5 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
8 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
9 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
10 [Steve Henson]
11
12 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
13 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
14 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
15 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
16 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
17 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
18 CVE-2009-4355.
19 [Steve Henson]
20
21 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
22 change when encrypting or decrypting.
23 [Bodo Moeller]
24
25 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
26 connect (but not renegotiate) with servers which do not support RI.
27 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
28 [Steve Henson]
29
30 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
31 [Steve Henson]
32
33 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
34 a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
35 Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
36 when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
37 this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
38 receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
39 error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
40 expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
41 denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
42 [Steve Henson]
43
44 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
45 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
46 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
47 [Steve Henson]
48
49 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
50 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
51 [Steve Henson]
52
53 *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-03. Re-enable
54 renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
55 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
56 bad idea. It has been replaced by
57 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
58 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
59 know what you are doing.
60 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
61
62 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
63 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
64 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
65 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
66 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
67 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
68 the handshake.
69 [Steve Henson]
70
71 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
72 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
73 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
74 correctly.
75 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
76
77 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
78 warnings in other configurations.
79 [Steve Henson]
80
81 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
82 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
83 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
84 systems need.
85 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
86
87 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
88 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
89 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
90
91 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
92 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
93 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
94 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
95 [Steve Henson]
96
97 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
98 and restored.
99 [Steve Henson]
100
101 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
102 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
103 clash.
104 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
105
106 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
107 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
108 other than a simple chain.
109 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
110
111 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
112 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
113 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
114 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
115 [Steve Henson]
116
117 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
118 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
119 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
120 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
121 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
122 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
123 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
124 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
125 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
126
127 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
128 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
129 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
130 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
131 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
132 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
133 (CVE-2009-1377)
134 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
135
136 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
137 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
138 [Daniel Mentz]
139
140 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
141 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
142
143 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
144 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
145
146 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
147
148 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
149 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
150 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
151 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
152 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
153 you're doing.
154 [Ben Laurie]
155
156 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
157
158 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
159 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
160 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
161 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
162
163 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
164 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
165 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
166 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
167
168 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
169 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
170 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
171 [Steve Henson]
172
173 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
174 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
175 level.
176 [Steve Henson]
177
178 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
179 to handle some structures.
180 [Steve Henson]
181
182 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
183 for a '\n'
184 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
185
186 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
187 [Matthieu Herrb]
188
189 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
190 [Steve Henson]
191
192 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
193 [Steve Henson]
194
195 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
196 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
197 chosen compiler.
198 [Ben Laurie]
199
200 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
201
202 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
203 (CVE-2008-5077).
204 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
205
206 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
207 [Ben Laurie]
208
209 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
210 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
211 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
212 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
213
214 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
215 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
216
217 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
218 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
219 [Bodo Moeller]
220
221 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
222 s_client and s_server.
223 [Ben Laurie]
224
225 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
226 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
227
228 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
229 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
230
231 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
232 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
233 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
234 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
235 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
236 [Bodo Moeller]
237
238 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
239
240 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
241 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
242 [PR #1679]
243
244 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
245 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
246 [Nagendra Modadugu]
247
248 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
249 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
250 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
251 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
252
253 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
254 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
255
256 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
257
258 *) Various precautionary measures:
259
260 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
261
262 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
263 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
264 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
265
266 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
267 outside the expected range.
268
269 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
270 builds.
271
272 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
273
274 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
275 the load fails. Useful for distros.
276 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
277
278 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
279 [Steve Henson]
280
281 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
282 [Huang Ying]
283
284 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
285
286 This work was sponsored by Logica.
287 [Steve Henson]
288
289 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
290 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
291 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
292
293 This work was sponsored by Logica.
294 [Steve Henson]
295
296 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
297 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
298 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
299 files.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
302 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
303
304 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
305 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
306 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
307 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
308
309 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
310 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
311 [Joe Orton]
312
313 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
314
315 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
316 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
317 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
318
319 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
320
321 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
322 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
323 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
324 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
325 [Lutz Jaenicke]
326
327 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
328 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
329 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
330 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
331 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
332 invalid read after the end of 'db').
333 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
334
335 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
336
337 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
338 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
339 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
340 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
341 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
342
343 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
344 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
345
346 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
347 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
348 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
349 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
350 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
351
352 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
353
354 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
355 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
356 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
357 sets may exist with different names.
358 [Steve Henson]
359
360 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
361 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
362 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
363 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
364 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
365 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
366 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
367 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
368 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
369 implementation.
370 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
371
372 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
373 implemention in the following ways:
374
375 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
376 hard coded.
377
378 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
379 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
380 ignored for embedded content.
381
382 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
383 with the enable-cms configuration option.
384 [Steve Henson]
385
386 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
387 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
388 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
389 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
390
391 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
392 uncompresses any data passed through it.
393 [Steve Henson]
394
395 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
396 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
397 [Steve Henson]
398
399 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
400 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
401 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
402 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
403 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
404 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
405 data.
406 [Steve Henson]
407
408 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
409 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
410 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
411
412 *) Netware support:
413
414 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
415 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
416 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
417 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
418 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
419 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
420 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
421 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
422 platform
423 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
424 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
425 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
426 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
427 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
428 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
429 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
430
431 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
432 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
433 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
434 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
435 to s_client and s_server.
436 [Steve Henson]
437
438 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
439
440 *) Fix various bugs:
441 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
442 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
443 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
444 + Fix ia64 assembler code
445 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
446
447 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
448
449 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
450 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
451 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
452 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
453 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
454 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
455 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
456 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
457 [Andy Polyakov]
458
459 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
460 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
461 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
462 Steve Henson]
463
464 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
465 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
466 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
467 supported.
468
469 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
470 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
471 SSL_SESSION.
472
473 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
474 protection in servers so again support should be possible
475 with no application modification.
476
477 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
478 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
479
480 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
481 or server extensions to be examined.
482
483 This work was sponsored by Google.
484 [Steve Henson]
485
486 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
487 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
488 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
489 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
490 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
491 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
492 server_name extension.
493
494 New functions (subject to change):
495
496 SSL_get_servername()
497 SSL_get_servername_type()
498 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
499
500 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
501
502 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
503 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
504 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
505 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
506 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
507
508 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
509
510 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
511 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
512 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
513 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
514 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
515 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
516 option.
517
518 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
519
520 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
521 [Steve Henson]
522
523 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
524 [Andy Polyakov]
525
526 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
527 (which previously caused an internal error).
528 [Bodo Moeller]
529
530 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
531 [Ben Laurie]
532
533 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
534 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
535
536 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
537 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
538 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
539
540 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
541 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
542 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
543 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
544
545 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
546 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
547 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
548 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
549
550 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
551 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
552 information. For detailed background information, see
553 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
554 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
555 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
556 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
557 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
558 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
559 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
560 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
561 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
562 remove a conditional branch.
563
564 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
565 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
566 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
567 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
568 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
569 remains as a deprecated alias.
570
571 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
572 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
573 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
574 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
575
576 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
577 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
578 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
579 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
580 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
581 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
582 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
583 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
584
585 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
586
587 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
588 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
589 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
590 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
591 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
592 with applications using a single external cache for quite
593 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
594 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
595 in a different context.
596 [Bodo Moeller]
597
598 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
599 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
600 authentication-only ciphersuites.
601 [Bodo Moeller]
602
603 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
604 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
605 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
606
607 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
608
609 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
610 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
611 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
612 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
613 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
614 [Victor Duchovni]
615
616 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
617 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
618 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
619 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
620 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
621 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
622 [Bodo Moeller]
623
624 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
625 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
626 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
627 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
628 message has informed the client about his choice.)
629 [Bodo Moeller]
630
631 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
632 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
633
634 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
635 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
636 Improve header file function name parsing.
637 [Steve Henson]
638
639 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
640 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
641 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
642
643 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
644
645 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
646 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
647 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
648
649 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
650 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
651
652 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
653 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
654
655 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
656 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
657 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
658
659 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
660 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
661 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
662 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
663 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
664 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
665 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
666 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
667 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
668
669 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
670 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
671 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
672 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
673 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
674
675 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
676 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
677 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
678 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
679 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
680 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
681 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
682 multiple values to extend the available space.
683
684 [Bodo Moeller]
685
686 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
687
688 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
689 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
690
691 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
692 [Ben Laurie]
693
694 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
695 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
696 undesirable limitations.
697 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
698
699 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
700 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
701 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
702 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
703 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
704 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
705 to avoid potential handshake problems.
706 [Bodo Moeller]
707
708 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
709
710 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
711 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
712 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
713
714 The latter two were purportedly from
715 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
716 appear there.
717
718 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
719 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
720 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
721 [Bodo Moeller]
722
723 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
724 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
725 [Bodo Moeller]
726
727 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
728 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
729 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
730 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
731
732 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
733 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
734 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
735 [NTT]
736
737 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
738 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
739 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
740 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
741 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
742 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
743 [Steve Henson]
744
745 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
746
747 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
748 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
749 [Steve Henson]
750
751 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
752 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
753
754 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
755 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
756 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
757 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
758 [Douglas Stebila]
759
760 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
761 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
762 [Steve Henson]
763
764 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
765 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
766 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
767 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
768 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
769 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
770 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
771 can't be loaded.
772 [Steve Henson]
773
774 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
775 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
776 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
777 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
778 [Steve Henson]
779
780 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
781 under VC++ build system.
782 [Steve Henson]
783
784 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
785 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
786 [Richard Levitte]
787
788 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
789
790 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
791 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
792 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
793 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
794 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
795
796 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
797 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
798 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
799
800 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
801 [Steve Henson]
802
803 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
804 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
805 [Nils Larsch]
806
807 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
808 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
809
810 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
811 [Nick Mathewson]
812
813 *) Extended Windows CE support.
814 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
815
816 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
817 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
818 [Steve Henson]
819
820 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
821 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
822 smime utility.
823 [Steve Henson]
824
825 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
826
827 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
828 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
829
830 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
831 [Richard Levitte]
832
833 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
834 key into the same file any more.
835 [Richard Levitte]
836
837 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
838 [Andy Polyakov]
839
840 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
841 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
842
843 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
844 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
845 [Richard Levitte]
846
847 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
848 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
849 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
850 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
851 this only applies when building 'shared'.
852 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
853
854 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
855 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
856 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
857 [Steve Henson]
858
859 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
860 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
861 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
862 - add new function for parameter creation
863 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
864 BN_BLINDING parameters
865 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
866 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
867 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
868 threads.
869 [Nils Larsch]
870
871 *) Add support for DTLS.
872 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
873
874 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
875 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
876 [Walter Goulet]
877
878 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
879 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
880 [Nils Larsch]
881
882 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
883 the apps/openssl applications.
884 [Nils Larsch]
885
886 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
887 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
888 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
889 [Ben Laurie]
890
891 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
892 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
893
894 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
895 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
896
897 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
898 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
899 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
900 avoid this algorithm.)
901
902 [Bodo Moeller]
903
904 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
905 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
906 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
907 [Richard Levitte]
908
909 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
910 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
911 [Andy Polyakov]
912
913 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
914 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
915 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
916 pod file:
917
918 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
919
920 The blank line is mandatory.
921
922 [Steve Henson]
923
924 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
925 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
926 sources.
927 [Steve Henson]
928
929 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
930 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
931
932 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
933 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
934 to support policy checking and print out.
935 [Steve Henson]
936
937 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
938 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
939 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
940 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
941
942 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
943 [Geoff Thorpe]
944
945 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
946 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
947
948 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
949 implementation contributed by IBM.
950 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
951
952 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
953 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
954 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
955 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
956
957 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
958 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
959
960 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
961 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
962 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
963 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
964 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
965 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
966 [Steve Henson]
967
968 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
969 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
970 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
971 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
972 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
973 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
974 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
975 [Geoff Thorpe]
976
977 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
978 [Steve Henson]
979
980 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
981 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
982 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
983 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
984 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
985 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
986 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
987 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
988 [Steve Henson]
989
990 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
991 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
992 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
993 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
994 [Steve Henson]
995
996 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
997 syntax:
998
999 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1000 [Steve Henson]
1001
1002 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1003 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1004 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1005 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1006 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1007 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1008 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1009 [Geoff Thorpe]
1010
1011 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1012 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1013 [Geoff Thorpe]
1014
1015 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1016 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1017 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1018 [Steve Henson]
1019
1020 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1021 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1022 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1023 below).
1024 [Geoff Thorpe]
1025
1026 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1027 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1028 [Richard Levitte]
1029
1030 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1031 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1032 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1033 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1034 [Geoff Thorpe]
1035
1036 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1037 initialised value as BN_new().
1038 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1039
1040 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1041 [Steve Henson]
1042
1043 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1044 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1045 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1046 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1047 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1048 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1049 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1050 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1051 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1052 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1053 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1054 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1055 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1056 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1057 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1058
1059 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1060 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1061 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1062 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1063 [Geoff Thorpe]
1064
1065 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1066 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1067 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1068 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1069 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1070 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1071 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1072 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1073 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1074 [Geoff Thorpe]
1075
1076 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1077 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1078 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1079 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1080 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1081 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1082 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1083 [Geoff Thorpe]
1084
1085 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1086 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1087 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1088 these have been updated also.
