3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
8 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
9 which is the minimum version we support.
10 [Richard Levitte]
11
12 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
13 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
14 are no longer allowed.
15 [Emilia Käsper]
16
17 *) Add support for SipHash
18 [Todd Short]
19
20 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
21 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
22 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
23 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
24 [Matt Caswell]
25
26 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
27 using the algorithm defined in
28 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
29 [Richard Levitte]
30
31 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
32 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
33
34 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
35 [Emilia Käsper]
36
37 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
38
39 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
40
41 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
42 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
43 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
44 and servers are affected.
45
46 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
47 (CVE-2017-3733)
48 [Matt Caswell]
49
50 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
51
52 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
53
54 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
55 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
56 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
57
58 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
59 (CVE-2017-3731)
60 [Andy Polyakov]
61
62 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
63
64 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
65 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
66 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
67 of Service attack.
68
69 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
70 (CVE-2017-3730)
71 [Matt Caswell]
72
73 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
74
75 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
76 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
77 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
78 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
79 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
80 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
81 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
82 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
83 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
84 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
85 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
86 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
87 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
88
89 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
90 (CVE-2017-3732)
91 [Andy Polyakov]
92
93 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
94
95 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
96
97 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
98 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
99 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
100
101 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
102 (CVE-2016-7054)
103 [Richard Levitte]
104
105 *) CMS Null dereference
106
107 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
108 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
109 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
110 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
111 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
112 affected.
113
114 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
115 (CVE-2016-7053)
116 [Stephen Henson]
117
118 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
119
120 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
121 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
122 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
123 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
124 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
125 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
126 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
127 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
128 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
129 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
130 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
131 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
132 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
133 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
134
135 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
136 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
137 providing reproducible case.
138 (CVE-2016-7055)
139 [Andy Polyakov]
140
141 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
142 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
143 [Richard Levitte]
144
145 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
146
147 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
148
149 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
150 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
151 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
152 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
153 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
154 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
155
156 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
157
158 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
159 (CVE-2016-6309)
160 [Matt Caswell]
161
162 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
163
164 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
165
166 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
167 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
168 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
169 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
170 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
171 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
172 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
173
174 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
175 (CVE-2016-6304)
176 [Matt Caswell]
177
178 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
179
180 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
181 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
182 Denial Of Service attack.
183
184 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
185 (CVE-2016-6305)
186 [Matt Caswell]
187
188 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
189 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
190
191 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
192 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
193 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
194 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
195 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
196 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
197 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
198 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
199 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
200 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
201 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
202 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
203 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
204 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
205 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
206
207 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
208 that the connection fails
209 or
210 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
211 very little free memory
212 or
213 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
214 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
215 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
216 memory to service the multiple requests.
217
218 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
219 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
220 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
221 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
222 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
223
224 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
225 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
226 [Matt Caswell]
227
228 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
229 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
230 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
231 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
232 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
233 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
234 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
235 [Andy Polyakov]
236
237 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
238
239 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
240 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
241 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
242 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
243 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
244 non-ASCII password.
245 [Andy Polyakov]
246
247 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
248 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
249 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
250 [Rich Salz]
251
252 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
253 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
254 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
255 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
256 [Matt Caswell]
257
258 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
259 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
260 success.
261 [Matt Caswell]
262
263 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
264 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
265 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
266 no-ops and deprecated.
267 [Matt Caswell]
268
269 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
270 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
271 were also closed.
272 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
273
274 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
275 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
276 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
277 [Rich Salz]
278
279 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
280 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
281 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
282 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
283 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
284 and the validity of object reference counter.
285 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
286
287 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
288 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
289 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
290 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
291 [Richard Levitte]
292
293 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
294 [Richard Levitte]
295
296 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
297 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
298 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
299 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
300
301 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
302
303 [Richard Levitte]
304
305 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
306 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
307 [Steve Henson]
308
309 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
310 [Andy Polyakov]
311
312 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
313 [Rich Salz]
314
315 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
316 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
317 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
318 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
319 name and is used as is.
320 [Richard Levitte]
321
322 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
323 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
324 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
325 [Rich Salz]
326
327 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
328 the "no-shared" Configure option.
329 [Matt Caswell]
330
331 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
332 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
333 algorithms.
334 [Matt Caswell]
335
336 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
337 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
338 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
339 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
340 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
341 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
342 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
343 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
344 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
345 [Matt Caswell]
346
347 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
348 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
349 enabled with '--debug' builds.
350 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
351
352 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
353 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
354 these have been added.
355 [Matt Caswell]
356
357 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
358 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
359 functions for managing these have been added.
360 [Richard Levitte]
361
362 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
363 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
364 these have been added.
365 [Matt Caswell]
366
367 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
368 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
369 have been added.
370 [Matt Caswell]
371
372 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
373 [Matt Caswell]
374
375 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
376 [Richard Levitte]
377
378 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
379 it is always safe to #include a header now.
380 [Rich Salz]
381
382 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
383 [Richard Levitte]
384
385 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
386 [Rich Salz]
387
388 *) Add support for HKDF.
389 [Alessandro Ghedini]
390
391 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
392 [Bill Cox]
393
394 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
395 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
396 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
397 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
398 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
399 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
400 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
401 [Matt Caswell]
402
403 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
404 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
405 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
406 [Catriona Lucey]
407
408 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
409 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
410 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
411 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
412 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
413 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
414 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
415
416 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
417 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
418 [Todd Short]
419
420 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
421 [Todd Short]
422
423 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
424 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
425 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
426 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
427 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
428 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
429 default cipherlist.
430 [Emilia Käsper]
431
432 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
433 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
434 [Rich Salz]
435
436 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
437 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
438 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
439 [Matt Caswell]
440
441 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
442 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
443 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
444 implemented by other servers.
445 [Emilia Käsper]
446
447 *) Add X25519 support.
448 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
449 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
450 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
451 key generation and key derivation.
452
453 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
454 X25519(29).
455 [Steve Henson]
456
457 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
458 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
459 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
460 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
461 seed, even if the seed is configured.
462
463 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
464 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
465 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
466 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
467 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
468 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
469 that of a valid user.
470 [Emilia Käsper]
471
472 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
473 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
474 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
475 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
476
477 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
478 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
479
480 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
481 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
482 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
483 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
484
485 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
486 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
487 irrelevant.
488 [Richard Levitte]
489
490 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
491 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
492 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
493 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
494 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
495 of how OpenSSL was configured.
496
497 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
498 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
499 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
500 [Richard Levitte]
501
502 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
503 [Rich Salz]
504
505 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
506 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
507 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
508 removed.
509 [Richard Levitte]
510
511 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
512 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
513 old #define's might need to be updated.
514 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
515
516 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
517 [Rich Salz]
518
519 *) New "unified" build system
520
521 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
522 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
523
524 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
525 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
526 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
527
528 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
529 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
530 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
531 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
532 descrip.mms.tmpl.
533
534 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
535 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
536 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
537 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
538 libraries" in INSTALL.
539
540 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
541 [Richard Levitte]
542
543 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
544 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
545 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
546 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
547 [Matt Caswell]
548
549 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
550 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
551
552 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
553 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
554 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
555 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
556 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
557 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
558 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
559 have been adapted accordingly.
560 [Richard Levitte]
561
562 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
563 the leading 0-byte.
564 [Emilia Käsper]
565
566 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
567 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
568 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
569 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
570 [Emilia Käsper]
571
572 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
573 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
574 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
575 'unsigned char*'.
576 [Emilia Käsper]
577
578 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
579 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
580 [Emilia Käsper]
581
582 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
583 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
584 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
585 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
586 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
587 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
588 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
589
590 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
591 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
592
593 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
594 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
595 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
596 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
597 Text::Template.
598
599 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
600 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
601 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
602 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
603 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
604 %target).
605 [Richard Levitte]
606
607 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
608 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
609 straightforward and less interdependent.
610
611 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
612 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
613 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
614
615 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
616 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
617 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
618 installed.
619 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
620 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
621 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
622 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
623
624 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
625 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
626 [Richard Levitte]
627
628 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
629 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
630 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
631 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
632 is present).
633 [Matt Caswell]
634
635 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
636 configuring.
637 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
638
639 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
640 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
641 before trying to build now.*
642 [Rich Salz]
643
644 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
645 has changed.
646 [Rich Salz]
647
648 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
649
650 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
651 the application's responsibility. The application provides
652 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
653 used to authenticate the peer.
654
655 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
656 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
657 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
658 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
659 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
660 [Viktor Dukhovni]
661
662 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
663 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
664 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
665 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
666 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
667 or the 1.1.0 releases.
668
669 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
670 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
671 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
672 support for the deprecated features from the library and
673 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
674 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
675 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
676 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
677 version.
678
679 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
680 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
681 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
682 compile with later releases.
683
684 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
685 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
686 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
687 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
688 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
689 [Viktor Dukhovni]
690
691 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
692 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
693 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
694 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
695 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
696 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
697 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
698 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
699 [Kurt Roeckx]
700
701 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
702 [Andy Polyakov]
703
704 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
705 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
706 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
707 ECDSA_SIG format.
708
709 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
710 include the ec.h header file instead.
711 [Steve Henson]
712
713 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
714 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
715 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
716 [Kurt Roeckx]
717
718 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
719 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
720 were added:
721
722 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
723 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
724
725 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
726 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
727 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
728
729 Additional changes:
730 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
731 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
732 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
733 an already created structure.
734 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
735 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
736 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
737 for deprecated builds.
738 [Richard Levitte]
739
740 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
741 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
742 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
743 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
744 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
745 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
746 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
747 [Matt Caswell]
748
749 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
750 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
751 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
752 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
753 [Kurt Roeckx]
754
755 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
756 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
757 [Kurt Roeckx]
758
759 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
760 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
761 [Kurt Roeckx]
762
763 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
764 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
765 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
766 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
767 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
768 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
769 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
770 also been removed.
771 [Matt Caswell]
772
773 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
774 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
775 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
776 [Rich Salz]
777
778 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
779 [Rich Salz]
780
781 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
782 sureware and ubsec.
783 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
784
785 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
786
787 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
788 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
789
790 FOO *x;
791
792 it must be:
793
794 FOO x;
795
796 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
797 set a mandatory field to NULL.
798
799 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
800 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
801 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
802 SEQUENCE OF.
803 [Steve Henson]
804
805 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
806 [Emilia Käsper]
807
808 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
809 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
810 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
811 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
812 [Matt Caswell]
813
814 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
815 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
816 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
817 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
818 [Emilia Käsper]
819
820 *) Fix no-stdio build.
821 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
822 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
823
824 *) New testing framework
825 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
826 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
827 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
828 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
829 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
830 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
831
832 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
833
834 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
835 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
836
837 [Richard Levitte]
838
839 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
840 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
841 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
842 and others were changed. All are now documented.
843 [Rich Salz]
844
845 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
846 return an error
847 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
848
849 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
850 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
851
852 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
853 original RSA_PSK patch.
854 [Steve Henson]
855
856 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
857 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
858 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
859 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
860 [Matt Caswell]
861
862 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
863 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
864 [Richard Levitte]
865
866 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
867 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
868 hasn't been working properly for a while.
869 [Emilia Käsper]
870
871 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
872 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
873 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
874 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
875 transferred.
876 [Matt Caswell]
877
878 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
879 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
880 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
881 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
882 [Matt Caswell]
883
884 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
885 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
886 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
887 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
888 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
889 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
890 [Matt Caswell]
891
892 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
893 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
894 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
895 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
896 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
897 header file has been removed.
898 [Matt Caswell]
899
900 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
901 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
902 [Matt Caswell]
903
904 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
905 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
906 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
907
908 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
909 Added a test.
910 [Rich Salz]
911
912 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
913 [Rich Salz]
914
915 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
916 sha256
917 [Rich Salz]
918
919 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
920 [Matt Caswell]
921
922 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
923 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
924 initial patch which was a great help during development.
925 [Steve Henson]
926
927 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
928 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
929 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
930 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
931 [Matt Caswell]
932
933 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
934 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
935 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
936 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
937 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
938 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
939 [Matt Caswell]
940
941 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
942 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
943 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
944 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
945 [Matt Caswell]
946
947 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
948 compatible client hello.
949 [Kurt Roeckx]
950
951 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
952 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
953 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
954
955 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
956 [Rich Salz]
957
958 *) Removed old DES API.
959 [Rich Salz]
960
961 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
962 Sony NEWS4
963 BEOS and BEOS_R5
964 NeXT
965 SUNOS
966 MPE/iX
967 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
968 DGUX
969 NCR
970 Tandem
971 Cray
972 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
973 [Rich Salz]
974
975 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
976 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
977 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
978 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
979 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
980 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
981 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
982 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
983 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
984 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
985 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
986 [Rich Salz]
987
988 *) Cleaned up dead code
989 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
990 [Rich Salz]
991
992 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
993 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
994 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
995 [Rich Salz]
996
997 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
998 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
999 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1000 [Rich Salz]
1001
1002 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1003 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1004 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1005
1006 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1007 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1008 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1009
1010 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1011 compilation flags.
