Henson]
4777
4778 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4779 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4780 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4781 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4782 [Steve Henson]
4783
4784 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4785 under VC++ build system.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4789 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4790 [Richard Levitte]
4791
4792 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4793
4794 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4795 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4796 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4797 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4798 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4799
4800 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4801 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4802 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4803
4804 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4808 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4809 [Nils Larsch]
4810
4811 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4812 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4813
4814 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4815 [Nick Mathewson]
4816
4817 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4818 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4819
4820 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4821 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4822 [Steve Henson]
4823
4824 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4825 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4826 smime utility.
4827 [Steve Henson]
4828
4829 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4830
4831 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4832 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4833
4834 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4835 [Richard Levitte]
4836
4837 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4838 key into the same file any more.
4839 [Richard Levitte]
4840
4841 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4842 [Andy Polyakov]
4843
4844 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4845 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4846
4847 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4848 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4849 [Richard Levitte]
4850
4851 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4852 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4853 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4854 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4855 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4856 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4857
4858 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4859 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4860 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4861 [Steve Henson]
4862
4863 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4864 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4865 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4866 - add new function for parameter creation
4867 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4868 BN_BLINDING parameters
4869 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4870 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4871 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4872 threads.
4873 [Nils Larsch]
4874
4875 *) Add support for DTLS.
4876 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4877
4878 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4879 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4880 [Walter Goulet]
4881
4882 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4883 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4884 [Nils Larsch]
4885
4886 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4887 the apps/openssl applications.
4888 [Nils Larsch]
4889
4890 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4891 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4892 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4893 [Ben Laurie]
4894
4895 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4896 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4897
4898 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4899 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4900
4901 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4902 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4903 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4904 avoid this algorithm.)
4905
4906 [Bodo Moeller]
4907
4908 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4909 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4910 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4911 [Richard Levitte]
4912
4913 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4914 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4915 [Andy Polyakov]
4916
4917 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4918 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4919 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4920 pod file:
4921
4922 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4923
4924 The blank line is mandatory.
4925
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4929 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4930 sources.
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4934 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4935
4936 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4937 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4938 to support policy checking and print out.
4939 [Steve Henson]
4940
4941 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4942 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4943 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4944 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4945
4946 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4947 [Geoff Thorpe]
4948
4949 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4950 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4951
4952 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4953 implementation contributed by IBM.
4954 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4955
4956 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4957 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4958 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4959 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4960
4961 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4962 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4963
4964 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4965 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4966 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4967 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4968 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4969 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4970 [Steve Henson]
4971
4972 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4973 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4974 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4975 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4976 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4977 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4978 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4979 [Geoff Thorpe]
4980
4981 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4982 [Steve Henson]
4983
4984 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4985 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4986 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4987 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4988 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4989 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4990 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4991 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4992 [Steve Henson]
4993
4994 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4995 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4996 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4997 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4998 [Steve Henson]
4999
5000 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5001 syntax:
5002
5003 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5004 [Steve Henson]
5005
5006 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5007 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5008 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5009 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5010 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5011 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5012 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5013 [Geoff Thorpe]
5014
5015 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5016 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5017 [Geoff Thorpe]
5018
5019 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5020 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5021 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5022 [Steve Henson]
5023
5024 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5025 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5026 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5027 below).
5028 [Geoff Thorpe]
5029
5030 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5031 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5032 [Richard Levitte]
5033
5034 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5035 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5036 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5037 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5038 [Geoff Thorpe]
5039
5040 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5041 initialised value as BN_new().
5042 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5043
5044 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5045 [Steve Henson]
5046
5047 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5048 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5049 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5050 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5051 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5052 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5053 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5054 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5055 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5056 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5057 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5058 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5059 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5060 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5061 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5062
5063 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5064 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5065 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5066 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5067 [Geoff Thorpe]
5068
5069 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5070 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5071 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5072 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5073 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5074 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5075 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5076 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5077 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5078 [Geoff Thorpe]
5079
5080 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5081 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5082 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5083 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5084 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5085 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5086 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5087 [Geoff Thorpe]
5088
5089 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5090 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5091 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5092 these have been updated also.
5093 [Geoff Thorpe]
5094
5095 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5096 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5097 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5098 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5099 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5100 functions.
5101 [Steve Henson]
5102
5103 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5104 structure of type "other".
5105 [Steve Henson]
5106
5107 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5108 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5109 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5110 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5111 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5112 situation in the script.
5113 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5114
5115 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5116 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5117 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5118 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5119 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5120 used as premaster secret.
5121 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5122
5123 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5124 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5125 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5126
5127 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5128 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5129
5130 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5131 control of the error stack.
5132 [Richard Levitte]
5133
5134 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5135 [Richard Levitte]
5136
5137 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5138 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5139 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5140 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5141 [Richard Levitte]
5142
5143 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5144 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5145 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5146 [Richard Levitte]
5147
5148 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5149 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5150 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5151 a memory area.
5152 [Richard Levitte]
5153
5154 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5155 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5156 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5157 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5158 [Richard Levitte]
5159
5160 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5161 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5162 the following flags are defined:
5163
5164 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5165 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5166 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5167 number.
5168
5169 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5170 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5171 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5172 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5173 returns zero.
5174 [Richard Levitte]
5175
5176 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5177 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5178 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5179 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5180 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5181 [Richard Levitte]
5182
5183 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5184 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5185 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5186 [Richard Levitte]
5187
5188 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5189 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5190 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5191 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5192 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5193 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5194 [Richard Levitte]
5195
5196 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5197 req and dirName.
5198 [Steve Henson]
5199
5200 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5201 [Steve Henson]
5202
5203 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5204 [Steve Henson]
5205
5206 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5207 [Steve Henson]
5208
5209 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5210 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5211 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5212 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5213 default implementation more easily.
5214 [Geoff Thorpe]
5215
5216 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5217 in config files.
5218 [Steve Henson]
5219
5220 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5221 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5222 [Richard Levitte]
5223
5224 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5225 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5226 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5227 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5228
5229 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5230 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5231 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5232 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5233 [Steve Henson]
5234
5235 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5236 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5237 to do it.
5238 [Richard Levitte]
5239
5240 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5241 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5242 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5243 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5244 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5245 scalar * generator).
5246 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5247
5248 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5249 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5250 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5251 correctly.
5252 [Steve Henson]
5253
5254 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5255 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5256 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5257 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5258 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5259 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5260 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5261 linker additions, eg;
5262 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5263 [Geoff Thorpe]
5264
5265 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5266 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5267 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5268 [Geoff Thorpe]
5269
5270 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5271 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5272 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5273 via PR#459)
5274 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5275
5276 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5277 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5278 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5279 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5280 [Geoff Thorpe]
5281
5282 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5283 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5284 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5285 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5286 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5287 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5288 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5289 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5290 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5291 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5292
5293 Example for using the new callback interface:
5294
5295 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5296 void *my_arg = ...;
5297 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5298
5299 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5300
5301 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5302 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5303 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5304 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5305 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5306 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5307 */
5308
5309 [Geoff Thorpe]
5310
5311 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5312 available to TLS with the number defined in
5313 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5314 [Richard Levitte]
5315
5316 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5317 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5318
5319 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5320 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5321 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5322 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5323
5324 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5325 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5326
5327 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5328 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5329 well.
5330 [Richard Levitte]
5331
5332 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5333 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5334 [Richard Levitte]
5335
5336 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5337 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5338 and a macro that behave like
5339 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5340
5341 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5342 [Nils Larsch]
5343
5344 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5345 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5346 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5347 if applicable.
5348 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5349
5350 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5351 [Bodo Moeller]
5352
5353 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5354 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5355 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5356 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5357 directory engines/.
5358 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5359 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5360 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5361 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5362 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5363 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5364 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5365 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5366
5367 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5368 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5369 [Richard Levitte]
5370
5371 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5372 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5373
5374 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5375 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5376 files while avoiding the low level API.
5377
5378 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5379 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5380 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5381 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5382
5383 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5384 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5385 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5386 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5387 instead of the low level API.
5388 [Steve Henson]
5389
5390 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5391 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5392 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5393 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5394 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5395 PKCS#7 code.
5396
5397 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5398 down to the template encoder.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5402 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5403 [Bodo Moeller]
5404
5405 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5406 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5407 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5408 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5409
5410 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5411 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5412
5413 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5414 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5415
5416 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5417 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5418 [Bodo Moeller]
5419
5420 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5421 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5422 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5426 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5427
5428 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5429 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5430
5431 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5432 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5433 New EC_METHOD:
5434
5435 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5436
5437 New API functions:
5438
5439 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5440 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5441 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5442 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5443 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5444 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5445
5446 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5447 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5448 enable it).
5449
5450 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5451 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5452 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5453 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5454 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5455 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5456 various internal method names.)
5457
5458 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5459 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5460
5461 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5462 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5463
5464 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5465 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5466
5467 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5468 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5469 methods are undefined.
5470
5471 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5472 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5473
5474 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5475 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5476 length of the modulus.
5477
5478 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5479 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5480
5481 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5482 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5483
5484 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5485 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5486
5487 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5488 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5489 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5490
5491 BN_GF2m_add
5492 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5493 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5494 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5495 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5496 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5497 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5498 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5499 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5500 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5501
5502 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5503 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5504
5505 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5506 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5507 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5508 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5509 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5510 where
5511 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5512 This applies to the following functions:
5513
5514 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5515 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5516 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5517 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5518 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5519 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5520 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5521 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5522 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5523 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5524
5525 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5526
5527 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5528 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5529
5530 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5531
5532 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5533 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5534 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5535 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5536 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5537
5538 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5539 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5540
5541 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5542 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5543 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5544
5545 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5546 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5547
5548 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5549 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5550 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5551 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5552 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5553
5554 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5555 functions
5556 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5557 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5558 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5559 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5560 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5561 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5562 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5563 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5564 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5565 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5566 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5567 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5568
5569 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5570 functions
5571 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5572 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5573 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5574 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5575 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5576
5577 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5578 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5579 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5580 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5581
5582 *) Add functions
5583 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5584 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5585 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5586 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5587 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5588 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5589 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5590
5591 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5592 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5593 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5594 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5595 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5596 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5597 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5598 adding different types of curves.
5599 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5600
5601 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5602 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5603 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5604 [Bodo Moeller]
5605
5606 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5607 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5608
5609 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5610 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5611 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5612 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5613
5614 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5615
5616 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5617 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5618
5619 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5620 library. Most notably,
5621 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5622 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5623 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5624 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5625 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5626 extracted before the specific public key;
5627 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5628 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5629
5630 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5631 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5632 function
5633 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5634 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5635 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5636 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5637 accessed via
5638 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5639 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5640 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5641
5642 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5643 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5644 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5645 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5646 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5647 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5648 differing sizes.
5649 [Richard Levitte]
5650
5651 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5652
5653 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5654 sensitive data.
5655 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5656
5657 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5658 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5659 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5660 [Bodo Moeller]
5661
5662 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5663 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5664 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5665 [Victor Duchovni]
5666
5667 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5668 [Steve Henson]
5669
5670 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5671 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5672 [Steve Henson]
5673
5674 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5675 run algorithm test programs.
5676 [Steve Henson]
5677
5678 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5679 [Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5682 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5683 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5684 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5685 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5686 [Bodo Moeller]
5687
5688 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5689 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5690 [Steve Henson]
5691
5692 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5693
5694 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5695 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5696 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5697
5698 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5699 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5702 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5703
5704 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5705 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5706 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5707
5708 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5709 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5710 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5711 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5712 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5713 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5714 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5715 [Bodo Moeller]
5716
5717 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5718
5719 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5720 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5721
5722 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5723 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5724 undesirable limitations.
5725 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5726
5727 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5728
5729 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5730 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5731 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5732
5733 The latter two were purportedly from
5734 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5735 appear there.
5736
5737 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5738 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5739 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5740 [Bodo Moeller]
5741
5742 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5743 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5744 [Bodo Moeller]
5745
5746 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5747
5748 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5749 module in FIPS mode.
