10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *)
13
14 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
15
16 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
17 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
18 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
19 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
20 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
21 of the ClientHello
22 [Benjamin Kaduk]
23
24 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
25 [Jack Lloyd]
26
27 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
28 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
29 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
30 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
31 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
32 [Paul Dale]
33
34 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
35 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
36 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
37 [Patrick Steuer]
38
39 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
40 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
41 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
42 [Richard Levitte]
43
44 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
45 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
46 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
47 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
48 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
49 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
50 to work in projective coordinates.
51 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
52
53 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
54 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
55 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
56 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
57 to 2^-128.
58 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
59
60 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
61 [Kurt Roeckx]
62
63 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
64 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
65 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
66 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
67 [Richard Levitte]
68
69 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
70 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
71 [Andy Polyakov]
72
73 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
74 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
75 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
76 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
77 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
78
79 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
80 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
81 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
82 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
83 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
84 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
85
86 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
87 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
88 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
89 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
90 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
91 [Paul Dale]
92
93 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
94 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
95 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
96 authors.
97 [Matt Caswell]
98
99 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
100 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
101 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
102 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
103 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
104 multi-version installation is managed.
105 [Andy Polyakov]
106
107 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
108 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
109 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
110 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
111 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
112 [Billy Bob Brumley]
113
114 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
115 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
116 chosen point SCA attacks.
117 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
118
119 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
120 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
121 [Matt Caswell]
122
123 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
124 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
125 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
126 [Matt Caswell]
127
128 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
129 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
130 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
131 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
132 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
133 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
134 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
135 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
136 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
137 [Kurt Roeckx]
138
139 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
140 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
141 [Richard Levitte]
142
143 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
144 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
145 [Billy Bob Brumley]
146
147 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
148 binary and prime elliptic curves.
149 [Billy Bob Brumley]
150
151 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
152 constant time fixed point multiplication.
153 [Billy Bob Brumley]
154
155 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
156 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
157 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
158 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
159 ECDH derive operations).
160 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
161 Sohaib ul Hassan]
162
163 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
164 [Rich Salz]
165
166 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
167 randomness from the system.
168 [Matthias St. Pierre]
169
170 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
171 [Richard Levitte]
172
173 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
174 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
175 [Matt Caswell]
176
177 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
178 [Matt Caswell]
179
180 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
181 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
182
183 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
184 [Richard Levitte]
185
186 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
187 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
188 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
189 [Matt Caswell]
190
191 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
192 stack.
193 [Rich Salz]
194
195 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
196 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
197 [Bernd Edlinger]
198
199 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
200 [Matt Caswell]
201
202 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
203 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
204 [Matthias St. Pierre]
205
206 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
207 for the license change).
208 [Rich Salz]
209
210 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
211 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
212 [Matt Caswell]
213
214 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
215 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
216 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
217 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
218 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
219 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
220 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
221 [Matt Caswell]
222
223 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
224 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
225 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
226 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
227 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
228 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
229 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
230 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
231 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
232 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
233 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
234 written to stderr.
235 [Viktor Dukhovni]
236
237 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
238 Mike Hamburg.
239 [Matt Caswell]
240
241 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
242 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
243 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
244 get the search data out of them.
245 [Richard Levitte]
246
247 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
248 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
249 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
250 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
251 [Matt Caswell]
252
253 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
254
255 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
256 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
257 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
258 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
259 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
260 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
261
262 Some of its new features are:
263 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
264 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
265 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
266 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
267 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
268 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
269 operation
270 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
271
272 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
273 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
274 to display all sorts of configuration data.
275 [Richard Levitte]
276
277 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
278 [Richard Levitte]
279
280 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
281 [Paul Dale]
282
283 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
284 now been removed.
285 [Rich Salz]
286
287 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
288 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
289 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
290 debug (or make silent).
291 [Richard Levitte]
292
293 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
294 arguments to config / Configure.
295 [Richard Levitte]
296
297 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
298 [Paul Yang]
299
300 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
301 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
302 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
303 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
304
305 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
306 as documented in RFC6066.
307 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
308 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
309
310 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
311 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
312 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
313 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
314
315 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
316 original author does not agree with the license change.
317 [Rich Salz]
318
319 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
320 [Jon Spillett]
321
322 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
323 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
324 [Rich Salz]
325
326 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
327 without clearing the errors.
328 [Richard Levitte]
329
330 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
331 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
332 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
333 [Rich Salz]
334
335 *) Add SHA3.
336 [Andy Polyakov]
337
338 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
339 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
340 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
341 as a fallback).
342
343 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
344 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
345 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
346 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
347 [Richard Levitte]
348
349 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
350 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
351 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
352 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
353 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
354 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
355 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
356 [Richard Levitte]
357
358 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
359 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
360 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
361 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
362 [Richard Levitte]
363
364 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
365 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
366 error code calls like this:
367
368 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
369
370 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
371 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
372 affect new modules.
373 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
374
375 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
376 [Rich Salz]
377
378 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
379 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
380 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
381 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
382 [Richard Levitte]
383
384 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
385 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
386 than just the call where this user data is passed.
387 [Richard Levitte]
388
389 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
390 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
391 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
392
393 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
394 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
395 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
396 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
397 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
398 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
399 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
400 issues.
401 [Matt Caswell]
402
403 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
404 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
405 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
406 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
407 [Richard Levitte]
408
409 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
410 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
411 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
412
413 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
414 does for RSA, etc.
415 [Richard Levitte]
416
417 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
418 platform rather than 'mingw'.
419 [Richard Levitte]
420
421 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
422 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
423 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
424 certificates and CRLs.
425 [Paul Dale]
426
427 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
428 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
429 [Andy Polyakov]
430
431 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
432 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
433 [Richard Levitte]
434
435 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
436 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
437 which is the minimum version we support.
438 [Richard Levitte]
439
440 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
441 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
442 are no longer allowed.
443 [Emilia Käsper]
444
445 *) Add support for ARIA
446 [Paul Dale]
447
448 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
449 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
450 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
451 using "-servername".
452 [Matt Caswell]
453
454 *) Add support for SipHash
455 [Todd Short]
456
457 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
458 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
459 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
460 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
461 [Matt Caswell]
462
463 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
464 using the algorithm defined in
465 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
466 [Richard Levitte]
467
468 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
469 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
470
471 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
472 [Emilia Käsper]
473
474 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
475 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
476 [Rich Salz]
477
478
479 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
480
481 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
482
483 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
484 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
485 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
486 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
487 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
488
489 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
490 (CVE-2018-0732)
491 [Guido Vranken]
492
493 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
494
495 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
496 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
497 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
498 recover the private key.
499
500 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
501 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
502 (CVE-2018-0737)
503 [Billy Brumley]
504
505 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
506 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
507 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
508 [Richard Levitte]
509
510 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
511 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
512 [Andy Polyakov]
513
514 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
515 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
516 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
517 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
518 to 2^-128.
519 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
520
521 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
522 [Kurt Roeckx]
523
524 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
525 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
526 [Matt Caswell]
527
528 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
529 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
530 [Richard Levitte]
531
532 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
533 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
534 are no longer allowed.
535 [Emilia Käsper]
536
537 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
538
539 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
540 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
541 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
542 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
543 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
544 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
545 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
546 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
547 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
548 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
549 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
550 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
551 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).

554 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
555
556 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
557
558 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
559 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
560 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
561 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
562 so this is considered safe.
563
564 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
565 project.
566 (CVE-2018-0739)
567 [Matt Caswell]
568
569 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
570
571 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
572 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
573 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
574 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
575 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
576 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
577
578 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
579 (IBM).
580 (CVE-2018-0733)
581 [Andy Polyakov]
582
583 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
584 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
585 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
586 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
587 [Richard Levitte]
588
589 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
590
591 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
592 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
593 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
594 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
595 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
596
597 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
598 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
599 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
600 [Matt Caswell]
601
602 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
603 exist.
604 [Rich Salz]
605
606 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
607
608 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
609 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
610 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
611 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
612 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
613 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
614 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
615 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
616 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
617 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
618
619 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
620 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
621
622 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
623 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
624 (CVE-2017-3738)
625 [Andy Polyakov]
626
627 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
628
629 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
630
631 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
632 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
633 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
634 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
635 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
636 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
637 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
638 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
639 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
640 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
641 key that is shared between multiple clients.
642
643 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
644 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
645
646 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
647 (CVE-2017-3736)
648 [Andy Polyakov]
649
650 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
651
652 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
653 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
654 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
655
656 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
657 (CVE-2017-3735)
658 [Rich Salz]
659
660 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
661
662 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
663 platform rather than 'mingw'.
664 [Richard Levitte]
665
666 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
667 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
668 which is the minimum version we support.
669 [Richard Levitte]
670
671 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
672
673 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
674
675 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
676 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
677 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
678 and servers are affected.
679
680 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
681 (CVE-2017-3733)
682 [Matt Caswell]
683
684 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
685
686 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
687
688 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
689 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
690 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
691
692 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
693 (CVE-2017-3731)
694 [Andy Polyakov]
695
696 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
697
698 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
699 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
700 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
701 of Service attack.
702
703 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
704 (CVE-2017-3730)
705 [Matt Caswell]
706
707 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
708
709 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
710 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
711 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
712 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
713 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
714 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
715 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
716 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
717 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
718 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
719 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
720 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
721 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
722
723 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
724 (CVE-2017-3732)
725 [Andy Polyakov]
726
727 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
728
729 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
730
731 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
732 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
733 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
734
735 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
736 (CVE-2016-7054)
737 [Richard Levitte]
738
739 *) CMS Null dereference
740
741 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
742 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
743 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
744 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
745 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
746 affected.
747
748 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
749 (CVE-2016-7053)
750 [Stephen Henson]
751
752 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
753
754 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
755 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
756 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
757 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
758 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
759 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
760 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
761 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
762 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
763 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
764 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
765 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
766 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
767 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
768
769 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
770 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
771 providing reproducible case.
772 (CVE-2016-7055)
773 [Andy Polyakov]
774
775 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
776 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
777 [Richard Levitte]
778
779 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
780
781 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
782
783 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
784 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
785 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
786 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
787 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
788 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
789
790 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
791
792 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
793 (CVE-2016-6309)
794 [Matt Caswell]
795
796 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
797
798 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
799
800 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
801 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
802 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
803 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
804 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
805 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
806 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
807
808 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
809 (CVE-2016-6304)
810 [Matt Caswell]
811
812 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
813
814 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
815 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
816 Denial Of Service attack.
817
818 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
819 (CVE-2016-6305)
820 [Matt Caswell]
821
822 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
823 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
824
825 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
826 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
827 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
828 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
829 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
830 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
831 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
832 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
833 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
834 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
835 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
836 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
837 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
838 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
839 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
840
841 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
842 that the connection fails
843 or
844 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
845 very little free memory
846 or
847 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
848 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
849 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
850 memory to service the multiple requests.
851
852 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
853 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
854 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
855 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
856 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

859 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
860 [Matt Caswell]
861
862 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
863 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
864 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
865 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
866 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
867 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
868 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
869 [Andy Polyakov]
870
871 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
872
873 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
874 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
875 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
876 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
877 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
878 non-ASCII password.
879 [Andy Polyakov]
880
881 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
882 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
883 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
884 [Rich Salz]
885
886 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
887 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
888 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
889 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
890 [Matt Caswell]
891
892 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
893 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
894 success.
895 [Matt Caswell]
896
897 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
898 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
899 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
900 no-ops and deprecated.
901 [Matt Caswell]
902
903 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
904 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
905 were also closed.
906 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
907
908 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
909 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
910 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
911 [Rich Salz]
912
913 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
914 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
915 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
916 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
917 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
918 and the validity of object reference counter.
919 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
920
921 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
922 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
923 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
924 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
925 [Richard Levitte]
926
927 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
928 [Richard Levitte]
929
930 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
931 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
932 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
933 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
934
935 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
936
937 [Richard Levitte]
938
939 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
940 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
941 [Steve Henson]
942
943 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
944 [Andy Polyakov]
945
946 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
947 [Rich Salz]
948
949 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
950 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
951 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
952 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
953 name and is used as is.
954 [Richard Levitte]
955
956 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
957 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
958 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
959 [Rich Salz]
960
961 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
962 the "no-shared" Configure option.
963 [Matt Caswell]
964
965 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
966 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
967 algorithms.
968 [Matt Caswell]
969
970 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
971 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
972 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
973 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
974 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
975 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
976 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
977 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
978 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
979 [Matt Caswell]
980
981 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
982 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
983 enabled with '--debug' builds.
984 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
985
986 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
987 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
988 these have been added.
989 [Matt Caswell]
990
991 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
992 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
993 functions for managing these have been added.
994 [Richard Levitte]
995
996 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
997 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
998 these have been added.
999 [Matt Caswell]
1000
1001 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1002 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1003 have been added.
1004 [Matt Caswell]
1005
1006 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1007 [Matt Caswell]
1008
1009 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1010 [Richard Levitte]
1011
1012 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1013 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1014 [Rich Salz]
1015
1016 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1017 [Richard Levitte]
1018
1019 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1020 [Rich Salz]
1021
1022 *) Add support for HKDF.
1023 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1024
1025 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1026 [Bill Cox]
1027
1028 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1029 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1030 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1031 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1032 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1033 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1034 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1035 [Matt Caswell]
1036
1037 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1038 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1039 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1040 [Catriona Lucey]
1041
1042 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1043 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1044 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1045 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1046 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1047 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1048 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1049
1050 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1051 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1052 [Todd Short]
1053
1054 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1055 [Todd Short]
1056
1057 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1058 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1059 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1060 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1061 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1062 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1063 default cipherlist.
1064 [Emilia Käsper]
1065
1066 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1067 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1068 [Rich Salz]
1069
1070 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1071 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1072 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1073 [Matt Caswell]
1074
1075 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1076 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1077 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1078 implemented by other servers.
1079 [Emilia Käsper]
1080
1081 *) Add X25519 support.
1082 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1083 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1084 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1085 key generation and key derivation.
1086
1087 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1088 X25519(29).
1089 [Steve Henson]
1090
1091 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1092 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1093 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1094 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1095 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1096
1097 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1098 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1099 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1100 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1101 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1102 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1103 that of a valid user.
1104 [Emilia Käsper]
1105
1106 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1107 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1108 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1109 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1110
1111 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1112 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1113
1114 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1115 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1116 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1117 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1118
1119 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1120 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1121 irrelevant.
1122 [Richard Levitte]
1123
1124 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1125 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1126 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1127 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1128 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1129 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1130
1131 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1132 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1133 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1134 [Richard Levitte]
1135
1136 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1137 [Rich Salz]
1138
1139 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1140 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1141 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1142 removed.
1143 [Richard Levitte]
1144
1145 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1146 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1147 old #define's might need to be updated.
1148 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1149
1150 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1151 [Rich Salz]
1152
1153 *) New "unified" build system
1154
1155 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1156 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1157
1158 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1159 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1160 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1161
1162 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1163 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1164 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1165 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1166 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1167
1168 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1169 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1170 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1171 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1172 libraries" in INSTALL.
1173
1174 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1175 [Richard Levitte]
1176
1177 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1178 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1179 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1180 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1181 [Matt Caswell]
1182
1183 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1184 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1185
1186 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1187 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1188 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1189 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1190 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1191 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1192 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1193 have been adapted accordingly.
1194 [Richard Levitte]
1195
1196 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1197 the leading 0-byte.
1198 [Emilia Käsper]
1199
1200 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1201 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1202 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1203 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1204 [Emilia Käsper]
1205
1206 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1207 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1208 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1209 'unsigned char*'.
1210 [Emilia Käsper]
1211
1212 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1213 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1214 [Emilia Käsper]
1215
1216 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1217 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1218 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1219 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1220 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1221 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1222 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1223
1224 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1225 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1226
1227 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1228 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1229 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1230 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1231 Text::Template.
1232
1233 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1234 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1235 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1236 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1237 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1238 %target).
1239 [Richard Levitte]
1240
1241 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1242 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1243 straightforward and less interdependent.
1244
1245 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1246 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1247 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1248
1249 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1250 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1251 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1252 installed.
1253 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1254 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1255 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1256 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1257
1258 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1259 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1260 [Richard Levitte]
1261
1262 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1263 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1264 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1265 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1266 is present).
1267 [Matt Caswell]
1268
1269 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1270 configuring.
1271 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1272
1273 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1274 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1275 before trying to build now.*
1276 [Rich Salz]
1277
1278 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1279 has changed.
1280 [Rich Salz]
1281
1282 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1283
1284 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1285 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1286 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1287 used to authenticate the peer.
1288
1289 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1290 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1291 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1292 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1293 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1294 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1295
1296 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1297 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1298 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1299 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1300 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1301 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1302
1303 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1304 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1305 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1306 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1307 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1308 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1309 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1310 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1311 version.
1312
1313 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1314 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1315 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1316 compile with later releases.
1317
1318 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1319 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1320 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1321 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1322 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1323 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1324
1325 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1326 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1327 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1328 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1329 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1330 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1331 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1332 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1333 [Kurt Roeckx]
1334
1335 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1336 [Andy Polyakov]
1337
1338 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1339 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1340 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1341 ECDSA_SIG format.
1342
1343 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1344 include the ec.h header file instead.
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1348 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1349 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1350 [Kurt Roeckx]
1351
1352 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1353 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1354 were added:
1355
1356 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1357 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1358
1359 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1360 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1361 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1362
1363 Additional changes:
1364 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1365 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1366 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1367 an already created structure.
1368 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1369 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1370 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1371 for deprecated builds.
1372 [Richard Levitte]
1373
1374 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1375 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1376 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1377 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1378 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1379 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1380 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1381 [Matt Caswell]
1382
1383 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1384 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1385 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1386 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1387 [Kurt Roeckx]
1388
1389 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1390 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1391 [Kurt Roeckx]
1392
1393 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1394 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1395 [Kurt Roeckx]
1396
1397 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1398 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1399 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1400 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1401 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1402 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1403 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1404 also been removed.
1405 [Matt Caswell]
1406
1407 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1408 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1409 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1410 [Rich Salz]
1411
1412 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1413 [Rich Salz]
1414
1415 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1416 sureware and ubsec.
1417 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1418
1419 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1420
1421 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1422 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1423
1424 FOO *x;
1425
1426 it must be:
1427
1428 FOO x;
1429
1430 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1431 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1432
1433 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1434 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1435 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1436 SEQUENCE OF.
1437 [Steve Henson]
1438
1439 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1440 [Emilia Käsper]
1441
1442 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1443 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1444 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1445 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1446 [Matt Caswell]
1447
1448 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1449 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1450 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1451 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1452 [Emilia Käsper]
1453
1454 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1455 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1456 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1457
1458 *) New testing framework
1459 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1460 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1461 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1462 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1463 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1464 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1465
1466 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1467
1468 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1469 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1470
1471 [Richard Levitte]
1472
1473 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1474 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1475 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1476 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1477 [Rich Salz]
1478
1479 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1480 return an error
1481 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1482
1483 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1484 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1485
1486 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1487 original RSA_PSK patch.
1488 [Steve Henson]
1489
1490 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1491 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1492 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1493 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1494 [Matt Caswell]
1495
1496 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1497 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1498 [Richard Levitte]
1499
1500 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1501 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1502 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1503 [Emilia Käsper]
1504
1505 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1506 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1507 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1508 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1509 transferred.
1510 [Matt Caswell]
1511
1512 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1513 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1514 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1515 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1516 [Matt Caswell]
1517
1518 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1519 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1520 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1521 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1522 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1523 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1524 [Matt Caswell]
1525
1526 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1527 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1528 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1529 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1530 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1531 header file has been removed.
1532 [Matt Caswell]
1533
1534 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1535 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1536 [Matt Caswell]
1537
1538 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1539 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1540 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1541
1542 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1543 Added a test.
1544 [Rich Salz]
1545
1546 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1547 [Rich Salz]
1548
1549 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1550 sha256
1551 [Rich Salz]
1552
1553 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1554 [Matt Caswell]
1555
1556 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1557 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1558 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1559 [Steve Henson]
1560
1561 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1562 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1563 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1564 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1565 [Matt Caswell]
1566
1567 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1568 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1569 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1570 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1571 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1572 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1573 [Matt Caswell]
1574
1575 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1576 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1577 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1578 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1579 [Matt Caswell]
1580
1581 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1582 compatible client hello.
1583 [Kurt Roeckx]
1584
1585 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1586 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1587 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1588
1589 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1590 [Rich Salz]
1591
1592 *) Removed old DES API.
1593 [Rich Salz]
1594
1595 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1596 Sony NEWS4
1597 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1598 NeXT
1599 SUNOS
1600 MPE/iX
1601 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1602 DGUX
1603 NCR
1604 Tandem
1605 Cray
1606 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1607 [Rich Salz]
1608
1609 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1610 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1611 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1612 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1613 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1614 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1615 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1616 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1617 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1618 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1619 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1620 [Rich Salz]
1621
1622 *) Cleaned up dead code
1623 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1624 [Rich Salz]
1625
1626 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1627 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1628 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1629 [Rich Salz]
1630
1631 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1632 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1633 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1634 [Rich Salz]
1635
1636 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1637 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1638 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1639
1640 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1641 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1642 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1643
1644 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1645 compilation flags.
1646 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1647
1648 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1649 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1650 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1651
1652 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1653 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1654
1655 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1656 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1657 server.
1658
1659 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1660 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1661 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1662 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1663
1664 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1665 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1666 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1667 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1668
1669 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1670 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1671 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1672
1673 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1674 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1678
1679 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1680 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1681
1682 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1683 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1684
1685 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1686 effect.
1687
1688 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1689
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1693 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1694 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1695 algorithms and include tests cases.
1696 [Steve Henson]
1697
1698 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1699 enveloped data.
1700 [Steve Henson]
1701
1702 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1703 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1707 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1708
1709 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1710 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1711 [Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1714 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1715 failures.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1719 sign or verify all in one operation.
1720 [Steve Henson]
1721
1722 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1723 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1724 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1725 [Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1728 [Steve Henson]
1729
1730 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1731 [Steve Henson]
1732
1733 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1734 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1735 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1736 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1737 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1741 based on NID.
1742 [Steve Henson]
1743
1744 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1745 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1746 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1750 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1751
1752 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1753 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1754 [Steve Henson]
1755
1756 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1757 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1761 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1762 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1766 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1767 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1768 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1769 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1770 requested amount of entropy.
1771 [Steve Henson]
1772
1773 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1774 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1775 [Steve Henson]
1776
1777 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1778 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1779 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1780 support.
1781 [Steve Henson]
1782
1783 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1784 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1785 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1786 [Steve Henson]
1787
1788 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1789 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1790 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1791 will never use XTS mode.
1792 [Steve Henson]
1793
1794 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1795 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1796 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1797 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1798 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1799 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1800 [Steve Henson]
1801
1802 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1803 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1804 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1805 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1806 [Steve Henson]
1807
1808 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1809 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1810 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1811 [Steve Henson]
1812
1813 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1814 [Steve Henson]
1815
1816 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1817 [Steve Henson]
1818
1819 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1820 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1824 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1825 [Steve Henson]
1826
1827 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1828 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1829 [Steve Henson]
1830
1831 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1832 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1833 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1834 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1835 and rename any affected symbols.
1836 [Steve Henson]
1837
1838 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1839 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1840 [Steve Henson]
1841
1842 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1843 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1844 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1845 [Steve Henson]
1846
1847 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1851 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1852 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1853 [Steve Henson]
1854
1855 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1856 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1857 [Steve Henson]
1858
1859 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1860 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1861 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1862 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1863 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1864 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1865 set before the key.
1866 [Steve Henson]
1867
1868 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1869 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1870 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1871 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1872 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1873 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1874 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1875 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1876 [Steve Henson]
1877
1878 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1879 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1880 [Steve Henson]
1881
1882 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1883
1884 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1885 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1886
1887 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1888 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1889 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1890 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1891 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1892 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1893
1894 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1895 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1896 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1897 security.
1898 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1899
1900 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1901 parameters by name.
1902 [Steve Henson]
1903
1904 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1905 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1906 [Steve Henson]
1907
1908 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1909 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1910 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1911 [Steve Henson]
1912
1913 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1914 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1915 multi-process servers.
1916 [Steve Henson]
1917
1918 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1919 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1920 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1921 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1922 RAND_METHOD structure.
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1926 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1927 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1928 whose return value is often ignored.
1929 [Steve Henson]
1930
1931 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1932 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1933 validated when establishing a connection.
1934 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1936 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1937
1938 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1939
1940 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1941 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1942 AES-NI.
1943
1944 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1945 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1946 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1947 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1948 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1949 bytes.
1950
1951 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1952 (CVE-2016-2107)
1953 [Kurt Roeckx]
1954
1955 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1956
1957 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1958 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1959 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1960 corruption.
1961
1962 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1963 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1964 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1965 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1966 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1967 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1968
1969 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1970 (CVE-2016-2105)
1971 [Matt Caswell]
1972
1973 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1974
1975 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1976 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1977 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1978 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1979 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1980 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1981 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1982 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1983 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1984 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1985 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1986 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1987 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1988 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1989 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1990 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1991
1992 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1993 (CVE-2016-2106)
1994 [Matt Caswell]
1995
1996 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1997
1998 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1999 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2000 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2001
2002 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2003 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2004 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2005 applications are not affected.