1012 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1013
1014 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1015 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1016 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1017
1018 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1019 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1020
1021 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1022 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1023 server.
1024
1025 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1026 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1027 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1028 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1029
1030 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1031 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1032 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1033 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1034
1035 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1036 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1037 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1038
1039 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1040 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1041 [Steve Henson]
1042
1043 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1044
1045 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1046 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1047
1048 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1049 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1050
1051 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1052 effect.
1053
1054 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1055
1056 [Steve Henson]
1057
1058 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1059 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1060 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1061 algorithms and include tests cases.
1062 [Steve Henson]
1063
1064 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1065 enveloped data.
1066 [Steve Henson]
1067
1068 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1069 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1073 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1074
1075 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1076 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1077 [Steve Henson]
1078
1079 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1080 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1081 failures.
1082 [Steve Henson]
1083
1084 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1085 sign or verify all in one operation.
1086 [Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1089 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1090 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1091 [Steve Henson]
1092
1093 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1094 [Steve Henson]
1095
1096 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1097 [Steve Henson]
1098
1099 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1100 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1101 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1102 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1103 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1104 [Steve Henson]
1105
1106 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1107 based on NID.
1108 [Steve Henson]
1109
1110 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1111 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1112 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1113 [Steve Henson]
1114
1115 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1116 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1117
1118 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1119 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1120 [Steve Henson]
1121
1122 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1123 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1124 [Steve Henson]
1125
1126 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1127 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1128 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1129 [Steve Henson]
1130
1131 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1132 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1133 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1134 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1135 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1136 requested amount of entropy.
1137 [Steve Henson]
1138
1139 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1140 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1141 [Steve Henson]
1142
1143 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1144 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1145 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1146 support.
1147 [Steve Henson]
1148
1149 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1150 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1151 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1155 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1156 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1157 will never use XTS mode.
1158 [Steve Henson]
1159
1160 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1161 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1162 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1163 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1164 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1165 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1166 [Steve Henson]
1167
1168 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1169 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1170 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1171 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1172 [Steve Henson]
1173
1174 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1175 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1176 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1177 [Steve Henson]
1178
1179 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1183 [Steve Henson]
1184
1185 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1186 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1187 [Steve Henson]
1188
1189 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1190 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1194 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1198 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1199 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1200 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1201 and rename any affected symbols.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1205 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1209 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1210 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1211 [Steve Henson]
1212
1213 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1217 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1218 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1222 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1223 [Steve Henson]
1224
1225 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1226 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1227 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1228 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1229 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1230 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1231 set before the key.
1232 [Steve Henson]
1233
1234 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1235 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1236 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1237 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1238 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1239 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1240 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1241 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1242 [Steve Henson]
1243
1244 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1245 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1246 [Steve Henson]
1247
1248 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1249
1250 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1251 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1252
1253 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1254 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1255 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1256 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1257 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1258 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1259
1260 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1261 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1262 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1263 security.
1264 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1265
1266 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1267 parameters by name.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1271 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1272 [Steve Henson]
1273
1274 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1275 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1276 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1277 [Steve Henson]
1278
1279 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1280 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1281 multi-process servers.
1282 [Steve Henson]
1283
1284 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1285 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1286 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1287 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1288 RAND_METHOD structure.
1289 [Steve Henson]
1290
1291 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1292 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1293 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1294 whose return value is often ignored.
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1298 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1299 validated when establishing a connection.
1300 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]

1302 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1303
1304 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1305
1306 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1307 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1308 AES-NI.
1309
1310 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1311 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1312 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1313 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1314 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1315 bytes.
1316
1317 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1318 (CVE-2016-2107)
1319 [Kurt Roeckx]
1320
1321 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1322
1323 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1324 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1325 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1326 corruption.
1327
1328 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1329 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1330 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1331 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1332 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1333 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1334
1335 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1336 (CVE-2016-2105)
1337 [Matt Caswell]
1338
1339 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1340
1341 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1342 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1343 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1344 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1345 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1346 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1347 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1348 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1349 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1350 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1351 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1352 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1353 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1354 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1355 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1356 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1357
1358 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1359 (CVE-2016-2106)
1360 [Matt Caswell]
1361
1362 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1363
1364 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1365 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1366 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1367
1368 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1369 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1370 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1371 applications are not affected.
1372
1373 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1374 (CVE-2016-2109)
1375 [Stephen Henson]
1376
1377 *) EBCDIC overread
1378
1379 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1380 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1381 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1382
1383 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1384 (CVE-2016-2176)
1385 [Matt Caswell]
1386
1387 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1388 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1389 [Todd Short]
1390
1391 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1392 default.
1393 [Kurt Roeckx]
1394
1395 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1396 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1397 [Kurt Roeckx]
1398
1399 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1400
1401 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1402 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1403 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1404 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1405
1406 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1407 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1408 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1409 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1410 will need to explicitly call either of:
1411
1412 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1413 or
1414 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1415
1416 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1417 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1418 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1419 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1420 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1421 (CVE-2016-0800)
1422 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1423
1424 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1425
1426 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1427 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1428 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1429 considered rare.
1430
1431 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1432 libFuzzer.
1433 (CVE-2016-0705)
1434 [Stephen Henson]
1435
1436 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1437
1438 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1439
1440 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1441 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1442 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1443 is configured.
1444
1445 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1446 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1447 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1448 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1449 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1450 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1451 that of a valid user.
1452 (CVE-2016-0798)
1453 [Emilia Käsper]
1454
1455 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1456
1457 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1458 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1459 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1460 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1461 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1462 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1463 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1464 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1465 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1466 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1467 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1468
1469 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1470 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1471 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1472 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1473 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1474
1475 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1476 (CVE-2016-0797)
1477 [Matt Caswell]
1478
1479 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1480
1481 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1482 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1483 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1484
1485 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1486 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1487 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1488 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1489 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1490 also occur.
1491
1492 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1493 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1494 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1495 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1496 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1497 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1498 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1499 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1500 as command line arguments.
1501
1502 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1503 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1504 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1505
1506 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1507 (CVE-2016-0799)
1508 [Matt Caswell]
1509
1510 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1511
1512 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1513 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1514 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1515 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1516 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.

1522 (CVE-2016-0702)
1523 [Andy Polyakov]
1524
1525 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1526 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1527 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1528 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1531 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1532 *) DH small subgroups
1533
1534 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1535 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1536 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1537 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1538 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1539 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1540 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1541 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1542 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1543 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1544
1545 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1546 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1547 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1548 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1549 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1550
1551 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1552 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1553 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1554 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1555
1556 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1557 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1558
1559 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1560 (CVE-2016-0701)
1561 [Matt Caswell]
1562
1563 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1564
1565 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1566 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1567 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1568 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1569

1576
1577 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1578
1579 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1580 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1581 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1582 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1583 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1584 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1585 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1586 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1587 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1588 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1589 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1590 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1593 (CVE-2015-3193)
1594 [Andy Polyakov]
1595
1596 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1597
1598 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1599 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1600 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1601 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1602 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1603 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1604 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1605 authentication.
1606
1607 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1608 (CVE-2015-3194)
1609 [Stephen Henson]
1610
1611 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1612
1613 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1614 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1615 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1616 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1617
1618 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1619 libFuzzer.
1620 (CVE-2015-3195)
1621 [Stephen Henson]
1622
1623 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1624 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1625 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1626 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1633 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1634
1635 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1636
1637 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1638 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1639 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1640 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1641 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1642 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1643
1644 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1645 (Google/BoringSSL).

1647
1648 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1649

1651 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1652 restored.

1654
1655 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1656
1657 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1658
1659 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1660 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1661 field.
1662
1663 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1664 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1665 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1666 client authentication enabled.
1667
1668 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1669 (CVE-2015-1788)
1670 [Andy Polyakov]
1671
1672 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1673
1674 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1675 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1676 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1677 time string.
1678
1679 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1680 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1681 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1682 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1683 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1684 callbacks.
1685
1686 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1687 independently by Hanno Böck.
1688 (CVE-2015-1789)
1689 [Emilia Käsper]
1690
1691 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1692
1693 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1694 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1695 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1696
1697 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1698 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1699 servers are not affected.
1700
1701 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1702 (CVE-2015-1790)
1703 [Emilia Käsper]
1704
1705 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1706
1707 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1708 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1709 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1710 the CMS code.
1711 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1712 (CVE-2015-1792)
1713 [Stephen Henson]
1714
1715 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1716
1717 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1718 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1719 a double free of the ticket data.
1720 (CVE-2015-1791)
1721 [Matt Caswell]
1722

1728 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1729
1730 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1731
1732 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1733 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1734 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1735
1736 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1737 University.
1738 (CVE-2015-0291)
1739 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1740
1741 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1742
1743 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1744 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1745 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1746 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1747 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1748 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1749 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1750 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1751
1752 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1753 (CVE-2015-0290)
1754 [Matt Caswell]
1755
1756 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1757
1758 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1759 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1760 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1761 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1762 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1763 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1764 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1765 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1766 server.
1767
1768 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1769 (CVE-2015-0207)
1770 [Matt Caswell]
1771
1772 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1773
1774 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1775 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1776 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1777 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1778 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1779 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1780 (CVE-2015-0286)
1781 [Stephen Henson]
1782
1783 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1784
1785 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1786 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1787 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1788 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1789 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1790 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1791 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1792
1793 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1794 (CVE-2015-0208)
1795 [Stephen Henson]
1796
1797 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1798
1799 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1800 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1801 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1802
1803 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1804 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1805 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1806 not affected.
1807 (CVE-2015-0287)
1808 [Stephen Henson]
1809
1810 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1811
1812 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1813 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1814 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1815
1816 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1817 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1818 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1819
1820 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1821 (CVE-2015-0289)
1822 [Emilia Käsper]
1823
1824 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1825
1826 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1827 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1828 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1829
1830 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1831 (OpenSSL development team).
1832 (CVE-2015-0293)
1833 [Emilia Käsper]
1834
1835 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1836
1837 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1838 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1839 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1840 (CVE-2015-1787)
1841 [Matt Caswell]
1842
1843 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1844
1845 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1846 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1847 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1848 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1849 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1850 SSL_client_methodv23)
1851 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1852 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1853
1854 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1855 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1856 output may be predictable.
1857
1858 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1859 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1860
1861 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1862 (CVE-2015-0285)
1863 [Matt Caswell]
1864
1865 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1866
1867 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1868 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1869 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1870 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1871 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1872 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1873
1874 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1875 commit 517073cd4b.
1876 (CVE-2015-0209)
1877 [Matt Caswell]
1878
1879 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1880
1881 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1882 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1883
1884 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.

1890
1891 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1892
1893 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1894 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1895 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1896 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1897 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1898 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1899 [Andy Polyakov]
1900
1901 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1902 (other platforms pending).

1905 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1906 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1907 [Rob Stradling]
1908
1909 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1910 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1911 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1912 [Bodo Moeller]
1913
1914 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1915 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1916 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1917 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1918 [Andy Polyakov]
1919
1920 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1921 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1922
1923 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1924 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1925 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1926 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1927 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1928
1929 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1930 [Andy Polyakov]
1931
1932 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1933 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1934 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1935 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1936
1937 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1938 RSAZ.
1939 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1940
1941 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1942 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1943 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1944 for TLS encrypt.
1945
1946 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1947 [Andy Polyakov]
1948
1949 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1950 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1951 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1952 [Steve Henson]
1953
1954 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1955 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1956 [Steve Henson]
1957
1958 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1959 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1960 [Steve Henson]
1961
1962 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1963 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1964 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1965 algorithms and include tests cases.
1966 [Steve Henson]
1967
1968 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1969 structure.
1970 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1971
1972 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1973 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1974 [Steve Henson]
1975
1976 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1977 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1978 summary of the connection parameters.
1979 [Steve Henson]
1980
1981 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1982 of connection parameters.
1983 [Steve Henson]
1984
1985 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1986 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1987
1988 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1989 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1990 [Steve Henson]
1991
1992 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1993 [Steve Henson]
1994
1995 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1996 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1997 [Steve Henson]
1998
1999 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2000 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2001 [Steve Henson]
2002
2003 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2004 certificates.
2005 [Steve Henson]
2006
2007 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2008 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2009 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2010 [Steve Henson]
2011
2012 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2013 [Steve Henson]
2014
2015 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2016 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2017 [Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2020 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2021 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2022 tracing.
2023 [Steve Henson]
2024
2025 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2026 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2027 [Steve Henson]
2028
2029 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2030 OID NID.
2031 [Steve Henson]
2032
2033 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2034 client to OpenSSL.
2035 [Steve Henson]
2036
2037 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2038 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2039 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2040 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2041 [Steve Henson]
2042
2043 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2044 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2045 [Steve Henson]
2046
2047 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2048 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2049 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2050 comparison.