5750 [Steve Henson]
5751
5752 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5753 [Steve Henson]
5754
5755 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5756 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5757 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5758 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5759 [Steve Henson]
5760
5761 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5762
5763 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5764 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5765 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5766 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5767 the difference induced by this change.
5768 [Andy Polyakov]
5769
5770 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5771
5772 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5773 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5774 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5775 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5776 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5777
5778 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5779 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5780 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5781
5782 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5783 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5784 [Steve Henson]
5785
5786 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5787 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5788 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5789 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5790 biased k.)
5791 [Bodo Moeller]
5792
5793 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5794 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5795 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5796 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5797 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5798
5799 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5800 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5801 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5802 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5803 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5804 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5805
5806 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5807
5808 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5809 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5810 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5811 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5812 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5813 [Bodo Moeller]
5814
5815 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5816 clients need.
5817 [Steve Henson]
5818
5819 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5820 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5821 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5822 [Steve Henson]
5823
5824 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5825 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5826 structures constant.
5827 [Steve Henson]
5828
5829 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5830
5831 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5832 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5833
5834 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5835 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5836 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5837 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5838 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5839 some needed definitions.
5840 [Steve Henson]
5841
5842 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5843 [Ulf Möller]
5844
5845 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5846 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5847 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5848 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5849 [Richard Levitte]
5850
5851 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5852
5853 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5854 server and client random values. Previously
5855 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5856 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5857
5858 This change has negligible security impact because:
5859
5860 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5861 data.
5862
5863 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5864 handshake.
5865
5866 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5867 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5868 values.
5869
5870 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5871 to our attention.
5872
5873 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5874
5875 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5876 [Ulf Möller]
5877
5878 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5879 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5880 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5881
5882 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5883 [Steve Henson]
5884
5885 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5886 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5887 [Andy Polyakov]
5888
5889 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5890 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5891 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5892
5893 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5897 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5898 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5899 certificates.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5903 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5904 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5905 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5906
5907 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5908 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5909 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5910 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5911 been given)
5912 [Richard Levitte]
5913
5914 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5915
5916 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5917 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5918 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5919 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5920 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5921 [Steve Henson]
5922
5923 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5924 [Steve Henson]
5925
5926 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5927 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5928
5929 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5930 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5931 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5932 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5933 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5934 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5935 rather than being initialized to 1.
5936 [Steve Henson]
5937
5938 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5939
5940 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5941 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5942 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5943
5944 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5945 (CVE-2004-0112)
5946 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5947
5948 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5949 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5950 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5951 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5952 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5953 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5954 [Richard Levitte]
5955
5956 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5957 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5958 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5959 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5960 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5961 for these cases.
5962 [Steve Henson]
5963
5964 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5965 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5966 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5967 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5968 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5969 [Steve Henson]
5970
5971 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5972 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5973 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5974 < 0.9.7.
5975 [Steve Henson]
5976
5977 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5978 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5979
5980 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5981 [Steve Henson]
5982
5983 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5984
5985 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5986
5987 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5988 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5989
5990 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5991
5992 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5993 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5994
5995 [Steve Henson]
5996
5997 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5998 exiting on the first error in a request.
5999 [Steve Henson]
6000
6001 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6002 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6003 specifications.
6004 [Steve Henson]
6005
6006 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6007 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6008 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6009 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6010
6011 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6012 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6013 [Richard Levitte]
6014
6015 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6016 blocks during encryption.
6017 [Richard Levitte]
6018
6019 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6020 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6021 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6022 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6023 certain size.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6027 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6028 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6029 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6030 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6031 parser.
6032 [Steve Henson]
6033
6034 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6035
6036 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6037 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6038 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6039 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6040 [Bodo Moeller]
6041
6042 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6043 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6044 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6045 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6046 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6047
6048 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6049 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6050 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6051 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6052 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6053 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6054 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6055 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6056 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6057 [Bodo Moeller]
6058
6059 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6060 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6061 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6062 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6063 [Geoff Thorpe]
6064
6065 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6066 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6067 [Ulf Moeller]
6068
6069 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6070
6071 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6072 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6073 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6074 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6075 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6076
6077 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6078 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6079 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6080
6081 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6082 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6083 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6084 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6085 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6086
6087 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6088 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6089 used by default when no-err is given.
6090 [Richard Levitte]
6091
6092 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6093 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6094
6095 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6096 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6097 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6098 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6099 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6100
6101 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6102 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6103 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6104 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6105
6106 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6107
6108 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6109
6110 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6111
6112 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6113 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6114 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6115 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6116 root is omitted).
6117 [Steve Henson]
6118
6119 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6120 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6121
6122 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6123 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6124 [Steve Henson]
6125
6126 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6127 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6128 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6129 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6130 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6131
6132 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6133 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6134 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6135 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6136 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6137 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6138 followup to PR #377.
6139 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6140
6141 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6142 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6143 [Andy Polyakov]
6144
6145 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6146 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6147 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6148 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6149
6150 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6151
6152 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6153 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6154
6155 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6156 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6157 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6158 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6159 client and server.
6160 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6161 PR #377.
6162 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6163
6164 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6165 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6166 removed entirely.
6167 [Richard Levitte]
6168
6169 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6170 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6171 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6172 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6173 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6174 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6175 of libcrypto.
6176 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6177 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6178 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6179 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6180 have to be made anyway).
6181 [Richard Levitte]
6182
6183 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6184 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6185 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6186 [Steve Henson]
6187
6188 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6189 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6190 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6191 [Richard Levitte]
6192
6193 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6194 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6195 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6196
6197 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6198 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6199 edit numbers of the version.
6200 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6201
6202 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6203 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6204 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6205
6206 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6207 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6208
6209 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6210 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6211 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6212
6213 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6214 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6215
6216 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6218
6219 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6220 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6221
6222 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6224
6225 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6226 overflows.
6227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6228
6229 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6230 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6231 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6232
6233 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6234 representations in a platform independent manner.
6235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6236
6237 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6238 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6240
6241 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6242 indents.
6243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6244
6245 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6247
6248 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6249 full. Fixed.
6250 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6251
6252 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6253 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6255
6256 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6257 unconditionally).
6258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6259
6260 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6262
6263 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6264 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6265
6266 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6271
6272 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6273 CBCParameter.
6274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6275
6276 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6278
6279 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6281
6282 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6283 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6284 exploitable.
6285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6286
6287 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6288 the 0.9.6 release series:
6289
6290 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6291 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6292 (CVE-2002-0657)
6293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6294
6295 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6296 [Richard Levitte]
6297
6298 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6299 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6300
6301 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6302 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6303
6304 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6305 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6306 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6307 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6308
6309 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6310 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6311 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6312
6313 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6314 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6315 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6316 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6317
6318 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6319 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6320 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6321 some local tweaks:
6322
6323 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6324 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6325 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6326 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6327 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6328 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6329 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6330 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6331 done
6332
6333 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6334 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6335 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6336 [Richard Levitte]
6337
6338 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6339 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6340 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6341 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6342 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6343
6344 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6345 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6346
6347 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6348 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6349 [Richard Levitte]
6350
6351 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6352 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6353 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6354 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6355 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6356 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6357 [Steve Henson]
6358
6359 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6360 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6361 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6365 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6366 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6367
6368 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6369 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6370 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6371 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6372 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6373 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6374 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6375 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6376
6377 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6378 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6379 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6380 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6381 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6382 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6383 [Steve Henson]
6384
6385 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6386 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6387 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6388 declaration has been changed from
6389 int (*cb)()
6390 into
6391 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6392 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6393 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6394 has been changed into
6395 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6396
6397 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6398 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6399 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6400
6401 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6402 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6403
6404 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6405 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6406 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6407 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6408 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6409 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6410 always load it have also been added.
6411 [Steve Henson]
6412
6413 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6414 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6415 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6416
6417 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6418
6419 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6420 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6421 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6422
6423 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6424 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6425 command line option can be used to specify an
6426 alternative file.
6427 [Steve Henson]
6428
6429 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6430 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6431 [Steve Henson]
6432
6433 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6434 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6435 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6436 [Steve Henson]
6437
6438 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6439 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6440 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6441 to work with the new engine framework.
6442 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6443
6444 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6445 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6446 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6447 to work with the new engine framework.
6448 [Richard Levitte]
6449
6450 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6451 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6452 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6453
6454 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6455 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6456
6457 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6458 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6459 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6460 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6461 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6462 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6463
6464 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6465 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6466
6467 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6468 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6469
6470 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6471 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6472 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6473 [Ben Laurie]
6474
6475 *) Add new functions
6476 ERR_peek_last_error
6477 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6478 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6479 These are similar to
6480 ERR_peek_error
6481 ERR_peek_error_line
6482 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6483 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6484 still in the error queue.
6485 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6486
6487 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6488 like:
6489 default_algorithms = ALL
6490 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6494 [Steve Henson]
6495
6496 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6500 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6501 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6502 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6503
6504 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6505 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6506
6507 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6508 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6509
6510 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6511 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6512 [Bodo Moeller]
6513
6514 *) New functions/macros
6515
6516 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6517 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6518 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6519 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6520
6521 to request calling a callback function
6522
6523 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6524 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6525
6526 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6527 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6528 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6529 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6530 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6531 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6532 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6533 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6534 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6535 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6536
6537 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6538 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6539 [Bodo Moeller]
6540
6541 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6542 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6543 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6544 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6545 the configuration scripts.
6546
6547 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6548 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6549 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6550
6551 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6552 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6553
6554 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6555 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6556 when reusing an existing buffer.
6557 [Bodo Moeller]
6558
6559 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6560 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6561 [Steve Henson]
6562
6563 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6564 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6565 [Ben Laurie]
6566
6567 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6568 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6569 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6570 has the same effect.
6571 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6572
6573 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6574 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6575 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6576 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6577 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6578 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6579 exception.
6580
6581 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6582 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6583 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6584 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6585
6586 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6587 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6588 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6589 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6590
6591 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6592 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6593 won't work.
6594
6595 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6596 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6597 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6598 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6599 default), and then completely removed.
6600 [Richard Levitte]
6601
6602 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6603 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6604 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6605 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6606 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6607 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6608 particular extension is supported.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6612 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6613 [Steve Henson]
6614
6615 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6616 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6617 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6618 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6619 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6620 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6621 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6622 requires the destination to be valid.
6623
6624 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6625 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6626 [Steve Henson]
6627
6628 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6629 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6630 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6631 [Bodo Moeller]
6632
6633 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6634 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6635
6636 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6637 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6638 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6639 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6640 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6641 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6642 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6643 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6644 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6645 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6646 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6647 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6648 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6649 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6650 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6651 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6652 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6653 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6654 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6655 the new code.
6656 [Geoff Thorpe]
6657
6658 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6659 [Steve Henson]
6660
6661 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6662 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6663 become part of libeay.num as well.
6664 [Richard Levitte]
6665
6666 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6667 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6668 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6669 false once a handshake has been completed.
6670 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6671 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6672 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6673 client has followed the request.)
6674 [Bodo Moeller]
6675
6676 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6677 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6678 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6679 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6680
6681 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6682 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6683 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6684 [Bodo Moeller]
6685
6686 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6690 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6691 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6692 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6693
6694 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6695 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6696 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6697
6698 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6699 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6700 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6701 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6702 [Geoff Thorpe]
6703
6704 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6705 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6706 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6707 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6708 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6709 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6710 [Geoff Thorpe]
6711
6712 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6713 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6714 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6715 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6716 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6717 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6718 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6719 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6720 [Geoff Thorpe]
6721
6722 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6723 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6724 [Geoff Thorpe]
6725
6726 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6727 [Ben Laurie]
6728
6729 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6730 md_data void pointer.
6731 [Ben Laurie]
6732
6733 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6734 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6735 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6736 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6737 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6738 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6739 [Ben Laurie]
6740
6741 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6742 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6743 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6744 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6745 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6746 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6747 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6748 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6749 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6750 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6751 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6752 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6753 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6754 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6755 rather than letting it slide.