2007 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2008 (CVE-2016-2109)
2009 [Stephen Henson]
2010
2011 *) EBCDIC overread
2012
2013 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2014 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2015 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2019 [Matt Caswell]
2020
2021 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2022 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2023 [Todd Short]
2024
2025 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2026 default.
2027 [Kurt Roeckx]
2028
2029 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2030 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2031 [Kurt Roeckx]
2032
2033 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2034
2035 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2036 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2037 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2038 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2039
2040 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2041 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2042 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2043 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2044 will need to explicitly call either of:
2045
2046 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2047 or
2048 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2049
2050 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2051 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2052 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2053 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2054 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2055 (CVE-2016-0800)
2056 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2057
2058 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2059
2060 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2061 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2062 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2063 considered rare.
2064
2065 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2066 libFuzzer.
2067 (CVE-2016-0705)
2068 [Stephen Henson]
2069
2070 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2071
2072 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2073
2074 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2075 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2076 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2077 is configured.
2078
2079 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2080 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2081 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2082 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2083 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2084 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2085 that of a valid user.
2086 (CVE-2016-0798)
2087 [Emilia Käsper]
2088
2089 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2090
2091 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2092 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2093 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2094 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2095 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2096 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2097 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2098 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2099 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2100 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2101 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2102
2103 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2104 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2105 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2106 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2107 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2108
2109 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2110 (CVE-2016-0797)
2111 [Matt Caswell]
2112
2113 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2114
2115 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2116 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2117 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2118
2119 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2120 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2121 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2122 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2123 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2124 also occur.
2125
2126 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2127 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2128 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2129 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2130 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2131 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2132 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2133 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2134 as command line arguments.
2135
2136 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2137 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2138 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2139
2140 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2141 (CVE-2016-0799)
2142 [Matt Caswell]
2143
2144 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2145
2146 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2147 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2148 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2149 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2150 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2151
2152 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2153 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2154 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2155 http://cachebleed.info.

2158
2159 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2160 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2161 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2162 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2163 [Emilia Käsper]
2164
2165 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2166 *) DH small subgroups
2167
2168 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2169 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2170 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2171 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2172 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2173 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2174 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2175 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2176 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2177 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2178
2179 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2180 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2181 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2182 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2183 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2184
2185 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2186 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2187 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2188 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2189
2190 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2191 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2192
2193 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2194 (CVE-2016-0701)
2195 [Matt Caswell]
2196
2197 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2198
2199 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2200 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2201 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2202 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2203
2204 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2205 and Sebastian Schinzel.

2209 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2210
2211 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2212
2213 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2214 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2215 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2216 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2217 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2218 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2219 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2220 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2221 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2222 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2223 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2224 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2228 [Andy Polyakov]
2229
2230 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2231
2232 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2233 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2234 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2235 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2236 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2237 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2238 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2239 authentication.

2244
2245 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2246
2247 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2248 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2249 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2250 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

2256
2257 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.

2268
2269 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2270
2271 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2272 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2273 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2274 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2275 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2276 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2290
2291 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2292
2293 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2294 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2295 field.
2296
2297 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2298 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2299 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2300 client authentication enabled.
2301
2302 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2303 (CVE-2015-1788)
2304 [Andy Polyakov]
2305
2306 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2307
2308 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2309 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2310 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2311 time string.
2312
2313 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2314 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2315 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2316 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2317 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2318 callbacks.

2324
2325 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2326
2327 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2328 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2329 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2330
2331 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2332 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2333 servers are not affected.

2338
2339 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2340
2341 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2342 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2343 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2344 the CMS code.

2364 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2365
2366 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2367 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2368 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2369
2370 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2371 University.
2372 (CVE-2015-0291)
2373 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2374
2375 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2376
2377 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2378 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2379 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2380 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2381 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2382 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2383 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2384 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2385
2386 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2387 (CVE-2015-0290)
2388 [Matt Caswell]
2389
2390 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2391
2392 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2393 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2394 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2395 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2396 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2397 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2398 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2399 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2400 server.

2405
2406 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2407
2408 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2409 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2410 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2411 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2412 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2413 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2414 (CVE-2015-0286)
2415 [Stephen Henson]
2416
2417 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2418
2419 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2420 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2421 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2422 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2423 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2424 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2425 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

2429 [Stephen Henson]
2430
2431 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2432
2433 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2434 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2435 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2436
2437 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2438 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2439 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2440 not affected.

2443
2444 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2445
2446 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2447 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2448 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2449
2450 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2451 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2452 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

2469 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2470
2471 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE

2473 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2474 (CVE-2015-1787)
2475 [Matt Caswell]
2476
2477 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2478
2479 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2480 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2481 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2482 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2483 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2484 SSL_client_methodv23)
2485 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2486 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2487
2488 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2489 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2490 output may be predictable.
2491
2492 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2493 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2494
2495 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2496 (CVE-2015-0285)
2497 [Matt Caswell]
2498
2499 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2500
2501 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2502 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2503 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2504 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2505 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2506 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2507
2508 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2509 commit 517073cd4b.
2510 (CVE-2015-0209)
2511 [Matt Caswell]
2512
2513 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2514
2515 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2516 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2517
2518 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2519 (CVE-2015-0288)
2520 [Stephen Henson]
2521
2522 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2523 [Kurt Roeckx]
2524
2525 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2526
2527 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2528 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2529 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2530 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2531 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2532 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2533 [Andy Polyakov]
2534
2535 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2536 (other platforms pending).
2537 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2538
2539 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2540 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2541 [Rob Stradling]
2542
2543 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2544 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2545 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2546 [Bodo Moeller]
2547
2548 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2549 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2550 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2551 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2552 [Andy Polyakov]
2553
2554 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2555 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2556
2557 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2558 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2559 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2560 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2561 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2562
2563 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2564 [Andy Polyakov]
2565
2566 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2567 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2568 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2569 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2570
2571 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2572 RSAZ.
2573 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2574
2575 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2576 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2577 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2578 for TLS encrypt.
2579
2580 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2581 [Andy Polyakov]
2582
2583 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2584 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2585 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2586 [Steve Henson]
2587
2588 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2589 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2590 [Steve Henson]
2591
2592 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2593 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2594 [Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2597 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2598 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2599 algorithms and include tests cases.
2600 [Steve Henson]
2601
2602 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2603 structure.
2604 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2607 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2611 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2612 summary of the connection parameters.
2613 [Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2616 of connection parameters.
2617 [Steve Henson]
2618
2619 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2620 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2621
2622 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2623 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2624 [Steve Henson]
2625
2626 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2630 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2631 [Steve Henson]
2632
2633 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2634 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2635 [Steve Henson]
2636
2637 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2638 certificates.
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2642 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2643 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2647 [Steve Henson]
2648
2649 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2650 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2651 [Steve Henson]
2652
2653 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2654 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2655 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2656 tracing.
2657 [Steve Henson]
2658
2659 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2660 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2661 [Steve Henson]
2662
2663 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2664 OID NID.
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2668 client to OpenSSL.
2669 [Steve Henson]
2670
2671 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2672 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2673 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2674 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2675 [Steve Henson]
2676
2677 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2678 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2679 [Steve Henson]
2680
2681 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2682 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2683 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2684 comparison.
2685 [Steve Henson]
2686
2687 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2688 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2689 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2690 use the certificate.
2691 [Steve Henson]
2692
2693 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2694 [Steve Henson]
2695
2696 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2697 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2698 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2699 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2700 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2701 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2702 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2703
2704 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2705 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2706
2707 [Steve Henson]
2708
2709 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2710 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2711 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2712 [Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2715 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2716 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2717 supported signature algorithms.
2718 [Steve Henson]
2719
2720 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2721 [Steve Henson]
2722
2723 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2724 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2725 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2726 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2727 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2728 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2729 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2730 [Steve Henson]
2731
2732 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2733 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2734 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2735 to have similar checks in it.
2736
2737 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2738 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2739 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2740 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2741 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2742 [Steve Henson]
2743
2744 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2745 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2746 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2747 shared signature algorithms.
2748 [Steve Henson]
2749
2750 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2751 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2752 to support them.
2753 [Steve Henson]
2754
2755 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2756 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2757 it couldn't be removed.
2758 [Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2761 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2765 functions. Add manual page.
2766 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2767
2768 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2769 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2770 a certificate.
2771 [Steve Henson]
2772
2773 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2774 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2775
2776 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2777 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2778 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2779 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2780 utility) or reject.
2781 [Steve Henson]
2782
2783 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2784 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2788 platform support for Linux and Android.
2789 [Andy Polyakov]
2790
2791 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2792 [Andy Polyakov]
2793
2794 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2795 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2796 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2797 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2798 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2799 [Steve Henson]
2800
2801 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2802 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2803 the new parameter format automatically.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2807 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2808 [Steve Henson]
2809
2810 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2814 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2815 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2816 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2817 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2818 [Steve Henson]
2819
2820 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2821 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2822 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2823 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2824 to set list of supported curves.
2825 [Steve Henson]
2826
2827 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2828 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2829 to print out received values.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2833 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2834 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2835 [Steve Henson]
2836
2837 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2838 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2842 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2843 [Steve Henson]
2844
2845 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2846 certificates.
2847 [Steve Henson]
2848
2849 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2850 the certificate.
2851 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2852 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2853 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2854
2855 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2856
2857 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2858 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2859
2860 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2861
2862 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2863 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2864 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2865 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2866 (CVE-2014-3571)
2867 [Steve Henson]
2868
2869 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2870 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2871 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2872 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2873 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2874 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2875 (CVE-2015-0206)
2876 [Matt Caswell]
2877
2878 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2879 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2880 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2881 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2882 (CVE-2014-3569)
2883 [Kurt Roeckx]
2884
2885 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2886 ECDH ciphersuites.
2887
2888 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2889 reporting this issue.
2890 (CVE-2014-3572)
2891 [Steve Henson]
2892
2893 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2894 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2895 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2896 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2897 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2898 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2899 (CVE-2015-0204)
2900 [Steve Henson]
2901
2902 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2903 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2904 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2905 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2906 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2907 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2908 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2909 this issue.
2910 (CVE-2015-0205)
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2914 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2915
2916 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2917 and can vary with the CTX.
2918 [Adam Langley]
2919
2920 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2921
2922 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2923 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2924 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2925 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2926 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2927
2928 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2929
2930 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2931 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2932
2933 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2934
2935 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2936 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2937 errors for some broken certificates.
2938
2939 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2940
2941 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2942
2943 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2944 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2945
2946 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2947 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2948 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2949 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2950
2951 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2952 of the OpenSSL core team.
2953
2954 (CVE-2014-8275)
2955 [Steve Henson]
2956
2957 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2958 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2959 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2960 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2961 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2962 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2963 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2964 the OpenSSL core team.
2965 (CVE-2014-3570)
2966 [Andy Polyakov]
2967
2968 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2969 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2970 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2971 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2972 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2973
2974 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2975 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2976 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2977 [Emilia Käsper]
2978
2979 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2980 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2981 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2982 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2983 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2984
2985 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2986 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2987 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2988 [Emilia Käsper]
2989
2990 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2991
2992 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2993
2994 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2995 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2996 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2997 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2998 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2999 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3000 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3001
3002 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3003 (CVE-2014-3513)
3004 [OpenSSL team]
3005
3006 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3007
3008 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3009 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3010 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3011 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3012 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3013 attack.
3014 (CVE-2014-3567)
3015 [Steve Henson]
3016
3017 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3018
3019 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3020 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3021 configured to send them.
3022 (CVE-2014-3568)
3023 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3024
3025 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3026 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3027 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3028 (CVE-2014-3566)
3029 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3030
3031 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3032
3033 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3034 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3035 DigestInfo structures.
3036
3037 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.

3039 [Steve Henson]
3040
3041 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3042
3043 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3044 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3045 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3046
3047 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3048 Group for discovering this issue.
3049 (CVE-2014-3512)
3050 [Steve Henson]
3051
3052 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3053 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3054 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3055 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3056 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3057
3058 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3059 researching this issue.
3060 (CVE-2014-3511)
3061 [David Benjamin]
3062
3063 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3064 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3065 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3066 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3067
3068 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3069 issue.
3070 (CVE-2014-3510)
3071 [Emilia Käsper]
3072
3073 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3074 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3075 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3076 (CVE-2014-3507)
3077 [Adam Langley]
3078
3079 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3080 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3081 Denial of Service attack.
3082 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3083 (CVE-2014-3506)
3084 [Adam Langley]
3085
3086 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3087 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3088 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3089 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3090 this issue.
3091 (CVE-2014-3505)
3092 [Adam Langley]
3093
3094 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3095 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3096 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3097
3098 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3099 issue.
3100 (CVE-2014-3509)
3101 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3102
3103 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3104 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3105 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3106 Denial of Service attack.
3107
3108 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3109 discovering and researching this issue.
3110 (CVE-2014-5139)
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3114 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3115 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3116 output to the attacker.
3117
3118 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3119 (CVE-2014-3508)
3120 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3121
3122 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3123 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3124 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3125 [Bodo Moeller]
3126
3127 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3128
3129 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3130 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3131 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3132
3133 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3134 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3135 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3138 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3139 in a DoS attack.
3140
3141 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3142 (CVE-2014-0221)
3143 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3144
3145 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3146 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3147 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3148 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3149
3150 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3151 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3152
3153 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3154 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3155
3156 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3157 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3158 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3159
3160 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3161 compilation flags.
3162 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3163
3164 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3165 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3166 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3167
3168 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3169 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3170
3171 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3172
3173 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3174 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3175 server.
3176
3177 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3178 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3179 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3180 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3181
3182 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3183 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3184 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3185 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3186
3187 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3188 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3189 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3190
3191 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3192
3193 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3194 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3195 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3196 is at least 512 bytes long.
3197
3198 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3199
3200 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3201
3202 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3203 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3204 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3205 (CVE-2013-4353)
3206
3207 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3208 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3209 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3213 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3214 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3215 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3216 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3217 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3218 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3219
3220 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3221
3222 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3223 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3224 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3225
3226 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3227
3228 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3229
3230 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3231 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3232 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3233
3234 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