2051 [Steve Henson]
2052
2053 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2054 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2055 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2056 use the certificate.
2057 [Steve Henson]
2058
2059 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2060 [Steve Henson]
2061
2062 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2063 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2064 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2065 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2066 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2067 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2068 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2069
2070 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2071 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2072
2073 [Steve Henson]
2074
2075 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2076 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2077 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2078 [Steve Henson]
2079
2080 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2081 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2082 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2083 supported signature algorithms.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2087 [Steve Henson]
2088
2089 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2090 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2091 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2092 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2093 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2094 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2095 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2099 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2100 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2101 to have similar checks in it.
2102
2103 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2104 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2105 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2106 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2107 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2111 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2112 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2113 shared signature algorithms.
2114 [Steve Henson]
2115
2116 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2117 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2118 to support them.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2122 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2123 it couldn't be removed.
2124 [Steve Henson]
2125
2126 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2127 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2131 functions. Add manual page.
2132 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2133
2134 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2135 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2136 a certificate.
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2140 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2141
2142 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2143 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2144 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2145 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2146 utility) or reject.
2147 [Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2150 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2151 [Steve Henson]
2152
2153 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2154 platform support for Linux and Android.
2155 [Andy Polyakov]
2156
2157 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2158 [Andy Polyakov]
2159
2160 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2161 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2162 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2163 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2164 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2165 [Steve Henson]
2166
2167 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2168 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2169 the new parameter format automatically.
2170 [Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2173 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2174 [Steve Henson]
2175
2176 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2177 [Steve Henson]
2178
2179 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2180 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2181 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2182 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2183 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2184 [Steve Henson]
2185
2186 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2187 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2188 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2189 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2190 to set list of supported curves.
2191 [Steve Henson]
2192
2193 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2194 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2195 to print out received values.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2199 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2200 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2204 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2208 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2212 certificates.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2216 the certificate.
2217 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2218 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2219 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2220
2221 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2222
2223 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2224 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2225
2226 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2227
2228 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2229 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2230 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2231 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2232 (CVE-2014-3571)
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2236 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2237 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2238 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2239 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2240 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2241 (CVE-2015-0206)
2242 [Matt Caswell]
2243
2244 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2245 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2246 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2247 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2248 (CVE-2014-3569)
2249 [Kurt Roeckx]
2250
2251 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2252 ECDH ciphersuites.
2253
2254 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2255 reporting this issue.
2256 (CVE-2014-3572)
2257 [Steve Henson]
2258
2259 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2260 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2261 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2262 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2263 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2264 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2265 (CVE-2015-0204)
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2269 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2270 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2271 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2272 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2273 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2274 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2275 this issue.
2276 (CVE-2015-0205)
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2280 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2281
2282 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2283 and can vary with the CTX.
2284 [Adam Langley]
2285
2286 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2287
2288 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2289 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2290 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2291 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2292 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2293
2294 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2295
2296 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2297 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2298
2299 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2300
2301 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2302 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2303 errors for some broken certificates.
2304
2305 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2306
2307 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2308
2309 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2310 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2311
2312 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2313 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2314 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2315 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2316
2317 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2318 of the OpenSSL core team.
2319
2320 (CVE-2014-8275)
2321 [Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2324 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2325 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2326 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2327 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2328 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2329 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2330 the OpenSSL core team.
2331 (CVE-2014-3570)
2332 [Andy Polyakov]
2333
2334 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2335 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2336 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2337 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2338 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2339
2340 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2341 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2342 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2343 [Emilia Käsper]
2344
2345 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2346 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2347 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2348 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2349 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2350
2351 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2352 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2353 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2354 [Emilia Käsper]
2355
2356 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2357
2358 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2359
2360 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2361 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2362 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2363 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2364 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2365 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2366 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2367
2368 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2369 (CVE-2014-3513)
2370 [OpenSSL team]
2371
2372 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2373
2374 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2375 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2376 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2377 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2378 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2379 attack.
2380 (CVE-2014-3567)
2381 [Steve Henson]
2382
2383 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2384
2385 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2386 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2387 configured to send them.
2388 (CVE-2014-3568)
2389 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2390
2391 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2392 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2393 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2394 (CVE-2014-3566)
2395 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2396
2397 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2398
2399 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2400 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2401 DigestInfo structures.
2402
2403 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2404
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2408
2409 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2410 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2411 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2412
2413 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2414 Group for discovering this issue.
2415 (CVE-2014-3512)
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2419 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2420 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2421 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2422 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2423
2424 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2425 researching this issue.
2426 (CVE-2014-3511)
2427 [David Benjamin]
2428
2429 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2430 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2431 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2432 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2433
2434 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2435 issue.
2436 (CVE-2014-3510)
2437 [Emilia Käsper]
2438
2439 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2440 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2441 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2442 (CVE-2014-3507)
2443 [Adam Langley]
2444
2445 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2446 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2447 Denial of Service attack.
2448 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2449 (CVE-2014-3506)
2450 [Adam Langley]
2451
2452 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2453 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2454 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2455 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2456 this issue.
2457 (CVE-2014-3505)
2458 [Adam Langley]
2459
2460 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2461 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2462 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2463
2464 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2465 issue.
2466 (CVE-2014-3509)
2467 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2468
2469 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2470 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2471 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2472 Denial of Service attack.
2473
2474 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2475 discovering and researching this issue.
2476 (CVE-2014-5139)
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2480 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2481 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2482 output to the attacker.
2483
2484 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2485 (CVE-2014-3508)
2486 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2487
2488 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2489 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2490 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2491 [Bodo Moeller]
2492
2493 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2494
2495 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2496 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2497 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2498
2499 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2500 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2501 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2504 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2505 in a DoS attack.
2506
2507 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2508 (CVE-2014-0221)
2509 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2510
2511 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2512 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2513 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2514 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2515
2516 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2517 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2520 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2521
2522 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2523 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2524 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2525
2526 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2527 compilation flags.
2528 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2529
2530 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2531 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2532 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2533
2534 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2535 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2536
2537 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2538
2539 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2540 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2541 server.
2542
2543 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2544 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2545 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2546 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2547
2548 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2549 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2550 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2551 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2552
2553 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2554 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2555 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2556
2557 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2558
2559 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2560 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2561 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2562 is at least 512 bytes long.
2563
2564 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2565
2566 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2567
2568 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2569 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2570 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2571 (CVE-2013-4353)
2572
2573 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2574 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2575 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2576 [Steve Henson]
2577
2578 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2579 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2580 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2581 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2582 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2583 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2584 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2585
2586 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2587
2588 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2589 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2590 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2591
2592 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2593
2594 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2595
2596 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2597 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2598 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2599
2600 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2601 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2602 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2603 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2604 (CVE-2013-0169)
2605 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2606
2607 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2608 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2609 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2610 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2611 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2612 (CVE-2012-2686)
2613 [Adam Langley]
2614
2615 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2616 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2617 [Steve Henson]
2618
2619 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2620 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2621
2622 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2623 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2624 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2625 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2626 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2627
2628 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2629 [Steve Henson]
2630
2631 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2632 if renegotiating.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2636
2637 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2638 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2639
2640 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2641 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2642 (CVE-2012-2333)
2643 [Steve Henson]
2644
2645 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2646 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2647 [Steve Henson]
2648
2649 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2650 approved.
2651 [Steve Henson]
2652
2653 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2654
2655 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2656 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2657 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2658 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2659 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2660 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2661 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2662 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2663 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2664 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2668 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2669 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2670 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2671 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2672 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2673 client side.
2674 [Andy Polyakov]
2675
2676 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2677
2678 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2679 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2680 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2681
2682 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2683 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2684 (CVE-2012-2110)
2685 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2686
2687 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2688 [Adam Langley]
2689
2690 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2691 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2692
2693 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2694 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2695 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2696 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2697 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2698 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2699 Most broken servers should now work.
2700 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2701 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2705 [Andy Polyakov]
2706
2707 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2708
2709 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2710 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2711 [Steve Henson]
2712
2713 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2714 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2715 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2716 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2717 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2718 [Steve Henson]
2719
2720 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2721 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2722 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2723 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2724 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2725 [Steve Henson]
2726
2727 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2728 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2729
2730 *) Add support for SCTP.
2731 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2732
2733 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2734 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2735
2736 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2737
2738 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2739 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2740 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2741 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2742 - s390x: z196 support;
2743 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2744
2745 [Andy Polyakov]
2746
2747 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2748 (removal of unnecessary code)
2749 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2750
2751 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2752 [Eric Rescorla]
2753
2754 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2755 [Eric Rescorla]
2756
2757 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2758 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2759 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2760 by Google.
2761 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2762
2763 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2764 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2765 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2766 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2767 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2768
2769 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2770 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2771 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2772
2773 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2774 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2775 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2776
2777 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2778 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2779 implementations).
2780 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2781
2782 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2783 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2784 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2788 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2789 particular PSS.
2790 [Steve Henson]
2791
2792 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2793 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2794 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2795 [Steve Henson]
2796
2797 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2798 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2799 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2800 the appropriate parameters.
2801 [Steve Henson]
2802
2803 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2804 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2805 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2806 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2807 against a number of sample certificates.
2808 [Steve Henson]
2809
2810 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2811 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2812
2813 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2814 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2815
2816 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2817 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2818 parameters r, s.
2819 [Steve Henson]
2820
2821 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2822 RFC3211.
2823 [Steve Henson]
2824
2825 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2826 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2827 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2828 password based CMS).
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Session-handling fixes:
2832 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2833 but also support Session Tickets.
2834 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2835 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2836 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2837 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2838 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2839 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2840
2841 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2842 [Bodo Moeller]
2843
2844 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2845
2846 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2847 [Andy Polyakov]
2848
2849 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2850 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2851 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2852 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2853 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2857 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2861 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2862 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2863 [Steve Henson]
2864
2865 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2866 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2867 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2868 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2872 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2873 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2874 [Steve Henson]
2875
2876 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2877 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2880 [Steve Henson]
2881
2882 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2883 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2887 [Steve Henson]
2888
2889 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2890 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2891 [Steve Henson]
2892
2893 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2894 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2898 [Steve Henson]
2899
2900 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2901 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2902 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2912 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2916 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2917 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2921 [Steve Henson]
2922
2923 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2924 and enable MD5.
2925 [Steve Henson]
2926
2927 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2928 FIPS modules versions.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2932 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2933 until after the certificate request message is received.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2937 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2938 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2939 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2943 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2944 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2945 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2946 [Steve Henson]
2947
2948 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2949 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2950 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2951 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2952 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2953 and version checking.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2957 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2958 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2959 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) Add SRP support.
2963 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2964
2965 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2966 [Steve Henson]
2967
2968 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2969 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2970 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2971
2972 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2973 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2974 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2975 [Steve Henson]
2976
2977 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2978 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2981 a few changes are required:
2982
2983 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2984 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2985 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2986 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2987 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2988 [Steve Henson]
2989
2990 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2991
2992 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2993 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2994 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2995 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2996 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2997 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2998 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2999 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3000 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3004 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3005 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3006 [Steve Henson]
3007
3008 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3009
3010 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3011 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3012 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3013 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3014 [Antonio Martin]
3015
3016 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3017
3018 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3019 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3020 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3021 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3022 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3023 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3024 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3025 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3026 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3027 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3028 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3029 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3030 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3031
3032 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3033 (CVE-2011-4576)
3034 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3035
3036 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3037 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3038 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3039 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3040
3041 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3042 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3043
3044 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3045 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3046 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3047 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3048
3049 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3050 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3051
3052 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3053 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3054
3055 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3056 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3057
3058 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3059 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3060 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3061
3062 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3063 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3064 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3065
3066 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3067 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3068 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3069 the last update always remained unused).
3070 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3071
3072 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3073 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3074
3075 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3076
3077 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3078 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3079 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3080
3081 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3082 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3083 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3084
3085 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3086 [Bodo Moeller]
3087
3088 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3089 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3090 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3091 [Steve Henson]
3092
3093 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3094 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3095
3096 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3097
3098 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3099
3100 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3101
3102 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3103 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3104
3105 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3106 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3107 ambiguous.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3111
3112 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3113 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3114 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3115 [Steve Henson]
3116
3117 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3118 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3119 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3120 [Ben Laurie]
3121
3122 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3123
3124 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3125 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3126 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128
3129 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3130 a DLL.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3134
3135 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3136 (CVE-2010-1633)
3137 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3138
3139 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3140
3141 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3142 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3143 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3144 [Steve Henson]
3145
3146 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3150 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3151 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3152
3153 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3154 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3155 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3159 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3160 [Steve Henson]
3161
3162 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3163 some responders need this.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3167 correctly.
3168 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3169
3170 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3171 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3172 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3179 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3180 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3181 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3182 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3183 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3184 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3185 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3189 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3190 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3191 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3192
3193 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3194 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3195
3196 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3197 be used on C++.