1089 [Geoff Thorpe]
1090
1091 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1092 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1093 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1094 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1095 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1096 functions.
1097 [Steve Henson]
1098
1099 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1100 structure of type "other".
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1104 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1105 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1106 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1107 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1108 situation in the script.
1109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1110
1111 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1112 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1113 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1114 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1115 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1116 used as premaster secret.
1117 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1118
1119 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1120 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1121 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1122
1123 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1124 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1125
1126 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1127 control of the error stack.
1128 [Richard Levitte]
1129
1130 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1131 [Richard Levitte]
1132
1133 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1134 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1135 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1136 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1137 [Richard Levitte]
1138
1139 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1140 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1141 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1142 [Richard Levitte]
1143
1144 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1145 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1146 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1147 a memory area.
1148 [Richard Levitte]
1149
1150 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1151 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1152 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1153 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1154 [Richard Levitte]
1155
1156 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1157 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1158 the following flags are defined:
1159
1160 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1161 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1162 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1163 number.
1164
1165 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1166 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1167 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1168 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1169 returns zero.
1170 [Richard Levitte]
1171
1172 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1173 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1174 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1175 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1176 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1177 [Richard Levitte]
1178
1179 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1180 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1181 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1182 [Richard Levitte]
1183
1184 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1185 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1186 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1187 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1188 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1189 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1190 [Richard Levitte]
1191
1192 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1193 req and dirName.
1194 [Steve Henson]
1195
1196 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1200 [Steve Henson]
1201
1202 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1203 [Steve Henson]
1204
1205 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1206 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1207 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1208 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1209 default implementation more easily.
1210 [Geoff Thorpe]
1211
1212 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1213 in config files.
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1217 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1218 [Richard Levitte]
1219
1220 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1221 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1222 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1223 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1224
1225 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1226 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1227 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1228 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1229 [Steve Henson]
1230
1231 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1232 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1233 to do it.
1234 [Richard Levitte]
1235
1236 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1237 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1238 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1239 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1240 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1241 scalar * generator).
1242 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1243
1244 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1245 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1246 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1247 correctly.
1248 [Steve Henson]
1249
1250 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1251 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1252 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1253 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1254 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1255 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1256 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1257 linker additions, eg;
1258 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1259 [Geoff Thorpe]
1260
1261 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1262 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1263 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1264 [Geoff Thorpe]
1265
1266 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1267 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1268 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1269 via PR#459)
1270 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1271
1272 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1273 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1274 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1275 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1276 [Geoff Thorpe]
1277
1278 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1279 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1280 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1281 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1282 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1283 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1284 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1285 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1286 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1287 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1288
1289 Example for using the new callback interface:
1290
1291 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1292 void *my_arg = ...;
1293 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1294
1295 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1296
1297 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1298 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1299 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1300 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1301 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1302 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1303 */
1304
1305 [Geoff Thorpe]
1306
1307 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1308 available to TLS with the number defined in
1309 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1310 [Richard Levitte]
1311
1312 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1313 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1314
1315 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1316 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1317 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1318 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1319
1320 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1321 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1322
1323 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1324 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1325 well.
1326 [Richard Levitte]
1327
1328 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1329 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1330 [Richard Levitte]
1331
1332 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1333 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1334 and a macro that behave like
1335 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1336
1337 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1338 [Nils Larsch]
1339
1340 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1341 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1342 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1343 if applicable.
1344 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1345
1346 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1347 [Bodo Moeller]
1348
1349 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1350 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1351 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1352 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1353 directory engines/.
1354 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1355 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1356 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1357 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1358 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1359 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1360 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1361 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1362
1363 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1364 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1365 [Richard Levitte]
1366
1367 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1368 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1369
1370 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1371 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1372 files while avoiding the low level API.
1373
1374 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1375 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1376 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1377 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1378
1379 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1380 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1381 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1382 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1383 instead of the low level API.
1384 [Steve Henson]
1385
1386 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1387 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1388 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1389 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1390 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1391 PKCS#7 code.
1392
1393 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1394 down to the template encoder.
1395 [Steve Henson]
1396
1397 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1398 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1399 [Bodo Moeller]
1400
1401 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1402 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1403 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1404 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1405
1406 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1407 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1408
1409 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1410 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1411
1412 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1413 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1414 [Bodo Moeller]
1415
1416 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1417 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1418 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1419 [Bodo Moeller]
1420
1421 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1422 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1423
1424 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1425 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1426
1427 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1428 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1429 New EC_METHOD:
1430
1431 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1432
1433 New API functions:
1434
1435 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1436 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1437 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1438 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1439 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1440 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1441
1442 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1443 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1444 enable it).
1445
1446 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1447 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1448 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1449 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1450 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1451 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1452 various internal method names.)
1453
1454 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1455 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1456
1457 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1458 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1459
1460 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1461 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1462
1463 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1464 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1465 methods are undefined.
1466
1467 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1468 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1469
1470 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1471 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1472 length of the modulus.
1473
1474 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1475 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1476
1477 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1478 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1479
1480 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1481 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1482
1483 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1484 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1485 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1486
1487 BN_GF2m_add
1488 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1489 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1490 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1491 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1492 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1493 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1494 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1495 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1496 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1497
1498 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1499 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1500
1501 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1502 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1503 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1504 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1505 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1506 where
1507 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1508 This applies to the following functions:
1509
1510 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1511 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1512 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1513 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1514 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1515 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1516 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1517 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1518 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1519 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1520
1521 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1522
1523 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1524 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1525
1526 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1527
1528 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1529 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1530 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1531 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1532 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1533
1534 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1535 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1536
1537 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1538 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1539 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1540
1541 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1542 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1543
1544 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1545 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1546 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1547 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1548 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1549
1550 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1551 functions
1552 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1553 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1554 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1555 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1556 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1557 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1558 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1559 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1560 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1561 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1562 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1563 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1564
1565 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1566 functions
1567 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1568 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1569 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1570 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1571 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1572
1573 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1574 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1575 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1576 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1577
1578 *) Add functions
1579 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1580 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1581 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1582 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1583 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1584 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1585 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1586
1587 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1588 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1589 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1590 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1591 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1592 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1593 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1594 adding different types of curves.
1595 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1596
1597 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1598 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1599 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1600 [Bodo Moeller]
1601
1602 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1603 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1604
1605 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1606 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1607 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1608 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1609
1610 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1611
1612 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1613 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1614
1615 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1616 library. Most notably,
1617 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1618 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1619 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1620 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1621 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1622 extracted before the specific public key;
1623 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1625
1626 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1627 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1628 function
1629 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1630 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1631 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1632 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1633 accessed via
1634 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1635 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1636 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1637
1638 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1639 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1640 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1641 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1642 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1643 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1644 differing sizes.
1645 [Richard Levitte]
1646
1647 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1648
1649 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1650 sensitive data.
1651 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1652
1653 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1654 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1655 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1656 [Bodo Moeller]
1657
1658 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1659 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1660 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1661 [Victor Duchovni]
1662
1663 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1664 [Steve Henson]
1665
1666 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1667 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1668 [Steve Henson]
1669
1670 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1671 run algorithm test programs.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1678 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1679 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1680 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1681 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1682 [Bodo Moeller]
1683
1684 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1685 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1686 [Steve Henson]
1687
1688 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1689
1690 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1691 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1692 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1693
1694 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1695 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1698 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1699
1700 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1701 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1702 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1703
1704 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1705 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1706 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1707 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1708 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1709 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1710 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1711 [Bodo Moeller]
1712
1713 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1714
1715 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1716 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1717
1718 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1719 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1720 undesirable limitations.
1721 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1722
1723 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1724
1725 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1726 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1727 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1728
1729 The latter two were purportedly from
1730 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1731 appear there.
1732
1733 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1734 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1735 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1736 [Bodo Moeller]
1737
1738 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1739 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1740 [Bodo Moeller]
1741
1742 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1743
1744 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1745 module in FIPS mode.
1746 [Steve Henson]
1747
1748 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1749 [Steve Henson]
1750
1751 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1752 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1753 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1754 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1758
1759 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1760 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1761 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1762 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1763 the difference induced by this change.
1764 [Andy Polyakov]
1765
1766 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1767
1768 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1769 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1770 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1771 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1772 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1773
1774 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1775 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1776 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1777
1778 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1779 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1780 [Steve Henson]
1781
1782 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1783 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1784 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1785 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1786 biased k.)
1787 [Bodo Moeller]
1788
1789 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1790 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1791 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1792 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1793 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1794
1795 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1796 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1797 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1798 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1799 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1800 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1801
1802 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1803
1804 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1805 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1806 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1807 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1808 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1809 [Bodo Moeller]
1810
1811 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1812 clients need.
1813 [Steve Henson]
1814
1815 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1816 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1817 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1821 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1822 structures constant.
1823 [Steve Henson]
1824
1825 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1826
1827 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1828 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1829
1830 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1831 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1832 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1833 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1834 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1835 some needed definitions.
1836 [Steve Henson]
1837
1838 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1839 [Ulf Möller]
1840
1841 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1842 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1843 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1844 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1845 [Richard Levitte]
1846
1847 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1848
1849 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1850 server and client random values. Previously
1851 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1852 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1853
1854 This change has negligible security impact because:
1855
1856 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1857 data.
1858
1859 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1860 handshake.
1861
1862 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1863 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1864 values.
1865
1866 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1867 to our attention.
1868
1869 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1870
1871 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1872 [Ulf Möller]
1873
1874 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1875 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1876 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1877
1878 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1879 [Steve Henson]
1880
1881 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1882 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1883 [Andy Polyakov]
1884
1885 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1886 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1887 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1888
1889 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1890 [Steve Henson]
1891
1892 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1893 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1894 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1895 certificates.
1896 [Steve Henson]
1897
1898 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1899 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1900 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1901 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1902
1903 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1904 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1905 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1906 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1907 been given)
1908 [Richard Levitte]
1909
1910 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1911
1912 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1913 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1914 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1915 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1916 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1917 [Steve Henson]
1918
1919 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1920 [Steve Henson]
1921
1922 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1923 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1924
1925 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1926 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1927 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1928 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1929 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1930 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1931 rather than being initialized to 1.
1932 [Steve Henson]
1933
1934 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1935
1936 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1937 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1938 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1939
1940 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1941 (CVE-2004-0112)
1942 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1943
1944 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1945 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1946 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1947 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1948 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1949 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1950 [Richard Levitte]
1951
1952 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1953 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1954 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1955 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1956 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1957 for these cases.
1958 [Steve Henson]
1959
1960 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1961 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1962 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1963 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1964 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1965 [Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1968 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1969 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1970 < 0.9.7.
1971 [Steve Henson]
1972
1973 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1974 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1975
1976 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1977 [Steve Henson]
1978
1979 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1980
1981 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1982
1983 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1984 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1985
1986 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1987
1988 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1989 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1990
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1994 exiting on the first error in a request.
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1998 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1999 specifications.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2003 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2004 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2005 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2006
2007 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2008 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2009 [Richard Levitte]
2010
2011 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2012 blocks during encryption.
2013 [Richard Levitte]
2014
2015 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2016 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2017 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2018 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2019 certain size.
2020 [Steve Henson]
2021
2022 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2023 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2024 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2025 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2026 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2027 parser.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2031
2032 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2033 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2034 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2035 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2036 [Bodo Moeller]
2037
2038 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2039 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2040 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2041 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2042 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2043
2044 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2045 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2046 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2047 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2048 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2049 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2050 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2051 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2052 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2053 [Bodo Moeller]
2054
2055 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2056 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2057 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2058 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2059 [Geoff Thorpe]
2060
2061 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2062 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2063 [Ulf Moeller]
2064
2065 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2066
2067 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2068 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2069 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2070 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2071 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2072
2073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2074 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2075 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2076
2077 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2078 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2079 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2080 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2081 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2082
2083 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2084 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2085 used by default when no-err is given.
2086 [Richard Levitte]
2087
2088 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2089 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2090
2091 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2092 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2093 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2094 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2095 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2096
2097 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2098 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2099 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2100 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2101
2102 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2103
2104 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2105
2106 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2107
2108 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2109 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2110 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2111 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2112 root is omitted).
2113 [Steve Henson]
2114
2115 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2116 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2117
2118 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2119 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2123 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2124 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2125 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2126 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2127
2128 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2129 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2130 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2131 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2132 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2133 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2134 followup to PR #377.
2135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2136
2137 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2138 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2139 [Andy Polyakov]
2140
2141 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2142 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2143 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2144 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2145
2146 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2147
2148 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2149 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2150
2151 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2152 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2153 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2154 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2155 client and server.
2156 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2157 PR #377.
2158 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2159
2160 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2161 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2162 removed entirely.
2163 [Richard Levitte]
2164
2165 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2166 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2167 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2168 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2169 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2170 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2171 of libcrypto.
2172 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2173 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2174 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2175 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2176 have to be made anyway).