6756
6757 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6758 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6759 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6760 [Geoff Thorpe]
6761
6762 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6763 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6764 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6765 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6766 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6767 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6768 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6769 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6770 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6771 [Geoff Thorpe]
6772
6773 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6774 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6775 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6776 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6777 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6778
6779 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6780 [Geoff Thorpe]
6781
6782 *) Add EVP test program.
6783 [Ben Laurie]
6784
6785 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6786 [Ben Laurie]
6787
6788 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6789 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6790 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6791 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6792 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6793 [Steve Henson]
6794
6795 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6796 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6797 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6798 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6799 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6800 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6801 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6802
6803 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6804 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6805 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6806 Usage example:
6807
6808 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6809
6810 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6811 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6812 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6813 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6814 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6815
6816 [Ben Laurie]
6817
6818 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6819 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6820 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6821 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6822 anyway): E.g.,
6823
6824 des_key_schedule ks;
6825
6826 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6827 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6828
6829 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6830 [Ben Laurie]
6831
6832 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6833 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6834 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6835 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6836 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6837 functions prevents this.
6838 [Steve Henson]
6839
6840 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6841 [Ben Laurie]
6842
6843 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6844 correct _ecb suffix.
6845 [Ben Laurie]
6846
6847 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6848 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6849 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6850 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6851 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6852 [Steve Henson]
6853
6854 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6855 [Richard Levitte]
6856
6857 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6858 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6859 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6860 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6861
6862 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6863 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6864
6865 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6866 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6867 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6868 via Richard Levitte]
6869
6870 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6871 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6872 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6873 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6874 [Geoff Thorpe]
6875
6876 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6877 Before:
6878 encrypt
6879 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6880 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6881 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6886 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6887 After:
6888 encrypt
6889 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6890 decrypt
6891 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6892 [Ben Laurie]
6893
6894 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6895 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6896
6897 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6898 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6899 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6900 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6901 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6902 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6906 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6907 [Richard Levitte]
6908
6909 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6910 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6911 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6912 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6913
6914 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6915 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6916 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6917 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6918 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6919 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6920 callback.
6921 [Richard Levitte]
6922
6923 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6924 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6925 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6926 and interrupts/cancellations.
6927 [Richard Levitte]
6928
6929 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6930 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6931 [Steve Henson]
6932
6933 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6934 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6935 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6936
6937 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6938 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6939 kind of callback.
6940 [Richard Levitte]
6941
6942 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6943 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6944 than this minimum value is recommended.
6945 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6946
6947 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6948 that are easily reachable.
6949 [Richard Levitte]
6950
6951 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6952 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6953
6954 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6955
6956 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6957 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6958 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6959 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6960 [Steve Henson]
6961
6962 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6963 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6964 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6965 [Steve Henson]
6966
6967 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6968 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6969 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6970 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6971 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6972 internally such as S/MIME.
6973
6974 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6975 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6976 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6977
6978 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6979 applications.
6980 [Steve Henson]
6981
6982 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6983 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6984 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6985 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6986
6987 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6988
6989 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6990
6991 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6992 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6993 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6994 handling.
6995 [Steve Henson]
6996
6997 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6998 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6999 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7000 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7001 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7002 a window system and the like.
7003 [Richard Levitte]
7004
7005 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7006 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7007 [Geoff]
7008
7009 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7010 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7011 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7012 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7013 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7014 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7015 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7016 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7017 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7018 ENGINE structure.
7019 [Geoff]
7020
7021 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7022 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7023 tag cache.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7027 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7028 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7029 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7030 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7031 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7032 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7033 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7034 [Geoff]
7035
7036 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7037 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7038 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7039 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7040 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7041 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7042 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7043 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7044 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7045 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7046 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7047 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7048 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7049 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7050 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7051 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7052 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7053 [Geoff]
7054
7055 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7056 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7057 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7058 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7059 internal engine_int.h header.
7060 [Geoff]
7061
7062 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7063 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7064 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7065 modify their own ones).
7066 [Geoff]
7067
7068 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7069 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7070 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7071 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7072 later on via ctrl() commands.
7073 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7074 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7075 structural references.
7076 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7077 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7078 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7079 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7080 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7081 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7082 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7083 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7084 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7085 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7086 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7087 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7088 [Geoff]
7089
7090 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7091 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7092 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7093 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7094 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7095 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7096 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7097 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7098 [Bodo Moeller]
7099
7100 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7101 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7102 [Steve Henson]
7103
7104 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7105 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7109 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7110 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7111 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7112 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7113 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7114 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7118 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7119 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7120 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7121 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7122
7123 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7124 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7125 generator).
7126 [Bodo Moeller]
7127
7128 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7129
7130 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7131 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7132 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7133
7134 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7135 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7136
7137 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7138 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7139 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7140
7141 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7142 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7143
7144 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7145 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7146
7147 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7148
7149 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7150 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7151 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7152 [Bodo Moeller]
7153
7154 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7155 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7156 [Richard Levitte]
7157
7158 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7159 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7160 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7161 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7162 is 40 of more characters long.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7166 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7167 pointers.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7171 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7172 [Bodo Moeller]
7173
7174 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7175 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7176 might.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7180
7181 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7182 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7183
7184 ASN1 error codes
7185 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7186 ...
7187 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7188 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7189 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7190 ...
7191 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7192 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7193
7194 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7195 [Bodo Moeller]
7196
7197 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7198 suffices.
7199 [Bodo Moeller]
7200
7201 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7202 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7203 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7204 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7205 and
7206 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7207
7208 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7209 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7210
7211 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7212 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7213 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7214 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7215 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7216 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7217
7218 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7219 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7220
7221 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7222 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7223
7224 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7225 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7226
7227 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7228 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7229 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7230 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7231
7232 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7233 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7234
7235 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7236 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7237
7238 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7239 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7240 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7241 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7242 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7243 [Richard Levitte]
7244
7245 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7246 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7247 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7248 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7249 [Steve Henson]
7250
7251 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7252 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7253 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7254 trust settings.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7258 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7259 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7260 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7261 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7262 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7263 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7264 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7265 ocsp utility.
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7269 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7270 [Steve Henson]
7271
7272 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7273 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7274 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7275 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7276 [Steve Henson]
7277
7278 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7279 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7280 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7281 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7282 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7283 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7284 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7285 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7286 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7287 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7288 [Steve Henson]
7289
7290 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7291 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7292 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7293 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7294 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7295 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7296 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7297 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7298
7299 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7300 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7301 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7302 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7303 [Richard Levitte]
7304
7305 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7306 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7307 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7308 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7309 opensslconf.h.
7310 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7311 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7312 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7313 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7314 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7315 what is available.
7316 [Richard Levitte]
7317
7318 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7319 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7320 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7321 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7322 auto incremented.
7323 [Steve Henson]
7324
7325 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7326 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7327 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7328 [Steve Henson]
7329
7330 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7331 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7332 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7333 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7334 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7335 [Steve Henson]
7336
7337 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7338 [Steve Henson]
7339
7340 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7341 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7342 option to ocsp utility.
7343 [Steve Henson]
7344
7345 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7346 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7347 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7348 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7349 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7350 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7351 the request is nonce-less.
7352 [Steve Henson]
7353
7354 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7355 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7356 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7357 [Bodo Moeller]
7358
7359 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7360 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7361 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7362 [Steve Henson]
7363
7364 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7365 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7366 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7367 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7368 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7369 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7370
7371 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7372 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7373 appear to exist.
7374 [Steve Henson]
7375
7376 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7377 additional certificates supplied.
7378 [Steve Henson]
7379
7380 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7381 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7382 signature against.
7383 [Richard Levitte]
7384
7385 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7386 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7387 AES OIDs.
7388
7389 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7390 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7391 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7392 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7393 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7394 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7395 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7396 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7397 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7398
7399 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7400 request to response.
7401 [Steve Henson]
7402
7403 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7404 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7405 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7406 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7407 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7408 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7409 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7410 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7411 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7412 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7413 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7417 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7418 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7419 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7420 [Steve Henson]
7421
7422 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7423 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7424
7425 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7426 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7427 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7428 [Steve Henson]
7429
7430 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7431 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7432 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7433 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7434 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7435
7436 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7437 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7438 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7442 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7443 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7444 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7445 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7446 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7447 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7448 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7449
7450 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7451 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7452 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7453 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7454 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7455 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7456 [Steve Henson]
7457
7458 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7459 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7460 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7461 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7462 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7463 printout format cleaned up.
7464 [Steve Henson]
7465
7466 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7467 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7468 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7469 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7470 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7471 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7472 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7473 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7474 [Steve Henson]
7475
7476 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7477 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7478 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7479 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7480 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7481 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7482 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7483 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7484 [Steve Henson]
7485
7486 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7487 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7488 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7489 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7490 section to use.
7491 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7492
7493 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7494 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7495 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7496 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7497 [Steve Henson]
7498
7499 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7500 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7501 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7502 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7503 in the index file.
7504 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7505
7506 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7507 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7508 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7509 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7510
7511 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7512 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7513
7514 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7515 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7516 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7520 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7521 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7522 [Bodo Moeller]
7523
7524 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7525 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7526 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7527 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7528 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7529 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7530 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7531 functions are provided:
7532
7533 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7534 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7535 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7536 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7537
7538 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7539 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7540 extended allocation function is enabled.
7541 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7542 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7543 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7544
7545 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7546 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7547 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7548 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7549 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7550 [Geoff Thorpe]
7551
7552 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7553 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7554 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7555 be queried.
7556 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7557 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7558 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7559 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7560
7561 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7562 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7563 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7564 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7565 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7566 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7567 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7568 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7569 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7570 [Richard Levitte]
7571
7572 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7573 provide utility functions which an application needing
7574 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7575 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7576 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7577
7578 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7579 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7580 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7581 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7582 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7583 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7584 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7585 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7586 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7587
7588 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7589 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7590 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7591 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7592 [Steve Henson]
7593
7594 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7595 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7596 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7597 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7598 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7599 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7600 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7601 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7602 will be added elsewhere.
7603 [Steve Henson]
7604
7605 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7606 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7607 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7608 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7609 [Steve Henson]
7610
7611 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7612 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7613 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7614 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7615 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7616 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7617 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7618 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7619 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7620 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7621 to produce the required SET OF.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7625 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7626 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7627 [Richard Levitte]
7628
7629 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7630 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7631 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7632 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7633 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7634 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7638 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7639 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7640 [Steve Henson]
7641
7642 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7643 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7644 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7645 [Richard Levitte]
7646
7647 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7648 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7649 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7650 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7651 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7652 [Steve Henson]
7653
7654 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7655 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7656 [Steve Henson]
7657
7658 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7659 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7660 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7661 certificates and CRLs.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7665 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7666 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7667 [Steve Henson]
7668
7669 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7670 entries for variables.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7674 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7675 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7676 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7677 [Bodo Moeller]
7678
7679 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7680 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7681 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7682 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7683 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7684 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7685 [Bodo Moeller]
7686
7687 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7688 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7689
7690 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7691 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7692 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7693 [Steve Henson]
7694
7695 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7696 print routines.
7697 [Steve Henson]
7698
7699 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7700 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7701 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7702 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7703 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7704 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7708 [Steve Henson]
7709
7710 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7711 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7712 for now but they will eventually go away.
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7716 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7717 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7718 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7719 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7720 has also been converted to the new form.
7721 [Steve Henson]
7722
7723 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7724 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7725 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7726 for negative moduli.
7727 [Bodo Moeller]
7728
7729 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7730 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7731 [Bodo Moeller]
7732
7733 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7734 set.
7735 [Bodo Moeller]
7736
7737 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7738 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7739 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7740 type-specific callbacks.
7741 [Geoff Thorpe]
7742
7743 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7744 RFC 2712.
7745 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7746 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7747
7748 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7749 in sections depending on the subject.
7750 [Richard Levitte]
7751
7752 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7753 Windows.
7754 [Richard Levitte]
7755
7756 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7757 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7758 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7759 be handled deterministically).