3238 (CVE-2013-0169)
3239 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3242 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3243 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3244 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3245 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3246 (CVE-2012-2686)
3247 [Adam Langley]
3248
3249 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3250 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3254 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3255
3256 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3257 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3258 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3259 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3260 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3261
3262 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3263 [Steve Henson]
3264
3265 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3266 if renegotiating.
3267 [Steve Henson]
3268
3269 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3270
3271 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3272 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3273
3274 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3275 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3276 (CVE-2012-2333)
3277 [Steve Henson]
3278
3279 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3280 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3281 [Steve Henson]
3282
3283 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3284 approved.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3288
3289 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3290 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3291 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3292 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3293 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3294 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3295 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3296 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3297 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3298 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3299 [Steve Henson]
3300
3301 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3302 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3303 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3304 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3305 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3306 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3307 client side.
3308 [Andy Polyakov]
3309
3310 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3311
3312 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3313 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3314 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3315
3316 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3317 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3318 (CVE-2012-2110)
3319 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3320
3321 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3322 [Adam Langley]
3323
3324 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3325 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3326
3327 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3328 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3329 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3330 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3331 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3332 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3333 Most broken servers should now work.
3334 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3335 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3339 [Andy Polyakov]
3340
3341 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3342
3343 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3344 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3345 [Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3348 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3349 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3350 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3351 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3352 [Steve Henson]
3353
3354 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3355 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3356 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3357 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3358 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3359 [Steve Henson]
3360
3361 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3362 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3363
3364 *) Add support for SCTP.
3365 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3366
3367 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3368 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3369
3370 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3371
3372 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3373 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3374 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3375 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3376 - s390x: z196 support;
3377 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3378
3379 [Andy Polyakov]
3380
3381 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3382 (removal of unnecessary code)
3383 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3384
3385 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3386 [Eric Rescorla]
3387
3388 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3389 [Eric Rescorla]
3390
3391 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3392 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3393 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3394 by Google.
3395 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3396
3397 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3398 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3399 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3400 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3401 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3402
3403 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3404 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3405 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3406
3407 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3408 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3409 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3410
3411 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3412 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3413 implementations).
3414 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3415
3416 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3417 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3418 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3419 [Steve Henson]
3420
3421 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3422 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3423 particular PSS.
3424 [Steve Henson]
3425
3426 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3427 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3428 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3429 [Steve Henson]
3430
3431 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3432 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3433 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3434 the appropriate parameters.
3435 [Steve Henson]
3436
3437 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3438 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3439 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3440 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3441 against a number of sample certificates.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3445 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3446
3447 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3448 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3449
3450 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3451 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3452 parameters r, s.
3453 [Steve Henson]
3454
3455 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3456 RFC3211.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3460 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3461 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3462 password based CMS).
3463 [Steve Henson]
3464
3465 *) Session-handling fixes:
3466 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3467 but also support Session Tickets.
3468 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3469 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3470 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3471 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3472 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3473 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3474
3475 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3476 [Bodo Moeller]
3477
3478 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3479
3480 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3481 [Andy Polyakov]
3482
3483 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3484 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3485 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3486 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3487 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3491 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3492 [Steve Henson]
3493
3494 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3495 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3496 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3497 [Steve Henson]
3498
3499 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3500 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3501 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3502 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3503 [Steve Henson]
3504
3505 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3506 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3507 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3508 [Steve Henson]
3509
3510 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3511 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3512
3513 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3517 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3518 [Steve Henson]
3519
3520 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3521 [Steve Henson]
3522
3523 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3524 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3525 [Steve Henson]
3526
3527 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3528 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3532 [Steve Henson]
3533
3534 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3535 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3536 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3537 [Steve Henson]
3538
3539 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3540 [Steve Henson]
3541
3542 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3543 [Steve Henson]
3544
3545 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3546 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3547 [Steve Henson]
3548
3549 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3550 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3551 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3552 [Steve Henson]
3553
3554 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3555 [Steve Henson]
3556
3557 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3558 and enable MD5.
3559 [Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3562 FIPS modules versions.
3563 [Steve Henson]
3564
3565 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3566 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3567 until after the certificate request message is received.
3568 [Steve Henson]
3569
3570 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3571 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3572 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3573 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3574 [Steve Henson]
3575
3576 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3577 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3578 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3579 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3580 [Steve Henson]
3581
3582 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3583 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3584 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3585 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3586 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3587 and version checking.
3588 [Steve Henson]
3589
3590 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3591 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3592 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3593 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3597 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3598 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3599 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3600 Ben Laurie]
3601
3602 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3603 [Steve Henson]
3604
3605 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3606 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3607 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3608
3609 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3610 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3611 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3612 [Steve Henson]
3613
3614 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3615 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3616
3617 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3618 a few changes are required:
3619
3620 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3621 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3622 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3623 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3624 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3625 [Steve Henson]
3626
3627 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3628
3629 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3630 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3631 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3632 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3633 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3634 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3635 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3636 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3637 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3638 [Steve Henson]
3639
3640 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3641 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3642 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3643 [Steve Henson]
3644
3645 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3646
3647 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3648 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3649 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3650 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3651 [Antonio Martin]
3652
3653 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3654
3655 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3656 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3657 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3658 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3659 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3660 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3661 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3662 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3663 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3664 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3665 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3666 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3667 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3668
3669 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3670 (CVE-2011-4576)
3671 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3672
3673 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3674 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3675 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3676 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3677
3678 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3679 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3680
3681 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3682 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3683 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3684 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3685
3686 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3687 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3688
3689 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3690 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3691
3692 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3693 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3694
3695 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3696 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3697 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3698
3699 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3700 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3701 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3702
3703 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3704 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3705 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3706 the last update always remained unused).
3707 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3708
3709 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3710 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3711
3712 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3713
3714 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3715 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3716 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3717
3718 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3719 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3720 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3721
3722 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3723 [Bodo Moeller]
3724
3725 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3726 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3727 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3731 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3732
3733 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3734
3735 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3736
3737 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3738
3739 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3740 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3741
3742 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3743 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3744 ambiguous.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3748
3749 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3750 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3751 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3752 [Steve Henson]
3753
3754 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3755 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3756 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3757 [Ben Laurie]
3758
3759 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3760
3761 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3762 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3763 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3764 [Steve Henson]
3765
3766 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3767 a DLL.
3768 [Steve Henson]
3769
3770 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3771
3772 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3773 (CVE-2010-1633)
3774 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3775
3776 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3777
3778 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3779 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3780 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3781 [Steve Henson]
3782
3783 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3787 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3788 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3789
3790 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3791 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3792 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3793 [Steve Henson]
3794
3795 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3796 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3797 [Steve Henson]
3798
3799 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3800 some responders need this.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3804 correctly.
3805 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3806
3807 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3808 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3809 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3810 [Steve Henson]
3811
3812 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3813 [Steve Henson]
3814
3815 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3816 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3817 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3818 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3819 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3820 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3821 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3822 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3826 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3827 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3828 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3829
3830 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3831 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3832
3833 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3834 be used on C++.
3835 [Steve Henson]
3836
3837 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3838 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3839 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3840 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3841 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3842 attempting to work them out.
3843 [Steve Henson]
3844
3845 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3846 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3847 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3848 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3852 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3853 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3854 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3855 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3859 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3860 you can do:
3861
3862 openssl sha256 foo
3863
3864 as well as:
3865
3866 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3867
3868 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3869
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3873 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3874
3875 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3876 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3879 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3880 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3881 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3882 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3886 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3887 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3891 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3892 [Steve Henson]
3893
3894 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3895 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3896
3897 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3898 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3899 [Steve Henson]
3900
3901 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3902 [Ben Laurie]
3903
3904 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3905 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3906 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3907 CONF_VALUE.
3908 [Ben Laurie]
3909
3910 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3911 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3912 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3913 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3914 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3915 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3919 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3920
3921 This work was sponsored by Google.
3922 [Steve Henson]
3923
3924 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3925 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3926 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3927 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3928 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3929 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3930 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3931 default.
3932
3933 This work was sponsored by Google.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3937
3938 This work was sponsored by Google.
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3942 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3943 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3944 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3945
3946 This work was sponsored by Google.
3947 [Steve Henson]
3948
3949 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3950 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3951 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3952 CRL functionality in future.
3953
3954 This work was sponsored by Google.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3958
3959 This work was sponsored by Google.
3960 [Steve Henson]
3961
3962 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3963 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3964
3965 This work was sponsored by Google.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3969 and URI types are currently supported.
3970
3971 This work was sponsored by Google.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3975 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3976 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3977 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3978 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3979 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3980 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3981 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3982
3983 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3984 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3985 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3986
3987 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3988 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3989 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3990 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3991
3992 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3993 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3994 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3995 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3996 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3997 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3998 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3999 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4000 of &errno.)
4001 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4002
4003 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4004 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4005 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4006
4007 This work was sponsored by Google.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4011 [Ben Laurie]
4012
4013 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4014 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4015 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4016 [Ben Laurie]
4017
4018 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4019 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4020 [Nick Mathewson]
4021
4022 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4023 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4024 [Ben Laurie]
4025
4026 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4027 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4028 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4029 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4030 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4031 content types and variants.
4032 [Steve Henson]
4033
4034 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4038 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4039 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4040 files from the associated perl scripts.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4044 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4045 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4046
4047 *) s390x assembler pack.
4048 [Andy Polyakov]
4049
4050 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4051 "family."
4052 [Andy Polyakov]
4053
4054 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4055 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4056 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4057 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4058 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4059 to use. For example, specify an option
4060
4061 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4062
4063 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4064 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4065 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4066 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4067 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4068 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4069
4070 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4071 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4072 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4073 return non-zero for success.
4074
4075 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4076 by using
4077
4078 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4079 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4080
4081 where
4082
4083 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4084 void *arg;
4085
4086 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4087 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4088 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4089 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4090 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4091 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4092 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4093 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4094 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4095
4096 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4097 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4098 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4099 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4100 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4101 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4102
4103 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4104 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4105 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4106 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4107 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4108 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4109
4110 [Bodo Moeller]
4111
4112 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4113 MAC.
4114
4115 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4116
4117 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4118 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4119 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4120 supported.
4121
4122 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4123 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4124 SSL_SESSION.
4125
4126 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4127 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4128 with no application modification.
4129
4130 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4131 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4132
4133 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4134 or server extensions to be examined.
4135
4136 This work was sponsored by Google.
4137 [Steve Henson]
4138
4139 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4140 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4141 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4142
4143 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4144 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4145 ciphersuite support.
4146 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4147
4148 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4149 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4150 to output in BER and PEM format.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4154 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4155 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4156 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4157 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4158 [Steve Henson]
4159
4160 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4161 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4162 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4163 utility.
4164 [Steve Henson]
4165
4166 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4167 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4168 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4169 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4170 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4171 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4172 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4173 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4174 enabled again.
4175
4176 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4177 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4178 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4179 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4180
4181 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4182 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4183 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4184 the default order.
4185 [Bodo Moeller]
4186
4187 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4188 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4189 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4190 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4191 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4192 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4193 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4194 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4195 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4196
4197 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4198 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4199 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4200 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4201 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4202 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4203 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4204 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4205 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4206 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4207 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4208 kinds of kludges.
4209
4210 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4211 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4212 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4213
4214 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4215 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4216 "CAMELLIA256".
4217 [Bodo Moeller]
4218
4219 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4220 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4221 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4222 [Nils Larsch]
4223
4224 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4225 it yet and it is largely untested.
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4229 [Nils Larsch]
4230
4231 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4232 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4233 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4237 [Andy Polyakov]
4238
4239 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4240 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4241 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4242 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4246 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4247 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4248 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4249 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4250 [Steve Henson]
4251
4252 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4253 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4254 [Cryptocom]
4255
4256 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4257 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4258 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4259 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4260 [Steve Henson]
4261
4262 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4263 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4264 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4265 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4269 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4270 [Steve Henson]
4271
4272 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4273 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4274 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4275 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4276 [Steve Henson]
4277
4278 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4279 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4280 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4281 [Steve Henson]
4282
4283 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4284 utility.
4285 [Steve Henson]
4286
4287 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4288 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4289 [Steve Henson]
4290
4291 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4292 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4293 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4294 if necessary.
4295 [Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4298 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4299 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4300 [Steve Henson]
4301
4302 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4303 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4304 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4305 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4306 [Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4309 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4310 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4311 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4312 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4313 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4314 [Douglas Stebila]
4315
4316 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4317 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4318 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4319 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4320 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4321
4322 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4323 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4324 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4325 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4326 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4327 protocol).
4328
4329 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4330 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4331 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4332 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4333
4334 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4335 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4336 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4337 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4338 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4339
4340 aECDH - ECDH cert
4341 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4342 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4343
4344 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4345 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4346
4347 [Bodo Moeller]
4348
4349 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4350 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4354 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4355 [Steve Henson]
4356
4357 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4358 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4359 functional reference processing.
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4363 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4364 process.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4368 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4369 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4370 [Steve Henson]
4371
4372 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4373 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4374 application to support multiple signers.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4378 digest MAC.
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4382 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4383 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4384 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4385 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4386 [Steve Henson]
4387
4388 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4389 new API.
4390 [Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4393 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4394 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4395 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4396 a no op.
4397 [Steve Henson]
4398
4399 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4400 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4401 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4402 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4403 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4404 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4405 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4406 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4407 [Steve Henson]
4408
4409 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4410 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4411 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4412 between digests and public key types.
4413 [Steve Henson]
4414
4415 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4416 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4417 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4418 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4419 [Steve Henson]
4420
4421 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4422 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4423 key ASN1 method.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4427 [Steve Henson]
4428
4429 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4430 pkeyutl.
4431 [Steve Henson]
4432
4433 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4434 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4435 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4436 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4437 pkey, genpkey.
4438 [Steve Henson]
4439
4440 *) BeOS support.
4441 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4442
4443 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4444 manual pages.
4445 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4446
4447 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4448 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4449 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4450 functionality for RSA.
4451 [Steve Henson]
4452
4453 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4454 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4455 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4456 [Steve Henson]
4457
4458 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4459 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4460 [Steve Henson]
4461
4462 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4463 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4464 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4465 [Steve Henson]
4466
4467 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4468 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4469 [Douglas Stebila]
4470
4471 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4472 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4473 [Steve Henson]
4474
4475 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4476 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4477 type.
4478 [Steve Henson]
4479
4480 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4481 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4482 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4483 structure.
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4487 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4488 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4489 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4490 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4491 of public and private key structures.
4492 [Steve Henson]
4493
4494 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4495 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4496 [Douglas Stebila]
4497
4498 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4499 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4500 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4501
4502 New ciphersuites:
4503 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4504 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4505
4506 New functions:
4507 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4508 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4509 SSL_get_psk_identity
4510 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4511
4512 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4513
4514 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4515 and response verification functionality.
4516 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4517
4518 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4519 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4520 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4521 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4522 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4523 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4524 server_name extension.
4525
4526 New functions (subject to change):
4527
4528 SSL_get_servername()
4529 SSL_get_servername_type()
4530 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4531
4532 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4533
4534 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4535 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4536 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4537 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4538 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4539
4540 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4541
4542 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4543 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4544 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4545 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4546 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4547 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4548 option.
4549
4550 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4551
4552 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4553 [Andy Polyakov]
4554
4555 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4556 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4557 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4558 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4559 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4560 [Andy Polyakov]
4561
4562 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4563 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4564 macro.
4565 [Bodo Moeller]
4566
4567 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4568 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4569 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4570 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4571 [Andy Polyakov]
4572
4573 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4574 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4575 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4576 using the maximum available value.
4577 [Steve Henson]
4578
4579 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4580 in addition to the text details.
4581 [Bodo Moeller]
4582
4583 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4584 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4585 handle several customised structures at all.
4586 [Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4589 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4590 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4591 [Steve Henson]
4592
4593 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4594 [Steve Henson]
4595
4596 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4597 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4598 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4599 [Steve Henson]
4600
4601 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4602 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4603 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4604 [Nils Larsch]
4605
4606 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4607 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4608 all fields.
4609 [Steve Henson]
4610
4611 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4612 [Steve Henson]
4613
4614 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4615 [NTT]
4616
4617 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4618
4619 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4620 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4621 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4622 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4623 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4624 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4625 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4626 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4627
4628 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4629 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4630 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4631
4632 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4633
4634 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4635 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4636
4637 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4638 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4639 [Bodo Moeller]
4640
4641 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4642 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4643 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4644 [Steve Henson]
4645
4646 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4647 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4648 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4649 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4650 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4651 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4652 [Steve Henson]
4653
4654 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4655 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4656 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4657 [Steve Henson]
4658
4659 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4660 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4661 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4662 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4663 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4664 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4665 CVE-2009-4355.
4666 [Steve Henson]
4667
4668 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4669 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4673 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4674 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4675 [Steve Henson]
4676
4677 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4681 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4682 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4683 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4684 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4685 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4686 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4687 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4688 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4689 [Steve Henson]
4690
4691 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4692 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4693 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4694 [Steve Henson]
4695
4696 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4697 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4698 [Steve Henson]
4699
4700 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4701 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4702 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4703 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4704 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4705 know what you are doing.
4706 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4707
4708 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4709 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4710 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4711 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4712 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4713 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4714 the handshake.
4715 [Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4718 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4719 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4720 correctly.
4721 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4722
4723 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4724 warnings in other configurations.
4725 [Steve Henson]
4726
4727 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4728 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4729 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4730 systems need.
4731 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4732
4733 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4734 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4735 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4736
4737 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4738 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4739 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4740 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4741 [Steve Henson]
4742
4743 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4744 and restored.
4745 [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4748 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4749 clash.