3198 [Steve Henson]
3199
3200 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3201 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3202 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3203 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3204 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3205 attempting to work them out.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3209 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3210 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3211 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3212 [Steve Henson]
3213
3214 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3215 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3216 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3217 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3218 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3222 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3223 you can do:
3224
3225 openssl sha256 foo
3226
3227 as well as:
3228
3229 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3230
3231 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3232
3233 [Steve Henson]
3234
3235 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3236 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3237
3238 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3239 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3242 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3243 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3244 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3245 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3246 [Steve Henson]
3247
3248 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3249 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3250 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3251 [Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3254 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3258 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3259
3260 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3261 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3262 [Steve Henson]
3263
3264 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3265 [Ben Laurie]
3266
3267 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3268 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3269 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3270 CONF_VALUE.
3271 [Ben Laurie]
3272
3273 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3274 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3275 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3276 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3277 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3278 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3282 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3283
3284 This work was sponsored by Google.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3288 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3289 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3290 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3291 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3292 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3293 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3294 default.
3295
3296 This work was sponsored by Google.
3297 [Steve Henson]
3298
3299 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3300
3301 This work was sponsored by Google.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3305 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3306 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3307 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3308
3309 This work was sponsored by Google.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3313 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3314 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3315 CRL functionality in future.
3316
3317 This work was sponsored by Google.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3321
3322 This work was sponsored by Google.
3323 [Steve Henson]
3324
3325 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3326 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3327
3328 This work was sponsored by Google.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3332 and URI types are currently supported.
3333
3334 This work was sponsored by Google.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3338 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3339 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3340 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3341 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3342 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3343 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3344 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3345
3346 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3347 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3348 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3349
3350 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3351 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3352 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3353 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3354
3355 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3356 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3357 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3358 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3359 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3360 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3361 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3362 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3363 of &errno.)
3364 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3365
3366 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3367 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3368 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3369
3370 This work was sponsored by Google.
3371 [Steve Henson]
3372
3373 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3374 [Ben Laurie]
3375
3376 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3377 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3378 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3379 [Ben Laurie]
3380
3381 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3382 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3383 [Nick Mathewson]
3384
3385 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3386 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3387 [Ben Laurie]
3388
3389 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3390 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3391 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3392 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3393 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3394 content types and variants.
3395 [Steve Henson]
3396
3397 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3398 [Steve Henson]
3399
3400 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3401 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3402 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3403 files from the associated perl scripts.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3407 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3408 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3409
3410 *) s390x assembler pack.
3411 [Andy Polyakov]
3412
3413 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3414 "family."
3415 [Andy Polyakov]
3416
3417 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3418 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3419 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3420 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3421 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3422 to use. For example, specify an option
3423
3424 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3425
3426 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3427 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3428 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3429 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3430 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3431 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3432
3433 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3434 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3435 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3436 return non-zero for success.
3437
3438 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3439 by using
3440
3441 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3442 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3443
3444 where
3445
3446 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3447 void *arg;
3448
3449 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3450 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3451 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3452 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3453 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3454 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3455 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3456 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3457 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3458
3459 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3460 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3461 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3462 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3463 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3464 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3465
3466 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3467 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3468 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3469 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3470 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3471 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3472
3473 [Bodo Moeller]
3474
3475 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3476 MAC.
3477
3478 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3479
3480 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3481 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3482 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3483 supported.
3484
3485 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3486 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3487 SSL_SESSION.
3488
3489 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3490 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3491 with no application modification.
3492
3493 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3494 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3495
3496 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3497 or server extensions to be examined.
3498
3499 This work was sponsored by Google.
3500 [Steve Henson]
3501
3502 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3503 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3504 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3507 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3508 ciphersuite support.
3509 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3512 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3513 to output in BER and PEM format.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3517 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3518 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3519 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3520 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3521 [Steve Henson]
3522
3523 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3524 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3525 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3526 utility.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3530 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3531 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3532 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3533 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3534 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3535 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3536 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3537 enabled again.
3538
3539 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3540 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3541 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3542 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3543
3544 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3545 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3546 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3547 the default order.
3548 [Bodo Moeller]
3549
3550 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3551 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3552 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3553 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3554 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3555 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3556 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3557 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3558 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3559
3560 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3561 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3562 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3563 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3564 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3565 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3566 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3567 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3568 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3569 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3570 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3571 kinds of kludges.
3572
3573 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3574 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3575 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3576
3577 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3578 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3579 "CAMELLIA256".
3580 [Bodo Moeller]
3581
3582 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3583 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3584 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3585 [Nils Larsch]
3586
3587 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3588 it yet and it is largely untested.
3589 [Steve Henson]
3590
3591 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3592 [Nils Larsch]
3593
3594 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3595 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3596 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3600 [Andy Polyakov]
3601
3602 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3603 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3604 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3605 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3606 [Steve Henson]
3607
3608 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3609 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3610 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3611 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3612 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3616 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3617 [Cryptocom]
3618
3619 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3620 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3621 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3622 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3623 [Steve Henson]
3624
3625 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3626 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3627 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3628 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3632 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3633 [Steve Henson]
3634
3635 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3636 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3637 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3638 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3642 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3643 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3647 utility.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3651 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3655 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3656 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3657 if necessary.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3661 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3662 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3666 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3667 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3668 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3669 [Steve Henson]
3670
3671 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3672 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3673 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3674 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3675 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3676 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3677 [Douglas Stebila]
3678
3679 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3680 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3681 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3682 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3683 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3684
3685 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3686 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3687 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3688 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3689 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3690 protocol).
3691
3692 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3693 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3694 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3695 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3696
3697 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3698 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3699 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3700 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3701 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3702
3703 aECDH - ECDH cert
3704 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3705 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3706
3707 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3708 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3709
3710 [Bodo Moeller]
3711
3712 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3713 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3714 [Steve Henson]
3715
3716 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3717 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3721 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3722 functional reference processing.
3723 [Steve Henson]
3724
3725 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3726 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3727 process.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3731 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3732 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3733 [Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3736 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3737 application to support multiple signers.
3738 [Steve Henson]
3739
3740 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3741 digest MAC.
3742 [Steve Henson]
3743
3744 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3745 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3746 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3747 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3748 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3752 new API.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3756 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3757 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3758 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3759 a no op.
3760 [Steve Henson]
3761
3762 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3763 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3764 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3765 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3766 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3767 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3768 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3769 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3770 [Steve Henson]
3771
3772 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3773 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3774 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3775 between digests and public key types.
3776 [Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3779 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3780 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3781 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3782 [Steve Henson]
3783
3784 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3785 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3786 key ASN1 method.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3793 pkeyutl.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3797 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3798 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3799 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3800 pkey, genpkey.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) BeOS support.
3804 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3805
3806 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3807 manual pages.
3808 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3809
3810 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3811 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3812 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3813 functionality for RSA.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3817 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3818 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3819 [Steve Henson]
3820
3821 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3822 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3823 [Steve Henson]
3824
3825 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3826 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3827 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3831 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3832 [Douglas Stebila]
3833
3834 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3835 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3839 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3840 type.
3841 [Steve Henson]
3842
3843 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3844 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3845 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3846 structure.
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3850 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3851 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3852 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3853 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3854 of public and private key structures.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3858 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3859 [Douglas Stebila]
3860
3861 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3862 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3863 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3864
3865 New ciphersuites:
3866 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3867 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3868
3869 New functions:
3870 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3871 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3872 SSL_get_psk_identity
3873 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3874
3875 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3876
3877 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3878 and response verification functionality.
3879 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3880
3881 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3882 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3883 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3884 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3885 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3886 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3887 server_name extension.
3888
3889 New functions (subject to change):
3890
3891 SSL_get_servername()
3892 SSL_get_servername_type()
3893 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3894
3895 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3896
3897 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3898 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3899 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3900 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3901 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3902
3903 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3904
3905 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3906 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3907 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3908 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3909 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3910 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3911 option.
3912
3913 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3914
3915 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3916 [Andy Polyakov]
3917
3918 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3919 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3920 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3921 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3922 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3923 [Andy Polyakov]
3924
3925 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3926 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3927 macro.
3928 [Bodo Moeller]
3929
3930 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3931 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3932 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3933 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3934 [Andy Polyakov]
3935
3936 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3937 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3938 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3939 using the maximum available value.
3940 [Steve Henson]
3941
3942 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3943 in addition to the text details.
3944 [Bodo Moeller]
3945
3946 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3947 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3948 handle several customised structures at all.
3949 [Steve Henson]
3950
3951 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3952 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3953 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955
3956 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3957 [Steve Henson]
3958
3959 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3960 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3961 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3962 [Steve Henson]
3963
3964 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3965 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3966 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3967 [Nils Larsch]
3968
3969 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3970 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3971 all fields.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3975 [Steve Henson]
3976
3977 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3978 [NTT]
3979
3980 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3981
3982 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3983 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3984 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3985 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3986 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3987 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3988 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3989 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3990
3991 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3992 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3993 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3994
3995 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3996
3997 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3998 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3999
4000 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4001 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4002 [Bodo Moeller]
4003
4004 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4005 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4006 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4010 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4011 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4012 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4013 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4014 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4018 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4019 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4023 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4024 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4025 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4026 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4027 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4028 CVE-2009-4355.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4032 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4033 [Bodo Moeller]
4034
4035 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4036 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4037 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4038 [Steve Henson]
4039
4040 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4044 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4045 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4046 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4047 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4048 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4049 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4050 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4051 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4052 [Steve Henson]
4053
4054 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4055 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4056 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4060 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4064 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4065 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4066 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4067 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4068 know what you are doing.
4069 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4072 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4073 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4074 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4075 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4076 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4077 the handshake.
4078 [Steve Henson]
4079
4080 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4081 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4082 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4083 correctly.
4084 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4085
4086 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4087 warnings in other configurations.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4091 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4092 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4093 systems need.
4094 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4095
4096 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4097 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4098 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4099
4100 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4101 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4102 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4103 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4104 [Steve Henson]
4105
4106 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4107 and restored.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4111 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4112 clash.
4113 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4114
4115 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4116 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4117 other than a simple chain.
4118 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4119
4120 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4121 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4122 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4123 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4124 [Steve Henson]
4125
4126 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4127 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4128 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4129 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4130 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4131 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4132 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4133 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4134 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4135
4136 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4137 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4138 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4139 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4140 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4141 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4142 (CVE-2009-1377)
4143 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4144
4145 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4146 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4147 [Daniel Mentz]
4148
4149 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4150 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4151
4152 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4153 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4154
4155 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4156
4157 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4158 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4159 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4160 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4161 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4162 you're doing.
4163 [Ben Laurie]
4164
4165 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4166
4167 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4168 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4169 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4170 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4171
4172 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4173 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4174 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4175 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4176
4177 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4178 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4179 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4180 [Steve Henson]
4181
4182 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4183 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4184 level.
4185 [Steve Henson]
4186
4187 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4188 to handle some structures.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4192 for a '\n'
4193 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4194
4195 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4196 [Matthieu Herrb]
4197
4198 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4199 [Steve Henson]
4200
4201 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4202 [Steve Henson]
4203
4204 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4205 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4206 chosen compiler.
4207 [Ben Laurie]
4208
4209 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4210
4211 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4212 (CVE-2008-5077).
4213 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4214
4215 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4216 [Ben Laurie]
4217
4218 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4219 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4220 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4221 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4222
4223 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4224 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4225
4226 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4227 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4228 [Bodo Moeller]
4229
4230 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4231 s_client and s_server.
4232 [Ben Laurie]
4233
4234 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4235 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4236
4237 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4238 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4239
4240 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4241 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4242 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4243 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4244 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4245 [Bodo Moeller]
4246
4247 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4248
4249 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4250 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4251 [PR #1679]
4252
4253 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4254 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4255 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4256
4257 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4258 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4259 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4260 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4261
4262 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4263 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4264
4265 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4266
4267 *) Various precautionary measures:
4268
4269 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4270
4271 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4272 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4273 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4274
4275 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4276 outside the expected range.
4277
4278 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4279 builds.
4280
4281 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4282
4283 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4284 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4285 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4286
4287 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4291 [Huang Ying]
4292
4293 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4294
4295 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4299 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4300 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4301
4302 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4303 [Steve Henson]
4304
4305 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4306 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4307 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4308 files.
4309 [Steve Henson]
4310
4311 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4312
4313 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4314 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4315 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4316 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4317
4318 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4319 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4320 [Joe Orton]
4321
4322 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4323
4324 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4325 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4326 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4327
4328 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4329
4330 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4331 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4332 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4333 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4334 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4335
4336 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4337 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4338 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4339 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4340 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4341 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4342 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4343
4344 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4345
4346 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4347 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4348 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4349 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4350 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4351
4352 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4353 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4354
4355 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4356 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4357 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4358 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4359 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4360
4361 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4362
4363 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4364 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4365 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4366 sets may exist with different names.
4367 [Steve Henson]
4368
4369 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4370 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4371 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4372 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4373 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4374 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4375 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4376 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4377 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4378 implementation.