7760 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7761
7762 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7763 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7764 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7765 [Bodo Moeller]
7766
7767 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7768 [Bodo Moeller]
7769
7770 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7771 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7772 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7773 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7774 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7775 [Bodo Moeller]
7776
7777 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7778 sign of the number in question.
7779
7780 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7781
7782 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7783 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7784 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7785 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7786 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) New function BN_swap.
7790 [Bodo Moeller]
7791
7792 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7793 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7794 results on negative inputs.
7795 [Bodo Moeller]
7796
7797 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7798 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7799 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7800 [Bodo Moeller]
7801
7802 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7803 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7804 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7805 and add new functions:
7806
7807 BN_nnmod
7808 BN_mod_sqr
7809 BN_mod_add
7810 BN_mod_add_quick
7811 BN_mod_sub
7812 BN_mod_sub_quick
7813 BN_mod_lshift1
7814 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7815 BN_mod_lshift
7816 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7817
7818 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7819
7820 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7821 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7822
7823 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7824 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7825 be reduced modulo m.
7826 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7827
7828 #if 0
7829 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7830 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7831 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7832
7833 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7834 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7835 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7836 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7837 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7838 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7839 differing sizes.
7840 [Richard Levitte]
7841 #endif
7842
7843 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7844 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7845 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7846 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7847 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7848
7849 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7850 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7851 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7852 cause any problems.
7853 [Bodo Moeller]
7854
7855 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7856 [Richard Levitte]
7857
7858 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7859 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7860 [Richard Levitte]
7861
7862 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7863 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7864 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7865 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7866 time)
7867 [Richard Levitte]
7868
7869 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7870 [Richard Levitte]
7871
7872 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7873 [Richard Levitte]
7874
7875 *) Add the following functions:
7876
7877 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7878 ENGINE_load_chil()
7879 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7880 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7881 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7882
7883 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7884 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7885 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7886 libraries unless it's really needed.
7887
7888 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7889 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7890 declarations (they differed!).
7891 [Richard Levitte]
7892
7893 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7894 [Richard Levitte]
7895
7896 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7897 [Richard Levitte]
7898
7899 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7900 [Bodo Moeller]
7901
7902 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7903 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7907 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7908 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7909
7910 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7911 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7912 [Richard Levitte]
7913
7914 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7915 [Richard Levitte]
7916
7917 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7918 [Richard Levitte]
7919
7920 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7921 [Ben Laurie]
7922
7923 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7924 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7925 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7926
7927 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7928 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7929 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7930 different shared library filenames on each system.
7931 [Geoff Thorpe]
7932
7933 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7934 [Richard Levitte]
7935
7936 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7937 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7938 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7939 of two sections.
7940 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7941
7942 *) NCONF changes.
7943 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7944 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7945 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7946 binary backward compatibility.
7947 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7948 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7949 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7950 LDAP server.
7951 [Richard Levitte]
7952
7953 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7954 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7955 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7956 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7957 this case.
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959
7960 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7961 [Ben Laurie]
7962
7963 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7964 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7965 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7966 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7967 set.
7968 [Steve Henson]
7969
7970 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7971 [Richard Levitte]
7972
7973 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7974
7975 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7976 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7977 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7978
7979 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7980
7981 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7982
7983 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7984 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7985 [Steve Henson]
7986
7987 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7988
7989 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7990
7991 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7992 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7993
7994 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7995 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7996
7997 [Steve Henson]
7998
7999 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8000 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8001 specifications.
8002 [Steve Henson]
8003
8004 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8005 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8006 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8007 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8008
8009 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8010 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8011 [Richard Levitte]
8012
8013 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8014
8015 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8016 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8017 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8018 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8019 [Bodo Moeller]
8020
8021 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8022 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8023 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8024 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8025 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8026
8027 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8028 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8029 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8030 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8031 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8032 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8033 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8034 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8035 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8036 [Bodo Moeller]
8037
8038 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8039
8040 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8041 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8042 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8043 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8044 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8045
8046 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8047 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8048 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8049
8050 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8051
8052 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8053 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8054 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8055 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8056 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8057 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8058 [Geoff Thorpe]
8059
8060 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8061 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8062 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8063 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8064 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8065 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8066
8067 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8068 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8069 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8070
8071 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8072 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8073 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8074 EVP_cleanup().
8075 [Richard Levitte]
8076
8077 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8078 being properly terminated.
8079 [Richard Levitte]
8080
8081 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8082 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8083 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8084 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8085
8086 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8087 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8088 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8089 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8090 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8091 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8092 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8093 change.
8094 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8095
8096 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8097 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8098 [Bodo Moeller]
8099
8100 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8101 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8102 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8103 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8104 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8105 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8106 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8107 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8108
8109 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8110 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8111 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8112 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8113 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8114
8115 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8116 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8117 [Steve Henson]
8118
8119 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8120
8121 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8122 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8123 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8124
8125 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8126
8127 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8128 and get fix the header length calculation.
8129 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8130 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8131 Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8134 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8135 assertions could call abort()).
8136 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8137
8138 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8139
8140 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8141 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8142 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8143 supplied buffer.
8144 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8145
8146 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8147 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8148 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8149 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8150
8151 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8152 [Nils Larsch]
8153
8154 *) New option
8155 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8156 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8157 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8158
8159 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8160 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8161 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8162 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8163 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8164 applications.
8165 [Bodo Moeller]
8166
8167 *) Changes in security patch:
8168
8169 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8170 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8171 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8172 F30602-01-2-0537.
8173
8174 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8175 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8176 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8177 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8178 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8179
8180 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8181 happen in practice.
8182 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8183
8184 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8185 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8186 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8187
8188 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8189 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8191
8192 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8193 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8194 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8195
8196 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8197
8198 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8199 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8200 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8201
8202 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8203 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8204
8205 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8206 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8207 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8208 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8209 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8210 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8211 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8212
8213 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8214 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8215 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8216 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8217 [Bodo Moeller]
8218
8219 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8220 [Bodo Moeller]
8221
8222 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8223 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8224 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8225 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8226 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8227 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8228
8229 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8230 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8231 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8232 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8233 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8234 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8235
8236 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8237 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8238 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8239 BN_generate_prime().)
8240
8241 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8242 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8243 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8244 better.
8245 [Bodo Moeller]
8246
8247 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8248 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8249 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8250
8251 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8252 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8253 when using non-blocking I/O.
8254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8255
8256 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8257 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8258
8259 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8260 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8261 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8262
8263 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8264 configuration for the versions before that.
8265 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8266
8267 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8268 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8269 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8270 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8271 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8272
8273 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8274 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8275 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8276 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8277
8278 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8279 value is 0.
8280 [Richard Levitte]
8281
8282 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8283 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8284 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8285
8286 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8287 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8288
8289 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8290 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8291 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8292 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8293 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8294 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8295 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8296 session cache.
8297
8298 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8299 using a local variable.
8300 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8301
8302 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8303 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8304 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8305
8306 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8307 [Richard Levitte]
8308
8309 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8310 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8311
8312 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8313 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8314 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8315
8316 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8317
8318 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8319 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8320 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8321 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8322 [Bodo Moeller]
8323
8324 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8325 present.
8326 [Steve Henson]
8327
8328 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8329 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8330 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8331 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8332 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8333
8334 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8335 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8336 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8337
8338 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8339 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8340 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8341
8342 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8343 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8344 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8345 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8346
8347 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8348 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8349 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8350 modules).
8351 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8352
8353 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8354 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8355 from 0.9.7.
8356 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8357
8358 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8359 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8360 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8361 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8362
8363 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8364 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8365 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8366 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8367
8368 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8369 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8370
8371 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8372 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8373 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8374 [Bodo Moeller]
8375
8376 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8377 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8378 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8379 become invalid.
8380 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8381
8382 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8383 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8384 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8385 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8386 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8387 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8388 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8389 [Bodo Moeller]
8390
8391 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8392 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8393 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8394 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8395
8396 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8397 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8398 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8399 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8400 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8401 the client will at least see that alert.
8402 [Bodo Moeller]
8403
8404 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8405 correctly.
8406 [Bodo Moeller]
8407
8408 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8409 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8410 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8411
8412 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8413 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8414 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8415 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8416 HelloRequest.
8417
8418 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8419 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8420 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8421
8422 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8423 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8424 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8425 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8426 may leak via logfiles.)
8427
8428 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8429 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8430 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8431 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8432 the legal range.
8433 [Bodo Moeller]
8434
8435 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8436 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8437 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8438
8439 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8440 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8441 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8442 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8443 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8444 [Bodo Moeller]
8445
8446 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8447 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8448
8449 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8450 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8451 followed by modular reduction.
8452 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8453
8454 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8455 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8456 [Bodo Moeller]
8457
8458 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8459 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8460 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8461 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8462 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8463
8464 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8465 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8466
8467 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8468 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8470
8471 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8472 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8473 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8474 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8475 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8476 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8477 automatically.
8478 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8479
8480 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8481 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8482 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8483 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8484 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8485
8486 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8487 [Andy Polyakov]
8488
8489 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8490 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8491 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8492 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8493 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8494 to allow the necessary settings.
8495 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8496
8497 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8498 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8499 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8500 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8501 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8502
8503 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8504 dh->length and always used
8505
8506 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8507
8508 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8509 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8510 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8511 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8512 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8513 dh->length.
8514
8515 So switch back to
8516
8517 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8518
8519 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8520 otherwise.
8521 [Bodo Moeller]
8522
8523 *) In
8524
8525 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8526 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8527 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8528 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8529
8530 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8531 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8532 always reject numbers >= n.
8533 [Bodo Moeller]
8534
8535 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8536 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8537 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8538 variable) is not atomic.
8539 [Bodo Moeller]
8540
8541 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8542 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8543 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8544 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8545
8546 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8547 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8548
8549 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8550 little-endian MIPS.
8551 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8552
8553 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8554 [Richard Levitte]
8555
8556 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8557
8558 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8559 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8560 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8561 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8562 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8563 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8564 to traverse all of 'state'.
8565
8566 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8567 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8568 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8569
8570 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8571 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8572
8573 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8574 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8575 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8576 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8577 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8578 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8579 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8580 further strengthens the PRNG.
8581 [Bodo Moeller]
8582
8583 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8584 [Andy Polyakov]
8585
8586 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8587 an error message in this case.
8588 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8589
8590 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8591 [Steve Henson]
8592
8593 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8594 positive and less than q.
8595 [Bodo Moeller]
8596
8597 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8598 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8599 that itself.
8600 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8601
8602 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8603 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8604 [Bodo Moeller]
8605
8606 *) Fix OAEP check.
8607 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8608
8609 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8610 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8611 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8612 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8613 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8614 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8615 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8616 paper.)
8617
8618 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8619 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8620 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8621 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8622
8623 Both problems are now fixed.
8624 [Bodo Moeller]
8625
8626 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8627 (previously it was 1024).
8628 [Bodo Moeller]
8629
8630 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8631 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8632 [Steve Henson]
8633
8634 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8635 [Steve Henson]
8636
8637 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8638 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8639 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8643 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8644 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8645 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8646 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8647 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8648 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8649 environment variables.
8650
8651 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8652 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8653 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8654 [Bodo Moeller]
8655
8656 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8657 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8658 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8659 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8660 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8661 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8662 [Bodo Moeller]
8663
8664 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8665 versions of 'test'.
8666 [Bodo Moeller]
8667
8668 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8669
8670 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8671 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8672
8673 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8674 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8675 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8676 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8677 CygWin.
8678 [Richard Levitte]
8679
8680 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8681 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8682 amount of data available.
8683 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8684 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8685
8686 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8687 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8688 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8689 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8690 [Bodo Moeller]
8691
8692 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8693 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8694 and UnixWare.
8695 [Richard Levitte]
8696
8697 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8698 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8699 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8700 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8701 [Ulf Moeller]
8702
8703 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8704 [Andy Polyakov]
8705
8706 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8707 [Richard Levitte]
8708
8709 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8710 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8711 [Steve Henson]
8712 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8713
8714 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8715 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8716 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8717 (but broken) behaviour.