4750 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4751
4752 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4753 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4754 other than a simple chain.
4755 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4756
4757 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4758 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4759 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4760 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4761 [Steve Henson]
4762
4763 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4764 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4765 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4766 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4767 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4768 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4769 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4770 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4771 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4772
4773 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4774 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4775 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4776 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4777 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4778 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4779 (CVE-2009-1377)
4780 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4781
4782 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4783 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4784 [Daniel Mentz]
4785
4786 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4787 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4788
4789 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4790 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4791
4792 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4793
4794 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4795 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4796 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4797 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4798 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4799 you're doing.
4800 [Ben Laurie]
4801
4802 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4803
4804 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4805 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4806 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4807 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4808
4809 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4810 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4811 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4812 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4813
4814 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4815 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4816 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4817 [Steve Henson]
4818
4819 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4820 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4821 level.
4822 [Steve Henson]
4823
4824 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4825 to handle some structures.
4826 [Steve Henson]
4827
4828 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4829 for a '\n'
4830 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4831
4832 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4833 [Matthieu Herrb]
4834
4835 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4836 [Steve Henson]
4837
4838 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4839 [Steve Henson]
4840
4841 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4842 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4843 chosen compiler.
4844 [Ben Laurie]
4845
4846 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4847
4848 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4849 (CVE-2008-5077).
4850 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4851
4852 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4853 [Ben Laurie]
4854
4855 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4856 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4857 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4858 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4859
4860 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4861 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4862
4863 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4864 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4865 [Bodo Moeller]
4866
4867 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4868 s_client and s_server.
4869 [Ben Laurie]
4870
4871 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4872 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4873
4874 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4875 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4876
4877 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4878 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4879 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4880 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4881 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4882 [Bodo Moeller]
4883
4884 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4885
4886 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4887 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4888 [PR #1679]
4889
4890 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4891 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4892 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4893
4894 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4895 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4896 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4897 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4898
4899 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4900 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4901
4902 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4903
4904 *) Various precautionary measures:
4905
4906 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4907
4908 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4909 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4910 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4911
4912 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4913 outside the expected range.
4914
4915 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4916 builds.
4917
4918 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4919
4920 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4921 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4922 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4923
4924 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4925 [Steve Henson]
4926
4927 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4928 [Huang Ying]
4929
4930 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4931
4932 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4933 [Steve Henson]
4934
4935 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4936 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4937 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4938
4939 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4943 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4944 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4945 files.
4946 [Steve Henson]
4947
4948 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4949
4950 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4951 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4952 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4953 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4954
4955 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4956 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4957 [Joe Orton]
4958
4959 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4960
4961 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4962 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4963 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4964
4965 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4966
4967 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4968 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4969 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4970 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4971 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4972
4973 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4974 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4975 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4976 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4977 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4978 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4979 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4980
4981 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4982
4983 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4984 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4985 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4986 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4987 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4988
4989 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4990 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4991
4992 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4993 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4994 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4995 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4996 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4997
4998 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4999
5000 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5001 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5002 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5003 sets may exist with different names.
5004 [Steve Henson]
5005
5006 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5007 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5008 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5009 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5010 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5011 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5012 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5013 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5014 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5015 implementation.
5016 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5017
5018 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5019 implementation in the following ways:
5020
5021 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5022 hard coded.
5023
5024 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5025 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5026 ignored for embedded content.
5027
5028 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5029 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5030 [Steve Henson]
5031
5032 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5033 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5034 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5035 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5036
5037 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5038 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5039 [Steve Henson]
5040
5041 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5042 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5043 [Steve Henson]
5044
5045 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5046 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5047 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5048 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5049 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5050 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5051 data.
5052 [Steve Henson]
5053
5054 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5055 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5056 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5057
5058 *) Netware support:
5059
5060 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5061 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5062 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5063 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5064 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5065 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5066 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5067 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5068 platform
5069 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5070 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5071 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5072 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5073 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5074 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5075 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5076
5077 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5078 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5079 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5080 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5081 to s_client and s_server.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5085
5086 *) Fix various bugs:
5087 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5088 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5089 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5090 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5091 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5092
5093 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5094
5095 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5096 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5097 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5098 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5099 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5100 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5101 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5102 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5103 [Andy Polyakov]
5104
5105 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5106 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5107 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5108 Steve Henson]
5109
5110 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5111 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5112 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5113 supported.
5114
5115 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5116 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5117 SSL_SESSION.
5118
5119 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5120 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5121 with no application modification.
5122
5123 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5124 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5125
5126 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5127 or server extensions to be examined.
5128
5129 This work was sponsored by Google.
5130 [Steve Henson]
5131
5132 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5133 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5134 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5135 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5136 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5137 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5138 server_name extension.
5139
5140 New functions (subject to change):
5141
5142 SSL_get_servername()
5143 SSL_get_servername_type()
5144 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5145
5146 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5147
5148 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5149 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5150 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5151 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5152 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5153
5154 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5155
5156 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5157 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5158 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5159 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5160 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5161 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5162 option.
5163
5164 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5165
5166 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5167 [Steve Henson]
5168
5169 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5170 [Andy Polyakov]
5171
5172 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5173 (which previously caused an internal error).
5174 [Bodo Moeller]
5175
5176 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5177 [Ben Laurie]
5178
5179 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5180 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5181
5182 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5183 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5184 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5185
5186 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5187 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5188 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5189 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5190
5191 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5192 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5193 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5194 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5195
5196 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5197 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5198 information. For detailed background information, see
5199 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5200 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5201 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5202 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5203 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5204 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5205 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5206 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5207 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5208 remove a conditional branch.
5209
5210 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5211 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5212 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5213 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5214 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5215 remains as a deprecated alias.
5216
5217 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5218 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5219 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5220 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5221
5222 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5223 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5224 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5225 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5226 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5227 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5228 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5229 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5230
5231 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5232
5233 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5234 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5235 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5236 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5237 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5238 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5239 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5240 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5241 in a different context.
5242 [Bodo Moeller]
5243
5244 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5245 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5246 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5247 [Bodo Moeller]
5248
5249 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5250 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5251 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5252
5253 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5254
5255 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5256 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5257 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5258 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5259 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5260 [Victor Duchovni]
5261
5262 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5263 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5264 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5265 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5266 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5267 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5268 [Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5271 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5272 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5273 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5274 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5275 [Bodo Moeller]
5276
5277 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5278 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5279
5280 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5281 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5282 Improve header file function name parsing.
5283 [Steve Henson]
5284
5285 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5286 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5287 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5288
5289 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5290
5291 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5292 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5293 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5294
5295 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5296 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5297
5298 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5299 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5300
5301 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5302 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5303 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5304
5305 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5306 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5307 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5308 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5309 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5310 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5311 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5312 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5313 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5314
5315 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5316 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5317 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5318 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5319 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5320
5321 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5322 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5323 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5324 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5325 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5326 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5327 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5328 multiple values to extend the available space.
5329
5330 [Bodo Moeller]
5331
5332 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5333
5334 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5335 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5336
5337 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5338 [Ben Laurie]
5339
5340 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5341 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5342 undesirable limitations.
5343 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5344
5345 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5346 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5347 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5348 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5349 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5350 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5351 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5352 [Bodo Moeller]
5353
5354 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5355
5356 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5357 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5358 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5359
5360 The latter two were purportedly from
5361 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5362 appear there.
5363
5364 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5365 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5366 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5367 [Bodo Moeller]
5368
5369 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5370 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5371 [Bodo Moeller]
5372
5373 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5374 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5375 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5376 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5377
5378 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5379 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5380 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5381 [NTT]
5382
5383 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5384 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5385 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5386 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5387 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5388 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5389 [Steve Henson]
5390
5391 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5392
5393 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5394 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5395 [Steve Henson]
5396
5397 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5398 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5399
5400 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5401 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5402 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5403 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5404 [Douglas Stebila]
5405
5406 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5407 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5408 [Steve Henson]
5409
5410 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5411 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5412 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5413 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5414 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5415 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5416 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5417 can't be loaded.
5418 [Steve Henson]
5419
5420 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5421 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5422 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5423 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5427 under VC++ build system.
5428 [Steve Henson]
5429
5430 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5431 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5432 [Richard Levitte]
5433
5434 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5435
5436 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5437 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5438 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5439 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5440 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5441
5442 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5443 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5444 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5445
5446 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5447 [Steve Henson]
5448
5449 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5450 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5451 [Nils Larsch]
5452
5453 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5454 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5455
5456 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5457 [Nick Mathewson]
5458
5459 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5460 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5461
5462 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5463 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5464 [Steve Henson]
5465
5466 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5467 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5468 smime utility.
5469 [Steve Henson]
5470
5471 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5472
5473 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5474 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5475
5476 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5477 [Richard Levitte]
5478
5479 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5480 key into the same file any more.
5481 [Richard Levitte]
5482
5483 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5484 [Andy Polyakov]
5485
5486 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5487 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5488
5489 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5490 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5491 [Richard Levitte]
5492
5493 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5494 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5495 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5496 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5497 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5498 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5499
5500 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5501 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5502 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5503 [Steve Henson]
5504
5505 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5506 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5507 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5508 - add new function for parameter creation
5509 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5510 BN_BLINDING parameters
5511 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5512 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5513 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5514 threads.
5515 [Nils Larsch]
5516
5517 *) Add support for DTLS.
5518 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5519
5520 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5521 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5522 [Walter Goulet]
5523
5524 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5525 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5526 [Nils Larsch]
5527
5528 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5529 the apps/openssl applications.
5530 [Nils Larsch]
5531
5532 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5533 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5534 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5535 [Ben Laurie]
5536
5537 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5538 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5539
5540 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5541 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5542
5543 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5544 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5545 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5546 avoid this algorithm.)
5547
5548 [Bodo Moeller]
5549
5550 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5551 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5552 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5553 [Richard Levitte]
5554
5555 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5556 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5557 [Andy Polyakov]
5558
5559 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5560 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5561 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5562 pod file:
5563
5564 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5565
5566 The blank line is mandatory.
5567
5568 [Steve Henson]
5569
5570 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5571 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5572 sources.
5573 [Steve Henson]
5574
5575 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5576 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5577
5578 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5579 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5580 to support policy checking and print out.
5581 [Steve Henson]
5582
5583 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5584 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5585 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5586 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5587
5588 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5589 [Geoff Thorpe]
5590
5591 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5592 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5593
5594 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5595 implementation contributed by IBM.
5596 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5597
5598 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5599 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5600 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5601 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5602
5603 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5604 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5605
5606 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5607 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5608 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5609 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5610 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5611 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5612 [Steve Henson]
5613
5614 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5615 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5616 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5617 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5618 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5619 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5620 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5621 [Geoff Thorpe]
5622
5623 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5624 [Steve Henson]
5625
5626 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5627 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5628 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5629 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5630 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5631 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5632 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5633 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5634 [Steve Henson]
5635
5636 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5637 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5638 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5639 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5640 [Steve Henson]
5641
5642 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5643 syntax:
5644
5645 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5646 [Steve Henson]
5647
5648 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5649 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5650 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5651 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5652 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5653 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5654 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5655 [Geoff Thorpe]
5656
5657 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5658 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5659 [Geoff Thorpe]
5660
5661 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5662 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5663 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5667 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5668 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5669 below).
5670 [Geoff Thorpe]
5671
5672 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5673 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5674 [Richard Levitte]
5675
5676 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5677 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5678 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5679 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5680 [Geoff Thorpe]
5681
5682 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5683 initialised value as BN_new().
5684 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5685
5686 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5687 [Steve Henson]
5688
5689 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5690 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5691 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5692 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5693 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5694 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5695 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5696 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5697 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5698 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5699 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5700 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5701 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5702 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5703 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5704
5705 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5706 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5707 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5708 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5709 [Geoff Thorpe]
5710
5711 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5712 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5713 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5714 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5715 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5716 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5717 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5718 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5719 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5720 [Geoff Thorpe]
5721
5722 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5723 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5724 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5725 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5726 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5727 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5728 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5729 [Geoff Thorpe]
5730
5731 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5732 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5733 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5734 these have been updated also.
5735 [Geoff Thorpe]
5736
5737 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5738 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5739 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5740 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5741 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5742 functions.
5743 [Steve Henson]
5744
5745 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5746 structure of type "other".
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5750 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5751 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5752 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5753 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5754 situation in the script.
5755 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5756
5757 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5758 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5759 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5760 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5761 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5762 used as premaster secret.
5763 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5764
5765 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5766 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5767 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5768
5769 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5770 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5771
5772 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5773 control of the error stack.
5774 [Richard Levitte]
5775
5776 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5777 [Richard Levitte]
5778
5779 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5780 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5781 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5782 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5783 [Richard Levitte]
5784
5785 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5786 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5787 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5788 [Richard Levitte]
5789
5790 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5791 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5792 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5793 a memory area.
5794 [Richard Levitte]
5795
5796 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5797 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5798 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5799 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5800 [Richard Levitte]
5801
5802 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5803 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5804 the following flags are defined:
5805
5806 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5807 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5808 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5809 number.
5810
5811 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5812 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5813 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5814 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5815 returns zero.
5816 [Richard Levitte]
5817
5818 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5819 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5820 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5821 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5822 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5823 [Richard Levitte]
5824
5825 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5826 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5827 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5828 [Richard Levitte]
5829
5830 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5831 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5832 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5833 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5834 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5835 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5836 [Richard Levitte]
5837
5838 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5839 req and dirName.
5840 [Steve Henson]
5841
5842 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5843 [Steve Henson]
5844
5845 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5846 [Steve Henson]
5847
5848 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5849 [Steve Henson]
5850
5851 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5852 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5853 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5854 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5855 default implementation more easily.
5856 [Geoff Thorpe]
5857
5858 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5859 in config files.
5860 [Steve Henson]
5861
5862 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5863 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5864 [Richard Levitte]
5865
5866 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5867 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5868 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5869 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5870
5871 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5872 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5873 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5874 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5875 [Steve Henson]
5876
5877 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5878 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5879 to do it.
5880 [Richard Levitte]
5881
5882 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5883 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5884 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5885 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5886 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5887 scalar * generator).
5888 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5889
5890 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5891 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5892 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5893 correctly.
5894 [Steve Henson]
5895
5896 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5897 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5898 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5899 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5900 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5901 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5902 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5903 linker additions, eg;
5904 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5905 [Geoff Thorpe]
5906
5907 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5908 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5909 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5910 [Geoff Thorpe]
5911
5912 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5913 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5914 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5915 via PR#459)
5916 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5917
5918 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5919 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5920 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5921 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5922 [Geoff Thorpe]
5923
5924 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5925 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5926 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5927 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5928 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5929 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5930 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5931 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5932 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5933 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5934
5935 Example for using the new callback interface:
5936
5937 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5938 void *my_arg = ...;
5939 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5940
5941 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5942
5943 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5944 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5945 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5946 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5947 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5948 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5949 */
5950
5951 [Geoff Thorpe]
5952
5953 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5954 available to TLS with the number defined in
5955 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5956 [Richard Levitte]
5957
5958 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5959 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5960
5961 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5962 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5963 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5964 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5965
5966 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5967 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5968
5969 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5970 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5971 well.
5972 [Richard Levitte]
5973
5974 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5975 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5976 [Richard Levitte]
5977
5978 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5979 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5980 and a macro that behave like
5981 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5982
5983 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5984 [Nils Larsch]
5985
5986 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5987 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5988 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5989 if applicable.
5990 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5991
5992 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5993 [Bodo Moeller]
5994
5995 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5996 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5997 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5998 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5999 directory engines/.
6000 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6001 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6002 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6003 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6004 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6005 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6006 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6007 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6008
6009 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6010 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6011 [Richard Levitte]
6012
6013 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6014 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6015
6016 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6017 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6018 files while avoiding the low level API.
6019
6020 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6021 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6022 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6023 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6024
6025 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6026 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6027 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6028 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6029 instead of the low level API.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6033 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6034 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6035 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6036 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6037 PKCS#7 code.
6038
6039 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6040 down to the template encoder.
6041 [Steve Henson]
6042
6043 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6044 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6045 [Bodo Moeller]
6046
6047 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6048 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6049 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6050 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6051
6052 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6053 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6054
6055 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6056 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6057
6058 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6059 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6060 [Bodo Moeller]
6061
6062 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6063 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6064 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6065 [Bodo Moeller]
6066
6067 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6068 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6069
6070 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6071 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6072
6073 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6074 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6075 New EC_METHOD:
6076
6077 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6078
6079 New API functions:
6080
6081 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6082 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6083 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6084 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6085 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6086 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6087
6088 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6089 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6090 enable it).
6091
6092 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6093 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6094 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6095 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6096 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6097 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6098 various internal method names.)
6099
6100 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6101 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6102
6103 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6104 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6105
6106 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6107 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6108
6109 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6110 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6111 methods are undefined.
6112
6113 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6114 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6115
6116 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6117 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6118 length of the modulus.
6119
6120 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6121 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6122
6123 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6124 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6125
6126 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6127 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6128
6129 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6130 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6131 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6132
6133 BN_GF2m_add
6134 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6135 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6136 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6137 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6138 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6139 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6140 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6141 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6142 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6143
6144 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6145 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6146