2177 [Richard Levitte]
2178
2179 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2180 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2181 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2185 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2186 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2187 [Richard Levitte]
2188
2189 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2190 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2191 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2192
2193 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2194 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2195 edit numbers of the version.
2196 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2197
2198 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2199 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2200 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2201
2202 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2203 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2204
2205 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2206 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2207 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2208
2209 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2210 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2211
2212 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2213 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2214
2215 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2216 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2217
2218 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2219 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2220
2221 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2222 overflows.
2223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2224
2225 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2226 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2228
2229 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2230 representations in a platform independent manner.
2231 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2232
2233 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2234 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2236
2237 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2238 indents.
2239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2240
2241 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2242 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2243
2244 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2245 full. Fixed.
2246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2247
2248 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2249 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2250 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2251
2252 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2253 unconditionally).
2254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2255
2256 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2257 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2258
2259 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2260 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2261
2262 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2264
2265 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2267
2268 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2269 CBCParameter.
2270 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2271
2272 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2273 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2274
2275 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2276 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2277
2278 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2279 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2280 exploitable.
2281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2282
2283 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2284 the 0.9.6 release series:
2285
2286 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2287 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2288 (CVE-2002-0657)
2289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2290
2291 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2292 [Richard Levitte]
2293
2294 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2295 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2296
2297 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2298 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2299
2300 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2301 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2302 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2303 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2304
2305 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2306 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2307 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2308
2309 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2310 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2311 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2312 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2313
2314 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2315 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2316 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2317 some local tweaks:
2318
2319 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2320 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2321 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2322 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2323 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2324 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2325 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2326 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2327 done
2328
2329 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2330 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2331 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2332 [Richard Levitte]
2333
2334 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2335 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2336 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2337 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2338 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2339
2340 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2341 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2342
2343 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2344 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2345 [Richard Levitte]
2346
2347 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2348 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2349 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2350 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2351 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2352 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2353 [Steve Henson]
2354
2355 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2356 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2357 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2361 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2362 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2363
2364 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2365 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2366 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2367 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2368 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2369 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2370 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2371 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2372
2373 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2374 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2375 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2376 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2377 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2378 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2382 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2383 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2384 declaration has been changed from
2385 int (*cb)()
2386 into
2387 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2388 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2389 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2390 has been changed into
2391 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2392
2393 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2394 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2395 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2396
2397 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2398 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2399
2400 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2401 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2402 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2403 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2404 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2405 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2406 always load it have also been added.
2407 [Steve Henson]
2408
2409 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2410 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2411 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2412
2413 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2414
2415 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2416 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2417 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2418
2419 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2420 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2421 command line option can be used to specify an
2422 alternative file.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2426 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2427 [Steve Henson]
2428
2429 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2430 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2431 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2432 [Steve Henson]
2433
2434 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2435 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2436 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2437 to work with the new engine framework.
2438 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2439
2440 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2441 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2442 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2443 to work with the new engine framework.
2444 [Richard Levitte]
2445
2446 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2447 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2448 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2449
2450 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2451 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2452
2453 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2454 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2455 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2456 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2457 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2458 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2459
2460 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2461 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2462
2463 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2464 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2465
2466 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2467 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2468 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2469 [Ben Laurie]
2470
2471 *) Add new functions
2472 ERR_peek_last_error
2473 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2474 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2475 These are similar to
2476 ERR_peek_error
2477 ERR_peek_error_line
2478 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2479 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2480 still in the error queue.
2481 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2482
2483 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2484 like:
2485 default_algorithms = ALL
2486 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2487 [Steve Henson]
2488
2489 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2490 [Steve Henson]
2491
2492 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2493 [Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2496 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2497 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2498 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2499
2500 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2501 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2502
2503 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2504 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2505
2506 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2507 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2508 [Bodo Moeller]
2509
2510 *) New functions/macros
2511
2512 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2513 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2514 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2515 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2516
2517 to request calling a callback function
2518
2519 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2520 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2521
2522 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2523 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2524 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2525 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2526 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2527 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2528 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2529 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2530 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2531 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2532
2533 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2534 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2535 [Bodo Moeller]
2536
2537 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2538 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2539 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2540 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2541 the configuration scripts.
2542
2543 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2544 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2545 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2546
2547 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2548 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2549
2550 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2551 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2552 when reusing an existing buffer.
2553 [Bodo Moeller]
2554
2555 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2556 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2557 [Steve Henson]
2558
2559 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2560 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2561 [Ben Laurie]
2562
2563 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2564 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2565 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2566 has the same effect.
2567 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2568
2569 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2570 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2571 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2572 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2573 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2574 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2575 exception.
2576
2577 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2578 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2579 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2580 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2581
2582 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2583 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2584 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2585 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2586
2587 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2588 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2589 won't work.
2590
2591 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2592 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2593 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2594 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2595 default), and then completely removed.
2596 [Richard Levitte]
2597
2598 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2599 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2600 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2601 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2602 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2603 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2604 particular extension is supported.
2605 [Steve Henson]
2606
2607 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2608 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2609 [Steve Henson]
2610
2611 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2612 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2613 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2614 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2615 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2616 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2617 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2618 requires the destination to be valid.
2619
2620 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2621 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2622 [Steve Henson]
2623
2624 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2625 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2626 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2627 [Bodo Moeller]
2628
2629 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2630 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2631
2632 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2633 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2634 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2635 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2636 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2637 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2638 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2639 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2640 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2641 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2642 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2643 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2644 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2645 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2646 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2647 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2648 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2649 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2650 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2651 the new code.
2652 [Geoff Thorpe]
2653
2654 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2655 [Steve Henson]
2656
2657 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2658 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2659 become part of libeay.num as well.
2660 [Richard Levitte]
2661
2662 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2663 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2664 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2665 false once a handshake has been completed.
2666 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2667 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2668 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2669 client has followed the request.)
2670 [Bodo Moeller]
2671
2672 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2673 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2674 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2675 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2676
2677 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2678 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2679 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2680 [Bodo Moeller]
2681
2682 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2683 [Steve Henson]
2684
2685 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2686 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2687 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2688 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2689
2690 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2691 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2692 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2693
2694 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2695 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2696 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2697 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2698 [Geoff Thorpe]
2699
2700 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2701 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2702 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2703 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2704 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2705 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2706 [Geoff Thorpe]
2707
2708 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2709 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2710 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2711 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2712 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2713 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2714 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2715 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2716 [Geoff Thorpe]
2717
2718 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2719 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2720 [Geoff Thorpe]
2721
2722 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2723 [Ben Laurie]
2724
2725 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2726 md_data void pointer.
2727 [Ben Laurie]
2728
2729 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2730 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2731 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2732 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2733 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2734 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2735 [Ben Laurie]
2736
2737 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2738 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2739 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2740 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2741 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2742 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2743 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2744 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2745 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2746 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2747 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2748 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2749 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2750 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2751 rather than letting it slide.
2752
2753 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2754 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2755 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2756 [Geoff Thorpe]
2757
2758 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2759 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2760 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2761 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2762 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2763 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2764 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2765 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2766 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2767 [Geoff Thorpe]
2768
2769 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2770 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2771 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2772 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2773 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2774
2775 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2776 [Geoff Thorpe]
2777
2778 *) Add EVP test program.
2779 [Ben Laurie]
2780
2781 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2782 [Ben Laurie]
2783
2784 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2785 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2786 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2787 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2788 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2789 [Steve Henson]
2790
2791 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2792 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2793 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2794 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2795 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2796 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2797 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2798
2799 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2800 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2801 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2802 Usage example:
2803
2804 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2805
2806 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2807 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2808 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2809 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2810 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2811
2812 [Ben Laurie]
2813
2814 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2815 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2816 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2817 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2818 anyway): E.g.,
2819
2820 des_key_schedule ks;
2821
2822 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2823 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2824
2825 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2826 [Ben Laurie]
2827
2828 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2829 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2830 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2831 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2832 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2833 functions prevents this.
2834 [Steve Henson]
2835
2836 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2837 [Ben Laurie]
2838
2839 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2840 correct _ecb suffix.
2841 [Ben Laurie]
2842
2843 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2844 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2845 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2846 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2847 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2848 [Steve Henson]
2849
2850 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2851 [Richard Levitte]
2852
2853 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2854 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2855 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2856 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2857
2858 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2859 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2860
2861 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2862 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2863 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2864 via Richard Levitte]
2865
2866 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2867 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2868 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2869 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2870 [Geoff Thorpe]
2871
2872 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2873 Before:
2874 encrypt
2875 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

2888 [Ben Laurie]
2889
2890 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2891 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2892
2893 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2894 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2895 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2896 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2897 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2898 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2902 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2903 [Richard Levitte]
2904
2905 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2906 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2907 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2908 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2909
2910 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2911 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2912 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2913 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2914 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2915 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2916 callback.
2917 [Richard Levitte]
2918
2919 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2920 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2921 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2922 and interrupts/cancellations.
2923 [Richard Levitte]
2924
2925 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2926 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2927 [Steve Henson]
2928
2929 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2930 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2931 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2932
2933 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2934 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2935 kind of callback.
2936 [Richard Levitte]
2937
2938 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2939 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2940 than this minimum value is recommended.
2941 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2942
2943 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2944 that are easily reachable.
2945 [Richard Levitte]
2946
2947 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2948 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2949
2950 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2951
2952 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2953 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2954 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2955 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2959 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2960 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2964 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2965 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2966 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2967 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2968 internally such as S/MIME.
2969
2970 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2971 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2972 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2973
2974 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2975 applications.
2976 [Steve Henson]
2977
2978 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2979 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2980 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2981 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2982
2983 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2984
2985 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2986
2987 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2988 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2989 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2990 handling.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2994 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2995 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2996 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2997 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2998 a window system and the like.
2999 [Richard Levitte]
3000
3001 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3002 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3003 [Geoff]
3004
3005 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3006 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3007 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3008 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3009 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3010 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3011 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3012 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3013 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3014 ENGINE structure.
3015 [Geoff]
3016
3017 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3018 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3019 tag cache.
3020 [Steve Henson]
3021
3022 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3023 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3024 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3025 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3026 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3027 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3028 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3029 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3030 [Geoff]
3031
3032 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3033 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3034 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3035 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3036 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3037 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3038 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3039 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3040 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3041 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3042 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3043 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3044 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3045 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3046 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3047 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3048 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3049 [Geoff]
3050
3051 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3052 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3053 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3054 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3055 internal engine_int.h header.
3056 [Geoff]
3057
3058 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3059 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3060 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3061 modify their own ones).
3062 [Geoff]
3063
3064 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3065 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3066 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3067 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3068 later on via ctrl() commands.
3069 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3070 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3071 structural references.
3072 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3073 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3074 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3075 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3076 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3077 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3078 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3079 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3080 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3081 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3082 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3083 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3084 [Geoff]
3085
3086 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3087 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3088 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3089 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3090 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3091 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3092 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3093 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3094 [Bodo Moeller]
3095
3096 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3097 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3101 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3105 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3106 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3107 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3108 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3109 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3110 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3114 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3115 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3116 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3117 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3118
3119 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3120 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3121 generator).
3122 [Bodo Moeller]
3123
3124 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3125
3126 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3127 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3128 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3129
3130 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3131 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3132
3133 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3134 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3135 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3136
3137 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3138 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3139
3140 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3141 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3142
3143 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3144
3145 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3146 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3147 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3148 [Bodo Moeller]
3149
3150 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3151 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3152 [Richard Levitte]
3153
3154 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3155 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3156 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3157 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3158 is 40 of more characters long.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3162 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3163 pointers.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3167 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3168 [Bodo Moeller]
3169
3170 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3171 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3172 might.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3176
3177 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3178 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3179
3180 ASN1 error codes
3181 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3182 ...
3183 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3184 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3185 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3186 ...
3187 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3188 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3189
3190 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3191 [Bodo Moeller]
3192
3193 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3194 suffices.
3195 [Bodo Moeller]
3196
3197 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3198 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3199 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3200 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3201 and
3202 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3203
3204 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3205 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3206
3207 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3208 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3209 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3210 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3211 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3212 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3213
3214 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3215 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3216
3217 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3218 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3219
3220 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3221 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3222
3223 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3224 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3225 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3226 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3227
3228 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3229 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3230
3231 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3232 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3233
3234 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3235 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3236 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3237 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3238 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3239 [Richard Levitte]
3240
3241 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3242 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3243 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3244 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3248 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3249 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3250 trust settings.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3254 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3255 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3256 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3257 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3258 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3259 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3260 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3261 ocsp utility.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3265 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3266 [Steve Henson]
3267
3268 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3269 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3270 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3271 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3272 [Steve Henson]
3273
3274 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3275 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3276 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3277 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3278 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3279 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3280 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3281 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3282 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3283 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3287 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3288 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3289 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3290 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3291 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3292 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3293 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3294
3295 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3296 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3297 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3298 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3299 [Richard Levitte]
3300
3301 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3302 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3303 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3304 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3305 opensslconf.h.