8718 [Steve Henson]
8719
8720 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8721 it when found.
8722 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8723
8724 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8725 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8726 [Bodo Moeller]
8727
8728 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8729 did not exist.
8730 [Bodo Moeller]
8731
8732 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8733 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8734
8735 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8736 [Richard Levitte]
8737
8738 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8739 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8740 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8741
8742 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8743 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8744 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8745 [Steve Henson]
8746
8747 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8748 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8749 [Ulf Moeller]
8750
8751 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8752 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8753
8754 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8755
8756 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8757
8758 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8759 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8760 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8761 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8762 [Bodo Moeller]
8763
8764 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8765 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8766
8767 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8768 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8769 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8770
8771 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8772 was empty.
8773 [Steve Henson]
8774 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8775
8776 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8777 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8778 but the code is actually correct.
8779 [Steve Henson]
8780
8781 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8782 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8783 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8784 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8785 and leaves the highest bit random.
8786 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8787
8788 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8789 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8790 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8791 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8792 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8793 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8794 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8795 [Bodo Moeller]
8796
8797 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8798 [Ulf Moeller]
8799
8800 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8801 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8802 [Steve Henson]
8803
8804 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8805 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8806 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8807 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8808 headers.
8809 [Richard Levitte]
8810
8811 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8812 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8813 and break the signature.
8814 [Steve Henson]
8815 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8816
8817 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8818 DH ciphersuites.
8819 [Steve Henson]
8820
8821 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8822 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8823 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8824 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8825 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8826 [Bodo Moeller]
8827
8828 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8829 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8830
8831 *) ./config script fixes.
8832 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8833
8834 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8835 [Bodo Moeller]
8836
8837 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8838 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8839 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8840 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8841 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8842
8843 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8844 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8845 [Bodo Moeller]
8846
8847 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8848 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8849 [Steve Henson]
8850
8851 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8852 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8853 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8854 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8855
8856 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8857 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8858
8859 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8860 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8861 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8862 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8863 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8864
8865 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8866 [Bodo Moeller]
8867
8868 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8869 [Ulf Möller]
8870
8871 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8872 [Ulf Möller]
8873
8874 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8875 [Bodo Moeller]
8876
8877 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8878 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8879 [Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8882 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8883 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8884 result of the server certificate verification.)
8885 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8886
8887 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8888 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8889 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8890 [Bodo Moeller]
8891
8892 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8893 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8894 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8895 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8896 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8897 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8898 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8899 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8900 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8901 [Bodo Moeller]
8902
8903 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8904 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8905 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8906 happening the other way round.
8907 [Geoff Thorpe]
8908
8909 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8910 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8911 [Bodo Moeller]
8912
8913 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8914 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8915 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8916 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8917 [Richard Levitte]
8918
8919 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8920 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8921
8922 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8923
8924 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8925 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8926 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8927 that.
8928
8929 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8930
8931 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8932
8933 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8934 static ones.
8935 [Richard Levitte]
8936
8937 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8938
8939 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8940 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8941 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8942 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8943 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8944
8945 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8946 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8947 matter what.
8948 [Richard Levitte]
8949
8950 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8951 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8952
8953 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8954
8955 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8956 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8957 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8958 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8959 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8960 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8961 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8962 by the Finished messages.
8963 [Bodo Moeller]
8964
8965 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8966 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8967
8968 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8969 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8970 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8971 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8972 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8973 appropriately.
8974 [Steve Henson]
8975
8976 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8977 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8978 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8979 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8980 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8981 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8982 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8983 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8984 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8985 together.
8986 [Steve Henson]
8987
8988 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8989 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8990 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8991 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8992
8993 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8994 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8995 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8996 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8997 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8998 the answer.
8999
9000 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9001 been tested well enough.
9002 [Richard Levitte]
9003
9004 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9005 it can return incorrect results.
9006 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9007 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9008 [Bodo Moeller]
9009
9010 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9011 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9012 include zero length content when signing messages.
9013 [Steve Henson]
9014
9015 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9016 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9017 [Bodo Möller]
9018
9019 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9020 [Richard Levitte]
9021
9022 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9023 wrong sign.
9024 [Ulf Möller]
9025
9026 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9027 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9028 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9029 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9030 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9031 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9032 [Richard Levitte]
9033
9034 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9035 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9036
9037 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9038 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9039
9040 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9041 random number < q in the DSA library.
9042 [Ulf Möller]
9043
9044 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9045 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9046 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9047 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9048 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9049 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9050 just makes things more complicated.)
9051 [Bodo Moeller]
9052
9053 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9054 from EGD.
9055 [Ben Laurie]
9056
9057 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9058 work better on such systems.
9059 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9060
9061 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9062 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9063 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9064 [Steve Henson]
9065
9066 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9067 if there was more than one signature.
9068 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9069
9070 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9071 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9072 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9073 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9074 [Richard Levitte]
9075
9076 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9077 rather than always using the current time.
9078 [Steve Henson]
9079
9080 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9081 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9082 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9083 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9084 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9085 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9086
9087 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9088 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9089
9090 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9091
9092 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9093 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9094 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9095 the same hash value.
9096
9097 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9098 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9099 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9100 with X509_STORE internally.
9101
9102 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9103 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9104
9105 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9106 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9107 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9108 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9109 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9110 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9111 entirely (maybe later...).
9112
9113 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9114
9115 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9116 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9117 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9118 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9119 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9120 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9121 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9122 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9123
9124 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9125 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9126
9127 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9128 to customise the verify behaviour.
9129 [Steve Henson]
9130
9131 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9132 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9133 [Steve Henson]
9134
9135 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9136 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9137 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9138 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9139 request is improperly encoded.
9140 [Steve Henson]
9141
9142 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9143 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9144 BIO_write(b, ...).
9145
9146 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9147 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9148
9149 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9150 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9151 words set to zero.)
9152 [Bodo Moeller]
9153
9154 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9155 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9156 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9157 [Bodo Moeller]
9158
9159 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9160 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9161 BIO/fp routines also added.
9162 [Steve Henson]
9163
9164 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9165 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9166
9167 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9168 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9169 demos/state_machine.
9170 [Ben Laurie]
9171
9172 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9173 generation and verification.
9174 [Steve Henson]
9175
9176 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9177 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9178 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9179 encode and decode it manually.
9180 [Steve Henson]
9181
9182 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9183 compile under VC++.
9184 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9185
9186 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9187 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9188 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9189 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9190
9191 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9192 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9193 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9194 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9195 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9196 [Steve Henson]
9197
9198 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9199 [Richard Levitte]
9200
9201 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9202 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9203 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9204
9205 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9206 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9207 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9208 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9209 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9210 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9211 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9212 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9213
9214 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9215 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9216
9217 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9218
9219 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9220 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9221 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9222
9223 [Richard Levitte]
9224
9225 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9226 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9227 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9228 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9229 [Richard Levitte]
9230
9231 *) MD4 implemented.
9232 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9233
9234 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9235 [Richard Levitte]
9236
9237 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9238 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9239 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9240 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9241 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9242 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9243 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9244 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9245 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9246 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9247 short or long names are found.
9248 [Steve Henson]
9249
9250 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9251 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9252
9253 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9254 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9255 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9256 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9257
9258 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9259 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9260 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9261 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9262 [Bodo Moeller]
9263
9264 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9265 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9266 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9267 [Richard Levitte]
9268
9269 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9270 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9271 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9272 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9273 to allow the various flags to be set.
9274 [Steve Henson]
9275
9276 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9277 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9278 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9279 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9280 dates to be checked.
9281 [Steve Henson]
9282
9283 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9284 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9285 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9286 [Steve Henson]
9287
9288 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9289 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9290 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9291 [Steve Henson]
9292
9293 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9294 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9295 [Bodo Moeller]
9296
9297 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9298 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9299 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9300 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9301 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9302 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9303 [Richard Levitte]
9304
9305 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9306 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9307 Random Numbers.
9308 [Ulf Möller]
9309
9310 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9311 DSA key.
9312 [Steve Henson]
9313
9314 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9315 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9316 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9317 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9318 form signing output easier to verify.
9319 [Steve Henson]
9320
9321 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9322 [Steve Henson]
9323
9324 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9325 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9326 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9327 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9328 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9329 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9330 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9331 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9332 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9333 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9334 [Steve Henson]
9335
9336 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9337
9338 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9339 the syntax given in objects.README.
9340 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9341 obj_mac.h.
9342 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9343 obj_mac.h.
9344
9345 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9346 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9347 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9348 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9349 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9350 consistent name changes.
9351 [Richard Levitte]
9352
9353 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9354 [Bodo Moeller]
9355
9356 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9357 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9358 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9359 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9360 [Richard Levitte]
9361
9362 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9363 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9364 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9365 of safestack.h .
9366 [Steve Henson]
9367
9368 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9369 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9370 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9371 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9372 [Steve Henson]
9373
9374 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9375 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9376 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9377 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9378 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9379 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9380 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9381 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9382 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9383 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9384 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9385 [Steve Henson]
9386
9387 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9388 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9389 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9390 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9391 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9392 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9393 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9394 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9395 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9396 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9397 [Steve Henson]
9398
9399 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9400 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9401 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9402 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9403
9404 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9405 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9406 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9407 omit any duplicate addresses.
9408 [Steve Henson]
9409
9410 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9411 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9412 [Bodo Moeller]
9413
9414 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9415 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9416 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9417 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9418 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9419 [Bodo Moeller]
9420
9421 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9422 software:
9423 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9424 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9425 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9426 Free => OPENSSL_free
9427 [Richard Levitte]
9428
9429 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9430 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9431 [Bodo Moeller]
9432
9433 *) CygWin32 support.
9434 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9435
9436 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9437 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9438 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9439 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9440 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9441 approach.
9442 [Geoff Thorpe]
9443
9444 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9445 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9446 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9447 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9448 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9449 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9450 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9451 [Geoff Thorpe]
9452
9453 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9454 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9455 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9456 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9457 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9458 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9459 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9460 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9461 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9462 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9463 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9464 [Bodo Moeller]
9465
9466 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9467 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9468 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9469 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9470 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9471
9472 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9473 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9474 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9475 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9476 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9477
9478 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9479 ciphers.
9480
9481 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9482 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9483 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9484 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9485
9486 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9487
9488 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9489 of macros.
9490
9491 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9492 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9493 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9494 flags.
9495
9496 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9497 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9498 any installed hardware versions can.
9499 [Steve Henson]
9500
9501 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9502 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9503 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9504 number.
9505 [Bodo Moeller]
9506
9507 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9508 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9509 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9510 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9511 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9512
9513 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9514 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9515 [Steve Henson]
9516
9517 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9518 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9519 [Richard Levitte]
9520
9521 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9522 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9523 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9524 features.
9525 [Steve Henson]
9526
9527 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9528 [Ulf Möller]
9529
9530 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9531 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9532 but no ssl client purpose.
9533 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9534
9535 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9536 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9537 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9538 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9539 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9540 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9541 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9542 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9543 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9544 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9545 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9546 [Steve Henson]
9547
9548 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9549 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9550 be obtained from the error queue.
9551 [Bodo Moeller]
9552
9553 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9554 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9555 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9556 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9557 [Bodo Moeller]
9558
9559 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9560 [Ulf Möller]
9561
9562 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9563 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9564 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9565 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9566 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9567 [Geoff Thorpe]
9568
9569 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9570 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9571 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9572 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9573 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9574 [Geoff Thorpe]
9575
9576 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9577 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9578 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9579 may not be NULL.
9580 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9581
9582 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9583 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9584 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9585 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9586 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9587 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9588 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9589 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9590 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9591 or "the configuration storage API"...
9592
9593 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9594
9595 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9596 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9597
9598 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9599
9600 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9601
9602 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9603 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9604 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9605 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9606 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9607 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9608 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9609
9610 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9611 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9612 [Richard Levitte]
9613
9614 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9615 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9616 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9617 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9618 [Bodo Moeller]
9619
9620 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9621 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9622 them in a portable way.