6147 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6148 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6149 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6150 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6151 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6152 where
6153 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6154 This applies to the following functions:
6155
6156 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6157 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6158 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6159 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6160 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6161 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6162 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6163 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6164 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6165 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6166
6167 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6168
6169 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6170 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6171
6172 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6173
6174 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6175 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6176 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6177 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6178 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6179
6180 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6181 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6182
6183 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6184 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6185 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6186
6187 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6188 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6189
6190 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6191 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6192 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6193 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6194 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6195
6196 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6197 functions
6198 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6199 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6200 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6201 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6202 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6203 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6204 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6205 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6206 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6207 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6208 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6209 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6210
6211 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6212 functions
6213 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6214 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6215 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6216 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6217 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6218
6219 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6220 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6221 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6222 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6223
6224 *) Add functions
6225 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6226 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6227 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6228 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6229 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6230 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6231 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6232
6233 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6234 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6235 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6236 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6237 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6238 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6239 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6240 adding different types of curves.
6241 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6242
6243 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6244 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6245 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6246 [Bodo Moeller]
6247
6248 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6249 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6250
6251 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6252 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6253 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6254 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6255
6256 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6257
6258 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6259 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6260
6261 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6262 library. Most notably,
6263 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6264 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6265 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6266 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6267 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6268 extracted before the specific public key;
6269 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6270 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6271
6272 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6273 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6274 function
6275 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6276 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6277 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6278 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6279 accessed via
6280 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6281 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6282 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6283
6284 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6285 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6286 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6287 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6288 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6289 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6290 differing sizes.
6291 [Richard Levitte]
6292
6293 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6294
6295 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6296 sensitive data.
6297 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6298
6299 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6300 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6301 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6302 [Bodo Moeller]
6303
6304 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6305 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6306 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6307 [Victor Duchovni]
6308
6309 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6310 [Steve Henson]
6311
6312 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6313 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6317 run algorithm test programs.
6318 [Steve Henson]
6319
6320 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6321 [Steve Henson]
6322
6323 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6324 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6325 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6326 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6327 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6328 [Bodo Moeller]
6329
6330 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6331 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6332 [Steve Henson]
6333
6334 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6335
6336 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6337 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6338 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6339
6340 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6341 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6342
6343 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6344 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6345
6346 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6347 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6348 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6349
6350 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6351 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6352 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6353 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6354 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6355 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6356 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6357 [Bodo Moeller]
6358
6359 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6360
6361 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6362 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6363
6364 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6365 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6366 undesirable limitations.
6367 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6368
6369 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6370
6371 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6372 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6373 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6374
6375 The latter two were purportedly from
6376 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6377 appear there.
6378
6379 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6380 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6381 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6382 [Bodo Moeller]
6383
6384 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6385 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6386 [Bodo Moeller]
6387
6388 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6389
6390 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6391 module in FIPS mode.
6392 [Steve Henson]
6393
6394 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6395 [Steve Henson]
6396
6397 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6398 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6399 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6400 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6401 [Steve Henson]
6402
6403 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6404
6405 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6406 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6407 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6408 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6409 the difference induced by this change.
6410 [Andy Polyakov]
6411
6412 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6413
6414 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6415 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6416 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6417 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6418 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6419
6420 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6421 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6422 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6423
6424 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6425 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6429 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6430 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6431 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6432 biased k.)
6433 [Bodo Moeller]
6434
6435 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6436 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6437 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6438 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6439 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6440
6441 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6442 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6443 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6444 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6445 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6446 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6447
6448 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6449
6450 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6451 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6452 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6453 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6454 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6455 [Bodo Moeller]
6456
6457 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6458 clients need.
6459 [Steve Henson]
6460
6461 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6462 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6463 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6464 [Steve Henson]
6465
6466 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6467 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6468 structures constant.
6469 [Steve Henson]
6470
6471 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6472
6473 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6474 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6475
6476 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6477 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6478 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6479 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6480 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6481 some needed definitions.
6482 [Steve Henson]
6483
6484 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6485 [Ulf Möller]
6486
6487 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6488 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6489 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6490 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6491 [Richard Levitte]
6492
6493 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6494
6495 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6496 server and client random values. Previously
6497 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6498 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6499
6500 This change has negligible security impact because:
6501
6502 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6503 data.
6504
6505 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6506 handshake.
6507
6508 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6509 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6510 values.
6511
6512 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6513 to our attention.
6514
6515 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6516
6517 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6518 [Ulf Möller]
6519
6520 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6521 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6522 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6523
6524 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6525 [Steve Henson]
6526
6527 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6528 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6529 [Andy Polyakov]
6530
6531 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6532 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6533 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6534
6535 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6536 [Steve Henson]
6537
6538 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6539 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6540 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6541 certificates.
6542 [Steve Henson]
6543
6544 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6545 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6546 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6547 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6548
6549 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6550 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6551 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6552 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6553 been given)
6554 [Richard Levitte]
6555
6556 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6557
6558 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6559 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6560 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6561 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6562 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6563 [Steve Henson]
6564
6565 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6566 [Steve Henson]
6567
6568 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6569 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6570
6571 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6572 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6573 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6574 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6575 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6576 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6577 rather than being initialized to 1.
6578 [Steve Henson]
6579
6580 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6581
6582 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6583 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6584 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6585
6586 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6587 (CVE-2004-0112)
6588 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6589
6590 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6591 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6592 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6593 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6594 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6595 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6596 [Richard Levitte]
6597
6598 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6599 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6600 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6601 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6602 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6603 for these cases.
6604 [Steve Henson]
6605
6606 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6607 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6608 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6609 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6610 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6614 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6615 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6616 < 0.9.7.
6617 [Steve Henson]
6618
6619 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6620 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6621
6622 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6623 [Steve Henson]
6624
6625 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6626
6627 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6628
6629 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6630 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6631
6632 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6633
6634 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6635 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6636
6637 [Steve Henson]
6638
6639 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6640 exiting on the first error in a request.
6641 [Steve Henson]
6642
6643 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6644 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6645 specifications.
6646 [Steve Henson]
6647
6648 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6649 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6650 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6651 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6652
6653 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6654 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6655 [Richard Levitte]
6656
6657 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6658 blocks during encryption.
6659 [Richard Levitte]
6660
6661 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6662 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6663 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6664 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6665 certain size.
6666 [Steve Henson]
6667
6668 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6669 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6670 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6671 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6672 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6673 parser.
6674 [Steve Henson]
6675
6676 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6677
6678 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6679 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6680 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6681 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6682 [Bodo Moeller]
6683
6684 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6685 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6686 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6687 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6688 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6689
6690 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6691 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6692 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6693 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6694 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6695 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6696 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6697 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6698 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6699 [Bodo Moeller]
6700
6701 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6702 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6703 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6704 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6705 [Geoff Thorpe]
6706
6707 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6708 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6709 [Ulf Moeller]
6710
6711 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6712
6713 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6714 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6715 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6716 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6717 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6718
6719 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6720 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6721 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6722
6723 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6724 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6725 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6726 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6727 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6728
6729 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6730 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6731 used by default when no-err is given.
6732 [Richard Levitte]
6733
6734 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6735 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6736
6737 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6738 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6739 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6740 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6741 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6742
6743 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6744 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6745 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6746 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6747
6748 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6749
6750 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6751
6752 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6753
6754 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6755 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6756 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6757 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6758 root is omitted).
6759 [Steve Henson]
6760
6761 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6762 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6763
6764 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6765 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6766 [Steve Henson]
6767
6768 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6769 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6770 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6771 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6772 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6773
6774 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6775 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6776 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6777 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6778 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6779 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6780 followup to PR #377.
6781 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6782
6783 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6784 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6785 [Andy Polyakov]
6786
6787 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6788 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6789 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6790 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6791
6792 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6793
6794 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6795 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6796
6797 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6798 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6799 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6800 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6801 client and server.
6802 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6803 PR #377.
6804 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6805
6806 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6807 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6808 removed entirely.
6809 [Richard Levitte]
6810
6811 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6812 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6813 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6814 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6815 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6816 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6817 of libcrypto.
6818 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6819 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6820 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6821 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6822 have to be made anyway).
6823 [Richard Levitte]
6824
6825 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6826 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6827 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6828 [Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6831 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6832 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6833 [Richard Levitte]
6834
6835 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6836 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6837 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6838
6839 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6840 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6841 edit numbers of the version.
6842 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6843
6844 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6845 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6846 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6847
6848 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6849 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6850
6851 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6852 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6853 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6854
6855 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6856 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6857
6858 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6859 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6860
6861 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6862 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6863
6864 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6865 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6866
6867 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6868 overflows.
6869 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6870
6871 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6872 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6873 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6874
6875 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6876 representations in a platform independent manner.
6877 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6878
6879 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6880 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6881 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6882
6883 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6884 indents.
6885 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6886
6887 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6888 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6889
6890 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6891 full. Fixed.
6892 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6893
6894 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6895 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6896 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6897
6898 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6899 unconditionally).
6900 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6901
6902 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6903 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6904
6905 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6906 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6907
6908 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6909 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6910
6911 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6912 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6913
6914 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6915 CBCParameter.
6916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6917
6918 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6920
6921 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6922 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6923
6924 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6925 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6926 exploitable.
6927 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6928
6929 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6930 the 0.9.6 release series:
6931
6932 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6933 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6934 (CVE-2002-0657)
6935 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6936
6937 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6938 [Richard Levitte]
6939
6940 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6941 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6942
6943 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6944 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6945
6946 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6947 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6948 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6949 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6950
6951 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6952 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6953 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6954
6955 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6956 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6957 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6958 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6959
6960 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6961 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6962 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6963 some local tweaks:
6964
6965 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6966 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6967 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6968 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6969 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6970 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6971 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6972 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6973 done
6974
6975 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6976 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6977 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6978 [Richard Levitte]
6979
6980 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6981 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6982 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6983 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6984 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6985
6986 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6987 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6988
6989 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6990 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6991 [Richard Levitte]
6992
6993 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6994 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6995 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6996 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6997 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6998 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6999 [Steve Henson]
7000
7001 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7002 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7003 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7004 [Steve Henson]
7005
7006 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7007 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7008 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7009
7010 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7011 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7012 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7013 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7014 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7015 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7016 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7017 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7018
7019 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7020 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7021 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7022 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7023 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7024 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7025 [Steve Henson]
7026
7027 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7028 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7029 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7030 declaration has been changed from
7031 int (*cb)()
7032 into
7033 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7034 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7035 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7036 has been changed into
7037 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7038
7039 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7040 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7041 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7042
7043 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7044 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7045
7046 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7047 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7048 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7049 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7050 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7051 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7052 always load it have also been added.
7053 [Steve Henson]
7054
7055 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7056 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7057 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7058
7059 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7060
7061 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7062 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7063 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7064
7065 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7066 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7067 command line option can be used to specify an
7068 alternative file.
7069 [Steve Henson]
7070
7071 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7072 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7073 [Steve Henson]
7074
7075 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7076 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7077 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7078 [Steve Henson]
7079
7080 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7081 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7082 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7083 to work with the new engine framework.
7084 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7085
7086 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7087 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7088 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7089 to work with the new engine framework.
7090 [Richard Levitte]
7091
7092 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7093 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7094 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7095
7096 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7097 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7098
7099 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7100 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7101 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7102 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7103 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7104 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7105
7106 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7107 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7108
7109 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7110 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7111
7112 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7113 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7114 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7115 [Ben Laurie]
7116
7117 *) Add new functions
7118 ERR_peek_last_error
7119 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7120 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7121 These are similar to
7122 ERR_peek_error
7123 ERR_peek_error_line
7124 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7125 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7126 still in the error queue.
7127 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7128
7129 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7130 like:
7131 default_algorithms = ALL
7132 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7133 [Steve Henson]
7134
7135 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7136 [Steve Henson]
7137
7138 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7139 [Steve Henson]
7140
7141 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7142 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7143 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7144 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7145
7146 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7147 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7148
7149 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7150 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7151
7152 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7153 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7154 [Bodo Moeller]
7155
7156 *) New functions/macros
7157
7158 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7159 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7160 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7161 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7162
7163 to request calling a callback function
7164
7165 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7166 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7167
7168 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7169 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7170 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7171 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7172 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7173 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7174 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7175 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7176 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7177 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7178
7179 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7180 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7181 [Bodo Moeller]
7182
7183 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7184 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7185 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7186 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7187 the configuration scripts.
7188
7189 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7190 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7191 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7192
7193 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7194 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7195
7196 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7197 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7198 when reusing an existing buffer.
7199 [Bodo Moeller]
7200
7201 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7202 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7203 [Steve Henson]
7204
7205 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7206 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7207 [Ben Laurie]
7208
7209 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7210 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7211 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7212 has the same effect.
7213 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7214
7215 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7216 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7217 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7218 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7219 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7220 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7221 exception.
7222
7223 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7224 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7225 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7226 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7227
7228 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7229 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7230 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7231 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7232
7233 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7234 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7235 won't work.
7236
7237 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7238 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7239 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7240 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7241 default), and then completely removed.
7242 [Richard Levitte]
7243
7244 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7245 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7246 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7247 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7248 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7249 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7250 particular extension is supported.
7251 [Steve Henson]
7252
7253 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7254 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7258 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7259 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7260 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7261 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7262 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7263 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7264 requires the destination to be valid.
7265
7266 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7267 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7271 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7272 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7273 [Bodo Moeller]
7274
7275 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7276 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7277
7278 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7279 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7280 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7281 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7282 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7283 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7284 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7285 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7286 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7287 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7288 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7289 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7290 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7291 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7292 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7293 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7294 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7295 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7296 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7297 the new code.
7298 [Geoff Thorpe]
7299
7300 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7304 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7305 become part of libeay.num as well.
7306 [Richard Levitte]
7307
7308 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7309 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7310 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7311 false once a handshake has been completed.
7312 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7313 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7314 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7315 client has followed the request.)
7316 [Bodo Moeller]
7317
7318 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7319 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7320 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7321 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7322
7323 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7324 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7325 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7326 [Bodo Moeller]
7327
7328 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7329 [Steve Henson]
7330
7331 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7332 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7333 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7334 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7335
7336 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7337 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7339
7340 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7341 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7342 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7343 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7344 [Geoff Thorpe]
7345
7346 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7347 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7348 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7349 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7350 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7351 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7352 [Geoff Thorpe]
7353
7354 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7355 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7356 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7357 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7358 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7359 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7360 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7361 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7362 [Geoff Thorpe]
7363
7364 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7365 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7366 [Geoff Thorpe]
7367
7368 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7369 [Ben Laurie]
7370
7371 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7372 md_data void pointer.
7373 [Ben Laurie]
7374
7375 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7376 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7377 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7378 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7379 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7380 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7381 [Ben Laurie]
7382
7383 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7384 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7385 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7386 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7387 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7388 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7389 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7390 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7391 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7392 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7393 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7394 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7395 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7396 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7397 rather than letting it slide.
7398
7399 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7400 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7401 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7402 [Geoff Thorpe]
7403
7404 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7405 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7406 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7407 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7408 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7409 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7410 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7411 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7412 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7413 [Geoff Thorpe]
7414
7415 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7416 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7417 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7418 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7419 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7420
7421 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7422 [Geoff Thorpe]
7423
7424 *) Add EVP test program.
7425 [Ben Laurie]
7426
7427 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7428 [Ben Laurie]
7429
7430 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7431 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7432 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7433 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7434 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7435 [Steve Henson]
7436
7437 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7438 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7439 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7440 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7441 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7442 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7443 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7444
7445 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7446 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7447 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7448 Usage example:
7449
7450 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7451
7452 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7453 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7454 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7455 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7456 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7457
7458 [Ben Laurie]
7459
7460 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7461 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7462 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7463 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7464 anyway): E.g.,
7465
7466 des_key_schedule ks;
7467
7468 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7469 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7470
7471 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7472 [Ben Laurie]
7473
7474 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7475 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7476 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7477 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7478 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7479 functions prevents this.
7480 [Steve Henson]
7481
7482 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7483 [Ben Laurie]
7484
7485 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7486 correct _ecb suffix.
7487 [Ben Laurie]
7488
7489 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7490 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7491 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7492 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7493 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7494 [Steve Henson]
7495
7496 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7497 [Richard Levitte]
7498
7499 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7500 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7501 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7502 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7503
7504 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7505 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7506
7507 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7508 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7509 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7510 via Richard Levitte]
7511
7512 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7513 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7514 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7515 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7516 [Geoff Thorpe]
7517
7518 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7519 Before:
7520 encrypt
7521 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7522 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