4379 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4380
4381 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4382 implementation in the following ways:
4383
4384 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4385 hard coded.
4386
4387 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4388 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4389 ignored for embedded content.
4390
4391 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4392 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4393 [Steve Henson]
4394
4395 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4396 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4397 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4398 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4399
4400 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4401 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4402 [Steve Henson]
4403
4404 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4405 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4406 [Steve Henson]
4407
4408 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4409 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4410 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4411 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4412 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4413 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4414 data.
4415 [Steve Henson]
4416
4417 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4418 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4419 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4420
4421 *) Netware support:
4422
4423 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4424 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4425 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4426 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4427 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4428 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4429 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4430 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4431 platform
4432 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4433 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4434 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4435 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4436 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4437 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4438 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4439
4440 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4441 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4442 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4443 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4444 to s_client and s_server.
4445 [Steve Henson]
4446
4447 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4448
4449 *) Fix various bugs:
4450 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4451 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4452 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4453 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4454 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4455
4456 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4457
4458 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4459 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4460 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4461 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4462 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4463 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4464 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4465 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4466 [Andy Polyakov]
4467
4468 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4469 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4470 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4471 Steve Henson]
4472
4473 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4474 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4475 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4476 supported.
4477
4478 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4479 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4480 SSL_SESSION.
4481
4482 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4483 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4484 with no application modification.
4485
4486 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4487 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4488
4489 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4490 or server extensions to be examined.
4491
4492 This work was sponsored by Google.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4496 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4497 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4498 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4499 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4500 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4501 server_name extension.
4502
4503 New functions (subject to change):
4504
4505 SSL_get_servername()
4506 SSL_get_servername_type()
4507 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4508
4509 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4510
4511 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4512 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4513 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4514 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4515 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4516
4517 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4518
4519 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4520 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4521 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4522 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4523 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4524 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4525 option.
4526
4527 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4528
4529 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4530 [Steve Henson]
4531
4532 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4533 [Andy Polyakov]
4534
4535 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4536 (which previously caused an internal error).
4537 [Bodo Moeller]
4538
4539 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4540 [Ben Laurie]
4541
4542 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4543 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4544
4545 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4546 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4547 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4548
4549 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4550 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4551 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4552 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4553
4554 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4555 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4556 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4557 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4558
4559 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4560 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4561 information. For detailed background information, see
4562 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4563 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4564 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4565 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4566 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4567 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4568 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4569 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4570 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4571 remove a conditional branch.
4572
4573 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4574 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4575 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4576 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4577 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4578 remains as a deprecated alias.
4579
4580 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4581 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4582 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4583 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4584
4585 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4586 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4587 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4588 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4589 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4590 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4591 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4592 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4593
4594 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4595
4596 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4597 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4598 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4599 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4600 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4601 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4602 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4603 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4604 in a different context.
4605 [Bodo Moeller]
4606
4607 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4608 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4609 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4610 [Bodo Moeller]
4611
4612 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4613 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4614 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4615
4616 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4617
4618 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4619 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4620 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4621 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4622 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4623 [Victor Duchovni]
4624
4625 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4626 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4627 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4628 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4629 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4630 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4631 [Bodo Moeller]
4632
4633 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4634 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4635 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4636 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4637 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4638 [Bodo Moeller]
4639
4640 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4641 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4642
4643 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4644 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4645 Improve header file function name parsing.
4646 [Steve Henson]
4647
4648 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4649 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4650 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4651
4652 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4653
4654 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4655 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4656 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4657
4658 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4659 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4660
4661 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4662 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4663
4664 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4665 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4666 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4667
4668 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4669 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4670 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4671 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4672 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4673 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4674 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4675 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4676 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4677
4678 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4679 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4680 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4681 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4682 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4683
4684 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4685 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4686 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4687 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4688 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4689 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4690 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4691 multiple values to extend the available space.
4692
4693 [Bodo Moeller]
4694
4695 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4696
4697 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4698 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4699
4700 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4701 [Ben Laurie]
4702
4703 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4704 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4705 undesirable limitations.
4706 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4707
4708 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4709 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4710 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4711 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4712 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4713 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4714 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4715 [Bodo Moeller]
4716
4717 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4718
4719 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4720 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4721 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4722
4723 The latter two were purportedly from
4724 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4725 appear there.
4726
4727 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4728 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4729 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4730 [Bodo Moeller]
4731
4732 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4733 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4734 [Bodo Moeller]
4735
4736 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4737 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4738 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4739 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4740
4741 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4742 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4743 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4744 [NTT]
4745
4746 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4747 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4748 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4749 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4750 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4751 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4752 [Steve Henson]
4753
4754 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4755
4756 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4757 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4758 [Steve Henson]
4759
4760 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4761 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4762
4763 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4764 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4765 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4766 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4767 [Douglas Stebila]
4768
4769 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4770 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4771 [Steve Henson]
4772
4773 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4774 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4775 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4776 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4777 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4778 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4779 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4780 can't be loaded.
4781 [Steve Henson]
4782
4783 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4784 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4785 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4786 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4790 under VC++ build system.
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4794 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4795 [Richard Levitte]
4796
4797 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4798
4799 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4800 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4801 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4802 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4803 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4804
4805 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4806 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4807 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4808
4809 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4813 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4814 [Nils Larsch]
4815
4816 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4817 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4818
4819 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4820 [Nick Mathewson]
4821
4822 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4823 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4824
4825 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4826 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4827 [Steve Henson]
4828
4829 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4830 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4831 smime utility.
4832 [Steve Henson]
4833
4834 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4835
4836 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4837 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4838
4839 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4840 [Richard Levitte]
4841
4842 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4843 key into the same file any more.
4844 [Richard Levitte]
4845
4846 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4847 [Andy Polyakov]
4848
4849 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4850 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4851
4852 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4853 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4854 [Richard Levitte]
4855
4856 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4857 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4858 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4859 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4860 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4861 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4862
4863 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4864 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4865 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4866 [Steve Henson]
4867
4868 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4869 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4870 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4871 - add new function for parameter creation
4872 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4873 BN_BLINDING parameters
4874 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4875 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4876 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4877 threads.
4878 [Nils Larsch]
4879
4880 *) Add support for DTLS.
4881 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4882
4883 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4884 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4885 [Walter Goulet]
4886
4887 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4888 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4889 [Nils Larsch]
4890
4891 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4892 the apps/openssl applications.
4893 [Nils Larsch]
4894
4895 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4896 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4897 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4898 [Ben Laurie]
4899
4900 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4901 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4902
4903 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4904 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4905
4906 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4907 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4908 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4909 avoid this algorithm.)
4910
4911 [Bodo Moeller]
4912
4913 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4914 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4915 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4916 [Richard Levitte]
4917
4918 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4919 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4920 [Andy Polyakov]
4921
4922 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4923 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4924 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4925 pod file:
4926
4927 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4928
4929 The blank line is mandatory.
4930
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4934 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4935 sources.
4936 [Steve Henson]
4937
4938 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4939 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4940
4941 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4942 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4943 to support policy checking and print out.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4947 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4948 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4949 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4950
4951 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4952 [Geoff Thorpe]
4953
4954 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4955 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4956
4957 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4958 implementation contributed by IBM.
4959 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4960
4961 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4962 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4963 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4964 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4965
4966 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4967 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4968
4969 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4970 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4971 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4972 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4973 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4974 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4978 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4979 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4980 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4981 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4982 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4983 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4984 [Geoff Thorpe]
4985
4986 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4987 [Steve Henson]
4988
4989 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4990 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4991 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4992 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4993 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4994 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4995 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4996 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4997 [Steve Henson]
4998
4999 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5000 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5001 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5002 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5003 [Steve Henson]
5004
5005 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5006 syntax:
5007
5008 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5009 [Steve Henson]
5010
5011 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5012 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5013 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5014 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5015 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5016 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5017 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5018 [Geoff Thorpe]
5019
5020 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5021 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5022 [Geoff Thorpe]
5023
5024 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5025 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5026 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5027 [Steve Henson]
5028
5029 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5030 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5031 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5032 below).
5033 [Geoff Thorpe]
5034
5035 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5036 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5037 [Richard Levitte]
5038
5039 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5040 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5041 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5042 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5043 [Geoff Thorpe]
5044
5045 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5046 initialised value as BN_new().
5047 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5048
5049 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5050 [Steve Henson]
5051
5052 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5053 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5054 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5055 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5056 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5057 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5058 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5059 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5060 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5061 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5062 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5063 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5064 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5065 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5066 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5067
5068 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5069 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5070 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5071 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5072 [Geoff Thorpe]
5073
5074 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5075 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5076 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5077 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5078 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5079 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5080 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5081 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5082 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5083 [Geoff Thorpe]
5084
5085 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5086 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5087 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5088 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5089 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5090 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5091 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5092 [Geoff Thorpe]
5093
5094 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5095 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5096 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5097 these have been updated also.
5098 [Geoff Thorpe]
5099
5100 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5101 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5102 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5103 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5104 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5105 functions.
5106 [Steve Henson]
5107
5108 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5109 structure of type "other".
5110 [Steve Henson]
5111
5112 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5113 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5114 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5115 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5116 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5117 situation in the script.
5118 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5119
5120 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5121 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5122 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5123 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5124 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5125 used as premaster secret.
5126 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5127
5128 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5129 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5130 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5131
5132 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5133 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5134
5135 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5136 control of the error stack.
5137 [Richard Levitte]
5138
5139 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5140 [Richard Levitte]
5141
5142 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5143 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5144 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5145 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5146 [Richard Levitte]
5147
5148 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5149 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5150 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5151 [Richard Levitte]
5152
5153 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5154 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5155 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5156 a memory area.
5157 [Richard Levitte]
5158
5159 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5160 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5161 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5162 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5163 [Richard Levitte]
5164
5165 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5166 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5167 the following flags are defined:
5168
5169 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5170 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5171 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5172 number.
5173
5174 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5175 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5176 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5177 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5178 returns zero.
5179 [Richard Levitte]
5180
5181 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5182 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5183 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5184 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5185 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5186 [Richard Levitte]
5187
5188 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5189 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5190 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5191 [Richard Levitte]
5192
5193 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5194 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5195 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5196 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5197 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5198 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5199 [Richard Levitte]
5200
5201 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5202 req and dirName.
5203 [Steve Henson]
5204
5205 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5206 [Steve Henson]
5207
5208 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5209 [Steve Henson]
5210
5211 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5212 [Steve Henson]
5213
5214 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5215 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5216 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5217 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5218 default implementation more easily.
5219 [Geoff Thorpe]
5220
5221 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5222 in config files.
5223 [Steve Henson]
5224
5225 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5226 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5227 [Richard Levitte]
5228
5229 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5230 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5231 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5232 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5233
5234 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5235 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5236 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5237 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5238 [Steve Henson]
5239
5240 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5241 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5242 to do it.
5243 [Richard Levitte]
5244
5245 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5246 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5247 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5248 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5249 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5250 scalar * generator).
5251 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5252
5253 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5254 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5255 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5256 correctly.
5257 [Steve Henson]
5258
5259 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5260 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5261 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5262 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5263 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5264 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5265 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5266 linker additions, eg;
5267 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5268 [Geoff Thorpe]
5269
5270 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5271 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5272 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5273 [Geoff Thorpe]
5274
5275 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5276 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5277 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5278 via PR#459)
5279 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5280
5281 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5282 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5283 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5284 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5285 [Geoff Thorpe]
5286
5287 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5288 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5289 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5290 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5291 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5292 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5293 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5294 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5295 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5296 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5297
5298 Example for using the new callback interface:
5299
5300 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5301 void *my_arg = ...;
5302 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5303
5304 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5305
5306 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5307 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5308 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5309 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5310 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5311 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5312 */
5313
5314 [Geoff Thorpe]
5315
5316 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5317 available to TLS with the number defined in
5318 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5319 [Richard Levitte]
5320
5321 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5322 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5323
5324 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5325 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5326 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5327 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5328
5329 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5330 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5331
5332 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5333 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5334 well.
5335 [Richard Levitte]
5336
5337 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5338 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5339 [Richard Levitte]
5340
5341 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5342 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5343 and a macro that behave like
5344 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5345
5346 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5347 [Nils Larsch]
5348
5349 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5350 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5351 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5352 if applicable.
5353 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5354
5355 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5356 [Bodo Moeller]
5357
5358 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5359 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5360 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5361 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5362 directory engines/.
5363 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5364 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5365 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5366 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5367 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5368 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5369 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5370 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5371
5372 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5373 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5374 [Richard Levitte]
5375
5376 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5377 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5378
5379 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5380 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5381 files while avoiding the low level API.
5382
5383 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5384 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5385 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5386 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5387
5388 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5389 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5390 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5391 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5392 instead of the low level API.
5393 [Steve Henson]
5394
5395 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5396 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5397 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5398 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5399 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5400 PKCS#7 code.
5401
5402 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5403 down to the template encoder.