9623 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9624
9625 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9626
9627 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9628
9629 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9630 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9631
9632 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9633 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9634 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9635 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9636
9637 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9638 was larger than the MD block size.
9639 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9640
9641 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9642 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9643 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9644 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9645 components.
9646 [Steve Henson]
9647
9648 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9649 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9650 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9651
9652 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9653 discouraged.
9654 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9655
9656 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9657 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9658 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9659 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9660 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9661 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9662
9663 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9664 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9665
9666 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9667 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9671 [Bodo Moeller]
9672
9673 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9674 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9675 its own key.
9676 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9677 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9678 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9679 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9680 [Bodo Moeller]
9681
9682 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9683 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9684 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9685 does not suppress any output.
9686 [Richard Levitte]
9687
9688 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9689 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9690 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9691 with all the associated security issues.
9692
9693 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9694 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9695 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9696 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9697 use the value in the default purpose.
9698 [Steve Henson]
9699
9700 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9701 and fix a memory leak.
9702 [Steve Henson]
9703
9704 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9705 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9706 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9707 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9708 [Bodo Moeller]
9709
9710 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9711 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9712 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9713 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9714 [Bodo Moeller]
9715
9716 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9717 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9718 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9719 [Bodo Moeller]
9720
9721 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9722 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9723 [Bodo Moeller]
9724
9725 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9726 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9727 which was free.
9728 [Steve Henson]
9729
9730 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9731 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9732 [Bodo Moeller]
9733
9734 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9735 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9736 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9737 [Bodo Moeller]
9738
9739 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9740 number generation fails.
9741 [Bodo Moeller]
9742
9743 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9744 [Bodo Moeller]
9745
9746 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9747 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9748
9749 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9750 [Ulf Möller]
9751
9752 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9753 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9754
9755 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9756 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9757
9758 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9759
9760 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9761 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9762 [Steve Henson]
9763
9764 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9765 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9766
9767 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9768 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9769 [Ulf Möller]
9770
9771 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9772 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9773 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9774 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9775 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9776 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9777
9778 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9779 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9780 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9781 for example.
9782 [Steve Henson]
9783
9784 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9785 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9786 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9787 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9788 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9789 counter, some don't.)
9790 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9791 counters or duplicate objects.
9792 [Steve Henson]
9793
9794 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9795 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9796 [Steve Henson]
9797
9798 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9799 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9800 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9801
9802 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9803 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9804 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9805 or -rand.
9806 [Ulf Möller]
9807
9808 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9809 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9810 [Steve Henson]
9811
9812 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9813 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9814 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9815 cipher list.
9816 [Steve Henson]
9817
9818 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9819 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9820 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9821 [Steve Henson]
9822
9823 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9824 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9825 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9826 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9827 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9828 should work without changes.
9829 [Richard Levitte]
9830
9831 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9832 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9833 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9834 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9835 must be defined. E.g.,
9836 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9837 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9838 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9839 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9840
9841 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9842 record layer.
9843 [Bodo Moeller]
9844
9845 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9846 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9847 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9848 [Steve Henson]
9849
9850 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9851 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9852 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9853 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9854 [Steve Henson]
9855
9856 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9857 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9858 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9859 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9860 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9861 is prompted for as usual.
9862 [Steve Henson]
9863
9864 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9865 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9866 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9867 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9868
9869 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9870 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9871 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9872 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9873 [Steve Henson]
9874
9875 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9876 [Andy Polyakov]
9877
9878 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9879 of seed file.
9880 [Steve Henson]
9881
9882 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9883 [Bodo Moeller]
9884
9885 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9889 bits.
9890 [Ulf Möller]
9891
9892 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9893 [Ulf Möller]
9894
9895 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9896 [Andy Polyakov]
9897
9898 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9899 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9900 [Ulf Möller]
9901
9902 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9903 options to produce them.
9904 [Steve Henson]
9905
9906 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9907 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9908 [Ulf Möller]
9909
9910 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9911 for p == 0.
9912 [Ulf Möller]
9913
9914 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9915 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9916 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9917 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9918 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9919 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9920 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9921 [Steve Henson]
9922
9923 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9924 [Steve Henson]
9925
9926 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9927 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9928 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9929 [Bodo Moeller]
9930
9931 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9932 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9933
9934 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9935 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9936 [Ulf Möller]
9937
9938 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9939 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9940 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9941 has already seen).
9942 [Bodo Moeller]
9943
9944 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9945 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9946
9947 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9948 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9949 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9950 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9951 generation becomes much faster.
9952
9953 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9954 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9955 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9956 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9957 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9958 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9959 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9960 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9961 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9962 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9963 [Bodo Moeller]
9964
9965 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9966 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9967 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9968 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9969 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9970 trial division stage.
9971 [Bodo Moeller]
9972
9973 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9974 as ASN1_TIME.
9975 [Steve Henson]
9976
9977 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9978 [Steve Henson]
9979
9980 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9981 [Ulf Möller]
9982
9983 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9984 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9985 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9986 the comments.
9987 [Ulf Möller]
9988
9989 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9990 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9991 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9992 [Bodo Moeller]
9993
9994 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9995 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9996 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9997 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9998
9999 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10000 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10001 [Steve Henson]
10002
10003 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10004 [Ulf Möller]
10005
10006 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10007 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10008 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10009 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10010 [Ulf Möller]
10011
10012 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10013 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10014 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10015 [Ulf Möller]
10016
10017 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10018 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10019 (instead of parameters) in future.
10020 [Steve Henson]
10021
10022 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10023 when a new cipher list is set.
10024 [Steve Henson]
10025
10026 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10027 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10028 wrong.
10029
10030 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10031 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10032 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10033
10034 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10035 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10036 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10037 an error is flagged.
10038
10039 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10040 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10041 the readability was also increased :-)
10042 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10043
10044 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10045 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10046 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10047 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10048 as the root CA.
10049 [Steve Henson]
10050
10051 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10052 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10053 [Steve Henson]
10054
10055 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10056 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10057 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10058 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10059 instead.
10060
10061 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10062 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10063 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10064 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10065 because they handle more complex structures.)
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10069 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10070 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10071 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10072
10073 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10074 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10075 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10076 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10077 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10078 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10079 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10080 [Ulf Möller]
10081
10082 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10083 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10084 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10085 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10086 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10087 [Bodo Moeller]
10088
10089 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10090 [Bodo Moeller]
10091
10092 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10093 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10094 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10095 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10096 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10097 to use this.
10098
10099 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10100 code.
10101 [Steve Henson]
10102
10103 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10104 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10105 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10106 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10107 [Steve Henson]
10108
10109 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10110 [Ulf Möller]
10111
10112 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10113 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10114 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10115 international characters are used.
10116
10117 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10118 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10119 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10120 in ASN1 order.
10121 [Steve Henson]
10122
10123 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10124 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10125 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10126 request.
10127
10128 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10129 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10130 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10131 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10132 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10133 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10134
10135 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10136 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10137 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10138 be handled by the string table functions.
10139
10140 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10141 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10142 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10143 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10144 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10145 types at all.
10146 [Steve Henson]
10147
10148 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10149 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10150 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10151 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10152 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10153
10154 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10155 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10156 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10157 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10158 [Bodo Moeller]
10159
10160 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10161 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10162 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10163 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10164 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10165 SHA1.
10166 [Andy Polyakov]
10167
10168 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10169 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10170 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10171 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10172 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10173 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10174 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10175 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10176
10177 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10178 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10179 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10180 [Steve Henson]
10181
10182 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10183 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10184 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10185 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10186 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10187 support to pkcs8 application.
10188 [Steve Henson]
10189
10190 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10191 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10192 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10193 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10194 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10195 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10196 [Bodo Moeller]
10197
10198 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10199 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10200 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10201 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10202 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10203 consistency.
10204 [Bodo Moeller]
10205
10206 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10207 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10208 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10209 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10210 example.
10211 [Steve Henson]
10212
10213 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10214 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10215 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10216 and any application specific purposes.
10217
10218 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10219 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10220 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10221 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10222 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10223 if the certificate is self signed.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10227 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10228 [Steve Henson]
10229
10230 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10231 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10232 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10233 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10234 [Steve Henson]
10235
10236 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10237 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10238 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10239 Update documentation.
10240 [Steve Henson]
10241
10242 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10243 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10244 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10245 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10246 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10247 [Steve Henson]
10248
10249 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10250 for details.
10251 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10252
10253 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10254 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10255 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10256 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10257 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10258 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10259 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10260 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10261 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10262 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10263
10264 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10265
10266 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10267 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10268 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10269 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10270 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10271
10272 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10273 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10274 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10275 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10276 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10277 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10278 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10279 request additional information:
10280 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10281 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10282
10283 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10284 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10285 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10286 options.
10287
10288 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10289 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10290
10291 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10292 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10293 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10294
10295 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10296 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10297
10298 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10299 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10300 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10301 algorithm.
10302 [Steve Henson]
10303
10304 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10305 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10306 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10309 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10310 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10311 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10312 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10313 included in OpenSSL.
10314 [Steve Henson]
10315
10316 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10317 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10318 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10319 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10320 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10321 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10322 [Bodo Moeller]
10323
10324 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10325 PKCS12 structure.
10326 [Steve Henson]
10327
10328 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10329 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10330 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10331 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10332 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10333 structure.
10334 [Steve Henson]
10335
10336 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10337 need initialising.
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10341 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10342 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10343 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10344 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10345 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10346 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10347 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10348 be maintained manually.
10349
10350 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10351 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10352 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10353 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10354 work because people forget to call this function]
10355 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10356 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10357 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10358 [Steve Henson]
10359
10360 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10361 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10362 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10363 should be discouraged from doing it.
10364 [Ben Laurie]
10365
10366 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10367 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10368 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10369 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10370 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10371 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10372 [Steve Henson]
10373
10374 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10375 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10376 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10377
10378 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10379 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10380 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10381
10382 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10383 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10384 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10385 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10386 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10387 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10388
10389 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10390 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10391 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10392
10393 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10394 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10395 and vice versa.
10396
10397 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10398 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10399 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10400 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10401 [Steve Henson]
10402
10403 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10404 [Steve Henson]
10405
10406 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10407 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10408 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10409 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10410 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10411 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10412 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10413 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10414 keys so we should be OK.
10415
10416 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10417 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10418 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10419 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10420 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10421 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10422 stay in the name of compatibility.
10423
10424 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10425 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10426 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10427
10428 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10429 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10430 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10431 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10432 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10433 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10434 supplied key).
10435 [Steve Henson]
10436
10437 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10438 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10439 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10440 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10441 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10442 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10443 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10444 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10445 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10446 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10447 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10448 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10449 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10450 [Steve Henson]
10451
10452 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10456 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10457 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10458 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10459 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10460 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10461 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10462 openssl verify ss.pem
10463 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10464 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10465 is OK.
10466 [Steve Henson]
10467
10468 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10469 (and add it to external session representation).
10470 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10471 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10472 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10473 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10474 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10475 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10476 security holes.
10477 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10478
10479 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10480 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10481 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10482 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10483
10484 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10485 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10486 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10487 [Steve Henson]
10488
10489 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10490 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10491 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10492 code.
10493 [Steve Henson]
10494
10495 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10496 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10497 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10498
10499 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10500 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10501 certificate auxiliary information.
10502 [Steve Henson]
10503
10504 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10505 the 'enc' command.
10506 [Steve Henson]
10507
10508 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10509 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10510 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10511 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10512 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10513 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10514 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10515 [Richard Levitte]
10516
10517 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10518 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10522 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10523 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10524 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10525 [Steve Henson]
10526
10527 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10528 [Steve Henson]
10529
10530 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10531 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10532 [Steve Henson]
10533
10534 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10535 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10536 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10537 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10538 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10539 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10540 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10541 using the new 'x509' options.
10542
10543 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10544 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10545 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10546 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10547 for all purposes.