7534 [Ben Laurie]
7535
7536 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7537 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7538
7539 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7540 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7541 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7542 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7543 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7544 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7545 [Steve Henson]
7546
7547 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7548 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7549 [Richard Levitte]
7550
7551 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7552 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7553 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7554 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7555
7556 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7557 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7558 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7559 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7560 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7561 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7562 callback.
7563 [Richard Levitte]
7564
7565 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7566 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7567 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7568 and interrupts/cancellations.
7569 [Richard Levitte]
7570
7571 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7572 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7573 [Steve Henson]
7574
7575 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7576 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7577 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7578
7579 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7580 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7581 kind of callback.
7582 [Richard Levitte]
7583
7584 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7585 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7586 than this minimum value is recommended.
7587 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7588
7589 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7590 that are easily reachable.
7591 [Richard Levitte]
7592
7593 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7594 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7595
7596 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7597
7598 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7599 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7600 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7601 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7605 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7606 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7607 [Steve Henson]
7608
7609 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7610 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7611 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7612 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7613 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7614 internally such as S/MIME.
7615
7616 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7617 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7618 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7619
7620 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7621 applications.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7625 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7626 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7627 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7628
7629 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7630
7631 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7632
7633 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7634 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7635 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7636 handling.
7637 [Steve Henson]
7638
7639 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7640 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7641 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7642 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7643 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7644 a window system and the like.
7645 [Richard Levitte]
7646
7647 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7648 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7649 [Geoff]
7650
7651 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7652 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7653 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7654 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7655 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7656 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7657 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7658 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7659 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7660 ENGINE structure.
7661 [Geoff]
7662
7663 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7664 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7665 tag cache.
7666 [Steve Henson]
7667
7668 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7669 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7670 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7671 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7672 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7673 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7674 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7675 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7676 [Geoff]
7677
7678 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7679 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7680 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7681 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7682 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7683 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7684 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7685 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7686 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7687 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7688 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7689 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7690 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7691 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7692 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7693 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7694 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7695 [Geoff]
7696
7697 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7698 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7699 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7700 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7701 internal engine_int.h header.
7702 [Geoff]
7703
7704 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7705 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7706 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7707 modify their own ones).
7708 [Geoff]
7709
7710 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7711 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7712 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7713 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7714 later on via ctrl() commands.
7715 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7716 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7717 structural references.
7718 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7719 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7720 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7721 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7722 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7723 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7724 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7725 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7726 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7727 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7728 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7729 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7730 [Geoff]
7731
7732 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7733 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7734 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7735 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7736 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7737 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7738 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7739 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7740 [Bodo Moeller]
7741
7742 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7743 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7744 [Steve Henson]
7745
7746 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7747 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7748 [Steve Henson]
7749
7750 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7751 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7752 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7753 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7754 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7755 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7756 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7760 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7761 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7762 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7763 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7764
7765 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7766 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7767 generator).
7768 [Bodo Moeller]
7769
7770 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7771
7772 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7773 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7774 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7775
7776 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7777 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7778
7779 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7780 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7781 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7782
7783 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7784 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7785
7786 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7787 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7788
7789 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7790
7791 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7792 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7793 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7794 [Bodo Moeller]
7795
7796 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7797 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7798 [Richard Levitte]
7799
7800 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7801 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7802 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7803 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7804 is 40 of more characters long.
7805 [Steve Henson]
7806
7807 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7808 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7809 pointers.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7813 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7814 [Bodo Moeller]
7815
7816 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7817 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7818 might.
7819 [Steve Henson]
7820
7821 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7822
7823 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7824 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7825
7826 ASN1 error codes
7827 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7828 ...
7829 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7830 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7831 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7832 ...
7833 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7834 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7835
7836 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7837 [Bodo Moeller]
7838
7839 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7840 suffices.
7841 [Bodo Moeller]
7842
7843 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7844 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7845 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7846 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7847 and
7848 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7849
7850 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7851 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7852
7853 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7854 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7855 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7856 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7857 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7858 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7859
7860 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7861 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7862
7863 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7864 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7865
7866 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7867 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7868
7869 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7870 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7871 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7872 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7873
7874 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7875 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7876
7877 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7878 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7879
7880 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7881 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7882 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7883 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7884 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7885 [Richard Levitte]
7886
7887 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7888 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7889 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7890 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7891 [Steve Henson]
7892
7893 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7894 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7895 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7896 trust settings.
7897 [Steve Henson]
7898
7899 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7900 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7901 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7902 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7903 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7904 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7905 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7906 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7907 ocsp utility.
7908 [Steve Henson]
7909
7910 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7911 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7912 [Steve Henson]
7913
7914 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7915 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7916 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7917 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7918 [Steve Henson]
7919
7920 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7921 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7922 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7923 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7924 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7925 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7926 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7927 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7928 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7929 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7930 [Steve Henson]
7931
7932 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7933 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7934 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7935 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7936 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7937 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7938 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7939 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7940
7941 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7942 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7943 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7944 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7945 [Richard Levitte]
7946
7947 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7948 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7949 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7950 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7951 opensslconf.h.
7952 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7953 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7954 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7955 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7956 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7957 what is available.
7958 [Richard Levitte]
7959
7960 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7961 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7962 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7963 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7964 auto incremented.
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7968 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7969 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7970 [Steve Henson]
7971
7972 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7973 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7974 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7975 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7976 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7977 [Steve Henson]
7978
7979 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7980 [Steve Henson]
7981
7982 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7983 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7984 option to ocsp utility.
7985 [Steve Henson]
7986
7987 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7988 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7989 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7990 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7991 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7992 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7993 the request is nonce-less.
7994 [Steve Henson]
7995
7996 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7997 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7998 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7999 [Bodo Moeller]
8000
8001 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8002 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8003 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8004 [Steve Henson]
8005
8006 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8007 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8008 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8009 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8010 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8011 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8012
8013 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8014 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8015 appear to exist.
8016 [Steve Henson]
8017
8018 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8019 additional certificates supplied.
8020 [Steve Henson]
8021
8022 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8023 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8024 signature against.
8025 [Richard Levitte]
8026
8027 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8028 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8029 AES OIDs.
8030
8031 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8032 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8033 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8034 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8035 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8036 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8037 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8038 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8039 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8040
8041 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8042 request to response.
8043 [Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8046 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8047 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8048 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8049 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8050 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8051 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8052 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8053 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8054 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8055 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8056 [Steve Henson]
8057
8058 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8059 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8060 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8061 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8062 [Steve Henson]
8063
8064 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8065 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8066
8067 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8068 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8069 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8070 [Steve Henson]
8071
8072 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8073 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8074 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8075 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8076 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8077
8078 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8079 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8080 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8081 [Steve Henson]
8082
8083 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8084 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8085 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8086 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8087 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8088 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8089 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8090 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8091
8092 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8093 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8094 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8095 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8096 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8097 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8098 [Steve Henson]
8099
8100 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8101 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8102 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8103 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8104 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8105 printout format cleaned up.
8106 [Steve Henson]
8107
8108 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8109 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8110 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8111 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8112 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8113 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8114 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8115 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8116 [Steve Henson]
8117
8118 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8119 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8120 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8121 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8122 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8123 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8124 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8125 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8126 [Steve Henson]
8127
8128 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8129 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8130 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8131 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8132 section to use.
8133 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8134
8135 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8136 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8137 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8138 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8139 [Steve Henson]
8140
8141 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8142 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8143 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8144 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8145 in the index file.
8146 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8147
8148 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8149 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8150 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8151 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8152
8153 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8154 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8155
8156 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8157 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8158 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8159 [Steve Henson]
8160
8161 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8162 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8163 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8164 [Bodo Moeller]
8165
8166 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8167 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8168 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8169 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8170 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8171 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8172 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8173 functions are provided:
8174
8175 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8176 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8177 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8178 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8179
8180 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8181 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8182 extended allocation function is enabled.
8183 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8184 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8185 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8186
8187 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8188 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8189 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8190 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8191 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8192 [Geoff Thorpe]
8193
8194 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8195 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8196 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8197 be queried.
8198 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8199 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8200 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8201 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8202
8203 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8204 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8205 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8206 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8207 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8208 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8209 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8210 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8211 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8212 [Richard Levitte]
8213
8214 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8215 provide utility functions which an application needing
8216 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8217 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8218 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8219
8220 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8221 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8222 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8223 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8224 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8225 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8226 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8227 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8228 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8229
8230 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8231 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8232 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8233 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8234 [Steve Henson]
8235
8236 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8237 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8238 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8239 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8240 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8241 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8242 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8243 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8244 will be added elsewhere.
8245 [Steve Henson]
8246
8247 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8248 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8249 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8250 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8251 [Steve Henson]
8252
8253 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8254 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8255 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8256 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8257 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8258 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8259 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8260 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8261 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8262 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8263 to produce the required SET OF.
8264 [Steve Henson]
8265
8266 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8267 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8268 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8269 [Richard Levitte]
8270
8271 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8272 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8273 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8274 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8275 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8276 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8277 [Steve Henson]
8278
8279 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8280 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8281 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8282 [Steve Henson]
8283
8284 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8285 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8286 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8287 [Richard Levitte]
8288
8289 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8290 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8291 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8292 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8293 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8294 [Steve Henson]
8295
8296 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8297 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8298 [Steve Henson]
8299
8300 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8301 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8302 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8303 certificates and CRLs.
8304 [Steve Henson]
8305
8306 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8307 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8308 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8309 [Steve Henson]
8310
8311 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8312 entries for variables.
8313 [Steve Henson]
8314
8315 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8316 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8317 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8318 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8319 [Bodo Moeller]
8320
8321 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8322 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8323 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8324 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8325 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8326 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8327 [Bodo Moeller]
8328
8329 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8330 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8331
8332 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8333 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8334 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8335 [Steve Henson]
8336
8337 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8338 print routines.
8339 [Steve Henson]
8340
8341 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8342 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8343 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8344 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8345 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8346 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8347 [Steve Henson]
8348
8349 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8350 [Steve Henson]
8351
8352 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8353 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8354 for now but they will eventually go away.
8355 [Steve Henson]
8356
8357 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8358 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8359 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8360 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8361 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8362 has also been converted to the new form.
8363 [Steve Henson]
8364
8365 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8366 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8367 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8368 for negative moduli.
8369 [Bodo Moeller]
8370
8371 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8372 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8373 [Bodo Moeller]
8374
8375 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8376 set.
8377 [Bodo Moeller]
8378
8379 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8380 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8381 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8382 type-specific callbacks.
8383 [Geoff Thorpe]
8384
8385 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8386 RFC 2712.
8387 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8388 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8389
8390 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8391 in sections depending on the subject.
8392 [Richard Levitte]
8393
8394 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8395 Windows.
8396 [Richard Levitte]
8397
8398 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8399 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8400 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8401 be handled deterministically).
8402 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8403
8404 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8405 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8406 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8407 [Bodo Moeller]
8408
8409 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8410 [Bodo Moeller]
8411
8412 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8413 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8414 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8415 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8416 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8417 [Bodo Moeller]
8418
8419 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8420 sign of the number in question.
8421
8422 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8423
8424 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8425 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8426 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8427 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8428 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8429 [Bodo Moeller]
8430
8431 *) New function BN_swap.
8432 [Bodo Moeller]
8433
8434 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8435 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8436 results on negative inputs.
8437 [Bodo Moeller]
8438
8439 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8440 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8441 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8442 [Bodo Moeller]
8443
8444 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8445 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8446 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8447 and add new functions:
8448
8449 BN_nnmod
8450 BN_mod_sqr
8451 BN_mod_add
8452 BN_mod_add_quick
8453 BN_mod_sub
8454 BN_mod_sub_quick
8455 BN_mod_lshift1
8456 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8457 BN_mod_lshift
8458 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8459
8460 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8461
8462 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8463 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8464
8465 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8466 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8467 be reduced modulo m.
8468 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8469
8470 #if 0
8471 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8472 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8473 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8474
8475 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8476 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8477 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8478 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8479 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8480 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8481 differing sizes.
8482 [Richard Levitte]
8483 #endif
8484
8485 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8486 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8487 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8488 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8489 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8490
8491 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8492 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8493 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8494 cause any problems.
8495 [Bodo Moeller]
8496
8497 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8498 [Richard Levitte]
8499
8500 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8501 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8502 [Richard Levitte]
8503
8504 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8505 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8506 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8507 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8508 time)
8509 [Richard Levitte]
8510
8511 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8512 [Richard Levitte]
8513
8514 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8515 [Richard Levitte]
8516
8517 *) Add the following functions:
8518
8519 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8520 ENGINE_load_chil()
8521 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8522 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8523 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8524
8525 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8526 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8527 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8528 libraries unless it's really needed.
8529
8530 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8531 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8532 declarations (they differed!).
8533 [Richard Levitte]
8534
8535 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8536 [Richard Levitte]
8537
8538 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8539 [Richard Levitte]
8540
8541 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8542 [Bodo Moeller]
8543
8544 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8545 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8546 [Richard Levitte]
8547
8548 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8549 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8550 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8551
8552 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8553 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8554 [Richard Levitte]
8555
8556 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8557 [Richard Levitte]
8558
8559 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8560 [Richard Levitte]
8561
8562 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8563 [Ben Laurie]
8564
8565 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8566 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8567 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8568
8569 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8570 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8571 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8572 different shared library filenames on each system.
8573 [Geoff Thorpe]
8574
8575 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8576 [Richard Levitte]
8577
8578 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8579 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8580 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8581 of two sections.
8582 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8583
8584 *) NCONF changes.
8585 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8586 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8587 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8588 binary backward compatibility.
8589 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8590 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8591 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8592 LDAP server.
8593 [Richard Levitte]
8594
8595 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8596 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8597 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8598 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8599 this case.
8600 [Steve Henson]
8601
8602 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8603 [Ben Laurie]
8604
8605 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8606 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8607 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8608 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8609 set.
8610 [Steve Henson]
8611
8612 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8613 [Richard Levitte]
8614
8615 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8616
8617 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8618 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8619 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8620
8621 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8622
8623 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8624
8625 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8626 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8627 [Steve Henson]
8628
8629 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8630
8631 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8632
8633 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8634 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8635
8636 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8637 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8638
8639 [Steve Henson]
8640
8641 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8642 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8643 specifications.
8644 [Steve Henson]
8645
8646 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8647 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8648 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8649 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8650
8651 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8652 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8653 [Richard Levitte]
8654
8655 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8656
8657 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8658 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8659 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8660 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8661 [Bodo Moeller]
8662
8663 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8664 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8665 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8666 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8667 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8668
8669 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8670 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8671 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8672 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8673 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8674 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8675 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8676 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8677 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8678 [Bodo Moeller]
8679
8680 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8681
8682 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8683 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8684 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8685 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8686 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8687
8688 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8689 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8690 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8691
8692 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8693
8694 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8695 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8696 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8697 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8698 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8699 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8700 [Geoff Thorpe]
8701
8702 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8703 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8704 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8705 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8706 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8707 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8708
8709 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8710 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8711 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8712
8713 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8714 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8715 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8716 EVP_cleanup().
8717 [Richard Levitte]
8718
8719 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8720 being properly terminated.
8721 [Richard Levitte]
8722
8723 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8724 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8725 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8726 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8727
8728 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8729 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8730 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8731 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8732 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8733 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8734 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8735 change.
8736 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8737
8738 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8739 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8740 [Bodo Moeller]
8741
8742 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8743 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8744 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8745 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8746 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8747 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8748 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8749 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8750
8751 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8752 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8753 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8754 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8755 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8756
8757 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8758 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8759 [Steve Henson]
8760
8761 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8762
8763 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8764 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8765 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8766
8767 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8768
8769 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8770 and get fix the header length calculation.
8771 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8772 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8773 Steve Henson]
8774
8775 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8776 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8777 assertions could call abort()).
8778 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8779
8780 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8781
8782 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8783 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8784 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8785 supplied buffer.
8786 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8787
8788 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8789 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8790 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8791 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8792
8793 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8794 [Nils Larsch]
8795
8796 *) New option
8797 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8798 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8799 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8800
8801 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8802 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8803 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8804 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8805 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8806 applications.
8807 [Bodo Moeller]
8808
8809 *) Changes in security patch:
8810
8811 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8812 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8813 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8814 F30602-01-2-0537.
8815
8816 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8817 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8818 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8819 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8820 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8821
8822 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8823 happen in practice.
8824 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8825
8826 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8827 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8828 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8829
8830 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8831 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8832 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8833
8834 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8835 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8836 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8837
8838 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8839
8840 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8841 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8842 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8843
8844 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8845 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8846
8847 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8848 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8849 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8850 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8851 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8852 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8853 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8854
8855 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8856 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8857 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8858 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8859 [Bodo Moeller]
8860
8861 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8862 [Bodo Moeller]
8863
8864 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8865 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8866 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8867 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8868 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8869 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8870
8871 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8872 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8873 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8874 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8875 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8876 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8877
8878 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8879 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8880 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8881 BN_generate_prime().)
8882
8883 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8884 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8885 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8886 better.
8887 [Bodo Moeller]
8888
8889 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8890 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8891 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8892
8893 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8894 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8895 when using non-blocking I/O.
8896 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8897
8898 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8899 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8900
8901 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8902 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8903 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8904
8905 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8906 configuration for the versions before that.
8907 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8908
8909 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8910 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8911 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8912 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8913 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8914
8915 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8916 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8917 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8918 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8919
8920 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8921 value is 0.
8922 [Richard Levitte]
8923
8924 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8925 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8926 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8927
8928 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8929 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8930
8931 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8932 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8933 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8934 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8935 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8936 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8937 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8938 session cache.
8939
8940 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8941 using a local variable.
8942 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8943
8944 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8945 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8946 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8947
8948 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8949 [Richard Levitte]
8950
8951 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8952 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8953
8954 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8955 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8956 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8957
8958 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8959
8960 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8961 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8962 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8963 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8964 [Bodo Moeller]
8965
8966 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8967 present.
8968 [Steve Henson]
8969
8970 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8971 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8972 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8973 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8974 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8975
8976 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8977 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8978 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8979
8980 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8981 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8982 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8983
8984 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8985 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8986 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8987 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8988
8989 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8990 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8991 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8992 modules).
8993 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8994
8995 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8996 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8997 from 0.9.7.
8998 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8999
9000 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9001 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9002 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9003 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9004
9005 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9006 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9007 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9008 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9009
9010 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9011 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9012
9013 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9014 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9015 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9016 [Bodo Moeller]
9017
9018 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9019 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9020 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9021 become invalid.
9022 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9023
9024 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9025 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9026 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9027 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9028 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9029 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9030 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9031 [Bodo Moeller]
9032
9033 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9034 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9035 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9036 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9037
9038 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9039 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9040 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9041 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9042 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9043 the client will at least see that alert.
9044 [Bodo Moeller]
9045
9046 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9047 correctly.
9048 [Bodo Moeller]
9049
9050 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9051 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9052 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9053
9054 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9055 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9056 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9057 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9058 HelloRequest.
9059
9060 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9061 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9062 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9063
9064 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9065 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9066 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9067 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9068 may leak via logfiles.)
9069
9070 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9071 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9072 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9073 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9074 the legal range.
9075 [Bodo Moeller]
9076
9077 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9078 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9079 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9080
9081 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9082 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9083 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9084 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9085 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9086 [Bodo Moeller]
9087
9088 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9089 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9090
9091 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9092 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9093 followed by modular reduction.
9094 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9095
9096 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9097 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9098 [Bodo Moeller]
9099
9100 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9101 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9102 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9103 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9104 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9105
9106 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9107 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9108
9109 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9110 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9111 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9112
9113 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9114 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9115 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9116 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9117 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9118 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9119 automatically.
9120 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9121
9122 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9123 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9124 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9125 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9126 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9127
9128 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9129 [Andy Polyakov]
9130
9131 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9132 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9133 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9134 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9135 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9136 to allow the necessary settings.
9137 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9138
9139 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9140 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9141 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9142 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9143 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9144
9145 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9146 dh->length and always used
9147
9148 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9149
9150 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9151 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9152 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9153 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9154 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9155 dh->length.
9156
9157 So switch back to
9158
9159 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9160
9161 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9162 otherwise.
9163 [Bodo Moeller]
9164
9165 *) In
9166
9167 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9168 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9169 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9170 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9171
9172 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9173 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9174 always reject numbers >= n.
9175 [Bodo Moeller]
9176
9177 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9178 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9179 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9180 variable) is not atomic.
9181 [Bodo Moeller]
9182
9183 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9184 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9185 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9186 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9187
9188 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9189 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9190
9191 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9192 little-endian MIPS.
9193 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9194
9195 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9196 [Richard Levitte]
9197
9198 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9199
9200 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9201 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9202 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9203 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9204 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9205 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9206 to traverse all of 'state'.
9207
9208 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9209 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9210 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9211
9212 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9213 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9214
9215 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9216 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9217 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9218 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9219 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9220 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9221 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9222 further strengthens the PRNG.
9223 [Bodo Moeller]
9224
9225 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9226 [Andy Polyakov]
9227
9228 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9229 an error message in this case.
9230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9231
9232 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9233 [Steve Henson]
9234
9235 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9236 positive and less than q.
9237 [Bodo Moeller]
9238
9239 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9240 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9241 that itself.
9242 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9243
9244 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9245 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9246 [Bodo Moeller]
9247
9248 *) Fix OAEP check.
9249 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9250
9251 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9252 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9253 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9254 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9255 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9256 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9257 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9258 paper.)
9259
9260 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9261 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9262 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9263 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9264
9265 Both problems are now fixed.
9266 [Bodo Moeller]
9267
9268 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9269 (previously it was 1024).
9270 [Bodo Moeller]
9271
9272 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9273 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9274 [Steve Henson]
9275
9276 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9277 [Steve Henson]
9278
9279 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9280 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9281 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9282 [Steve Henson]
9283
9284 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9285 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9286 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9287 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9288 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9289 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9290 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9291 environment variables.
9292
9293 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9294 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9295 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9296 [Bodo Moeller]
9297
9298 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9299 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9300 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9301 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9302 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9303 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9304 [Bodo Moeller]
9305
9306 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9307 versions of 'test'.
9308 [Bodo Moeller]
9309
9310 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9311
9312 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9313 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9314
9315 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9316 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9317 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9318 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9319 CygWin.
9320 [Richard Levitte]
9321
9322 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9323 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9324 amount of data available.
9325 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9326 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9327
9328 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9329 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9330 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9331 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9332 [Bodo Moeller]
9333
9334 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9335 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9336 and UnixWare.
9337 [Richard Levitte]
9338
9339 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9340 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9341 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9342 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9343 [Ulf Moeller]
9344
9345 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9346 [Andy Polyakov]
9347
9348 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9349 [Richard Levitte]
9350
9351 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9352 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9353 [Steve Henson]
9354 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9355
9356 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9357 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9358 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9359 (but broken) behaviour.