3306 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3307 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3308 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3309 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3310 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3311 what is available.
3312 [Richard Levitte]
3313
3314 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3315 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3316 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3317 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3318 auto incremented.
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3322 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3323 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3327 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3328 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3329 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3330 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3334 [Steve Henson]
3335
3336 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3337 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3338 option to ocsp utility.
3339 [Steve Henson]
3340
3341 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3342 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3343 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3344 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3345 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3346 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3347 the request is nonce-less.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3351 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3352 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3353 [Bodo Moeller]
3354
3355 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3356 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3357 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3361 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3362 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3363 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3364 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3365 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3366
3367 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3368 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3369 appear to exist.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3373 additional certificates supplied.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3377 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3378 signature against.
3379 [Richard Levitte]
3380
3381 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3382 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3383 AES OIDs.
3384
3385 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3386 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3387 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3388 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3389 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3390 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3391 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3392 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3393 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3394
3395 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3396 request to response.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3400 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3401 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3402 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3403 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3404 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3405 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3406 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3407 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3408 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3409 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3410 [Steve Henson]
3411
3412 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3413 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3414 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3415 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3416 [Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3419 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3420
3421 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3422 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3423 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3424 [Steve Henson]
3425
3426 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3427 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3428 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3429 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3430 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3431
3432 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3433 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3434 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3435 [Steve Henson]
3436
3437 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3438 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3439 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3440 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3441 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3442 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3443 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3444 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3445
3446 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3447 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3448 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3449 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3450 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3451 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3452 [Steve Henson]
3453
3454 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3455 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3456 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3457 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3458 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3459 printout format cleaned up.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3463 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3464 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3465 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3466 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3467 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3468 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3469 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3473 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3474 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3475 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3476 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3477 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3478 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3479 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3480 [Steve Henson]
3481
3482 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3483 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3484 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3485 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3486 section to use.
3487 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3488
3489 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3490 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3491 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3492 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3493 [Steve Henson]
3494
3495 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3496 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3497 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3498 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3499 in the index file.
3500 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3501
3502 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3503 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3504 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3505 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3506
3507 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3508 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3509
3510 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3511 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3512 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3513 [Steve Henson]
3514
3515 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3516 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3517 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3518 [Bodo Moeller]
3519
3520 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3521 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3522 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3523 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3524 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3525 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3526 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3527 functions are provided:
3528
3529 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3530 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3531 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3532 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3533
3534 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3535 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3536 extended allocation function is enabled.
3537 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3538 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3539 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3540
3541 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3542 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3543 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3544 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3545 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3546 [Geoff Thorpe]
3547
3548 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3549 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3550 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3551 be queried.
3552 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3553 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3554 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3555 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3556
3557 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3558 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3559 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3560 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3561 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3562 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3563 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3564 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3565 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3566 [Richard Levitte]
3567
3568 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3569 provide utility functions which an application needing
3570 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3571 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3572 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3573
3574 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3575 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3576 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3577 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3578 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3579 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3580 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3581 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3582 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3583
3584 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3585 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3586 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3587 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3591 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3592 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3593 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3594 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3595 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3596 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3597 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3598 will be added elsewhere.
3599 [Steve Henson]
3600
3601 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3602 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3603 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3604 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3608 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3609 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3610 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3611 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3612 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3613 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3614 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3615 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3616 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3617 to produce the required SET OF.
3618 [Steve Henson]
3619
3620 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3621 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3622 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3623 [Richard Levitte]
3624
3625 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3626 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3627 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3628 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3629 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3630 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3631 [Steve Henson]
3632
3633 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3634 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3635 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3636 [Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3639 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3640 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3641 [Richard Levitte]
3642
3643 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3644 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3645 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3646 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3647 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3651 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3655 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3656 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3657 certifcates and CRLs.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3661 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3662 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3666 entries for variables.
3667 [Steve Henson]
3668
3669 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3670 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3671 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3672 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3673 [Bodo Moeller]
3674
3675 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3676 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3677 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3678 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3679 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3680 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3681 [Bodo Moeller]
3682
3683 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3684 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3685
3686 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3687 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3688 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3689 [Steve Henson]
3690
3691 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3692 print routines.
3693 [Steve Henson]
3694
3695 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3696 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3697 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3698 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3699 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3700 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3701 [Steve Henson]
3702
3703 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3704 [Steve Henson]
3705
3706 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3707 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3708 for now but they will eventually go away.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3712 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3713 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3714 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3715 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3716 has also been converted to the new form.
3717 [Steve Henson]
3718
3719 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3720 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3721 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3722 for negative moduli.
3723 [Bodo Moeller]
3724
3725 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3726 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3727 [Bodo Moeller]
3728
3729 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3730 set.
3731 [Bodo Moeller]
3732
3733 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3734 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3735 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3736 type-specific callbacks.
3737 [Geoff Thorpe]
3738
3739 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3740 RFC 2712.
3741 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3742 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3743
3744 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3745 in sections depending on the subject.
3746 [Richard Levitte]
3747
3748 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3749 Windows.
3750 [Richard Levitte]
3751
3752 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3753 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3754 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3755 be handled deterministically).
3756 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3757
3758 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3759 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3760 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3761 [Bodo Moeller]
3762
3763 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3764 [Bodo Moeller]
3765
3766 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3767 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3768 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3769 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3770 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3771 [Bodo Moeller]
3772
3773 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3774 sign of the number in question.
3775
3776 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3777
3778 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3779 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3780 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3781 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3782 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3783 [Bodo Moeller]
3784
3785 *) New function BN_swap.
3786 [Bodo Moeller]
3787
3788 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3789 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3790 results on negative inputs.
3791 [Bodo Moeller]
3792
3793 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3794 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3795 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3796 [Bodo Moeller]
3797
3798 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3799 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3800 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3801 and add new functions:
3802
3803 BN_nnmod
3804 BN_mod_sqr
3805 BN_mod_add
3806 BN_mod_add_quick
3807 BN_mod_sub
3808 BN_mod_sub_quick
3809 BN_mod_lshift1
3810 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3811 BN_mod_lshift
3812 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3813
3814 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3815
3816 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3817 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3818
3819 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3820 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3821 be reduced modulo m.
3822 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3823
3824 #if 0
3825 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3826 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3827 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3828
3829 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3830 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3831 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3832 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3833 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3834 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3835 differing sizes.
3836 [Richard Levitte]
3837 #endif
3838
3839 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3840 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3841 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3842 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3843 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3844
3845 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3846 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3847 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3848 cause any problems.
3849 [Bodo Moeller]
3850
3851 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3852 [Richard Levitte]
3853
3854 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3855 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3856 [Richard Levitte]
3857
3858 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3859 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3860 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3861 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3862 time)
3863 [Richard Levitte]
3864
3865 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3866 [Richard Levitte]
3867
3868 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3869 [Richard Levitte]
3870
3871 *) Add the following functions:
3872
3873 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3874 ENGINE_load_chil()
3875 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3876 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3877 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3878
3879 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3880 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3881 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3882 libraries unless it's really needed.
3883
3884 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3885 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3886 declarations (they differed!).
3887 [Richard Levitte]
3888
3889 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3890 [Richard Levitte]
3891
3892 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3893 [Richard Levitte]
3894
3895 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3896 [Bodo Moeller]
3897
3898 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3899 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3900 [Richard Levitte]
3901
3902 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3903 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3904 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3905
3906 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3907 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3908 [Richard Levitte]
3909
3910 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3911 [Richard Levitte]
3912
3913 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3914 [Richard Levitte]
3915
3916 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3917 [Ben Laurie]
3918
3919 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3920 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3921 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3922
3923 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3924 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3925 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3926 different shared library filenames on each system.
3927 [Geoff Thorpe]
3928
3929 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3930 [Richard Levitte]
3931
3932 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3933 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3934 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3935 of two sections.
3936 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3937
3938 *) NCONF changes.
3939 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3940 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3941 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3942 binary backward compatibility.
3943 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3944 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3945 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3946 LDAP server.
3947 [Richard Levitte]
3948
3949 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3950 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3951 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3952 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3953 this case.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955
3956 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3957 [Ben Laurie]
3958
3959 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3960 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3961 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3962 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3963 set.
3964 [Steve Henson]
3965
3966 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3967 [Richard Levitte]
3968
3969 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3970
3971 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3972 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3973 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3974
3975 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3976
3977 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3978
3979 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3980 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3981 [Steve Henson]
3982
3983 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3984
3985 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3986
3987 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3988 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3989
3990 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3991 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3992
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3996 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3997 specifications.
3998 [Steve Henson]
3999
4000 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4001 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4002 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4003 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4004
4005 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4006 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4007 [Richard Levitte]
4008
4009 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4010
4011 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4012 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4013 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4014 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4015 [Bodo Moeller]
4016
4017 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4018 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4019 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4020 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4021 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4022
4023 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4024 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4025 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4026 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4027 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4028 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4029 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4030 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4031 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4032 [Bodo Moeller]
4033
4034 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4035
4036 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4037 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4038 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4039 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4040 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4041
4042 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4043 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4044 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4045
4046 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4047
4048 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4049 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4050 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4051 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4052 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4053 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4054 [Geoff Thorpe]
4055
4056 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4057 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4058 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4059 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4060 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4061 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4062
4063 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4064 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4065 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4066
4067 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4068 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4069 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4070 EVP_cleanup().
4071 [Richard Levitte]
4072
4073 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4074 being properly terminated.
4075 [Richard Levitte]
4076
4077 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4078 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4079 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4080 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4081
4082 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4083 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4084 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4085 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4086 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4087 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4088 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4089 change.
4090 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4091
4092 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4093 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4094 [Bodo Moeller]
4095
4096 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4097 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4098 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4099 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4100 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4101 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4102 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4103 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4104
4105 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4106 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4107 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4108 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4109 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4110
4111 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4112 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4113 [Steve Henson]
4114
4115 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4116
4117 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4118 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4119 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4120
4121 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4122
4123 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4124 and get fix the header length calculation.
4125 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4126 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4127 Steve Henson]
4128
4129 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4130 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4131 assertions could call abort()).
4132 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4133
4134 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4135
4136 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4137 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4138 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4139 supplied buffer.
4140 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4141
4142 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4143 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4144 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4145 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4146
4147 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4148 [Nils Larsch]
4149
4150 *) New option
4151 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4152 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4153 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4154
4155 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4156 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4157 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4158 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4159 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4160 applications.
4161 [Bodo Moeller]
4162
4163 *) Changes in security patch:
4164
4165 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4166 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4167 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4168 F30602-01-2-0537.
4169
4170 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4171 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4172 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4173 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4174 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4175
4176 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4177 happen in practice.
4178 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4179
4180 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4181 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4182 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4183
4184 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4185 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4187
4188 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4189 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4190 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4191
4192 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4193
4194 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4195 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4196 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4197
4198 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4199 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4200
4201 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4202 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4203 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4204 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4205 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4206 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4207 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4208
4209 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4210 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4211 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4212 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4213 [Bodo Moeller]
4214
4215 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4216 [Bodo Moeller]
4217
4218 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4219 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4220 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4221 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4222 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4223 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4224
4225 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4226 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4227 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4228 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4229 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4231
4232 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4233 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4234 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4235 BN_generate_prime().)
4236
4237 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4238 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4239 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4240 better.
4241 [Bodo Moeller]
4242
4243 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4244 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4245 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4246
4247 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4248 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4249 when using non-blocking I/O.
4250 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4251
4252 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4253 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4254
4255 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4256 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4257 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4258
4259 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4260 configuration for the versions before that.
4261 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4262
4263 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4264 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4265 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4266 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4267 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4268
4269 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4270 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4271 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4272 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4273
4274 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4275 value is 0.
4276 [Richard Levitte]
4277
4278 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4279 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4280 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4281
4282 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4283 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4284
4285 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4286 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4287 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4288 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4289 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4290 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4291 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4292 session cache.
4293
4294 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4295 using a local variable.
4296 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4297
4298 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4299 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4300 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4301
4302 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4303 [Richard Levitte]
4304
4305 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4306 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4307
4308 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4309 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4310 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4311
4312 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4313
4314 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4315 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4316 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4317 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4318 [Bodo Moeller]
4319
4320 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4321 present.
4322 [Steve Henson]
4323
4324 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4325 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4326 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4327 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4328 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4329
4330 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4331 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4332 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4333
4334 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4335 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4336 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4337
4338 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4339 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4340 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4341 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4342
4343 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4344 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4345 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4346 modules).
4347 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4348
4349 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4350 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4351 from 0.9.7.
4352 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4353
4354 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4355 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4356 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4357 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4358
4359 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4360 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4361 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4362 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4363
4364 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4365 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4366
4367 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4368 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4369 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4370 [Bodo Moeller]
4371
4372 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4373 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4374 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4375 become invalid.
4376 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4377
4378 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4379 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4380 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4381 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4382 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4383 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4384 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4385 [Bodo Moeller]
4386
4387 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4388 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4389 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4390 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4391
4392 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4393 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4394 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4395 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4396 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4397 the client will at least see that alert.