10548 [Steve Henson]
10549
10550 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10551 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10552 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10553 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10554 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10555 [Mark Cox]
10556
10557 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10558 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10559 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10560 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10561 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10562 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10563 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10564 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10565 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10566 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10567 [Steve Henson]
10568
10569 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10570 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10571 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10572 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10573 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10574 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10575 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10576 [Steve Henson]
10577
10578 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10579 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10580 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10581 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10582 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10583 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10584 openssl.cnf for more info.
10585 [Steve Henson]
10586
10587 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10588 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10589 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10590 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10591 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10592 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10593 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10594 md should be large enough anyway.
10595 [Bodo Moeller]
10596
10597 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10598 for handling the random seed file.
10599
10600 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10601 ca,
10602 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10603 s_client,
10604 s_server,
10605 x509 (when signing).
10606 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10607 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10608 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10609
10610 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10611 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10612 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10613 that support '-rand'.
10614 [Bodo Moeller]
10615
10616 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10617 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10618 [Bodo Moeller]
10619
10620 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10621 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10622 [Bill Perry]
10623
10624 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10625 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10626 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10627 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10628 is suitable.
10629 [Steve Henson]
10630
10631 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10632 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10633 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10634 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10635 [Steve Henson]
10636
10637 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10638 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10639 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10640 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10641 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10642 print out all the purposes.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10646 functions.
10647 [Steve Henson]
10648
10649 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10650 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10651 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10652 single function call.
10653 [Steve Henson]
10654
10655 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10656 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10657 [Andy Polyakov]
10658
10659 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10660 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10661 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10662 [Steve Henson]
10663
10664 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10665 when producing the local key id.
10666 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10667
10668 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10669 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10670 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10671 "server.pem".
10672 [Steve Henson]
10673
10674 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10675 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10676 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10677 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10678 [Steve Henson]
10679
10680 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10681 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10682 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10683 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10684
10685 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10686 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10687 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10688 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10689
10690 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10691 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10692 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10693 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10694 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10695 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10696 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10697 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10698 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10699 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10700 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10701 trivial: move one line.
10702 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10703
10704 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10705 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10706 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10707 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10708 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10709 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10710 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10711 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10712 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10713 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10714 with an event loop for example.
10715 [Steve Henson]
10716
10717 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10718 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10719 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10720 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10721 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10722 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10723 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10724 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10725 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10726 [Steve Henson]
10727
10728 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10729 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10730 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10731 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10732 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10733 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10734 [Steve Henson]
10735
10736 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10737 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10738 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10739 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10740
10741 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10742 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10743 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10744 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10745 key generation.
10746 [Steve Henson]
10747
10748 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10749 (still largely untested)
10750 [Bodo Moeller]
10751
10752 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10753 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10754 [Steve Henson]
10755
10756 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10757 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10758 [Steve Henson]
10759
10760 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10761 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10762 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10763 [Bodo Moeller]
10764
10765 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10766 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10767 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10768 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10769 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10770 [Steve Henson]
10771
10772 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10773 [Andy Polyakov]
10774
10775 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10776 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10777 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10778 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10779 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10780 in ca.
10781 [Steve Henson]
10782
10783 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10784 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10785 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10786 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10787 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10788 [Steve Henson]
10789
10790 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10791 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10792 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10793 are otherwise ignored at present.
10794 [Steve Henson]
10795
10796 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10797 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10798 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10799 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10800 copied until the next read.
10801 [Steve Henson]
10802
10803 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10804 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10805 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10806 [Steve Henson]
10807
10808 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10809 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10810 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10811 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10812 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10813 associated functions.
10814 [Steve Henson]
10815
10816 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10817 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10818 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10819 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10820 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10821 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10822 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10823 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10824 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10825 memory BIOs.
10826 [Steve Henson]
10827
10828 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10829 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10830 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10831 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10832 [Bodo Moeller]
10833
10834 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10835 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10836 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10837 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10838 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10839 functionality.
10840 [Steve Henson]
10841
10842 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10843 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10844 under Win32.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10848 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10849 extensions to be obtained and added.
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10853 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10854 [Bodo Moeller]
10855
10856 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10857
10858 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10860
10861 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10862 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10863
10864 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10865 program.
10866 [Steve Henson]
10867
10868 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10869 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10870 DH parameters contain its length).
10871
10872 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10873 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10874 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10875 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10876 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10877 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10878 utter importance to use
10879 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10880 or
10881 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10882 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10883 attacks may become possible!
10884 [Bodo Moeller]
10885
10886 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10887 [Bodo Moeller]
10888
10889 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10890 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10891 [Steve Henson]
10892
10893 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10894 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10895 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10896 or long name.
10897 [Steve Henson]
10898
10899 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10900 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10901 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10902 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10903 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10904 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10905 private key operations.
10906 [Steve Henson]
10907
10908 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10909 [Andy Polyakov]
10910
10911 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10912 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10913 to
10914 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10915 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10916 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10917 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10918 the password callback is called.
10919 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10920
10921 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10922
10923 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10924 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10925 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10926 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10927 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10928 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10929 this will work.
10930
10931 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10932 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10933 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10934 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10935 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10936 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10937 [Bodo Moeller]
10938
10939 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10940 [Andy Polyakov]
10941
10942 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10943 delete an unused file.
10944 [Ulf Möller]
10945
10946 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10947 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10948 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10949 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10950 [Steve Henson]
10951
10952 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10953 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10954 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10955 of an error.
10956 [Bodo Moeller]
10957
10958 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10959 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10960 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10961
10962 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10963 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10964 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10965 comparison" warnings.
10966 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10967 [Steve Henson]
10968
10969 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10970 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10971 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10972 [Steve Henson]
10973
10974 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10975 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10976
10977 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10978 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10979
10980 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10981 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10982 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10983
10984 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10985 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10986 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10987 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10988 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10989 this bug.
10990 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10991
10992 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10993 The interface is as follows:
10994 Applications can use
10995 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10996 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10997 "off" is now the default.
10998 The library internally uses
10999 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11000 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11001 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11002
11003 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11004 even the default) are now avoided.
11005
11006 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11007 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11008 than just having a counter.
11009
11010 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11011
11012 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11013 extensions.
11014 [Bodo Moeller]
11015
11016 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11017 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11018 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11019 Initial "mode" flags are:
11020
11021 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11022 a single record has been written.
11023 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11024 retries use the same buffer location.
11025 (But all of the contents must be
11026 copied!)
11027 [Bodo Moeller]
11028
11029 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11030 worked.
11031
11032 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11033 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11034
11035 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11036 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11037 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11038 [Steve Henson]
11039
11040 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11041 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11042 test programs.
11043 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11044
11045 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11046 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11047 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11048 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11049 point to the end.
11050 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11051 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11052
11053 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11054 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11055 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11056 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11057 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11058 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11059 [Steve Henson]
11060
11061 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11062 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11063 necessary function names.
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11067 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11068 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11069 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11070 [Bodo Moeller]
11071
11072 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11073 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11074 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11075 [Steve Henson]
11076
11077 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11078 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11079 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11080 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11081 such programs?)
11082 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11083 need locks.
11084 [Bodo Moeller]
11085
11086 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11087 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11088 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11089 [Bodo Moeller]
11090
11091 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11092 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11093 appropriate.
11094 [Bodo Moeller]
11095
11096 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11097 for the encoded length.
11098 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11099
11100 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11101 [Steve Henson]
11102
11103 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11104 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11105 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11106 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11107 [Steve Henson]
11108
11109 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11110 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11112
11113 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11114 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11115 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11116 unusual formatting.
11117 [Steve Henson]
11118
11119 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11120 to use the new extension code.
11121 [Steve Henson]
11122
11123 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11124 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11125 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11126 constant.
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11130 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11131 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11132 [Bodo Moeller]
11133
11134 #if 0
11135 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11136 [Ben Laurie]
11137 #else
11138 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11139 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11140 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11141 #endif
11142
11143 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11144 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11145 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11146 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11147 [Ben Laurie]
11148
11149 *) DES library cleanups.
11150 [Ulf Möller]
11151
11152 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11153 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11154 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11155 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11156 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11157 of v2.0.
11158 [Steve Henson]
11159
11160 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11161 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11162 [Bodo Moeller]
11163
11164 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11165 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11166 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11167 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11168 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11169 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11170 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11171 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11172 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11173 [Steve Henson]
11174
11175 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11176 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11177 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11178 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11179 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11180 value doesn't matter.
11181 [Steve Henson]
11182
11183 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11184 support mutable.
11185 [Ben Laurie]
11186
11187 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11188 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11189 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11190 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11191
11192 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11193 [Ulf Möller]
11194
11195 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11196 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11197 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11198
11199 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11200 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11201
11202 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11203 [Ben Laurie]
11204
11205 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11206 [Ben Laurie]
11207
11208 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11209 [Ben Laurie]
11210
11211 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11212 [Bodo Moeller]
11213
11214
11215 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11216
11217 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11218
11219 *) Updated some demos.
11220 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11221
11222 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11223 [Wu Zhigang]
11224
11225 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11226 [Steve Henson]
11227
11228 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11229 [Steve Henson]
11230
11231 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11232 instead of using a fixed path.
11233 [Bodo Moeller]
11234
11235 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11236 [Andy Polyakov]
11237
11238 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11239 [Richard Levitte]
11240
11241
11242 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11243
11244 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11245 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11246 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11247
11248 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11249 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11250 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11251 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11252 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11253 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11254 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11255 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11256 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11257 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11258 [Steve Henson]
11259
11260 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11261 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11262 [Steve Henson]
11263
11264 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11265 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11266 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11267 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11268 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11269
11270 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11271 [Bodo Moeller]
11272
11273 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11274 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11275 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11276 [Steve Henson]
11277
11278 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11279 [Ben Laurie]
11280
11281 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11282 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11283 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11284 key elements as negative integers.
11285 [Steve Henson]
11286
11287 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11288 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11289
11290 *) VMS support.
11291 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11292
11293 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11294 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11295 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11296 [Steve Henson]
11297
11298 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11299 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11300 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11301 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11302 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11303 [Bodo Moeller]
11304
11305 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11306 [Ulf Möller]
11307
11308 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11309 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11310 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11312
11313 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11314 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11315 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11316
11317 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11318 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11319 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11320 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11321 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11322 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11323 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11324 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11325 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11326
11327 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11328 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11329 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11330 does not influence s as it used to.
11331
11332 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11333 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11334 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11335 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11336 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11337 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11338 [Bodo Moeller]
11339
11340 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11341 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11342 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11343 key type.
11344 [Steve Henson]
11345
11346 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11347 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11348 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11349 and 'x509').
11350 [Steve Henson]
11351
11352 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11353 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11354 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11355 extension option.
11356 [Steve Henson]
11357
11358 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11359 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11360 [Ben Laurie]
11361
11362 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11363 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11364
11365 *) Support Mingw32.
11366 [Ulf Möller]
11367
11368 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11369 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11370
11371 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11372 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11373
11374 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11375 [Ulf Möller]
11376
11377 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11378 [Anonymous]
11379
11380 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11382
11383 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11384 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11385 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11386 DER-encoded.)
11387 [Bodo Moeller]
11388
11389 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11390 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11391 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11392 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11393 now it really counts the depth.
11394 [Bodo Moeller]
11395
11396 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11397 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11398 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11399 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11400 didn't match the private key).
11401
11402 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11403 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11404 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11405 [Bodo Moeller]
11406
11407 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11408 [Ulf Möller]
11409
11410 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11411 David Harris.
11412 [Bodo Moeller]
11413
11414 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11415 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11416 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11417 [Bodo Moeller]
11418
11419 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11420 [Bodo Moeller]
11421
11422 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11423 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11424 such as /usr/local/bin.
11425 [Bodo Moeller]
11426
11427 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11428 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11429
11430 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11431 [Ulf Möller]
11432
11433 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11434 extension adding in x509 utility.
11435 [Steve Henson]
11436
11437 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11438 [Ulf Möller]
11439
11440 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11441 prototypes.