9360 [Steve Henson]
9361
9362 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9363 it when found.
9364 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9365
9366 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9367 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9368 [Bodo Moeller]
9369
9370 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9371 did not exist.
9372 [Bodo Moeller]
9373
9374 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9375 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9376
9377 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9378 [Richard Levitte]
9379
9380 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9381 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9382 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9383
9384 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9385 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9386 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9387 [Steve Henson]
9388
9389 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9390 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9391 [Ulf Moeller]
9392
9393 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9394 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9395
9396 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9397
9398 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9399
9400 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9401 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9402 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9403 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9404 [Bodo Moeller]
9405
9406 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9407 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9408
9409 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9410 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9411 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9412
9413 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9414 was empty.
9415 [Steve Henson]
9416 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9417
9418 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9419 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9420 but the code is actually correct.
9421 [Steve Henson]
9422
9423 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9424 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9425 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9426 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9427 and leaves the highest bit random.
9428 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9429
9430 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9431 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9432 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9433 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9434 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9435 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9436 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9437 [Bodo Moeller]
9438
9439 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9440 [Ulf Moeller]
9441
9442 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9443 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9444 [Steve Henson]
9445
9446 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9447 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9448 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9449 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9450 headers.
9451 [Richard Levitte]
9452
9453 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9454 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9455 and break the signature.
9456 [Steve Henson]
9457 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9458
9459 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9460 DH ciphersuites.
9461 [Steve Henson]
9462
9463 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9464 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9465 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9466 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9467 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9468 [Bodo Moeller]
9469
9470 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9471 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9472
9473 *) ./config script fixes.
9474 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9475
9476 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9477 [Bodo Moeller]
9478
9479 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9480 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9481 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9482 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9483 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9484
9485 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9486 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9487 [Bodo Moeller]
9488
9489 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9490 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9491 [Steve Henson]
9492
9493 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9494 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9495 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9496 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9497
9498 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9499 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9500
9501 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9502 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9503 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9504 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9505 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9506
9507 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9508 [Bodo Moeller]
9509
9510 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9511 [Ulf Möller]
9512
9513 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9514 [Ulf Möller]
9515
9516 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9517 [Bodo Moeller]
9518
9519 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9520 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9521 [Bodo Moeller]
9522
9523 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9524 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9525 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9526 result of the server certificate verification.)
9527 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9528
9529 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9530 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9531 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9532 [Bodo Moeller]
9533
9534 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9535 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9536 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9537 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9538 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9539 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9540 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9541 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9542 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9543 [Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9546 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9547 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9548 happening the other way round.
9549 [Geoff Thorpe]
9550
9551 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9552 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9553 [Bodo Moeller]
9554
9555 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9556 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9557 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9558 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9559 [Richard Levitte]
9560
9561 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9562 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9563
9564 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9565
9566 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9567 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9568 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9569 that.
9570
9571 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9572
9573 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9574
9575 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9576 static ones.
9577 [Richard Levitte]
9578
9579 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9580
9581 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9582 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9583 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9584 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9585 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9586
9587 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9588 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9589 matter what.
9590 [Richard Levitte]
9591
9592 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9593 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9594
9595 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9596
9597 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9598 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9599 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9600 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9601 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9602 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9603 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9604 by the Finished messages.
9605 [Bodo Moeller]
9606
9607 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9608 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9609
9610 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9611 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9612 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9613 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9614 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9615 appropriately.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9619 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9620 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9621 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9622 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9623 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9624 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9625 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9626 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9627 together.
9628 [Steve Henson]
9629
9630 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9631 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9632 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9633 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9634
9635 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9636 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9637 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9638 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9639 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9640 the answer.
9641
9642 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9643 been tested well enough.
9644 [Richard Levitte]
9645
9646 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9647 it can return incorrect results.
9648 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9649 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9650 [Bodo Moeller]
9651
9652 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9653 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9654 include zero length content when signing messages.
9655 [Steve Henson]
9656
9657 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9658 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9659 [Bodo Möller]
9660
9661 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9662 [Richard Levitte]
9663
9664 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9665 wrong sign.
9666 [Ulf Möller]
9667
9668 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9669 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9670 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9671 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9672 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9673 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9674 [Richard Levitte]
9675
9676 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9677 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9678
9679 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9680 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9681
9682 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9683 random number < q in the DSA library.
9684 [Ulf Möller]
9685
9686 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9687 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9688 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9689 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9690 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9691 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9692 just makes things more complicated.)
9693 [Bodo Moeller]
9694
9695 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9696 from EGD.
9697 [Ben Laurie]
9698
9699 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9700 work better on such systems.
9701 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9702
9703 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9704 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9705 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9706 [Steve Henson]
9707
9708 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9709 if there was more than one signature.
9710 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9711
9712 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9713 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9714 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9715 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9716 [Richard Levitte]
9717
9718 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9719 rather than always using the current time.
9720 [Steve Henson]
9721
9722 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9723 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9724 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9725 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9726 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9727 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9728
9729 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9730 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9731
9732 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9733
9734 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9735 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9736 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9737 the same hash value.
9738
9739 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9740 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9741 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9742 with X509_STORE internally.
9743
9744 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9745 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9746
9747 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9748 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9749 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9750 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9751 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9752 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9753 entirely (maybe later...).
9754
9755 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9756
9757 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9758 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9759 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9760 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9761 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9762 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9763 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9764 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9765
9766 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9767 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9768
9769 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9770 to customise the verify behaviour.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9774 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9775 [Steve Henson]
9776
9777 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9778 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9779 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9780 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9781 request is improperly encoded.
9782 [Steve Henson]
9783
9784 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9785 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9786 BIO_write(b, ...).
9787
9788 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9789 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9790
9791 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9792 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9793 words set to zero.)
9794 [Bodo Moeller]
9795
9796 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9797 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9798 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9799 [Bodo Moeller]
9800
9801 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9802 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9803 BIO/fp routines also added.
9804 [Steve Henson]
9805
9806 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9807 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9808
9809 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9810 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9811 demos/state_machine.
9812 [Ben Laurie]
9813
9814 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9815 generation and verification.
9816 [Steve Henson]
9817
9818 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9819 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9820 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9821 encode and decode it manually.
9822 [Steve Henson]
9823
9824 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9825 compile under VC++.
9826 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9827
9828 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9829 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9830 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9831 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9832
9833 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9834 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9835 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9836 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9837 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9838 [Steve Henson]
9839
9840 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9841 [Richard Levitte]
9842
9843 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9844 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9845 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9846
9847 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9848 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9849 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9850 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9851 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9852 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9853 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9854 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9855
9856 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9857 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9858
9859 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9860
9861 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9862 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9863 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9864
9865 [Richard Levitte]
9866
9867 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9868 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9869 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9870 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9871 [Richard Levitte]
9872
9873 *) MD4 implemented.
9874 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9875
9876 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9877 [Richard Levitte]
9878
9879 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9880 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9881 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9882 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9883 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9884 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9885 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9886 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9887 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9888 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9889 short or long names are found.
9890 [Steve Henson]
9891
9892 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9893 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9894
9895 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9896 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9897 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9898 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9899
9900 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9901 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9902 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9903 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9904 [Bodo Moeller]
9905
9906 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9907 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9908 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9909 [Richard Levitte]
9910
9911 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9912 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9913 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9914 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9915 to allow the various flags to be set.
9916 [Steve Henson]
9917
9918 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9919 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9920 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9921 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9922 dates to be checked.
9923 [Steve Henson]
9924
9925 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9926 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9927 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9928 [Steve Henson]
9929
9930 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9931 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9932 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9933 [Steve Henson]
9934
9935 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9936 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9937 [Bodo Moeller]
9938
9939 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9940 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9941 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9942 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9943 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9944 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9945 [Richard Levitte]
9946
9947 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9948 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9949 Random Numbers.
9950 [Ulf Möller]
9951
9952 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9953 DSA key.
9954 [Steve Henson]
9955
9956 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9957 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9958 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9959 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9960 form signing output easier to verify.
9961 [Steve Henson]
9962
9963 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9964 [Steve Henson]
9965
9966 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9967 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9968 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9969 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9970 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9971 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9972 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9973 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9974 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9975 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9976 [Steve Henson]
9977
9978 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9979
9980 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9981 the syntax given in objects.README.
9982 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9983 obj_mac.h.
9984 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9985 obj_mac.h.
9986
9987 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9988 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9989 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9990 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9991 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9992 consistent name changes.
9993 [Richard Levitte]
9994
9995 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9996 [Bodo Moeller]
9997
9998 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9999 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10000 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10001 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10002 [Richard Levitte]
10003
10004 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10005 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10006 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10007 of safestack.h .
10008 [Steve Henson]
10009
10010 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10011 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10012 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10013 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10014 [Steve Henson]
10015
10016 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10017 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10018 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10019 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10020 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10021 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10022 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10023 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10024 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10025 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10026 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10027 [Steve Henson]
10028
10029 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10030 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10031 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10032 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10033 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10034 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10035 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10036 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10037 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10038 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10039 [Steve Henson]
10040
10041 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10042 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10043 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10044 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10045
10046 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10047 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10048 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10049 omit any duplicate addresses.
10050 [Steve Henson]
10051
10052 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10053 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10054 [Bodo Moeller]
10055
10056 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10057 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10058 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10059 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10060 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10061 [Bodo Moeller]
10062
10063 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10064 software:
10065 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10066 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10067 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10068 Free => OPENSSL_free
10069 [Richard Levitte]
10070
10071 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10072 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10073 [Bodo Moeller]
10074
10075 *) CygWin32 support.
10076 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10077
10078 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10079 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10080 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10081 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10082 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10083 approach.
10084 [Geoff Thorpe]
10085
10086 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10087 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10088 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10089 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10090 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10091 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10092 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10093 [Geoff Thorpe]
10094
10095 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10096 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10097 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10098 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10099 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10100 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10101 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10102 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10103 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10104 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10105 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10106 [Bodo Moeller]
10107
10108 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10109 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10110 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10111 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10112 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10113
10114 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10115 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10116 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10117 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10118 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10119
10120 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10121 ciphers.
10122
10123 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10124 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10125 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10126 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10127
10128 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10129
10130 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10131 of macros.
10132
10133 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10134 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10135 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10136 flags.
10137
10138 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10139 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10140 any installed hardware versions can.
10141 [Steve Henson]
10142
10143 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10144 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10145 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10146 number.
10147 [Bodo Moeller]
10148
10149 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10150 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10151 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10152 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10153 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10154
10155 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10156 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10160 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10161 [Richard Levitte]
10162
10163 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10164 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10165 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10166 features.
10167 [Steve Henson]
10168
10169 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10170 [Ulf Möller]
10171
10172 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10173 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10174 but no ssl client purpose.
10175 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10176
10177 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10178 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10179 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10180 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10181 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10182 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10183 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10184 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10185 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10186 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10187 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10188 [Steve Henson]
10189
10190 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10191 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10192 be obtained from the error queue.
10193 [Bodo Moeller]
10194
10195 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10196 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10197 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10198 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10199 [Bodo Moeller]
10200
10201 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10202 [Ulf Möller]
10203
10204 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10205 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10206 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10207 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10208 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10209 [Geoff Thorpe]
10210
10211 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10212 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10213 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10214 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10215 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10216 [Geoff Thorpe]
10217
10218 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10219 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10220 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10221 may not be NULL.
10222 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10223
10224 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10225 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10226 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10227 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10228 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10229 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10230 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10231 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10232 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10233 or "the configuration storage API"...
10234
10235 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10236
10237 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10238 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10239
10240 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10241
10242 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10243
10244 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10245 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10246 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10247 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10248 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10249 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10250 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10251
10252 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10253 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10254 [Richard Levitte]
10255
10256 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10257 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10258 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10259 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10260 [Bodo Moeller]
10261
10262 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10263 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10264 them in a portable way.
10265 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10266
10267 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10268
10269 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10270
10271 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10272 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10273
10274 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10275 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10276 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10277 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10278
10279 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10280 was larger than the MD block size.
10281 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10282
10283 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10284 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10285 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10286 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10287 components.
10288 [Steve Henson]
10289
10290 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10291 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10292 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10293
10294 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10295 discouraged.
10296 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10297
10298 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10299 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10300 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10301 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10302 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10303 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10304
10305 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10306 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10307
10308 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10309 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10310 [Bodo Moeller]
10311
10312 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10313 [Bodo Moeller]
10314
10315 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10316 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10317 its own key.
10318 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10319 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10320 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10321 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10322 [Bodo Moeller]
10323
10324 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10325 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10326 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10327 does not suppress any output.
10328 [Richard Levitte]
10329
10330 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10331 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10332 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10333 with all the associated security issues.
10334
10335 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10336 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10337 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10338 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10339 use the value in the default purpose.
10340 [Steve Henson]
10341
10342 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10343 and fix a memory leak.
10344 [Steve Henson]
10345
10346 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10347 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10348 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10349 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10350 [Bodo Moeller]
10351
10352 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10353 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10354 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10355 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10356 [Bodo Moeller]
10357
10358 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10359 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10360 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10361 [Bodo Moeller]
10362
10363 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10364 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10365 [Bodo Moeller]
10366
10367 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10368 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10369 which was free.
10370 [Steve Henson]
10371
10372 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10373 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10374 [Bodo Moeller]
10375
10376 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10377 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10378 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10379 [Bodo Moeller]
10380
10381 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10382 number generation fails.
10383 [Bodo Moeller]
10384
10385 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10386 [Bodo Moeller]
10387
10388 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10389 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10390
10391 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10392 [Ulf Möller]
10393
10394 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10395 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10396
10397 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10398 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10399
10400 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10401
10402 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10403 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10404 [Steve Henson]
10405
10406 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10407 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10408
10409 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10410 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10411 [Ulf Möller]
10412
10413 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10414 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10415 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10416 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10417 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10418 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10419
10420 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10421 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10422 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10423 for example.
10424 [Steve Henson]
10425
10426 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10427 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10428 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10429 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10430 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10431 counter, some don't.)
10432 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10433 counters or duplicate objects.
10434 [Steve Henson]
10435
10436 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10437 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10441 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10442 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10443
10444 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10445 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10446 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10447 or -rand.
10448 [Ulf Möller]
10449
10450 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10451 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10452 [Steve Henson]
10453
10454 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10455 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10456 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10457 cipher list.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10461 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10462 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10466 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10467 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10468 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10469 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10470 should work without changes.
10471 [Richard Levitte]
10472
10473 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10474 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10475 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10476 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10477 must be defined. E.g.,
10478 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10479 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10480 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10481 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10482
10483 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10484 record layer.
10485 [Bodo Moeller]
10486
10487 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10488 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10489 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10490 [Steve Henson]
10491
10492 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10493 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10494 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10495 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10496 [Steve Henson]
10497
10498 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10499 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10500 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10501 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10502 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10503 is prompted for as usual.
10504 [Steve Henson]
10505
10506 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10507 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10508 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10509 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10510
10511 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10512 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10513 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10514 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10515 [Steve Henson]
10516
10517 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10518 [Andy Polyakov]
10519
10520 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10521 of seed file.
10522 [Steve Henson]
10523
10524 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10525 [Bodo Moeller]
10526
10527 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10528 [Steve Henson]
10529
10530 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10531 bits.
10532 [Ulf Möller]
10533
10534 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10535 [Ulf Möller]
10536
10537 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10538 [Andy Polyakov]
10539
10540 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10541 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10542 [Ulf Möller]
10543
10544 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10545 options to produce them.
10546 [Steve Henson]
10547
10548 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10549 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10550 [Ulf Möller]
10551
10552 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10553 for p == 0.
10554 [Ulf Möller]
10555
10556 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10557 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10558 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10559 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10560 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10561 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10562 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10563 [Steve Henson]
10564
10565 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10566 [Steve Henson]
10567
10568 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10569 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10570 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10571 [Bodo Moeller]
10572
10573 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10574 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10575
10576 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10577 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10578 [Ulf Möller]
10579
10580 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10581 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10582 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10583 has already seen).
10584 [Bodo Moeller]
10585
10586 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10587 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10588
10589 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10590 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10591 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10592 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10593 generation becomes much faster.
10594
10595 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10596 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10597 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10598 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10599 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10600 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10601 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10602 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10603 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10604 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10605 [Bodo Moeller]
10606
10607 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10608 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10609 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10610 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10611 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10612 trial division stage.
10613 [Bodo Moeller]
10614
10615 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10616 as ASN1_TIME.
10617 [Steve Henson]
10618
10619 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10620 [Steve Henson]
10621
10622 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10623 [Ulf Möller]
10624
10625 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10626 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10627 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10628 the comments.
10629 [Ulf Möller]
10630
10631 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10632 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10633 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10634 [Bodo Moeller]
10635
10636 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10637 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10638 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10639 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10640
10641 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10642 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10646 [Ulf Möller]
10647
10648 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10649 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10650 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10651 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10652 [Ulf Möller]
10653
10654 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10655 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10656 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10657 [Ulf Möller]
10658
10659 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10660 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10661 (instead of parameters) in future.
10662 [Steve Henson]
10663
10664 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10665 when a new cipher list is set.
10666 [Steve Henson]
10667
10668 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10669 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10670 wrong.
10671
10672 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10673 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10674 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10675
10676 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10677 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10678 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10679 an error is flagged.
10680
10681 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10682 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10683 the readability was also increased :-)
10684 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10685
10686 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10687 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10688 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10689 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10690 as the root CA.
10691 [Steve Henson]
10692
10693 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10694 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10695 [Steve Henson]
10696
10697 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10698 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10699 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10700 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10701 instead.
10702
10703 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10704 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10705 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10706 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10707 because they handle more complex structures.)
10708 [Steve Henson]
10709
10710 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10711 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10712 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10713 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10714
10715 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10716 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10717 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10718 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10719 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10720 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10721 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10722 [Ulf Möller]
10723
10724 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10725 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10726 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10727 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10728 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10729 [Bodo Moeller]
10730
10731 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10732 [Bodo Moeller]
10733
10734 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10735 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10736 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10737 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10738 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10739 to use this.
10740
10741 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10742 code.
10743 [Steve Henson]
10744
10745 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10746 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10747 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10748 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10749 [Steve Henson]
10750
10751 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10752 [Ulf Möller]
10753
10754 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10755 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10756 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10757 international characters are used.
10758
10759 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10760 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10761 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10762 in ASN1 order.
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10766 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10767 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10768 request.
10769
10770 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10771 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10772 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10773 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10774 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10775 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10776
10777 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10778 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10779 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10780 be handled by the string table functions.
10781
10782 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10783 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10784 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10785 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10786 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10787 types at all.
10788 [Steve Henson]
10789
10790 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10791 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10792 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10793 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10794 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10795
10796 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10797 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10798 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10799 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10800 [Bodo Moeller]
10801
10802 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10803 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10804 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10805 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10806 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10807 SHA1.
10808 [Andy Polyakov]
10809
10810 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10811 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10812 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10813 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10814 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10815 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10816 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10817 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10818
10819 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10820 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10821 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10822 [Steve Henson]
10823
10824 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10825 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10826 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10827 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10828 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10829 support to pkcs8 application.
10830 [Steve Henson]
10831
10832 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10833 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10834 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10835 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10836 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10837 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10838 [Bodo Moeller]
10839
10840 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10841 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10842 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10843 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10844 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10845 consistency.
10846 [Bodo Moeller]
10847
10848 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10849 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10850 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10851 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10852 example.
10853 [Steve Henson]
10854
10855 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10856 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10857 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10858 and any application specific purposes.
10859
10860 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10861 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10862 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10863 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10864 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10865 if the certificate is self signed.
10866 [Steve Henson]
10867
10868 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10869 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10870 [Steve Henson]
10871
10872 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10873 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10874 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10875 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10876 [Steve Henson]
10877
10878 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10879 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10880 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10881 Update documentation.
10882 [Steve Henson]
10883
10884 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10885 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10886 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10887 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10888 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10889 [Steve Henson]
10890
10891 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10892 for details.
10893 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10894
10895 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10896 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10897 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10898 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10899 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10900 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10901 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10902 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10903 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10904 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10905
10906 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10907
10908 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10909 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10910 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10911 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10912 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10913
10914 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10915 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10916 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10917 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10918 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10919 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10920 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10921 request additional information:
10922 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10923 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10924
10925 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10926 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10927 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10928 options.
10929
10930 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10931 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10932
10933 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10934 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10935 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10936
10937 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10938 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10939
10940 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10941 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10942 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10943 algorithm.
10944 [Steve Henson]
10945
10946 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10947 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10948 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10949
10950 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10951 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10952 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10953 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10954 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10955 included in OpenSSL.
10956 [Steve Henson]
10957
10958 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10959 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10960 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10961 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10962 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10963 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10964 [Bodo Moeller]
10965
10966 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10967 PKCS12 structure.
10968 [Steve Henson]
10969
10970 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10971 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10972 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10973 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10974 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10975 structure.
10976 [Steve Henson]
10977
10978 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10979 need initialising.
10980 [Steve Henson]
10981
10982 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10983 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10984 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10985 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10986 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10987 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10988 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10989 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10990 be maintained manually.
10991
10992 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10993 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10994 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10995 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10996 work because people forget to call this function]
10997 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10998 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10999 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11000 [Steve Henson]
11001
11002 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11003 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11004 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11005 should be discouraged from doing it.
11006 [Ben Laurie]
11007
11008 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11009 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11010 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11011 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11012 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11013 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11014 [Steve Henson]
11015
11016 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11017 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11018 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11019
11020 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11021 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11022 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11023
11024 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11025 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11026 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11027 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11028 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11029 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11030
11031 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11032 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11033 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11034
11035 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11036 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11037 and vice versa.
11038
11039 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11040 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11041 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11042 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11046 [Steve Henson]
11047
11048 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11049 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11050 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11051 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11052 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11053 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11054 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11055 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11056 keys so we should be OK.
11057
11058 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11059 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11060 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11061 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11062 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11063 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11064 stay in the name of compatibility.
11065
11066 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11067 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11068 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11069
11070 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11071 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11072 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11073 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11074 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11075 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11076 supplied key).
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11080 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11081 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11082 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11083 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11084 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11085 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11086 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11087 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11088 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11089 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11090 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11091 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11092 [Steve Henson]
11093
11094 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11095 [Steve Henson]
11096
11097 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11098 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11099 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11100 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11101 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11102 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11103 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11104 openssl verify ss.pem
11105 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11106 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11107 is OK.
11108 [Steve Henson]
11109
11110 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11111 (and add it to external session representation).
11112 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11113 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11114 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11115 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11116 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11117 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11118 security holes.
11119 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11120
11121 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11122 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11123 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11124 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11125
11126 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11127 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11128 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11129 [Steve Henson]
11130
11131 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11132 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11133 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11134 code.
11135 [Steve Henson]
11136
11137 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11138 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11139 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11140
11141 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11142 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11143 certificate auxiliary information.
11144 [Steve Henson]
11145
11146 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11147 the 'enc' command.
11148 [Steve Henson]
11149
11150 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11151 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11152 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11153 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11154 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11155 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11156 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11157 [Richard Levitte]
11158
11159 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11160 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11164 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11165 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11166 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11167 [Steve Henson]
11168
11169 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11170 [Steve Henson]
11171
11172 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11173 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11174 [Steve Henson]
11175
11176 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11177 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11178 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11179 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11180 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11181 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11182 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11183 using the new 'x509' options.
11184
11185 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11186 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11187 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11188 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11189 for all purposes.