4398 [Bodo Moeller]
4399
4400 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4401 correctly.
4402 [Bodo Moeller]
4403
4404 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4405 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4406 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4407
4408 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4409 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4410 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4411 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4412 HelloRequest.
4413
4414 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4415 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4416 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4417
4418 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4419 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4420 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4421 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4422 may leak via logfiles.)
4423
4424 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4425 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4426 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4427 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4428 the legal range.
4429 [Bodo Moeller]
4430
4431 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4432 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4433 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4434
4435 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4436 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4437 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4438 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4439 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4440 [Bodo Moeller]
4441
4442 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4443 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4444
4445 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4446 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4447 followed by modular reduction.
4448 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4449
4450 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4451 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4452 [Bodo Moeller]
4453
4454 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4455 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4456 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4457 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4458 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4459
4460 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4461 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4462
4463 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4464 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4465 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4466
4467 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4468 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4469 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4470 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4471 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4472 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4473 automatically.
4474 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4475
4476 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4477 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4478 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4479 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4480 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4481
4482 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4483 [Andy Polyakov]
4484
4485 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4486 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4487 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4488 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4489 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4490 to allow the necessary settings.
4491 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4492
4493 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4494 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4495 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4496 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4497 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4498
4499 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4500 dh->length and always used
4501
4502 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4503
4504 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4505 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4506 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4507 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4508 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4509 dh->length.
4510
4511 So switch back to
4512
4513 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4514
4515 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4516 otherwise.
4517 [Bodo Moeller]
4518
4519 *) In
4520
4521 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4522 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4523 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4524 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4525
4526 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4527 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4528 always reject numbers >= n.
4529 [Bodo Moeller]
4530
4531 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4532 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4533 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4534 variable) is not atomic.
4535 [Bodo Moeller]
4536
4537 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4538 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4539 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4540 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4541
4542 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4543 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4544
4545 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4546 little-endian MIPS.
4547 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4548
4549 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4550 [Richard Levitte]
4551
4552 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4553
4554 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4555 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4556 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4557 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4558 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4559 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4560 to traverse all of 'state'.
4561
4562 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4563 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4564 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4565
4566 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4567 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4568
4569 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4570 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4571 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4572 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4573 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4574 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4575 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4576 further strengthens the PRNG.
4577 [Bodo Moeller]
4578
4579 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4580 [Andy Polyakov]
4581
4582 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4583 an error message in this case.
4584 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4585
4586 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4587 [Steve Henson]
4588
4589 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4590 positive and less than q.
4591 [Bodo Moeller]
4592
4593 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4594 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4595 that itself.
4596 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4597
4598 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4599 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4600 [Bodo Moeller]
4601
4602 *) Fix OAEP check.
4603 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4604
4605 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4606 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4607 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4608 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4609 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4610 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4611 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4612 paper.)
4613
4614 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4615 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4616 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4617 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4618
4619 Both problems are now fixed.
4620 [Bodo Moeller]
4621
4622 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4623 (previously it was 1024).
4624 [Bodo Moeller]
4625
4626 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4627 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4628 [Steve Henson]
4629
4630 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4631 [Steve Henson]
4632
4633 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4634 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4635 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4636 [Steve Henson]
4637
4638 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4639 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4640 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4641 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4642 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4643 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4644 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4645 environment variables.
4646
4647 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4648 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4649 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4650 [Bodo Moeller]
4651
4652 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4653 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4654 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4655 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4656 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4657 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4658 [Bodo Moeller]
4659
4660 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4661 versions of 'test'.
4662 [Bodo Moeller]
4663
4664 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4665
4666 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4667 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4668
4669 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4670 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4671 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4672 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4673 CygWin.
4674 [Richard Levitte]
4675
4676 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4677 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4678 amount of data available.
4679 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4680 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4681
4682 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4683 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4684 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4685 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4686 [Bodo Moeller]
4687
4688 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4689 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4690 and UnixWare.
4691 [Richard Levitte]
4692
4693 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4694 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4695 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4696 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4697 [Ulf Moeller]
4698
4699 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4700 [Andy Polyakov]
4701
4702 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4703 [Richard Levitte]
4704
4705 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4706 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4707 [Steve Henson]
4708 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4709
4710 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4711 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4712 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4713 (but broken) behaviour.
4714 [Steve Henson]
4715
4716 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4717 it when found.
4718 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4719
4720 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4721 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4722 [Bodo Moeller]
4723
4724 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4725 did not exist.
4726 [Bodo Moeller]
4727
4728 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4729 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4730
4731 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4732 [Richard Levitte]
4733
4734 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4735 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4736 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4737
4738 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4739 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4740 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4741 [Steve Henson]
4742
4743 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4744 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4745 [Ulf Moeller]
4746
4747 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4748 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4749
4750 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4751
4752 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4753
4754 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4755 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4756 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4757 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4758 [Bodo Moeller]
4759
4760 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4761 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4762
4763 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4764 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4765 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4766
4767 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4768 was empty.
4769 [Steve Henson]
4770 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4771
4772 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4773 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4774 but the code is actually correct.
4775 [Steve Henson]
4776
4777 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4778 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4779 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4780 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4781 and leaves the highest bit random.
4782 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4783
4784 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4785 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4786 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4787 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4788 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4789 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4790 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4791 [Bodo Moeller]
4792
4793 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4794 [Ulf Moeller]
4795
4796 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4797 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4798 [Steve Henson]
4799
4800 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4801 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4802 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4803 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4804 headers.
4805 [Richard Levitte]
4806
4807 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4808 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4809 and break the signature.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4812
4813 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4814 DH ciphersuites.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4818 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4819 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4820 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4821 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4822 [Bodo Moeller]
4823
4824 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4825 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4826
4827 *) ./config script fixes.
4828 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4829
4830 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4831 [Bodo Moeller]
4832
4833 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4834 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4835 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4836 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4837 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4838
4839 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4840 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4841 [Bodo Moeller]
4842
4843 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4844 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4848 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4849 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4850 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4851
4852 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4853 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4854
4855 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4856 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4857 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4858 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4859 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4860
4861 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4862 [Bodo Moeller]
4863
4864 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4865 [Ulf Möller]
4866
4867 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4868 [Ulf Möller]
4869
4870 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4871 [Bodo Moeller]
4872
4873 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4874 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4875 [Bodo Moeller]
4876
4877 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4878 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4879 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4880 result of the server certificate verification.)
4881 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4882
4883 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4884 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4885 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4886 [Bodo Moeller]
4887
4888 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4889 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4890 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4891 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4892 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4893 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4894 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4895 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4896 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4897 [Bodo Moeller]
4898
4899 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4900 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4901 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4902 happening the other way round.
4903 [Geoff Thorpe]
4904
4905 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4906 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4907 [Bodo Moeller]
4908
4909 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4910 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4911 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4912 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4913 [Richard Levitte]
4914
4915 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4916 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4917
4918 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4919
4920 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4921 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4922 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4923 that.
4924
4925 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4926
4927 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4928
4929 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4930 static ones.
4931 [Richard Levitte]
4932
4933 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4934
4935 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4936 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4937 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4938 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4939 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4940
4941 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4942 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4943 matter what.
4944 [Richard Levitte]
4945
4946 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4947 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4948
4949 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4950
4951 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4952 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4953 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4954 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4955 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4956 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4957 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4958 by the Finished messages.
4959 [Bodo Moeller]
4960
4961 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4962 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4963
4964 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4965 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4966 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4967 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4968 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4969 appropriately.
4970 [Steve Henson]
4971
4972 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4973 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4974 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4975 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4976 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4977 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4978 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4979 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4980 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4981 together.
4982 [Steve Henson]
4983
4984 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4985 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4986 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4987 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4988
4989 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4990 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4991 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4992 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4993 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4994 the answer.
4995
4996 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4997 been tested well enough.
4998 [Richard Levitte]
4999
5000 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5001 it can return incorrect results.
5002 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5003 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5004 [Bodo Moeller]
5005
5006 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5007 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5008 include zero length content when signing messages.
5009 [Steve Henson]
5010
5011 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5012 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5013 [Bodo Möller]
5014
5015 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5016 [Richard Levitte]
5017
5018 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5019 wrong sign.
5020 [Ulf Möller]
5021
5022 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5023 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5024 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5025 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5026 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5027 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5028 [Richard Levitte]
5029
5030 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5031 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5032
5033 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5034 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5035
5036 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5037 random number < q in the DSA library.
5038 [Ulf Möller]
5039
5040 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5041 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5042 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5043 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5044 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5045 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5046 just makes things more complicated.)
5047 [Bodo Moeller]
5048
5049 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5050 from EGD.
5051 [Ben Laurie]
5052
5053 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5054 work better on such systems.
5055 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5056
5057 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5058 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5059 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5060 [Steve Henson]
5061
5062 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5063 if there was more than one signature.
5064 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5065
5066 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5067 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5068 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5069 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5070 [Richard Levitte]
5071
5072 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5073 rather than always using the current time.
5074 [Steve Henson]
5075
5076 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5077 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5078 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5079 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5080 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5081 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5082
5083 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5084 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5085
5086 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5087
5088 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5089 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5090 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5091 the same hash value.
5092
5093 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5094 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5095 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5096 with X509_STORE internally.
5097
5098 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5099 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5100
5101 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5102 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5103 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5104 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5105 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5106 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5107 entirely (maybe later...).
5108
5109 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5110
5111 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5112 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5113 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5114 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5115 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5116 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5117 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5118 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5119
5120 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5121 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5122
5123 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5124 to customise the verify behaviour.
5125 [Steve Henson]
5126
5127 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5128 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5129 [Steve Henson]
5130
5131 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5132 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5133 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5134 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5135 request is improperly encoded.
5136 [Steve Henson]
5137
5138 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5139 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5140 BIO_write(b, ...).
5141
5142 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5143 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5144
5145 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5146 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5147 words set to zero.)
5148 [Bodo Moeller]
5149
5150 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5151 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5152 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5153 [Bodo Moeller]
5154
5155 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5156 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5157 BIO/fp routines also added.
5158 [Steve Henson]
5159
5160 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5161 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5162
5163 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5164 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5165 demos/state_machine.
5166 [Ben Laurie]
5167
5168 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5169 generation and verification.
5170 [Steve Henson]
5171
5172 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5173 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5174 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5175 encode and decode it manually.
5176 [Steve Henson]
5177
5178 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5179 compile under VC++.
5180 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5181
5182 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5183 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5184 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5185 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5186
5187 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5188 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5189 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5190 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5191 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5192 [Steve Henson]
5193
5194 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5195 [Richard Levitte]
5196
5197 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5198 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5199 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5200
5201 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5202 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5203 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5204 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5205 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5206 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5207 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5208 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5209
5210 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5211 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5212
5213 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5214
5215 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5216 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5217 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5218
5219 [Richard Levitte]
5220
5221 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5222 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5223 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5224 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5225 [Richard Levitte]
5226
5227 *) MD4 implemented.
5228 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5229
5230 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5231 [Richard Levitte]
5232
5233 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5234 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5235 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5236 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5237 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5238 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5239 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5240 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5241 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5242 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5243 short or long names are found.
5244 [Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5247 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5248
5249 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5250 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5251 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5252 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5253
5254 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5255 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5256 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5257 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5258 [Bodo Moeller]
5259
5260 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5261 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5262 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5263 [Richard Levitte]
5264
5265 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5266 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5267 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5268 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5269 to allow the various flags to be set.
5270 [Steve Henson]
5271
5272 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5273 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5274 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5275 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5276 dates to be checked.
5277 [Steve Henson]
5278
5279 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5280 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5281 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5285 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5286 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5287 [Steve Henson]
5288
5289 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5290 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5291 [Bodo Moeller]
5292
5293 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5294 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5295 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5296 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5297 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5298 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5299 [Richard Levitte]
5300
5301 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5302 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5303 Random Numbers.
5304 [Ulf Möller]
5305
5306 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5307 DSA key.
5308 [Steve Henson]
5309
5310 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5311 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5312 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5313 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5314 form signing output easier to verify.
5315 [Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5318 [Steve Henson]
5319
5320 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5321 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5322 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5323 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5324 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5325 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5326 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5327 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5328 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5329 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5330 [Steve Henson]
5331
5332 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5333
5334 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5335 the syntax given in objects.README.
5336 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5337 obj_mac.h.
5338 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5339 obj_mac.h.
5340
5341 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5342 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5343 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5344 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5345 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5346 consistent name changes.
5347 [Richard Levitte]
5348
5349 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5350 [Bodo Moeller]
5351
5352 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5353 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5354 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5355 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5356 [Richard Levitte]
5357
5358 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5359 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5360 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5361 of safestack.h .
5362 [Steve Henson]
5363
5364 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5365 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5366 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5367 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5368 [Steve Henson]
5369
5370 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5371 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5372 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5373 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5374 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5375 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5376 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5377 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5378 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5379 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5380 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5381 [Steve Henson]
5382
5383 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5384 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5385 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5386 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5387 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5388 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5389 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5390 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5391 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5392 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5393 [Steve Henson]
5394
5395 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5396 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5397 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5398 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5399
5400 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5401 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5402 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5403 omit any duplicate addresses.