5404 [Steve Henson]
5405
5406 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5407 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5408 [Bodo Moeller]
5409
5410 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5411 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5412 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5413 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5414
5415 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5416 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5417
5418 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5419 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5420
5421 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5422 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5426 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5427 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5428 [Bodo Moeller]
5429
5430 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5431 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5432
5433 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5434 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5435
5436 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5437 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5438 New EC_METHOD:
5439
5440 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5441
5442 New API functions:
5443
5444 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5445 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5446 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5447 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5448 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5449 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5450
5451 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5452 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5453 enable it).
5454
5455 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5456 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5457 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5458 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5459 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5460 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5461 various internal method names.)
5462
5463 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5464 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5465
5466 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5467 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5468
5469 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5470 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5471
5472 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5473 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5474 methods are undefined.
5475
5476 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5477 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5478
5479 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5480 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5481 length of the modulus.
5482
5483 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5484 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5485
5486 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5487 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5488
5489 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5490 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5491
5492 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5493 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5494 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5495
5496 BN_GF2m_add
5497 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5498 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5499 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5500 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5501 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5502 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5503 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5504 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5505 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5506
5507 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5508 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5509
5510 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5511 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5512 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5513 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5514 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5515 where
5516 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5517 This applies to the following functions:
5518
5519 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5520 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5521 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5522 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5523 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5524 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5525 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5526 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5527 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5528 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5529
5530 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5531
5532 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5533 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5534
5535 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5536
5537 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5538 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5539 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5540 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5541 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5542
5543 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5544 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5545
5546 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5547 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5548 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5549
5550 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5551 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5552
5553 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5554 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5555 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5556 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5557 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5558
5559 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5560 functions
5561 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5562 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5563 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5564 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5565 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5566 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5567 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5568 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5569 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5570 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5571 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5572 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5573
5574 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5575 functions
5576 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5577 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5578 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5579 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5580 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5581
5582 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5583 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5584 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5585 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5586
5587 *) Add functions
5588 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5589 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5590 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5591 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5592 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5593 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5594 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5595
5596 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5597 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5598 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5599 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5600 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5601 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5602 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5603 adding different types of curves.
5604 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5605
5606 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5607 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5608 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5609 [Bodo Moeller]
5610
5611 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5612 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5613
5614 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5615 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5616 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5617 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5618
5619 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5620
5621 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5622 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5623
5624 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5625 library. Most notably,
5626 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5627 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5628 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5629 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5630 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5631 extracted before the specific public key;
5632 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5633 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5634
5635 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5636 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5637 function
5638 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5639 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5640 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5641 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5642 accessed via
5643 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5644 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5645 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5646
5647 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5648 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5649 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5650 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5651 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5652 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5653 differing sizes.
5654 [Richard Levitte]
5655
5656 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5657
5658 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5659 sensitive data.
5660 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5661
5662 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5663 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5664 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5665 [Bodo Moeller]
5666
5667 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5668 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5669 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5670 [Victor Duchovni]
5671
5672 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5676 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5677 [Steve Henson]
5678
5679 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5680 run algorithm test programs.
5681 [Steve Henson]
5682
5683 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5684 [Steve Henson]
5685
5686 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5687 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5688 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5689 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5690 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5691 [Bodo Moeller]
5692
5693 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5694 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5695 [Steve Henson]
5696
5697 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5698
5699 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5700 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5701 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5702
5703 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5704 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5705
5706 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5707 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5708
5709 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5710 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5711 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5712
5713 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5714 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5715 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5716 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5717 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5718 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5719 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5720 [Bodo Moeller]
5721
5722 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5723
5724 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5725 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5726
5727 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5728 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5729 undesirable limitations.
5730 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5731
5732 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5733
5734 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5735 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5736 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5737
5738 The latter two were purportedly from
5739 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5740 appear there.
5741
5742 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5743 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5744 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5745 [Bodo Moeller]
5746
5747 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5748 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5749 [Bodo Moeller]
5750
5751 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5752
5753 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5754 module in FIPS mode.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5761 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5762 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5763 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5764 [Steve Henson]
5765
5766 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5767
5768 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5769 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5770 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5771 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5772 the difference induced by this change.
5773 [Andy Polyakov]
5774
5775 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5776
5777 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5778 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5779 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5780 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5781 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5782
5783 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5784 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5785 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5786
5787 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5788 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5789 [Steve Henson]
5790
5791 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5792 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5793 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5794 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5795 biased k.)
5796 [Bodo Moeller]
5797
5798 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5799 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5800 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5801 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5802 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5803
5804 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5805 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5806 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5807 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5808 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5809 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5810
5811 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5812
5813 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5814 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5815 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5816 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5817 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5818 [Bodo Moeller]
5819
5820 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5821 clients need.
5822 [Steve Henson]
5823
5824 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5825 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5826 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5827 [Steve Henson]
5828
5829 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5830 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5831 structures constant.
5832 [Steve Henson]
5833
5834 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5835
5836 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5837 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5838
5839 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5840 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5841 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5842 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5843 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5844 some needed definitions.
5845 [Steve Henson]
5846
5847 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5848 [Ulf Möller]
5849
5850 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5851 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5852 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5853 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5854 [Richard Levitte]
5855
5856 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5857
5858 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5859 server and client random values. Previously
5860 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5861 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5862
5863 This change has negligible security impact because:
5864
5865 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5866 data.
5867
5868 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5869 handshake.
5870
5871 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5872 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5873 values.
5874
5875 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5876 to our attention.
5877
5878 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5879
5880 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5881 [Ulf Möller]
5882
5883 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5884 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5885 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5886
5887 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5888 [Steve Henson]
5889
5890 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5891 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5892 [Andy Polyakov]
5893
5894 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5895 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5896 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5897
5898 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5899 [Steve Henson]
5900
5901 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5902 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5903 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5904 certificates.
5905 [Steve Henson]
5906
5907 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5908 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5909 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5910 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5911
5912 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5913 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5914 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5915 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5916 been given)
5917 [Richard Levitte]
5918
5919 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5920
5921 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5922 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5923 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5924 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5925 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5926 [Steve Henson]
5927
5928 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5929 [Steve Henson]
5930
5931 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5932 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5933
5934 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5935 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5936 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5937 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5938 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5939 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5940 rather than being initialized to 1.
5941 [Steve Henson]
5942
5943 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5944
5945 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5946 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5947 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5948
5949 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5950 (CVE-2004-0112)
5951 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5952
5953 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5954 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5955 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5956 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5957 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5958 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5959 [Richard Levitte]
5960
5961 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5962 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5963 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5964 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5965 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5966 for these cases.
5967 [Steve Henson]
5968
5969 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5970 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5971 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5972 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5973 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5977 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5978 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5979 < 0.9.7.
5980 [Steve Henson]
5981
5982 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5983 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5984
5985 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5986 [Steve Henson]
5987
5988 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5989
5990 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5991
5992 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5993 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5994
5995 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5996
5997 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5998 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5999
6000 [Steve Henson]
6001
6002 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6003 exiting on the first error in a request.
6004 [Steve Henson]
6005
6006 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6007 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6008 specifications.
6009 [Steve Henson]
6010
6011 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6012 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6013 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6014 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6015
6016 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6017 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6018 [Richard Levitte]
6019
6020 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6021 blocks during encryption.
6022 [Richard Levitte]
6023
6024 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6025 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6026 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6027 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6028 certain size.
6029 [Steve Henson]
6030
6031 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6032 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6033 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6034 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6035 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6036 parser.
6037 [Steve Henson]
6038
6039 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6040
6041 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6042 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6043 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6044 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6045 [Bodo Moeller]
6046
6047 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6048 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6049 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6050 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6051 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6052
6053 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6054 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6055 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6056 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6057 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6058 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6059 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6060 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6061 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6062 [Bodo Moeller]
6063
6064 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6065 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6066 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6067 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6068 [Geoff Thorpe]
6069
6070 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6071 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6072 [Ulf Moeller]
6073
6074 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6075
6076 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6077 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6078 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6079 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6080 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6081
6082 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6083 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6084 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6085
6086 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6087 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6088 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6089 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6090 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6091
6092 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6093 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6094 used by default when no-err is given.
6095 [Richard Levitte]
6096
6097 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6098 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6099
6100 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6101 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6102 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6103 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6104 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6105
6106 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6107 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6108 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6109 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6110
6111 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6112
6113 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6114
6115 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6116
6117 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6118 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6119 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6120 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6121 root is omitted).
6122 [Steve Henson]
6123
6124 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6125 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6126
6127 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6128 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6129 [Steve Henson]
6130
6131 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6132 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6133 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6134 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6136
6137 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6138 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6139 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6140 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6141 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6142 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6143 followup to PR #377.
6144 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6145
6146 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6147 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6148 [Andy Polyakov]
6149
6150 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6151 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6152 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6153 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6154
6155 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6156
6157 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6158 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6159
6160 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6161 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6162 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6163 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6164 client and server.
6165 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6166 PR #377.
6167 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6168
6169 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6170 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6171 removed entirely.
6172 [Richard Levitte]
6173
6174 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6175 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6176 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6177 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6178 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6179 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6180 of libcrypto.
6181 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6182 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6183 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6184 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6185 have to be made anyway).
6186 [Richard Levitte]
6187
6188 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6189 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6190 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6191 [Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6194 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6195 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6196 [Richard Levitte]
6197
6198 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6199 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6200 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6201
6202 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6203 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6204 edit numbers of the version.
6205 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6206
6207 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6208 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6210
6211 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6212 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6213
6214 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6215 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6216 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6217
6218 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6219 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6220
6221 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6222 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6223
6224 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6225 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6226
6227 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6228 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6229
6230 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6231 overflows.
6232 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6233
6234 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6235 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6237
6238 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6239 representations in a platform independent manner.
6240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6241
6242 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6243 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6245
6246 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6247 indents.
6248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6249
6250 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6251 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6252
6253 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6254 full. Fixed.
6255 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6256
6257 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6258 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6260
6261 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6262 unconditionally).
6263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6264
6265 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6267
6268 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6269 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6270
6271 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6272 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6273
6274 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6275 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6276
6277 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6278 CBCParameter.
6279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6280
6281 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6282 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6283
6284 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6285 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6286
6287 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6288 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6289 exploitable.
6290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6291
6292 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6293 the 0.9.6 release series:
6294
6295 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6296 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6297 (CVE-2002-0657)
6298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6299
6300 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6301 [Richard Levitte]
6302
6303 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6304 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6305
6306 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6307 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6308
6309 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6310 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6311 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6312 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6313
6314 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6315 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6316 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6317
6318 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6319 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6320 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6321 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6322
6323 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6324 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6325 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6326 some local tweaks:
6327
6328 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6329 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6330 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6331 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6332 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6333 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6334 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6335 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6336 done
6337
6338 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6339 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6340 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6341 [Richard Levitte]
6342
6343 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6344 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6345 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6346 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6347 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6348
6349 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6350 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6351
6352 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6353 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6354 [Richard Levitte]
6355
6356 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6357 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6358 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6359 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6360 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6361 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6365 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6366 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6367 [Steve Henson]
6368
6369 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6370 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6371 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6372
6373 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6374 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6375 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6376 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6377 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6378 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6379 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6380 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6381
6382 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6383 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6384 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6385 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6386 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6387 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6388 [Steve Henson]
6389
6390 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6391 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6392 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6393 declaration has been changed from
6394 int (*cb)()
6395 into
6396 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6397 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6398 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6399 has been changed into
6400 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6401
6402 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6403 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6404 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6405
6406 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6407 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6408
6409 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6410 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6411 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6412 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6413 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6414 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6415 always load it have also been added.
6416 [Steve Henson]
6417
6418 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6419 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6420 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6421
6422 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6423
6424 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6425 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6426 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6427
6428 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6429 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6430 command line option can be used to specify an
6431 alternative file.
6432 [Steve Henson]
6433
6434 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6435 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6436 [Steve Henson]
6437
6438 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6439 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6440 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6444 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6445 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6446 to work with the new engine framework.
6447 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6448
6449 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6450 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6451 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6452 to work with the new engine framework.
6453 [Richard Levitte]
6454
6455 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6456 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6457 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6458
6459 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6460 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6461
6462 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6463 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6464 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6465 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6466 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6467 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6468
6469 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6470 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6471
6472 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6473 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6474
6475 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6476 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6477 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6478 [Ben Laurie]
6479
6480 *) Add new functions
6481 ERR_peek_last_error
6482 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6483 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6484 These are similar to
6485 ERR_peek_error
6486 ERR_peek_error_line
6487 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6488 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6489 still in the error queue.
6490 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6491
6492 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6493 like:
6494 default_algorithms = ALL
6495 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6499 [Steve Henson]
6500
6501 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6502 [Steve Henson]
6503
6504 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6505 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6506 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6507 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6508
6509 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6510 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6511
6512 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6513 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6514
6515 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6516 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6517 [Bodo Moeller]
6518
6519 *) New functions/macros
6520
6521 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6522 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6523 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6524 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6525
6526 to request calling a callback function
6527
6528 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6529 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6530
6531 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6532 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6533 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6534 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6535 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6536 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6537 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6538 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6539 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6540 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6541
6542 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6543 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6544 [Bodo Moeller]
6545
6546 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6547 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6548 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6549 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6550 the configuration scripts.