11190 [Steve Henson]
11191
11192 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11193 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11194 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11195 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11196 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11197 [Mark Cox]
11198
11199 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11200 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11201 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11202 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11203 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11204 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11205 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11206 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11207 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11208 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11209 [Steve Henson]
11210
11211 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11212 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11213 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11214 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11215 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11216 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11217 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11218 [Steve Henson]
11219
11220 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11221 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11222 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11223 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11224 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11225 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11226 openssl.cnf for more info.
11227 [Steve Henson]
11228
11229 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11230 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11231 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11232 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11233 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11234 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11235 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11236 md should be large enough anyway.
11237 [Bodo Moeller]
11238
11239 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11240 for handling the random seed file.
11241
11242 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11243 ca,
11244 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11245 s_client,
11246 s_server,
11247 x509 (when signing).
11248 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11249 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11250 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11251
11252 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11253 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11254 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11255 that support '-rand'.
11256 [Bodo Moeller]
11257
11258 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11259 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11260 [Bodo Moeller]
11261
11262 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11263 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11264 [Bill Perry]
11265
11266 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11267 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11268 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11269 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11270 is suitable.
11271 [Steve Henson]
11272
11273 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11274 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11275 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11276 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11277 [Steve Henson]
11278
11279 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11280 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11281 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11282 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11283 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11284 print out all the purposes.
11285 [Steve Henson]
11286
11287 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11288 functions.
11289 [Steve Henson]
11290
11291 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11292 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11293 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11294 single function call.
11295 [Steve Henson]
11296
11297 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11298 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11299 [Andy Polyakov]
11300
11301 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11302 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11303 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11304 [Steve Henson]
11305
11306 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11307 when producing the local key id.
11308 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11309
11310 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11311 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11312 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11313 "server.pem".
11314 [Steve Henson]
11315
11316 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11317 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11318 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11319 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11320 [Steve Henson]
11321
11322 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11323 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11324 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11325 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11326
11327 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11328 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11329 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11330 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11331
11332 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11333 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11334 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11335 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11336 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11337 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11338 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11339 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11340 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11341 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11342 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11343 trivial: move one line.
11344 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11345
11346 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11347 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11348 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11349 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11350 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11351 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11352 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11353 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11354 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11355 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11356 with an event loop for example.
11357 [Steve Henson]
11358
11359 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11360 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11361 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11362 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11363 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11364 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11365 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11366 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11367 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11368 [Steve Henson]
11369
11370 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11371 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11372 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11373 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11374 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11375 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11376 [Steve Henson]
11377
11378 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11379 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11380 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11381 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11382
11383 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11384 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11385 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11386 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11387 key generation.
11388 [Steve Henson]
11389
11390 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11391 (still largely untested)
11392 [Bodo Moeller]
11393
11394 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11395 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11396 [Steve Henson]
11397
11398 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11399 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11400 [Steve Henson]
11401
11402 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11403 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11404 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11405 [Bodo Moeller]
11406
11407 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11408 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11409 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11410 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11411 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11412 [Steve Henson]
11413
11414 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11415 [Andy Polyakov]
11416
11417 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11418 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11419 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11420 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11421 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11422 in ca.
11423 [Steve Henson]
11424
11425 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11426 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11427 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11428 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11429 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11430 [Steve Henson]
11431
11432 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11433 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11434 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11435 are otherwise ignored at present.
11436 [Steve Henson]
11437
11438 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11439 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11440 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11441 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11442 copied until the next read.
11443 [Steve Henson]
11444
11445 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11446 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11447 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11448 [Steve Henson]
11449
11450 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11451 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11452 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11453 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11454 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11455 associated functions.
11456 [Steve Henson]
11457
11458 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11459 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11460 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11461 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11462 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11463 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11464 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11465 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11466 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11467 memory BIOs.
11468 [Steve Henson]
11469
11470 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11471 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11472 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11473 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11474 [Bodo Moeller]
11475
11476 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11477 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11478 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11479 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11480 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11481 functionality.
11482 [Steve Henson]
11483
11484 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11485 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11486 under Win32.
11487 [Steve Henson]
11488
11489 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11490 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11491 extensions to be obtained and added.
11492 [Steve Henson]
11493
11494 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11495 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11496 [Bodo Moeller]
11497
11498 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11499
11500 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11501 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11502
11503 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11504 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11505
11506 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11507 program.
11508 [Steve Henson]
11509
11510 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11511 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11512 DH parameters contain its length).
11513
11514 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11515 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11516 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11517 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11518 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11519 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11520 utter importance to use
11521 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11522 or
11523 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11524 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11525 attacks may become possible!
11526 [Bodo Moeller]
11527
11528 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11529 [Bodo Moeller]
11530
11531 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11532 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11533 [Steve Henson]
11534
11535 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11536 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11537 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11538 or long name.
11539 [Steve Henson]
11540
11541 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11542 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11543 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11544 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11545 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11546 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11547 private key operations.
11548 [Steve Henson]
11549
11550 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11551 [Andy Polyakov]
11552
11553 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11554 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11555 to
11556 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11557 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11558 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11559 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11560 the password callback is called.
11561 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11562
11563 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11564
11565 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11566 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11567 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11568 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11569 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11570 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11571 this will work.
11572
11573 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11574 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11575 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11576 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11577 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11578 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11579 [Bodo Moeller]
11580
11581 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11582 [Andy Polyakov]
11583
11584 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11585 delete an unused file.
11586 [Ulf Möller]
11587
11588 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11589 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11590 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11591 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11592 [Steve Henson]
11593
11594 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11595 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11596 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11597 of an error.
11598 [Bodo Moeller]
11599
11600 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11601 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11602 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11603
11604 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11605 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11606 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11607 comparison" warnings.
11608 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11609 [Steve Henson]
11610
11611 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11612 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11613 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11614 [Steve Henson]
11615
11616 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11617 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11618
11619 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11620 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11621
11622 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11623 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11624 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11625
11626 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11627 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11628 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11629 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11630 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11631 this bug.
11632 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11633
11634 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11635 The interface is as follows:
11636 Applications can use
11637 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11638 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11639 "off" is now the default.
11640 The library internally uses
11641 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11642 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11643 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11644
11645 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11646 even the default) are now avoided.
11647
11648 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11649 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11650 than just having a counter.
11651
11652 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11653
11654 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11655 extensions.
11656 [Bodo Moeller]
11657
11658 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11659 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11660 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11661 Initial "mode" flags are:
11662
11663 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11664 a single record has been written.
11665 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11666 retries use the same buffer location.
11667 (But all of the contents must be
11668 copied!)
11669 [Bodo Moeller]
11670
11671 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11672 worked.
11673
11674 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11675 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11676
11677 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11678 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11679 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11680 [Steve Henson]
11681
11682 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11683 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11684 test programs.
11685 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11686
11687 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11688 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11689 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11690 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11691 point to the end.
11692 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11693 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11694
11695 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11696 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11697 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11698 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11699 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11700 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11701 [Steve Henson]
11702
11703 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11704 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11705 necessary function names.
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11709 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11710 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11711 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11712 [Bodo Moeller]
11713
11714 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11715 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11716 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11717 [Steve Henson]
11718
11719 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11720 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11721 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11722 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11723 such programs?)
11724 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11725 need locks.
11726 [Bodo Moeller]
11727
11728 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11729 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11730 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11731 [Bodo Moeller]
11732
11733 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11734 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11735 appropriate.
11736 [Bodo Moeller]
11737
11738 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11739 for the encoded length.
11740 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11741
11742 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11743 [Steve Henson]
11744
11745 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11746 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11747 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11748 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11752 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11754
11755 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11756 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11757 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11758 unusual formatting.
11759 [Steve Henson]
11760
11761 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11762 to use the new extension code.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11766 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11767 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11768 constant.
11769 [Steve Henson]
11770
11771 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11772 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11773 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11774 [Bodo Moeller]
11775
11776 #if 0
11777 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11778 [Ben Laurie]
11779 #else
11780 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11781 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11782 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11783 #endif
11784
11785 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11786 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11787 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11788 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11789 [Ben Laurie]
11790
11791 *) DES library cleanups.
11792 [Ulf Möller]
11793
11794 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11795 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11796 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11797 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11798 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11799 of v2.0.
11800 [Steve Henson]
11801
11802 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11803 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11804 [Bodo Moeller]
11805
11806 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11807 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11808 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11809 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11810 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11811 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11812 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11813 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11814 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11815 [Steve Henson]
11816
11817 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11818 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11819 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11820 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11821 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11822 value doesn't matter.
11823 [Steve Henson]
11824
11825 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11826 support mutable.
11827 [Ben Laurie]
11828
11829 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11830 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11831 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11832 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11833
11834 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11835 [Ulf Möller]
11836
11837 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11838 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11839 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11840
11841 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11842 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11843
11844 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11845 [Ben Laurie]
11846
11847 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11848 [Ben Laurie]
11849
11850 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11851 [Ben Laurie]
11852
11853 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11854 [Bodo Moeller]
11855
11856
11857 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11858
11859 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11860
11861 *) Updated some demos.
11862 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11863
11864 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11865 [Wu Zhigang]
11866
11867 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11868 [Steve Henson]
11869
11870 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11871 [Steve Henson]
11872
11873 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11874 instead of using a fixed path.
11875 [Bodo Moeller]
11876
11877 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11878 [Andy Polyakov]
11879
11880 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11881 [Richard Levitte]
11882
11883
11884 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11885
11886 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11887 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11888 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11889
11890 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11891 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11892 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11893 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11894 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11895 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11896 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11897 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11898 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11899 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11900 [Steve Henson]
11901
11902 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11903 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11904 [Steve Henson]
11905
11906 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11907 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11908 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11909 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11910 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11911
11912 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11913 [Bodo Moeller]
11914
11915 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11916 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11917 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11918 [Steve Henson]
11919
11920 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11921 [Ben Laurie]
11922
11923 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11924 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11925 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11926 key elements as negative integers.
11927 [Steve Henson]
11928
11929 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11930 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11931
11932 *) VMS support.
11933 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11934
11935 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11936 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11937 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11938 [Steve Henson]
11939
11940 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11941 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11942 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11943 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11944 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11945 [Bodo Moeller]
11946
11947 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11948 [Ulf Möller]
11949
11950 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11951 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11952 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11953 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11954
11955 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11956 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11957 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11958
11959 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11960 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11961 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11962 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11963 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11964 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11965 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11966 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11967 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11968
11969 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11970 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11971 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11972 does not influence s as it used to.
11973
11974 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11975 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11976 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11977 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11978 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11979 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11980 [Bodo Moeller]
11981
11982 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11983 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11984 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11985 key type.
11986 [Steve Henson]
11987
11988 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11989 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11990 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11991 and 'x509').
11992 [Steve Henson]
11993
11994 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11995 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11996 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11997 extension option.
11998 [Steve Henson]
11999
12000 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12001 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12002 [Ben Laurie]
12003
12004 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12005 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12006
12007 *) Support Mingw32.
12008 [Ulf Möller]
12009
12010 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12011 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12012
12013 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12014 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12015
12016 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12017 [Ulf Möller]
12018
12019 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12020 [Anonymous]
12021
12022 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12023 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12024
12025 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12026 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12027 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12028 DER-encoded.)
12029 [Bodo Moeller]
12030
12031 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12032 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12033 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12034 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12035 now it really counts the depth.
12036 [Bodo Moeller]
12037
12038 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12039 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12040 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12041 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12042 didn't match the private key).
12043
12044 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12045 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12046 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12047 [Bodo Moeller]
12048
12049 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12050 [Ulf Möller]
12051
12052 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12053 David Harris.
12054 [Bodo Moeller]
12055
12056 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12057 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12058 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12059 [Bodo Moeller]
12060
12061 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12062 [Bodo Moeller]
12063
12064 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12065 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12066 such as /usr/local/bin.
12067 [Bodo Moeller]
12068
12069 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12070 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12071
12072 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12073 [Ulf Möller]
12074
12075 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12076 extension adding in x509 utility.
12077 [Steve Henson]
12078
12079 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12080 [Ulf Möller]
12081
12082 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12083 prototypes.
12084 [Steve Henson]
12085
12086 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12087 [Ulf Möller]
12088
12089 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12090 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12091 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12092 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12093 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12094 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12095 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12096 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12097 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12098 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12102 [Bodo Moeller]
12103
12104 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12105 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12106 [Bodo Moeller]
12107
12108 *) Fix some race conditions.
12109 [Bodo Moeller]
12110
12111 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12112 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12113 [Steve Henson]
12114
12115 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12116 [Ulf Möller]
12117
12118 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12119 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12120 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12121 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12122
12123 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12124 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12125
12126 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12127 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12128 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12129
12130 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12131 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12132
12133 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12134 [Ulf Möller]
12135
12136 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12137 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12138
12139 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12140 [Ulf Möller]
12141
12142 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12143 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12144
12145 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12146 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12147 [Steve Henson]
12148
12149 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12150 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12151 [Ben Laurie]
12152
12153 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12154 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12155 [Steve Henson]
12156
12157 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12158 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12159 [Steve Henson]
12160
12161 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12162 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12163 [Steve Henson]
12164
12165 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12166 support typesafe stack.
12167 [Steve Henson]
12168
12169 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12170 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12171
12172 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12173 old X509V3 handling code.
12174 [Steve Henson]
12175
12176 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12177 [Ulf Möller]
12178
12179 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12180 [Bodo Moeller]
12181
12182 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12183 [Ben Laurie]
12184
12185 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12186 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12187
12188 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12189 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12190 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12191 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12192 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12193 [Ben Laurie]
12194
12195 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12196 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12197 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12198 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12199 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12200
12201 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12202 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12203 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12204 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12205
12206 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12207 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12208 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12210
12211 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12212 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12213 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12214 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12215 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12216 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12217 [Bodo Moeller]
12218
12219 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12220 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12221 [Bodo Moeller]
12222
12223 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12224 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12225 [Ulf Möller]
12226
12227 *) Tweaks to Configure
12228 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12229
12230 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12231 yet...
12232 [Steve Henson]
12233
12234 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12235 [Ulf Möller]
12236
12237 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12238 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12239 [Ulf Möller]
12240
12241 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12242 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12243 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12244 [Bodo Moeller]
12245
12246 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12247 [Bodo Moeller]
12248
12249 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12250 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12251 [Steve Henson]
12252
12253 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12254 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12255 to library startup routines.
12256 [Steve Henson]
12257
12258 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12259 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12260 codes along the way.
12261 [Steve Henson]
12262
12263 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12264 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12265 objects to objects.h
12266 [Steve Henson]
12267
12268 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12269 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12270 [Steve Henson]
12271
12272 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12273 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12274
12275 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12276 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12277 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12278
12279 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12280 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12281 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12282
12283 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12284 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12285 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12286
12287
12288 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12289
12290 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12291 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12292 [Ben Laurie]
12293
12294 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12295 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12296 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12297 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12298 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12299
12300 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12301 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12302 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12303 document.
12304 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12305
12306 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12307 Malloc, Free.
12308 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12309
12310 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12311 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12312
12313 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12314 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12315 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12316 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12317
12318 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12319 [Ben Laurie]
12320
12321 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12322 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12323 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12324 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12325 [Steve Henson]
12326
12327 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12328 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12329 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12330 [Steve Henson]
12331
12332 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12333 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12334 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12335 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12336 installed as `perl').
12337 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12338
12339 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12340 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12341
12342 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12343 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12344 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12345 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12346 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12347 [Steve Henson]
12348
12349 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12350 [Ben Laurie]
12351
12352 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12353 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12354 is horrible: I feel ill....
12355 [Steve Henson]
12356
12357 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12358 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12359 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12360 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12361 [Steve Henson]
12362
12363 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12365
12366 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12367 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12368 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12370
12371 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12372 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12373 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12374 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12375 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12376 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12377 openssl_bio.xs.
12378 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12379
12380 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12381 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12382
12383 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12384 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12385
12386 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12387 [Ben Laurie]
12388
12389 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12390 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12391 in CRLs.
12392 [Steve Henson]
12393
12394 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12395 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12396 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12397 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12398 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12399 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12400 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12401 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12402 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12403 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12404 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12405
12406 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12407 [Ben Laurie]
12408
12409 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12410 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12411 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12412 for linking it into DSOs.
12413 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12414
12415 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12416 Fixed.
12417 [Ben Laurie]
12418
12419 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12420 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12421 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12422 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12423 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12424 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12425
12426 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12427 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12428 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12429 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12430 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12431 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12432 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12433
12434 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12435 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12436 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12437 encryption.
12438 [Ben Laurie]
12439
12440 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12441 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12442 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12443 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12444 [Steve Henson]
12445
12446 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12447 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12448 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12449 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12450 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12451 field as blank.
12452 [Steve Henson]
12453
12454 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12455 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12456 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12457 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12458 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12459
12460 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12461 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12462 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12463
12464 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12465 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12466
12467 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12468 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12469 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12470 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12471 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12472 [Steve Henson]
12473
12474 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12475 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12476 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12477 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12478 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12479 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12480 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12481 [Ben Laurie]
12482
12483 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12484 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12485 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12486 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12487 [Ben Laurie]
12488
12489 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12490 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12491
12492 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12493 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12494 [Steve Henson]
12495
12496 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12497 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12498 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12499 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12500 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12501 (e.g. s_server).
12502 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12503 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12504 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12505 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12506 no way to reconfigure them.
12507 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12508 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12509 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12510 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12511 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12512 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12513
12514 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12515 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12516 recognized by the users.
12517 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12518
12519 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12520 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12521 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12522 already masked variable.
12523 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12524
12525 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12526 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12527
12528 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12529 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12530 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12531 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12532
12533 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12534 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12536
12537 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12538 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12539 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12540 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12541 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12542 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12543 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12544 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12545 now, too.
12546 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12547
12548 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12549 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12550 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12551
12552 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12553 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12554 config file.
12555 [Steve Henson]
12556
12557 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12558 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12559
12560 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12561 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12562 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12563 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12564 [Ben Laurie]
12565
12566 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12567 [Steve Henson]
12568
12569 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12570 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12571
12572 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12573 [Ben Laurie]
12574
12575 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12576 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12577 [Steve Henson]
12578
12579 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12580 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12581 [Steve Henson]
12582
12583 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12584 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12585 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12586 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12587 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12588 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12589 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12590 Ben Laurie]
12591
12592 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12593 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12594
12595 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12596 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12597 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12598 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12599 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12600
12601 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12602 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12603 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12604 [Steve Henson]
12605
12606 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12607 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12608 an example.
12609 [Steve Henson]
12610
12611 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12612 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12613 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12614
12615 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12616 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12617 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12618 build instructions.
12619 [Steve Henson]
12620
12621 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12622 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12623 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12624 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12625 [Steve Henson]
12626
12627 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12628 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12629 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12630 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12631 [Ben Laurie]
12632
12633 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12634 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12635 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12636 so it wasn't spotted.
12637 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12638
12639 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12640 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12641 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12642 vectors if you have them.
12643 [Ben Laurie]
12644
12645 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12646 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12647 [Ben Laurie]
12648
12649 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12650 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12651 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12652 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12653 If you do a:
12654 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12655 it will update them.
12656 [Steve Henson]
12657
12658 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12659 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12660 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12661 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12662 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12663 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12664 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12665 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12666
12667 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12668 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12669 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12670 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12671 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12672 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12673 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12674 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12675 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12676 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12677
12678 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12679 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12680 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12681 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12682 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12683 [Steve Henson]
12684
12685 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12686 INTEGER code.
12687 [Steve Henson]
12688
12689 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12690 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12691
12692 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12693 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12694
12695 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12696 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12697 [Ben Laurie]
12698
12699 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12700 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12701
12702 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12703 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12704
12705 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12706 [Steve Henson]
12707
12708 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12709 few typos.
12710 [Steve Henson]
12711
12712 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12713 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12714 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12715 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12716
12717 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12718 [Steve Henson]
12719
12720 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12721 [Steve Henson]
12722
12723 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12724 [Steve Henson]
12725
12726 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12727 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12728 [Steve Henson]
12729
12730 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12731 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12732 CA extensions.
12733 [Steve Henson]
12734
12735 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12736 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12737 [Steve Henson]
12738
12739 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12740 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12741 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12742 [Steve Henson]
12743
12744 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12745 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12746 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12747 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12748 properly to be processed.
12749 [Steve Henson]
12750
12751 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12752 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12753 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12754 [Ben Laurie]
12755
12756 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12757 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12758
12759 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12760 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12761 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12762 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12763 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12764 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12765 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12766 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12767 or delete all the .err files.
12768 [Steve Henson]
12769
12770 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12771 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12772 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12773 to regenerate it if needed.
12774 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12775 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12776
12777 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12778 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12779
12780 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12781 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12782 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12783 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12784 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12785 [Steve Henson]
12786
12787 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12788 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12789
12790 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12791 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12792
12793 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12794 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12795 error, but didn't set one).
12796 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12797
12798 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12799 [Ben Laurie]
12800
12801 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12802 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12803 [Steve Henson]
12804
12805 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12806 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12807
12808 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12809 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12810 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12811 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12812 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12813 OID is not part of the table.
12814 [Steve Henson]
12815
12816 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12817 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12818 [Ben Laurie]
12819
12820 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12821 [Ben Laurie]
12822
12823 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12824 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12825 was "1234").
12826 [Steve Henson]
12827
12828 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12829 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12830
12831 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12832 NULL pointers.
12833 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12834
12835 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12836 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12837
12838 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12839 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12840
12841 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12842 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12843
12844 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12845 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12846 [Ben Laurie]
12847
12848 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12849 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12850 [Steve Henson]
12851
12852 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12853 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12854
12855 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12856 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12857
12858 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12859 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12860
12861 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12862 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12863
12864 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12865 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12866 unused in the certificate verification process.
12867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12868
12869 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12870 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12871 [Steve Henson]
12872
12873 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12874 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12875 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12876
12877 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12878 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12879 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12880 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12881 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12882
12883 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12884 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12885 [Steve Henson]
12886
12887 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12888 [Steve Henson]
12889
12890 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12891 [Paul Sutton]
12892
12893 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12894 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12895
12896 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12897 [Ben Laurie]
12898
12899 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12900 [Ben Laurie]
12901
12902 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12903 [Ben Laurie]
12904
12905 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12906 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12907 other error libraries.
12908 [Steve Henson]
12909
12910 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12911 [Steve Henson]
12912
12913 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12914 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12915 be read in.
12916 [Steve Henson]
12917
12918 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12919 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12920 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12921 the new set of documentation files.
12922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12923
12924 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12925 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12926 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12927 number of arguments.
12928 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12929
12930 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12931 [Ben Laurie]
12932
12933 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12934 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12935 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12936
12937 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12938 [Ben Laurie]
12939
12940 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12941 nextstep
12942 ncr-scde
12943 unixware-2.0
12944 unixware-2.0-pentium
12945 sco5-cc.
12946 [Ben Laurie]
12947
12948 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12949 before they are needed.
12950 [Ben Laurie]
12951
12952 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12953 [Ben Laurie]
12954
12955
12956 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12957
12958 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12959 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12961
12962 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12963 [Paul Sutton]
12964
12965 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12966 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12968
12969 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12970 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12971 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12972
12973 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12974 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12975 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12976
12977 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12978 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12979
12980 *) Updated the README file.
12981 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12982
12983 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12984 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12985 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12986
12987 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12988 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12989 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12990
12991 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12992 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12993 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12994 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12995 o removed obsolete TODO file
12996 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12997 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12998
12999 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13000 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13001 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13002 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13003 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13004 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13005 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13006
13007 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13008 [Mark J. Cox]
13009
13010 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13011 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13012 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13013 summer 1998.
13014 [The OpenSSL Project]

13023 [Eric A. Young]
13024
13025 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13026 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13027 [Eric A. Young]
13028
13029 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13030 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13031 available).
13032 [Eric A. Young]
13033
13034 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13035 binary structures
13036 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13037
13038 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13039 [Eric A. Young]
13040
13041 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13042 [Eric A. Young]
13043
13044 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13045 [Eric A. Young]
13046
13047 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13048 [Eric A. Young]
13049
13050 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.

13058
13059 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13060 [Eric A. Young]
13061
13062 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13063 [Eric A. Young]
13064
13065 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13066 [Eric A. Young]
13067
13068 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13069 [Eric A. Young]
13070

13079
13080 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13081 [Eric A. Young]
13082

13084 [Eric A. Young]
13085
13086 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13087 [Eric A. Young]
13088
13089 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13090 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13091 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13092 [Eric A. Young]
13093
13094 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13095 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13096 [Eric A. Young]
13097
13098 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13099 [Eric A. Young]