5404 [Steve Henson]
5405
5406 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5407 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5408 [Bodo Moeller]
5409
5410 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5411 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5412 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5413 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5414 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5415 [Bodo Moeller]
5416
5417 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5418 software:
5419 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5420 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5421 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5422 Free => OPENSSL_free
5423 [Richard Levitte]
5424
5425 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5426 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5427 [Bodo Moeller]
5428
5429 *) CygWin32 support.
5430 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5431
5432 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5433 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5434 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5435 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5436 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5437 approach.
5438 [Geoff Thorpe]
5439
5440 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5441 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5442 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5443 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5444 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5445 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5446 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5447 [Geoff Thorpe]
5448
5449 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5450 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5451 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5452 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5453 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5454 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5455 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5456 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5457 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5458 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5459 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5460 [Bodo Moeller]
5461
5462 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5463 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5464 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5465 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5466 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5467
5468 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5469 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5470 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5471 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5472 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5473
5474 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5475 ciphers.
5476
5477 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5478 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5479 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5480 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5481
5482 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5483
5484 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5485 of macros.
5486
5487 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5488 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5489 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5490 flags.
5491
5492 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5493 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5494 any installed hardware versions can.
5495 [Steve Henson]
5496
5497 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5498 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5499 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5500 number.
5501 [Bodo Moeller]
5502
5503 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5504 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5505 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5506 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5507 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5508
5509 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5510 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5511 [Steve Henson]
5512
5513 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5514 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5515 [Richard Levitte]
5516
5517 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5518 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5519 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5520 features.
5521 [Steve Henson]
5522
5523 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5524 [Ulf Möller]
5525
5526 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5527 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5528 but no ssl client purpose.
5529 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5530
5531 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5532 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5533 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5534 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5535 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5536 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5537 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5538 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5539 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5540 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5541 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5545 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5546 be obtained from the error queue.
5547 [Bodo Moeller]
5548
5549 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5550 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5551 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5552 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5553 [Bodo Moeller]
5554
5555 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5556 [Ulf Möller]
5557
5558 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5559 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5560 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5561 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5562 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5563 [Geoff Thorpe]
5564
5565 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5566 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5567 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5568 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5569 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5570 [Geoff Thorpe]
5571
5572 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5573 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5574 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5575 may not be NULL.
5576 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5577
5578 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5579 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5580 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5581 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5582 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5583 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5584 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5585 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5586 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5587 or "the configuration storage API"...
5588
5589 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5590
5591 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5592 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5593
5594 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5595
5596 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5597
5598 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5599 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5600 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5601 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5602 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5603 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5604 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5605
5606 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5607 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5608 [Richard Levitte]
5609
5610 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5611 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5612 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5613 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5614 [Bodo Moeller]
5615
5616 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5617 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5618 them in a portable way.
5619 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5620
5621 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5622
5623 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5624
5625 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5626 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5627
5628 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5629 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5630 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5631 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5632
5633 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5634 was larger than the MD block size.
5635 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5636
5637 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5638 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5639 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5640 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5641 components.
5642 [Steve Henson]
5643
5644 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5645 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5646 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5647
5648 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5649 discouraged.
5650 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5651
5652 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5653 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5654 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5655 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5656 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5657 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5658
5659 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5660 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5661
5662 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5663 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5664 [Bodo Moeller]
5665
5666 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5667 [Bodo Moeller]
5668
5669 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5670 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5671 its own key.
5672 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5673 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5674 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5675 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5676 [Bodo Moeller]
5677
5678 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5679 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5680 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5681 does not suppress any output.
5682 [Richard Levitte]
5683
5684 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5685 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5686 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5687 with all the associated security issues.
5688
5689 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5690 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5691 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5692 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5693 use the value in the default purpose.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5697 and fix a memory leak.
5698 [Steve Henson]
5699
5700 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5701 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5702 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5703 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5704 [Bodo Moeller]
5705
5706 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5707 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5708 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5709 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5710 [Bodo Moeller]
5711
5712 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5713 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5714 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5715 [Bodo Moeller]
5716
5717 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5718 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5719 [Bodo Moeller]
5720
5721 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5722 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5723 which was free.
5724 [Steve Henson]
5725
5726 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5727 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5728 [Bodo Moeller]
5729
5730 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5731 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5732 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5733 [Bodo Moeller]
5734
5735 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5736 number generation fails.
5737 [Bodo Moeller]
5738
5739 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5740 [Bodo Moeller]
5741
5742 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5743 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5744
5745 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5746 [Ulf Möller]
5747
5748 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5749 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5750
5751 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5752 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5753
5754 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5755
5756 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5757 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5761 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5762
5763 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5764 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5765 [Ulf Möller]
5766
5767 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5768 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5769 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5770 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5771 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5772 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5773
5774 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5775 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5776 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5777 for example.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5781 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5782 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5783 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5784 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5785 counter, some don't.)
5786 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5787 counters or duplicate objects.
5788 [Steve Henson]
5789
5790 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5791 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5792 [Steve Henson]
5793
5794 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5795 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5796 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5797
5798 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5799 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5800 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5801 or -rand.
5802 [Ulf Möller]
5803
5804 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5805 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5806 [Steve Henson]
5807
5808 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5809 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5810 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5811 cipher list.
5812 [Steve Henson]
5813
5814 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5815 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5816 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5817 [Steve Henson]
5818
5819 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5820 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5821 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5822 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5823 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5824 should work without changes.
5825 [Richard Levitte]
5826
5827 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5828 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5829 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5830 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5831 must be defined. E.g.,
5832 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5833 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5834 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5835 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5836
5837 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5838 record layer.
5839 [Bodo Moeller]
5840
5841 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5842 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5843 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5844 [Steve Henson]
5845
5846 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5847 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5848 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5849 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5850 [Steve Henson]
5851
5852 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5853 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5854 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5855 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5856 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5857 is prompted for as usual.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5861 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5862 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5863 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5864
5865 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5866 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5867 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5868 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5872 [Andy Polyakov]
5873
5874 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5875 of seed file.
5876 [Steve Henson]
5877
5878 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5879 [Bodo Moeller]
5880
5881 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5882 [Steve Henson]
5883
5884 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5885 bits.
5886 [Ulf Möller]
5887
5888 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5889 [Ulf Möller]
5890
5891 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5892 [Andy Polyakov]
5893
5894 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5895 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5896 [Ulf Möller]
5897
5898 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5899 options to produce them.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5903 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5904 [Ulf Möller]
5905
5906 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5907 for p == 0.
5908 [Ulf Möller]
5909
5910 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5911 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5912 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5913 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5914 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5915 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5916 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5917 [Steve Henson]
5918
5919 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5920 [Steve Henson]
5921
5922 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5923 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5924 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5925 [Bodo Moeller]
5926
5927 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5928 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5929
5930 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5931 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5932 [Ulf Möller]
5933
5934 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5935 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5936 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5937 has already seen).
5938 [Bodo Moeller]
5939
5940 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5941 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5942
5943 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5944 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5945 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5946 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5947 generation becomes much faster.
5948
5949 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5950 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5951 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5952 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5953 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5954 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5955 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5956 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5957 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5958 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5959 [Bodo Moeller]
5960
5961 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5962 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5963 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5964 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5965 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5966 trial division stage.
5967 [Bodo Moeller]
5968
5969 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5970 as ASN1_TIME.
5971 [Steve Henson]
5972
5973 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5977 [Ulf Möller]
5978
5979 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5980 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5981 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5982 the comments.
5983 [Ulf Möller]
5984
5985 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5986 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5987 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5988 [Bodo Moeller]
5989
5990 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5991 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5992 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5993 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5994
5995 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5996 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5997 [Steve Henson]
5998
5999 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6000 [Ulf Möller]
6001
6002 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6003 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6004 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6005 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6006 [Ulf Möller]
6007
6008 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6009 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6010 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6011 [Ulf Möller]
6012
6013 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6014 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6015 (instead of parameters) in future.
6016 [Steve Henson]
6017
6018 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6019 when a new cipher list is set.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6023 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6024 wrong.
6025
6026 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6027 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6028 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6029
6030 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6031 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6032 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6033 an error is flagged.
6034
6035 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6036 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6037 the readability was also increased :-)
6038 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6039
6040 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6041 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6042 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6043 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6044 as the root CA.
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6048 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6049 [Steve Henson]
6050
6051 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6052 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6053 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6054 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6055 instead.
6056
6057 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6058 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6059 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6060 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6061 because they handle more complex structures.)
6062 [Steve Henson]
6063
6064 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6065 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6066 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6067 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6068
6069 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6070 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6071 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6072 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6073 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6074 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6075 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6076 [Ulf Möller]
6077
6078 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6079 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6080 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6081 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6082 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6083 [Bodo Moeller]
6084
6085 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6086 [Bodo Moeller]
6087
6088 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6089 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6090 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6091 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6092 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6093 to use this.
6094
6095 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6096 code.
6097 [Steve Henson]
6098
6099 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6100 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6101 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6102 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6103 [Steve Henson]
6104
6105 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6106 [Ulf Möller]
6107
6108 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6109 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6110 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6111 international characters are used.
6112
6113 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6114 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6115 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6116 in ASN1 order.
6117 [Steve Henson]
6118
6119 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6120 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6121 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6122 request.
6123
6124 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6125 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6126 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6127 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6128 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6129 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6130
6131 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6132 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6133 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6134 be handled by the string table functions.
6135
6136 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6137 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6138 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6139 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6140 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6141 types at all.
6142 [Steve Henson]
6143
6144 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6145 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6146 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6147 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6148 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6149
6150 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6151 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6152 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6153 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6154 [Bodo Moeller]
6155
6156 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6157 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6158 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6159 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6160 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6161 SHA1.
6162 [Andy Polyakov]
6163
6164 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6165 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6166 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6167 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6168 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6169 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6170 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6171 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6172
6173 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6174 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6175 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6176 [Steve Henson]
6177
6178 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6179 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6180 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6181 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6182 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6183 support to pkcs8 application.
6184 [Steve Henson]
6185
6186 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6187 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6188 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6189 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6190 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6191 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6192 [Bodo Moeller]
6193
6194 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6195 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6196 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6197 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6198 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6199 consistency.
6200 [Bodo Moeller]
6201
6202 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6203 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6204 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6205 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6206 example.
6207 [Steve Henson]
6208
6209 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6210 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6211 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6212 and any application specific purposes.
6213
6214 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6215 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6216 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6217 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6218 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6219 if the certificate is self signed.
6220 [Steve Henson]
6221
6222 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6223 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6227 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6228 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6229 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6233 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6234 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6235 Update documentation.
6236 [Steve Henson]
6237
6238 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6239 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6240 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6241 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6242 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6243 [Steve Henson]
6244
6245 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6246 for details.
6247 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6248
6249 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6250 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6251 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6252 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6253 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6254 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6255 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6256 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6257 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6258 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6259
6260 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6261
6262 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6263 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6264 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6265 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6266 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6267
6268 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6269 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6270 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6271 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6272 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6273 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6274 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6275 request additional information:
6276 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6277 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6278
6279 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6280 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6281 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6282 options.
6283
6284 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6285 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6286
6287 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6288 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6289 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6290
6291 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6292 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6293
6294 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6295 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6296 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6297 algorithm.
6298 [Steve Henson]
6299
6300 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6301 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6302 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6303
6304 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6305 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6306 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6307 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6308 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6309 included in OpenSSL.
6310 [Steve Henson]
6311
6312 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6313 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6314 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6315 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6316 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6317 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6318 [Bodo Moeller]
6319
6320 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6321 PKCS12 structure.
6322 [Steve Henson]
6323
6324 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6325 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6326 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6327 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6328 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6329 structure.
6330 [Steve Henson]
6331
6332 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6333 need initialising.
6334 [Steve Henson]
6335
6336 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6337 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6338 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6339 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6340 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6341 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6342 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6343 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6344 be maintained manually.
6345
6346 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6347 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6348 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6349 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6350 work because people forget to call this function]
6351 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6352 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6353 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6354 [Steve Henson]
6355
6356 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6357 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6358 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6359 should be discouraged from doing it.
6360 [Ben Laurie]
6361
6362 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6363 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6364 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6365 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6366 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6367 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6368 [Steve Henson]
6369
6370 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6371 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6372 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6373
6374 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6375 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6376 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6377
6378 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6379 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6380 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6381 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6382 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6383 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6384
6385 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6386 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6387 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6388
6389 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6390 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6391 and vice versa.
6392
6393 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6394 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6395 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6396 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6400 [Steve Henson]
6401
6402 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6403 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6404 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6405 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6406 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6407 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6408 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6409 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6410 keys so we should be OK.
6411
6412 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6413 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6414 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6415 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6416 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6417 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6418 stay in the name of compatibility.
6419
6420 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6421 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6422 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6423
6424 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6425 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6426 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6427 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6428 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6429 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6430 supplied key).