6551
6552 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6553 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6554 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6555
6556 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6557 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6558
6559 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6560 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6561 when reusing an existing buffer.
6562 [Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6565 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6566 [Steve Henson]
6567
6568 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6569 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6570 [Ben Laurie]
6571
6572 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6573 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6574 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6575 has the same effect.
6576 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6577
6578 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6579 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6580 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6581 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6582 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6583 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6584 exception.
6585
6586 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6587 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6588 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6589 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6590
6591 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6592 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6593 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6594 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6595
6596 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6597 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6598 won't work.
6599
6600 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6601 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6602 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6603 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6604 default), and then completely removed.
6605 [Richard Levitte]
6606
6607 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6608 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6609 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6610 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6611 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6612 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6613 particular extension is supported.
6614 [Steve Henson]
6615
6616 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6617 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6618 [Steve Henson]
6619
6620 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6621 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6622 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6623 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6624 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6625 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6626 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6627 requires the destination to be valid.
6628
6629 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6630 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6631 [Steve Henson]
6632
6633 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6634 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6635 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6636 [Bodo Moeller]
6637
6638 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6639 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6640
6641 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6642 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6643 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6644 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6645 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6646 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6647 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6648 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6649 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6650 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6651 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6652 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6653 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6654 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6655 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6656 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6657 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6658 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6659 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6660 the new code.
6661 [Geoff Thorpe]
6662
6663 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6664 [Steve Henson]
6665
6666 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6667 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6668 become part of libeay.num as well.
6669 [Richard Levitte]
6670
6671 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6672 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6673 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6674 false once a handshake has been completed.
6675 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6676 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6677 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6678 client has followed the request.)
6679 [Bodo Moeller]
6680
6681 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6682 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6683 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6684 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6685
6686 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6687 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6688 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6689 [Bodo Moeller]
6690
6691 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6692 [Steve Henson]
6693
6694 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6695 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6696 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6697 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6698
6699 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6700 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6701 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6702
6703 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6704 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6705 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6706 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6707 [Geoff Thorpe]
6708
6709 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6710 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6711 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6712 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6713 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6714 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6715 [Geoff Thorpe]
6716
6717 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6718 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6719 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6720 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6721 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6722 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6723 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6724 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6725 [Geoff Thorpe]
6726
6727 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6728 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6729 [Geoff Thorpe]
6730
6731 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6732 [Ben Laurie]
6733
6734 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6735 md_data void pointer.
6736 [Ben Laurie]
6737
6738 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6739 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6740 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6741 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6742 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6743 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6744 [Ben Laurie]
6745
6746 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6747 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6748 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6749 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6750 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6751 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6752 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6753 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6754 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6755 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6756 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6757 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6758 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6759 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6760 rather than letting it slide.
6761
6762 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6763 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6764 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6765 [Geoff Thorpe]
6766
6767 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6768 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6769 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6770 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6771 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6772 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6773 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6774 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6775 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6776 [Geoff Thorpe]
6777
6778 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6779 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6780 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6781 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6782 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6783
6784 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6785 [Geoff Thorpe]
6786
6787 *) Add EVP test program.
6788 [Ben Laurie]
6789
6790 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6791 [Ben Laurie]
6792
6793 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6794 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6795 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6796 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6797 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6798 [Steve Henson]
6799
6800 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6801 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6802 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6803 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6804 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6805 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6806 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6807
6808 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6809 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6810 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6811 Usage example:
6812
6813 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6814
6815 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6816 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6817 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6818 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6819 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6820
6821 [Ben Laurie]
6822
6823 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6824 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6825 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6826 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6827 anyway): E.g.,
6828
6829 des_key_schedule ks;
6830
6831 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6832 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6833
6834 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6835 [Ben Laurie]
6836
6837 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6838 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6839 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6840 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6841 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6842 functions prevents this.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6846 [Ben Laurie]
6847
6848 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6849 correct _ecb suffix.
6850 [Ben Laurie]
6851
6852 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6853 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6854 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6855 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6856 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6857 [Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6860 [Richard Levitte]
6861
6862 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6863 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6864 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6865 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6866
6867 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6868 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6869
6870 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6871 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6872 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6873 via Richard Levitte]
6874
6875 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6876 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6877 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6878 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6879 [Geoff Thorpe]
6880
6881 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6882 Before:
6883 encrypt
6884 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6885 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6886 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6887 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6888 decrypt
6889 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6890 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6891 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6892 After:
6893 encrypt
6894 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6895 decrypt
6896 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6897 [Ben Laurie]
6898
6899 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6900 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6901
6902 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6903 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6904 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6905 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6906 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6907 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6908 [Steve Henson]
6909
6910 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6911 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6912 [Richard Levitte]
6913
6914 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6915 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6916 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6917 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6918
6919 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6920 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6921 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6922 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6923 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6924 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6925 callback.
6926 [Richard Levitte]
6927
6928 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6929 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6930 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6931 and interrupts/cancellations.
6932 [Richard Levitte]
6933
6934 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6935 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6936 [Steve Henson]
6937
6938 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6939 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6940 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6941
6942 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6943 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6944 kind of callback.
6945 [Richard Levitte]
6946
6947 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6948 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6949 than this minimum value is recommended.
6950 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6951
6952 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6953 that are easily reachable.
6954 [Richard Levitte]
6955
6956 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6957 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6958
6959 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6960
6961 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6962 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6963 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6964 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6965 [Steve Henson]
6966
6967 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6968 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6969 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6970 [Steve Henson]
6971
6972 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6973 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6974 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6975 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6976 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6977 internally such as S/MIME.
6978
6979 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6980 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6981 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6982
6983 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6984 applications.
6985 [Steve Henson]
6986
6987 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6988 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6989 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6990 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6991
6992 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6993
6994 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6995
6996 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6997 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6998 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6999 handling.
7000 [Steve Henson]
7001
7002 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7003 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7004 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7005 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7006 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7007 a window system and the like.
7008 [Richard Levitte]
7009
7010 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7011 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7012 [Geoff]
7013
7014 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7015 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7016 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7017 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7018 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7019 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7020 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7021 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7022 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7023 ENGINE structure.
7024 [Geoff]
7025
7026 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7027 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7028 tag cache.
7029 [Steve Henson]
7030
7031 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7032 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7033 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7034 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7035 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7036 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7037 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7038 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7039 [Geoff]
7040
7041 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7042 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7043 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7044 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7045 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7046 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7047 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7048 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7049 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7050 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7051 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7052 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7053 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7054 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7055 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7056 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7057 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7058 [Geoff]
7059
7060 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7061 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7062 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7063 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7064 internal engine_int.h header.
7065 [Geoff]
7066
7067 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7068 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7069 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7070 modify their own ones).
7071 [Geoff]
7072
7073 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7074 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7075 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7076 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7077 later on via ctrl() commands.
7078 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7079 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7080 structural references.
7081 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7082 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7083 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7084 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7085 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7086 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7087 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7088 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7089 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7090 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7091 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7092 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7093 [Geoff]
7094
7095 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7096 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7097 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7098 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7099 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7100 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7101 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7102 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7103 [Bodo Moeller]
7104
7105 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7106 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7107 [Steve Henson]
7108
7109 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7110 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7114 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7115 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7116 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7117 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7118 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7119 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7120 [Steve Henson]
7121
7122 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7123 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7124 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7125 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7126 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7127
7128 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7129 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7130 generator).
7131 [Bodo Moeller]
7132
7133 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7134
7135 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7136 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7137 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7138
7139 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7140 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7141
7142 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7143 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7144 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7145
7146 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7147 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7148
7149 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7150 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7151
7152 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7153
7154 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7155 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7156 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7157 [Bodo Moeller]
7158
7159 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7160 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7161 [Richard Levitte]
7162
7163 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7164 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7165 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7166 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7167 is 40 of more characters long.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7171 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7172 pointers.
7173 [Steve Henson]
7174
7175 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7176 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7177 [Bodo Moeller]
7178
7179 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7180 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7181 might.
7182 [Steve Henson]
7183
7184 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7185
7186 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7187 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7188
7189 ASN1 error codes
7190 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7191 ...
7192 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7193 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7194 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7195 ...
7196 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7197 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7198
7199 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7200 [Bodo Moeller]
7201
7202 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7203 suffices.
7204 [Bodo Moeller]
7205
7206 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7207 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7208 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7209 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7210 and
7211 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7212
7213 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7214 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7215
7216 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7217 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7218 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7219 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7220 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7221 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7222
7223 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7224 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7225
7226 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7227 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7228
7229 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7230 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7231
7232 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7233 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7234 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7235 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7236
7237 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7238 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7239
7240 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7241 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7242
7243 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7244 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7245 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7246 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7247 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7248 [Richard Levitte]
7249
7250 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7251 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7252 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7253 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7257 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7258 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7259 trust settings.
7260 [Steve Henson]
7261
7262 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7263 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7264 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7265 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7266 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7267 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7268 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7269 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7270 ocsp utility.
7271 [Steve Henson]
7272
7273 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7274 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7275 [Steve Henson]
7276
7277 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7278 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7279 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7280 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7281 [Steve Henson]
7282
7283 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7284 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7285 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7286 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7287 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7288 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7289 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7290 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7291 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7292 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7293 [Steve Henson]
7294
7295 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7296 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7297 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7298 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7299 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7300 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7301 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7302 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7303
7304 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7305 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7306 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7307 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7308 [Richard Levitte]
7309
7310 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7311 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7312 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7313 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7314 opensslconf.h.
7315 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7316 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7317 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7318 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7319 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7320 what is available.
7321 [Richard Levitte]
7322
7323 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7324 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7325 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7326 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7327 auto incremented.
7328 [Steve Henson]
7329
7330 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7331 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7332 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7333 [Steve Henson]
7334
7335 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7336 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7337 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7338 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7339 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7340 [Steve Henson]
7341
7342 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7343 [Steve Henson]
7344
7345 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7346 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7347 option to ocsp utility.
7348 [Steve Henson]
7349
7350 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7351 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7352 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7353 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7354 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7355 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7356 the request is nonce-less.
7357 [Steve Henson]
7358
7359 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7360 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7361 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7362 [Bodo Moeller]
7363
7364 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7365 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7366 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7367 [Steve Henson]
7368
7369 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7370 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7371 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7372 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7373 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7374 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7375
7376 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7377 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7378 appear to exist.
7379 [Steve Henson]
7380
7381 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7382 additional certificates supplied.
7383 [Steve Henson]
7384
7385 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7386 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7387 signature against.
7388 [Richard Levitte]
7389
7390 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7391 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7392 AES OIDs.
7393
7394 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7395 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7396 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7397 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7398 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7399 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7400 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7401 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7402 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7403
7404 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7405 request to response.
7406 [Steve Henson]
7407
7408 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7409 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7410 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7411 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7412 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7413 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7414 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7415 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7416 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7417 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7418 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7419 [Steve Henson]
7420
7421 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7422 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7423 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7424 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7425 [Steve Henson]
7426
7427 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7428 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7429
7430 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7431 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7432 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7433 [Steve Henson]
7434
7435 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7436 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7437 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7438 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7439 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7440
7441 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7442 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7443 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7444 [Steve Henson]
7445
7446 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7447 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7448 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7449 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7450 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7451 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7452 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7453 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7454
7455 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7456 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7457 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7458 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7459 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7460 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7461 [Steve Henson]
7462
7463 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7464 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7465 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7466 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7467 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7468 printout format cleaned up.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7472 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7473 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7474 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7475 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7476 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7477 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7478 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7479 [Steve Henson]
7480
7481 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7482 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7483 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7484 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7485 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7486 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7487 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7488 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7489 [Steve Henson]
7490
7491 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7492 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7493 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7494 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7495 section to use.
7496 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7497
7498 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7499 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7500 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7501 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7502 [Steve Henson]
7503
7504 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7505 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7506 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7507 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7508 in the index file.
7509 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7510
7511 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7512 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7513 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7514 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7515
7516 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7517 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7518
7519 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7520 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7521 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7522 [Steve Henson]
7523
7524 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7525 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7526 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7527 [Bodo Moeller]
7528
7529 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7530 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7531 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7532 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7533 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7534 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7535 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7536 functions are provided:
7537
7538 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7539 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7540 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7541 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7542
7543 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7544 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7545 extended allocation function is enabled.
7546 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7547 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7548 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7549
7550 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7551 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7552 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7553 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7554 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7555 [Geoff Thorpe]
7556
7557 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7558 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7559 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7560 be queried.