11442 [Steve Henson]
11443
11444 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11445 [Ulf Möller]
11446
11447 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11448 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11449 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11450 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11451 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11452 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11453 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11454 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11455 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11456 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11457 [Steve Henson]
11458
11459 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11460 [Bodo Moeller]
11461
11462 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11463 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11464 [Bodo Moeller]
11465
11466 *) Fix some race conditions.
11467 [Bodo Moeller]
11468
11469 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11470 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11471 [Steve Henson]
11472
11473 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11474 [Ulf Möller]
11475
11476 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11477 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11478 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11479 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11480
11481 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11482 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11483
11484 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11485 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11486 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11487
11488 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11489 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11490
11491 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11492 [Ulf Möller]
11493
11494 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11495 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11496
11497 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11498 [Ulf Möller]
11499
11500 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11501 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11502
11503 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11504 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11505 [Steve Henson]
11506
11507 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11508 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11509 [Ben Laurie]
11510
11511 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11512 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11513 [Steve Henson]
11514
11515 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11516 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11517 [Steve Henson]
11518
11519 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11520 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11521 [Steve Henson]
11522
11523 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11524 support typesafe stack.
11525 [Steve Henson]
11526
11527 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11528 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11529
11530 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11531 old X509V3 handling code.
11532 [Steve Henson]
11533
11534 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11535 [Ulf Möller]
11536
11537 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11538 [Bodo Moeller]
11539
11540 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11541 [Ben Laurie]
11542
11543 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11544 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11545
11546 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11547 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11548 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11549 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11550 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11551 [Ben Laurie]
11552
11553 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11554 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11555 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11556 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11557 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11558
11559 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11560 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11561 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11562 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11563
11564 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11565 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11566 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11568
11569 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11570 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11571 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11572 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11573 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11574 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11575 [Bodo Moeller]
11576
11577 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11578 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11579 [Bodo Moeller]
11580
11581 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11582 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11583 [Ulf Möller]
11584
11585 *) Tweaks to Configure
11586 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11587
11588 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11589 yet...
11590 [Steve Henson]
11591
11592 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11593 [Ulf Möller]
11594
11595 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11596 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11597 [Ulf Möller]
11598
11599 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11600 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11601 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11602 [Bodo Moeller]
11603
11604 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11605 [Bodo Moeller]
11606
11607 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11608 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11609 [Steve Henson]
11610
11611 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11612 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11613 to library startup routines.
11614 [Steve Henson]
11615
11616 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11617 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11618 codes along the way.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11622 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11623 objects to objects.h
11624 [Steve Henson]
11625
11626 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11627 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11628 [Steve Henson]
11629
11630 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11631 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11632
11633 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11634 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11635 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11636
11637 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11638 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11639 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11640
11641 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11642 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11643 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11644
11645
11646 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11647
11648 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11649 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11650 [Ben Laurie]
11651
11652 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11653 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11654 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11655 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11656 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11657
11658 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11659 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11660 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11661 document.
11662 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11663
11664 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11665 Malloc, Free.
11666 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11667
11668 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11669 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11670
11671 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11672 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11673 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11674 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11675
11676 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11677 [Ben Laurie]
11678
11679 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11680 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11681 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11682 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11683 [Steve Henson]
11684
11685 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11686 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11687 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11688 [Steve Henson]
11689
11690 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11691 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11692 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11693 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11694 installed as `perl').
11695 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11696
11697 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11698 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11699
11700 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11701 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11702 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11703 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11704 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11705 [Steve Henson]
11706
11707 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11708 [Ben Laurie]
11709
11710 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11711 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11712 is horrible: I feel ill....
11713 [Steve Henson]
11714
11715 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11716 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11717 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11718 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11719 [Steve Henson]
11720
11721 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11723
11724 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11725 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11726 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11728
11729 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11730 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11731 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11732 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11733 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11734 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11735 openssl_bio.xs.
11736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11737
11738 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11739 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11740
11741 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11742 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11743
11744 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11745 [Ben Laurie]
11746
11747 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11748 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11749 in CRLs.
11750 [Steve Henson]
11751
11752 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11753 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11754 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11755 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11756 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11757 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11758 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11759 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11760 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11761 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11762 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11763
11764 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11765 [Ben Laurie]
11766
11767 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11768 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11769 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11770 for linking it into DSOs.
11771 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11772
11773 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11774 Fixed.
11775 [Ben Laurie]
11776
11777 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11778 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11779 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11780 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11781 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11782 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11783
11784 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11785 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11786 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11787 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11788 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11789 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11790 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11791
11792 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11793 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11794 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11795 encryption.
11796 [Ben Laurie]
11797
11798 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11799 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11800 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11801 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11802 [Steve Henson]
11803
11804 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11805 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11806 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11807 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11808 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11809 field as blank.
11810 [Steve Henson]
11811
11812 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11813 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11814 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11815 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11817
11818 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11819 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11820 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11821
11822 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11823 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11824
11825 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11826 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11827 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11828 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11829 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11830 [Steve Henson]
11831
11832 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11833 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11834 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11835 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11836 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11837 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11838 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11839 [Ben Laurie]
11840
11841 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11842 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11843 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11844 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11845 [Ben Laurie]
11846
11847 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11848 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11849
11850 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11851 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11852 [Steve Henson]
11853
11854 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11855 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11856 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11857 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11858 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11859 (e.g. s_server).
11860 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11861 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11862 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11863 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11864 no way to reconfigure them.
11865 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11866 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11867 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11868 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11869 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11870 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11871
11872 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11873 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11874 recognized by the users.
11875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11876
11877 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11878 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11879 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11880 already masked variable.
11881 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11882
11883 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11884 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11885
11886 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11887 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11888 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11889 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11890
11891 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11892 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11893 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11894
11895 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11896 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11897 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11898 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11899 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11900 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11901 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11902 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11903 now, too.
11904 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11905
11906 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11907 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11908 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11909
11910 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11911 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11912 config file.
11913 [Steve Henson]
11914
11915 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11916 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11917
11918 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11919 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11920 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11921 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11922 [Ben Laurie]
11923
11924 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11925 [Steve Henson]
11926
11927 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11928 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11929
11930 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11931 [Ben Laurie]
11932
11933 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11934 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11935 [Steve Henson]
11936
11937 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11938 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11939 [Steve Henson]
11940
11941 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11942 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11943 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11944 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11945 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11946 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11947 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11948 Ben Laurie]
11949
11950 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11951 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11952
11953 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11954 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11955 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11956 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11957 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11958
11959 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11960 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11961 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11962 [Steve Henson]
11963
11964 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11965 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11966 an example.
11967 [Steve Henson]
11968
11969 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11970 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11971 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11972
11973 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11974 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11975 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11976 build instructions.
11977 [Steve Henson]
11978
11979 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11980 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11981 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11982 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11983 [Steve Henson]
11984
11985 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11986 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11987 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11988 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11989 [Ben Laurie]
11990
11991 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11992 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11993 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11994 so it wasn't spotted.
11995 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11996
11997 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11998 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11999 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12000 vectors if you have them.
12001 [Ben Laurie]
12002
12003 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12004 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12005 [Ben Laurie]
12006
12007 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12008 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12009 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12010 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12011 If you do a:
12012 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12013 it will update them.
12014 [Steve Henson]
12015
12016 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12017 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12018 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12019 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12020 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12021 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12022 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12023 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12024
12025 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12026 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12027 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12028 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12029 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12030 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12031 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12032 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12033 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12035
12036 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12037 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12038 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12039 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12040 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12041 [Steve Henson]
12042
12043 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12044 INTEGER code.
12045 [Steve Henson]
12046
12047 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12048 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12049
12050 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12051 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12052
12053 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12054 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12055 [Ben Laurie]
12056
12057 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12058 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12059
12060 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12061 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12062
12063 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12064 [Steve Henson]
12065
12066 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12067 few typos.
12068 [Steve Henson]
12069
12070 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12071 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12072 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12073 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12074
12075 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12076 [Steve Henson]
12077
12078 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12079 [Steve Henson]
12080
12081 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12082 [Steve Henson]
12083
12084 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12085 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12086 [Steve Henson]
12087
12088 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12089 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12090 CA extensions.
12091 [Steve Henson]
12092
12093 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12094 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12095 [Steve Henson]
12096
12097 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12098 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12099 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12100 [Steve Henson]
12101
12102 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12103 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12104 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12105 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12106 properly to be processed.
12107 [Steve Henson]
12108
12109 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12110 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12111 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12112 [Ben Laurie]
12113
12114 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12115 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12116
12117 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12118 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12119 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12120 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12121 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12122 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12123 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12124 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12125 or delete all the .err files.
12126 [Steve Henson]
12127
12128 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12129 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12130 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12131 to regenerate it if needed.
12132 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12133 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12134
12135 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12136 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12137
12138 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12139 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12140 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12141 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12142 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12143 [Steve Henson]
12144
12145 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12146 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12147
12148 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12149 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12150
12151 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12152 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12153 error, but didn't set one).
12154 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12155
12156 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12157 [Ben Laurie]
12158
12159 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12160 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12161 [Steve Henson]
12162
12163 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12164 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12165
12166 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12167 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12168 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12169 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12170 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12171 OID is not part of the table.
12172 [Steve Henson]
12173
12174 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12175 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12176 [Ben Laurie]
12177
12178 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12179 [Ben Laurie]
12180
12181 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12182 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12183 was "1234").
12184 [Steve Henson]
12185
12186 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12187 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12188
12189 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12190 NULL pointers.
12191 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12192
12193 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12194 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12195
12196 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12197 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12198
12199 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12200 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12201
12202 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12203 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12204 [Ben Laurie]
12205
12206 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12207 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12208 [Steve Henson]
12209
12210 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12211 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12212
12213 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12214 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12215
12216 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12217 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12218
12219 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12220 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12221
12222 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12223 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12224 unused in the certificate verification process.
12225 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12226
12227 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12228 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12229 [Steve Henson]
12230
12231 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12232 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12233 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12234
12235 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12236 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12237 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12238 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12239 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12240
12241 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12242 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12243 [Steve Henson]
12244
12245 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12246 [Steve Henson]
12247
12248 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12249 [Paul Sutton]
12250
12251 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12252 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12253
12254 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12255 [Ben Laurie]
12256
12257 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12258 [Ben Laurie]
12259
12260 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12261 [Ben Laurie]
12262
12263 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12264 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12265 other error libraries.
12266 [Steve Henson]
12267
12268 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12269 [Steve Henson]
12270
12271 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12272 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12273 be read in.
12274 [Steve Henson]
12275
12276 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12277 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12278 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12279 the new set of documentation files.
12280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12281
12282 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12283 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12284 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12285 number of arguments.
12286 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12287
12288 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12289 [Ben Laurie]
12290
12291 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12292 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12293 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12294
12295 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12296 [Ben Laurie]
12297
12298 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12299 nextstep
12300 ncr-scde
12301 unixware-2.0
12302 unixware-2.0-pentium
12303 sco5-cc.
12304 [Ben Laurie]
12305
12306 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12307 before they are needed.
12308 [Ben Laurie]
12309
12310 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12311 [Ben Laurie]
12312
12313
12314 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12315
12316 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12317 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12319
12320 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12321 [Paul Sutton]
12322
12323 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12324 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12326
12327 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12328 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12329 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12330
12331 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12332 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12333 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12334
12335 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12336 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12337
12338 *) Updated the README file.
12339 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12340
12341 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12342 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12344
12345 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12346 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12347 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12348
12349 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12350 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12351 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12352 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12353 o removed obsolete TODO file
12354 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12355 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12356
12357 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12358 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12359 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12360 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12361 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12362 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12364
12365 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12366 [Mark J. Cox]
12367
12368 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12369 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12370 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12371 summer 1998.
12372 [The OpenSSL Project]
12373
12374
12375 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12376
12377 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12378 [Eric A. Young]
12379
12380 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12381 [Eric A. Young]
12382
12383 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12384 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12385 [Eric A. Young]
12386
12387 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12388 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12389 available).
12390 [Eric A. Young]
12391
12392 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12393 binary structures
12394 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12395
12396 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12397 [Eric A. Young]