6431 [Steve Henson]
6432
6433 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6434 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6435 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6436 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6437 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6438 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6439 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6440 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6441 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6442 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6443 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6444 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6445 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6446 [Steve Henson]
6447
6448 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6449 [Steve Henson]
6450
6451 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6452 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6453 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6454 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6455 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6456 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6457 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6458 openssl verify ss.pem
6459 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6460 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6461 is OK.
6462 [Steve Henson]
6463
6464 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6465 (and add it to external session representation).
6466 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6467 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6468 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6469 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6470 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6471 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6472 security holes.
6473 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6474
6475 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6476 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6477 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6478 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6479
6480 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6481 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6482 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6483 [Steve Henson]
6484
6485 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6486 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6487 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6488 code.
6489 [Steve Henson]
6490
6491 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6492 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6493 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6494
6495 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6496 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6497 certificate auxiliary information.
6498 [Steve Henson]
6499
6500 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6501 the 'enc' command.
6502 [Steve Henson]
6503
6504 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6505 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6506 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6507 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6508 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6509 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6510 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6511 [Richard Levitte]
6512
6513 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6514 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6515 [Steve Henson]
6516
6517 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6518 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6519 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6520 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6521 [Steve Henson]
6522
6523 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6524 [Steve Henson]
6525
6526 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6527 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6528 [Steve Henson]
6529
6530 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6531 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6532 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6533 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6534 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6535 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6536 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6537 using the new 'x509' options.
6538
6539 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6540 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6541 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6542 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6543 for all purposes.
6544 [Steve Henson]
6545
6546 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6547 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6548 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6549 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6550 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6551 [Mark Cox]
6552
6553 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6554 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6555 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6556 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6557 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6558 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6559 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6560 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6561 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6562 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6563 [Steve Henson]
6564
6565 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6566 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6567 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6568 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6569 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6570 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6571 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6572 [Steve Henson]
6573
6574 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6575 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6576 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6577 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6578 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6579 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6580 openssl.cnf for more info.
6581 [Steve Henson]
6582
6583 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6584 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6585 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6586 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6587 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6588 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6589 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6590 md should be large enough anyway.
6591 [Bodo Moeller]
6592
6593 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6594 for handling the random seed file.
6595
6596 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6597 ca,
6598 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6599 s_client,
6600 s_server,
6601 x509 (when signing).
6602 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6603 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6604 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6605
6606 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6607 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6608 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6609 that support '-rand'.
6610 [Bodo Moeller]
6611
6612 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6613 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6614 [Bodo Moeller]
6615
6616 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6617 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6618 [Bill Perry]
6619
6620 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6621 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6622 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6623 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6624 is suitable.
6625 [Steve Henson]
6626
6627 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6628 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6629 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6630 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6631 [Steve Henson]
6632
6633 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6634 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6635 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6636 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6637 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6638 print out all the purposes.
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6642 functions.
6643 [Steve Henson]
6644
6645 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6646 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6647 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6648 single function call.
6649 [Steve Henson]
6650
6651 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6652 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6653 [Andy Polyakov]
6654
6655 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6656 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6657 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6658 [Steve Henson]
6659
6660 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6661 when producing the local key id.
6662 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6663
6664 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6665 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6666 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6667 "server.pem".
6668 [Steve Henson]
6669
6670 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6671 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6672 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6673 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6674 [Steve Henson]
6675
6676 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6677 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6678 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6679 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6680
6681 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6682 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6683 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6684 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6685
6686 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6687 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6688 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6689 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6690 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6691 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6692 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6693 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6694 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6695 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6696 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6697 trivial: move one line.
6698 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6699
6700 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6701 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6702 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6703 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6704 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6705 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6706 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6707 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6708 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6709 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6710 with an event loop for example.
6711 [Steve Henson]
6712
6713 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6714 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6715 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6716 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6717 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6718 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6719 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6720 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6721 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6722 [Steve Henson]
6723
6724 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6725 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6726 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6727 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6728 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6729 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6733 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6734 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6735 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6736
6737 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6738 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6739 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6740 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6741 key generation.
6742 [Steve Henson]
6743
6744 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6745 (still largely untested)
6746 [Bodo Moeller]
6747
6748 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6749 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6750 [Steve Henson]
6751
6752 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6753 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6754 [Steve Henson]
6755
6756 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6757 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6758 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6759 [Bodo Moeller]
6760
6761 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6762 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6763 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6764 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6765 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6766 [Steve Henson]
6767
6768 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6769 [Andy Polyakov]
6770
6771 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6772 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6773 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6774 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6775 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6776 in ca.
6777 [Steve Henson]
6778
6779 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6780 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6781 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6782 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6783 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6784 [Steve Henson]
6785
6786 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6787 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6788 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6789 are otherwise ignored at present.
6790 [Steve Henson]
6791
6792 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6793 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6794 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6795 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6796 copied until the next read.
6797 [Steve Henson]
6798
6799 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6800 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6801 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6802 [Steve Henson]
6803
6804 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6805 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6806 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6807 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6808 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6809 associated functions.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6813 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6814 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6815 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6816 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6817 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6818 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6819 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6820 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6821 memory BIOs.
6822 [Steve Henson]
6823
6824 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6825 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6826 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6827 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6828 [Bodo Moeller]
6829
6830 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6831 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6832 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6833 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6834 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6835 functionality.
6836 [Steve Henson]
6837
6838 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6839 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6840 under Win32.
6841 [Steve Henson]
6842
6843 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6844 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6845 extensions to be obtained and added.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847
6848 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6849 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6850 [Bodo Moeller]
6851
6852 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6853
6854 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6855 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6856
6857 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6858 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6859
6860 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6861 program.
6862 [Steve Henson]
6863
6864 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6865 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6866 DH parameters contain its length).
6867
6868 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6869 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6870 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6871 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6872 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6873 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6874 utter importance to use
6875 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6876 or
6877 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6878 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6879 attacks may become possible!
6880 [Bodo Moeller]
6881
6882 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6883 [Bodo Moeller]
6884
6885 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6886 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6887 [Steve Henson]
6888
6889 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6890 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6891 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6892 or long name.
6893 [Steve Henson]
6894
6895 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6896 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6897 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6898 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6899 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6900 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6901 private key operations.
6902 [Steve Henson]
6903
6904 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6905 [Andy Polyakov]
6906
6907 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6908 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6909 to
6910 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6911 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6912 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6913 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6914 the password callback is called.
6915 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6916
6917 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6918
6919 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6920 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6921 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6922 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6923 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6924 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6925 this will work.
6926
6927 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6928 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6929 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6930 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6931 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6932 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6933 [Bodo Moeller]
6934
6935 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6936 [Andy Polyakov]
6937
6938 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6939 delete an unused file.
6940 [Ulf Möller]
6941
6942 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6943 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6944 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6945 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6946 [Steve Henson]
6947
6948 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6949 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6950 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6951 of an error.
6952 [Bodo Moeller]
6953
6954 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6955 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6956 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6957
6958 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6959 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6960 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6961 comparison" warnings.
6962 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6963 [Steve Henson]
6964
6965 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6966 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6967 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6968 [Steve Henson]
6969
6970 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6971 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6972
6973 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6974 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6975
6976 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6977 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6978 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6979
6980 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6981 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6982 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6983 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6984 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6985 this bug.
6986 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6987
6988 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6989 The interface is as follows:
6990 Applications can use
6991 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6992 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6993 "off" is now the default.
6994 The library internally uses
6995 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6996 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6997 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6998
6999 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7000 even the default) are now avoided.
7001
7002 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7003 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7004 than just having a counter.
7005
7006 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7007
7008 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7009 extensions.
7010 [Bodo Moeller]
7011
7012 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7013 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7014 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7015 Initial "mode" flags are:
7016
7017 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7018 a single record has been written.
7019 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7020 retries use the same buffer location.
7021 (But all of the contents must be
7022 copied!)
7023 [Bodo Moeller]
7024
7025 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7026 worked.
7027
7028 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7029 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7030
7031 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7032 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7033 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7034 [Steve Henson]
7035
7036 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7037 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7038 test programs.
7039 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7040
7041 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7042 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7043 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7044 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7045 point to the end.
7046 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7047 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7048
7049 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7050 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7051 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7052 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7053 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7054 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7055 [Steve Henson]
7056
7057 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7058 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7059 necessary function names.
7060 [Steve Henson]
7061
7062 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7063 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7064 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7065 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7066 [Bodo Moeller]
7067
7068 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7069 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7070 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7071 [Steve Henson]
7072
7073 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7074 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7075 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7076 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7077 such programs?)
7078 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7079 need locks.
7080 [Bodo Moeller]
7081
7082 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7083 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7084 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7085 [Bodo Moeller]
7086
7087 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7088 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7089 appropriate.
7090 [Bodo Moeller]
7091
7092 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7093 for the encoded length.
7094 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7095
7096 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7097 [Steve Henson]
7098
7099 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7100 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7101 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7102 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7103 [Steve Henson]
7104
7105 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7106 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7108
7109 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7110 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7111 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7112 unusual formatting.
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7116 to use the new extension code.
7117 [Steve Henson]
7118
7119 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7120 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7121 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7122 constant.
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7126 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7127 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7128 [Bodo Moeller]
7129
7130 #if 0
7131 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7132 [Ben Laurie]
7133 #else
7134 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7135 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7136 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7137 #endif
7138
7139 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7140 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7141 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7142 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7143 [Ben Laurie]
7144
7145 *) DES library cleanups.
7146 [Ulf Möller]
7147
7148 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7149 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7150 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7151 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7152 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7153 of v2.0.
7154 [Steve Henson]
7155
7156 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7157 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7158 [Bodo Moeller]
7159
7160 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7161 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7162 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7163 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7164 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7165 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7166 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7167 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7168 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7169 [Steve Henson]
7170
7171 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7172 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7173 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7174 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7175 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7176 value doesn't matter.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7180 support mutable.
7181 [Ben Laurie]
7182
7183 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7184 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7185 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7186 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7187
7188 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7189 [Ulf Möller]
7190
7191 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7192 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7193 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7194
7195 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7196 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7197
7198 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7199 [Ben Laurie]
7200
7201 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7202 [Ben Laurie]
7203
7204 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7205 [Ben Laurie]
7206
7207 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7208 [Bodo Moeller]
7209
7210
7211 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7212
7213 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7214
7215 *) Updated some demos.
7216 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7217
7218 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7219 [Wu Zhigang]
7220
7221 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7222 [Steve Henson]
7223
7224 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7225 [Steve Henson]
7226
7227 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7228 instead of using a fixed path.
7229 [Bodo Moeller]
7230
7231 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7232 [Andy Polyakov]
7233
7234 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7235 [Richard Levitte]
7236
7237
7238 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7239
7240 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7241 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7242 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7243
7244 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7245 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7246 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7247 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7248 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7249 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7250 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7251 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7252 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7253 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7257 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7258 [Steve Henson]
7259
7260 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7261 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7262 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7263 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7264 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7265
7266 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7267 [Bodo Moeller]
7268
7269 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7270 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7271 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7275 [Ben Laurie]
7276
7277 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7278 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7279 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7280 key elements as negative integers.
7281 [Steve Henson]
7282
7283 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7284 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7285
7286 *) VMS support.
7287 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7288
7289 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7290 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7291 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7292 [Steve Henson]
7293
7294 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7295 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7296 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7297 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7298 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7299 [Bodo Moeller]
7300
7301 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7302 [Ulf Möller]
7303
7304 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7305 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7306 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7308
7309 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7310 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7311 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7312
7313 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7314 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7315 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7316 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7317 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7318 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7319 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7320 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7321 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7322
7323 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7324 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7325 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7326 does not influence s as it used to.
7327
7328 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7329 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7330 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7331 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7332 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7333 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7334 [Bodo Moeller]
7335
7336 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7337 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7338 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7339 key type.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7343 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7344 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7345 and 'x509').
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7349 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7350 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7351 extension option.
7352 [Steve Henson]
7353
7354 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7355 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7356 [Ben Laurie]
7357
7358 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7359 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7360
7361 *) Support Mingw32.
7362 [Ulf Möller]
7363
7364 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7365 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7366
7367 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7368 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7369
7370 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7371 [Ulf Möller]
7372
7373 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7374 [Anonymous]
7375
7376 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7377 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7378
7379 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7380 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7381 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7382 DER-encoded.)
7383 [Bodo Moeller]
7384
7385 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7386 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7387 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7388 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7389 now it really counts the depth.
7390 [Bodo Moeller]
7391
7392 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7393 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7394 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7395 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7396 didn't match the private key).
7397
7398 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7399 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7400 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7401 [Bodo Moeller]
7402
7403 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7404 [Ulf Möller]
7405
7406 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7407 David Harris.
7408 [Bodo Moeller]
7409
7410 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7411 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7412 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7413 [Bodo Moeller]
7414
7415 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7416 [Bodo Moeller]
7417
7418 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7419 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7420 such as /usr/local/bin.
7421 [Bodo Moeller]
7422
7423 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7424 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7425
7426 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7427 [Ulf Möller]
7428
7429 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7430 extension adding in x509 utility.
7431 [Steve Henson]
7432
7433 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7434 [Ulf Möller]
7435
7436 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7437 prototypes.
7438 [Steve Henson]
7439
7440 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7441 [Ulf Möller]
7442
7443 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7444 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7445 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7446 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7447 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7448 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7449 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7450 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7451 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7452 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7453 [Steve Henson]
7454
7455 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7456 [Bodo Moeller]
7457
7458 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7459 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7460 [Bodo Moeller]
7461
7462 *) Fix some race conditions.
7463 [Bodo Moeller]
7464
7465 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7466 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7467 [Steve Henson]
7468
7469 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7470 [Ulf Möller]
7471
7472 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7473 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7474 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7475 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7476
7477 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7478 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7479
7480 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7481 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7482 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7483
7484 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7485 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7486
7487 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7488 [Ulf Möller]
7489
7490 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7491 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7492
7493 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7494 [Ulf Möller]
7495
7496 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7497 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7498
7499 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7500 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7501 [Steve Henson]
7502
7503 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7504 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7505 [Ben Laurie]
7506
7507 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7508 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7509 [Steve Henson]
7510
7511 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7512 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7513 [Steve Henson]
7514
7515 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7516 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7520 support typesafe stack.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7524 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7525
7526 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7527 old X509V3 handling code.
7528 [Steve Henson]
7529
7530 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7531 [Ulf Möller]
7532
7533 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7534 [Bodo Moeller]
7535
7536 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7537 [Ben Laurie]
7538
7539 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7540 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7541
7542 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7543 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7544 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7545 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7546 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7547 [Ben Laurie]
7548
7549 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7550 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7551 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7552 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7553 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7554
7555 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7556 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7557 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7559
7560 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7561 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7562 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7564
7565 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7566 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7567 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7568 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7569 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7570 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7571 [Bodo Moeller]
7572
7573 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7574 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7575 [Bodo Moeller]
7576
7577 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7578 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7579 [Ulf Möller]
7580
7581 *) Tweaks to Configure
7582 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7583
7584 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7585 yet...
7586 [Steve Henson]
7587
7588 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7589 [Ulf Möller]
7590
7591 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7592 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7593 [Ulf Möller]
7594
7595 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7596 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7597 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7598 [Bodo Moeller]
7599
7600 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7601 [Bodo Moeller]
7602
7603 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7604 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7608 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7609 to library startup routines.
7610 [Steve Henson]
7611
7612 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7613 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7614 codes along the way.
7615 [Steve Henson]
7616
7617 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7618 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7619 objects to objects.h
7620 [Steve Henson]
7621
7622 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7623 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7624 [Steve Henson]
7625
7626 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7627 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7628
7629 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7630 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7631 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7632
7633 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7634 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7635 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7636
7637 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7638 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7639 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7640
7641
7642 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7643
7644 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7645 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7646 [Ben Laurie]
7647
7648 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7649 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7650 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7651 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7652 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7653
7654 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7655 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7656 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7657 document.
7658 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7659
7660 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7661 Malloc, Free.
7662 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7663
7664 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7665 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7666
7667 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7668 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7669 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7670 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7671
7672 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7673 [Ben Laurie]
7674
7675 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7676 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7677 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7678 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7679 [Steve Henson]
7680
7681 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7682 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7683 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7687 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7688 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7689 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7690 installed as `perl').
7691 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7692
7693 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7694 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7695
7696 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7697 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7698 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7699 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7700 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7701 [Steve Henson]
7702
7703 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7704 [Ben Laurie]
7705
7706 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7707 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7708 is horrible: I feel ill....
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7712 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7713 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7714 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7718 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7719
7720 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7721 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7722 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7723 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7724
7725 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7726 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7727 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7728 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7729 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7730 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7731 openssl_bio.xs.
7732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7733
7734 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7735 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7736
7737 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7738 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7739
7740 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7741 [Ben Laurie]
7742
7743 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7744 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7745 in CRLs.
7746 [Steve Henson]
7747
7748 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7749 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7750 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7751 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7752 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7753 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7754 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7755 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7756 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7757 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7758 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7759
7760 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7761 [Ben Laurie]
7762
7763 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7764 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7765 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7766 for linking it into DSOs.
7767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7768
7769 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7770 Fixed.
7771 [Ben Laurie]
7772
7773 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7774 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7775 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7776 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7777 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7779
7780 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7781 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7782 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7783 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7784 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7785 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7787
7788 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7789 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7790 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7791 encryption.
7792 [Ben Laurie]
7793
7794 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7795 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7796 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7797 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7798 [Steve Henson]
7799
7800 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7801 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7802 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7803 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7804 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7805 field as blank.
7806 [Steve Henson]
7807
7808 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7809 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7810 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7811 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7813
7814 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7815 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7816 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7817
7818 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7819 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7820
7821 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7822 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7823 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7824 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7825 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7826 [Steve Henson]
7827
7828 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7829 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7830 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7831 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7832 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7833 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7834 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7835 [Ben Laurie]
7836
7837 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7838 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7839 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7840 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7841 [Ben Laurie]
7842
7843 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7844 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7845
7846 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7847 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7848 [Steve Henson]
7849
7850 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7851 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7852 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7853 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7854 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7855 (e.g. s_server).
7856 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7857 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7858 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7859 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7860 no way to reconfigure them.
7861 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7862 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7863 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7864 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7865 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7867
7868 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7869 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7870 recognized by the users.
7871 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7872
7873 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7874 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7875 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7876 already masked variable.
7877 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7878
7879 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7880 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7881
7882 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7883 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7884 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7885 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7886
7887 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7888 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7889 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7890
7891 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7892 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7893 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7894 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7895 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7896 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7897 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7898 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7899 now, too.
7900 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7901
7902 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7903 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7904 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7905
7906 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7907 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7908 config file.
7909 [Steve Henson]
7910
7911 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7912 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7913
7914 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7915 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7916 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7917 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7918 [Ben Laurie]
7919
7920 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7921 [Steve Henson]
7922
7923 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7924 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7925
7926 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7927 [Ben Laurie]
7928
7929 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7930 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7931 [Steve Henson]
7932
7933 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7934 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7935 [Steve Henson]
7936
7937 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7938 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7939 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7940 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7941 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7942 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7943 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7944 Ben Laurie]
7945
7946 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7947 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7948
7949 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7950 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7951 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7952 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7953 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7954
7955 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7956 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7957 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959
7960 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7961 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7962 an example.
7963 [Steve Henson]
7964
7965 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7966 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7967 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7968
7969 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7970 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7971 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7972 build instructions.
7973 [Steve Henson]
7974
7975 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7976 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7977 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7978 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7979 [Steve Henson]
7980
7981 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7982 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7983 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7984 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7985 [Ben Laurie]
7986
7987 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7988 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7989 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7990 so it wasn't spotted.
7991 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7992
7993 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7994 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7995 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7996 vectors if you have them.
7997 [Ben Laurie]
7998
7999 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8000 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8001 [Ben Laurie]
8002
8003 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8004 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8005 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8006 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8007 If you do a:
8008 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8009 it will update them.
8010 [Steve Henson]
8011
8012 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8013 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8014 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8015 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8016 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8017 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8018 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8020
8021 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8022 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8023 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8024 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8025 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8026 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8027 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8028 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8029 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8031
8032 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8033 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8034 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8035 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8036 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8037 [Steve Henson]
8038
8039 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8040 INTEGER code.
8041 [Steve Henson]
8042
8043 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8044 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8045
8046 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8047 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8048
8049 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8050 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8051 [Ben Laurie]
8052
8053 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8054 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8055
8056 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8057 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8058
8059 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8060 [Steve Henson]
8061
8062 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8063 few typos.
8064 [Steve Henson]
8065
8066 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8067 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8068 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8069 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8070
8071 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8072 [Steve Henson]
8073
8074 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8075 [Steve Henson]
8076
8077 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8078 [Steve Henson]
8079
8080 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8081 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8082 [Steve Henson]
8083
8084 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8085 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8086 CA extensions.
8087 [Steve Henson]
8088
8089 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8090 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8091 [Steve Henson]
8092
8093 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8094 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8095 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8099 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8100 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8101 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8102 properly to be processed.
8103 [Steve Henson]
8104
8105 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8106 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8107 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8108 [Ben Laurie]
8109
8110 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8111 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8112
8113 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8114 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8115 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8116 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8117 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8118 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8119 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8120 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8121 or delete all the .err files.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8125 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8126 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8127 to regenerate it if needed.
8128 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8129 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8130
8131 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8132 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8133
8134 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8135 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8136 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8137 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8138 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8139 [Steve Henson]
8140
8141 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8142 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8143
8144 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8145 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8146
8147 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8148 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8149 error, but didn't set one).
8150 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8151
8152 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8153 [Ben Laurie]
8154
8155 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8156 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8157 [Steve Henson]
8158
8159 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8160 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8161
8162 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8163 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8164 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8165 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8166 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8167 OID is not part of the table.
8168 [Steve Henson]
8169
8170 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8171 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8172 [Ben Laurie]
8173
8174 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8175 [Ben Laurie]
8176
8177 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8178 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8179 was "1234").
8180 [Steve Henson]
8181
8182 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8183 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8184
8185 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8186 NULL pointers.
8187 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8188
8189 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8190 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8191
8192 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8193 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8194
8195 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8196 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8197
8198 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8199 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8200 [Ben Laurie]
8201
8202 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8203 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8204 [Steve Henson]
8205
8206 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8207 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8208
8209 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8210 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8211
8212 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8213 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8214
8215 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8216 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8217
8218 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8219 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8220 unused in the certificate verification process.
8221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8222
8223 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8224 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8225 [Steve Henson]
8226
8227 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8228 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8229 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8230
8231 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8232 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8233 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8234 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8235 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8236
8237 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8238 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8239 [Steve Henson]
8240
8241 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8242 [Steve Henson]
8243
8244 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8245 [Paul Sutton]
8246
8247 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8248 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8249
8250 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8251 [Ben Laurie]
8252
8253 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8254 [Ben Laurie]
8255
8256 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8257 [Ben Laurie]
8258
8259 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8260 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8261 other error libraries.
8262 [Steve Henson]
8263
8264 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8265 [Steve Henson]
8266
8267 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8268 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8269 be read in.
8270 [Steve Henson]
8271
8272 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8273 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8274 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8275 the new set of documenation files.
8276 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8277
8278 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8279 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8280 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8281 number of arguments.
8282 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8283
8284 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8285 [Ben Laurie]
8286
8287 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8288 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8289 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8290
8291 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8292 [Ben Laurie]
8293
8294 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8295 nextstep
8296 ncr-scde
8297 unixware-2.0
8298 unixware-2.0-pentium
8299 sco5-cc.
8300 [Ben Laurie]
8301
8302 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8303 before they are needed.
8304 [Ben Laurie]
8305
8306 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8307 [Ben Laurie]
8308
8309
8310 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8311
8312 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8313 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8314 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8315
8316 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8317 [Paul Sutton]
8318
8319 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8320 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8322
8323 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8324 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8325 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8326
8327 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8328 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8330
8331 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8332 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8333
8334 *) Updated the README file.
8335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8336
8337 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8338 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8339 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8340
8341 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8342 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8344
8345 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8346 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8347 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8348 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8349 o removed obsolete TODO file
8350 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8352
8353 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8354 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8355 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8356 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8357 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8358 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8360
8361 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8362 [Mark J. Cox]
8363
8364 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8365 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8366 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8367 summer 1998.
8368 [The OpenSSL Project]
8369
8370
8371 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8372
8373 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/

8380 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8381 [Eric A. Young]
8382
8383 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8384 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8385 available).
8386 [Eric A. Young]
8387
8388 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8389 binary structures
8390 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8391
8392 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8393 [Eric A. Young]
8394
8395 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8396 [Eric A. Young]
8397
8398 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8399 [Eric A. Young]
8400
8401 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8402 [Eric A. Young]
8403
8404 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8405 [Eric A. Young]
8406
8407 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8408 [Eric A. Young]
8409
8410 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8411 [Eric A. Young]
8412
8413 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8414 [Eric A. Young]
8415
8416 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8417 [Eric A. Young]
8418
8419 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8420 [Eric A. Young]
8421
8422 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8423 [Eric A. Young]
8424
8425 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8426 [Eric A. Young]
8427
8428 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8429 [Eric A. Young]
8430
8431 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8432 [Eric A. Young]
8433
8434 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8435 [Eric A. Young]
8436
8437 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8438 [Eric A. Young]
8439
8440 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8441 [Eric A. Young]
8442
8443 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8444 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8445 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8446 [Eric A. Young]
8447
8448 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8449 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8450 [Eric A. Young]
8451
8452 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8453 [Eric A. Young]
8454
8455 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8456 [Eric A. Young]
8457
8458 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8459 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8460 [Eric A. Young]
8461

8463 [Eric A. Young]
8464
8465 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8466 [Eric A. Young]
8467
8468 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8469 bytes sent in the client random.
8470 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