7561 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7562 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7563 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7564 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7565
7566 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7567 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7568 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7569 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7570 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7571 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7572 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7573 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7574 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7575 [Richard Levitte]
7576
7577 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7578 provide utility functions which an application needing
7579 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7580 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7581 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7582
7583 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7584 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7585 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7586 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7587 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7588 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7589 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7590 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7591 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7592
7593 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7594 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7595 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7596 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7597 [Steve Henson]
7598
7599 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7600 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7601 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7602 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7603 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7604 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7605 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7606 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7607 will be added elsewhere.
7608 [Steve Henson]
7609
7610 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7611 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7612 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7613 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7614 [Steve Henson]
7615
7616 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7617 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7618 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7619 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7620 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7621 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7622 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7623 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7624 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7625 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7626 to produce the required SET OF.
7627 [Steve Henson]
7628
7629 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7630 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7631 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7632 [Richard Levitte]
7633
7634 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7635 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7636 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7637 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7638 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7639 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7640 [Steve Henson]
7641
7642 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7643 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7644 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7645 [Steve Henson]
7646
7647 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7648 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7649 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7650 [Richard Levitte]
7651
7652 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7653 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7654 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7655 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7656 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7657 [Steve Henson]
7658
7659 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7660 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7661 [Steve Henson]
7662
7663 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7664 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7665 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7666 certificates and CRLs.
7667 [Steve Henson]
7668
7669 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7670 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7671 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7672 [Steve Henson]
7673
7674 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7675 entries for variables.
7676 [Steve Henson]
7677
7678 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7679 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7680 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7681 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7682 [Bodo Moeller]
7683
7684 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7685 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7686 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7687 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7688 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7689 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7690 [Bodo Moeller]
7691
7692 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7693 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7694
7695 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7696 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7697 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7698 [Steve Henson]
7699
7700 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7701 print routines.
7702 [Steve Henson]
7703
7704 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7705 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7706 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7707 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7708 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7709 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7713 [Steve Henson]
7714
7715 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7716 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7717 for now but they will eventually go away.
7718 [Steve Henson]
7719
7720 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7721 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7722 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7723 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7724 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7725 has also been converted to the new form.
7726 [Steve Henson]
7727
7728 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7729 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7730 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7731 for negative moduli.
7732 [Bodo Moeller]
7733
7734 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7735 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7736 [Bodo Moeller]
7737
7738 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7739 set.
7740 [Bodo Moeller]
7741
7742 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7743 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7744 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7745 type-specific callbacks.
7746 [Geoff Thorpe]
7747
7748 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7749 RFC 2712.
7750 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7751 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7752
7753 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7754 in sections depending on the subject.
7755 [Richard Levitte]
7756
7757 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7758 Windows.
7759 [Richard Levitte]
7760
7761 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7762 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7763 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7764 be handled deterministically).
7765 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7766
7767 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7768 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7769 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7770 [Bodo Moeller]
7771
7772 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7773 [Bodo Moeller]
7774
7775 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7776 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7777 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7778 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7779 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7780 [Bodo Moeller]
7781
7782 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7783 sign of the number in question.
7784
7785 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7786
7787 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7788 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7789 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7790 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7791 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) New function BN_swap.
7795 [Bodo Moeller]
7796
7797 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7798 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7799 results on negative inputs.
7800 [Bodo Moeller]
7801
7802 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7803 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7804 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7805 [Bodo Moeller]
7806
7807 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7808 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7809 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7810 and add new functions:
7811
7812 BN_nnmod
7813 BN_mod_sqr
7814 BN_mod_add
7815 BN_mod_add_quick
7816 BN_mod_sub
7817 BN_mod_sub_quick
7818 BN_mod_lshift1
7819 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7820 BN_mod_lshift
7821 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7822
7823 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7824
7825 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7826 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7827
7828 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7829 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7830 be reduced modulo m.
7831 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7832
7833 #if 0
7834 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7835 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7836 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7837
7838 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7839 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7840 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7841 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7842 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7843 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7844 differing sizes.
7845 [Richard Levitte]
7846 #endif
7847
7848 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7849 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7850 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7851 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7852 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7853
7854 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7855 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7856 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7857 cause any problems.
7858 [Bodo Moeller]
7859
7860 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7861 [Richard Levitte]
7862
7863 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7864 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7865 [Richard Levitte]
7866
7867 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7868 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7869 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7870 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7871 time)
7872 [Richard Levitte]
7873
7874 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7875 [Richard Levitte]
7876
7877 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7878 [Richard Levitte]
7879
7880 *) Add the following functions:
7881
7882 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7883 ENGINE_load_chil()
7884 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7885 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7886 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7887
7888 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7889 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7890 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7891 libraries unless it's really needed.
7892
7893 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7894 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7895 declarations (they differed!).
7896 [Richard Levitte]
7897
7898 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7899 [Richard Levitte]
7900
7901 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7902 [Richard Levitte]
7903
7904 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7905 [Bodo Moeller]
7906
7907 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7908 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7909 [Richard Levitte]
7910
7911 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7912 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7913 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7914
7915 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7916 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7917 [Richard Levitte]
7918
7919 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7920 [Richard Levitte]
7921
7922 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7923 [Richard Levitte]
7924
7925 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7926 [Ben Laurie]
7927
7928 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7929 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7930 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7931
7932 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7933 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7934 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7935 different shared library filenames on each system.
7936 [Geoff Thorpe]
7937
7938 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7939 [Richard Levitte]
7940
7941 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7942 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7943 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7944 of two sections.
7945 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7946
7947 *) NCONF changes.
7948 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7949 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7950 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7951 binary backward compatibility.
7952 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7953 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7954 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7955 LDAP server.
7956 [Richard Levitte]
7957
7958 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7959 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7960 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7961 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7962 this case.
7963 [Steve Henson]
7964
7965 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7966 [Ben Laurie]
7967
7968 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7969 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7970 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7971 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7972 set.
7973 [Steve Henson]
7974
7975 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7976 [Richard Levitte]
7977
7978 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7979
7980 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7981 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7982 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7983
7984 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7985
7986 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7987
7988 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7989 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7990 [Steve Henson]
7991
7992 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7993
7994 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7995
7996 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7997 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7998
7999 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8000 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8001
8002 [Steve Henson]
8003
8004 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8005 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8006 specifications.
8007 [Steve Henson]
8008
8009 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8010 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8011 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8012 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8013
8014 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8015 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8016 [Richard Levitte]
8017
8018 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8019
8020 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8021 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8022 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8023 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8024 [Bodo Moeller]
8025
8026 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8027 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8028 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8029 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8030 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8031
8032 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8033 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8034 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8035 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8036 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8037 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8038 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8039 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8040 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8041 [Bodo Moeller]
8042
8043 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8044
8045 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8046 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8047 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8048 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8049 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8050
8051 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8052 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8053 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8054
8055 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8056
8057 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8058 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8059 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8060 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8061 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8062 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8063 [Geoff Thorpe]
8064
8065 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8066 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8067 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8068 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8069 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8070 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8071
8072 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8073 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8074 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8075
8076 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8077 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8078 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8079 EVP_cleanup().
8080 [Richard Levitte]
8081
8082 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8083 being properly terminated.
8084 [Richard Levitte]
8085
8086 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8087 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8088 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8089 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8090
8091 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8092 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8093 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8094 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8095 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8096 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8097 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8098 change.
8099 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8100
8101 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8102 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8103 [Bodo Moeller]
8104
8105 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8106 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8107 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8108 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8109 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8110 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8111 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8112 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8113
8114 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8115 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8116 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8117 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8118 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8119
8120 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8121 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8125
8126 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8127 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8128 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8129
8130 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8131
8132 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8133 and get fix the header length calculation.
8134 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8135 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8136 Steve Henson]
8137
8138 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8139 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8140 assertions could call abort()).
8141 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8142
8143 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8144
8145 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8146 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8147 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8148 supplied buffer.
8149 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8150
8151 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8152 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8153 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8154 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8155
8156 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8157 [Nils Larsch]
8158
8159 *) New option
8160 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8161 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8162 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8163
8164 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8165 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8166 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8167 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8168 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8169 applications.
8170 [Bodo Moeller]
8171
8172 *) Changes in security patch:
8173
8174 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8175 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8176 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8177 F30602-01-2-0537.
8178
8179 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8180 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8181 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8182 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8183 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8184
8185 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8186 happen in practice.
8187 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8188
8189 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8190 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8191 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8192
8193 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8194 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8195 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8196
8197 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8198 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8199 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8200
8201 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8202
8203 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8204 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8205 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8206
8207 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8208 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8209
8210 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8211 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8212 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8213 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8214 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8215 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8216 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8217
8218 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8219 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8220 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8221 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8222 [Bodo Moeller]
8223
8224 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8225 [Bodo Moeller]
8226
8227 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8228 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8229 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8230 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8231 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8232 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8233
8234 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8235 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8236 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8237 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8238 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8239 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8240
8241 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8242 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8243 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8244 BN_generate_prime().)
8245
8246 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8247 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8248 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8249 better.
8250 [Bodo Moeller]
8251
8252 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8253 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8254 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8255
8256 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8257 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8258 when using non-blocking I/O.
8259 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8260
8261 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8262 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8263
8264 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8265 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8266 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8267
8268 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8269 configuration for the versions before that.
8270 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8271
8272 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8273 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8274 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8275 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8276 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8277
8278 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8279 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8280 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8281 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8282
8283 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8284 value is 0.
8285 [Richard Levitte]
8286
8287 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8288 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8289 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8290
8291 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8292 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8293
8294 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8295 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8296 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8297 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8298 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8299 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8300 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8301 session cache.
8302
8303 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8304 using a local variable.
8305 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8306
8307 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8308 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8309 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8310
8311 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8312 [Richard Levitte]
8313
8314 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8315 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8316
8317 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8318 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8319 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8320
8321 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8322
8323 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8324 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8325 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8326 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8327 [Bodo Moeller]
8328
8329 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8330 present.
8331 [Steve Henson]
8332
8333 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8334 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8335 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8336 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8337 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8338
8339 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8340 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8341 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8342
8343 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8344 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8345 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8346
8347 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8348 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8349 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8350 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8351
8352 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8353 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8354 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8355 modules).
8356 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8357
8358 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8359 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8360 from 0.9.7.
8361 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8362
8363 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8364 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8365 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8366 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8367
8368 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8369 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8370 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8371 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8372
8373 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8374 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8375
8376 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8377 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8378 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8379 [Bodo Moeller]
8380
8381 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8382 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8383 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8384 become invalid.
8385 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8386
8387 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8388 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8389 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8390 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8391 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8392 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8393 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8394 [Bodo Moeller]
8395
8396 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8397 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8398 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8399 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8400
8401 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8402 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8403 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8404 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8405 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8406 the client will at least see that alert.
8407 [Bodo Moeller]
8408
8409 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8410 correctly.
8411 [Bodo Moeller]
8412
8413 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8414 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8415 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8416
8417 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8418 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8419 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8420 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8421 HelloRequest.
8422
8423 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8424 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8425 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8426
8427 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8428 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8429 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8430 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8431 may leak via logfiles.)
8432
8433 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8434 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8435 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8436 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8437 the legal range.
8438 [Bodo Moeller]
8439
8440 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8441 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8442 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8443
8444 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8445 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8446 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8447 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8448 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8449 [Bodo Moeller]
8450
8451 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8452 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8453
8454 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8455 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8456 followed by modular reduction.
8457 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8458
8459 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8460 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8461 [Bodo Moeller]
8462
8463 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8464 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8465 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8466 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8468
8469 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8470 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8471
8472 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8473 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8474 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8475
8476 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8477 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8478 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8479 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8480 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8481 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8482 automatically.
8483 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8484
8485 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8486 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8487 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8488 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8489 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8490
8491 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8492 [Andy Polyakov]
8493
8494 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8495 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8496 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8497 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8498 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8499 to allow the necessary settings.
8500 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8501
8502 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8503 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8504 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8505 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8506 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8507
8508 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8509 dh->length and always used
8510
8511 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8512
8513 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8514 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8515 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8516 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8517 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8518 dh->length.
8519
8520 So switch back to
8521
8522 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8523
8524 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8525 otherwise.
8526 [Bodo Moeller]
8527
8528 *) In
8529
8530 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8531 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8532 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8533 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8534
8535 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8536 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8537 always reject numbers >= n.
8538 [Bodo Moeller]
8539
8540 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8541 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8542 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8543 variable) is not atomic.
8544 [Bodo Moeller]
8545
8546 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8547 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8548 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8549 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8550
8551 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8552 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8553
8554 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8555 little-endian MIPS.
8556 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8557
8558 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8559 [Richard Levitte]
8560
8561 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8562
8563 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8564 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8565 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8566 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8567 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8568 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8569 to traverse all of 'state'.
8570
8571 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8572 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8573 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8574
8575 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8576 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8577
8578 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8579 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8580 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8581 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8582 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8583 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8584 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8585 further strengthens the PRNG.
8586 [Bodo Moeller]
8587
8588 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8589 [Andy Polyakov]
8590
8591 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8592 an error message in this case.
8593 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8594
8595 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8596 [Steve Henson]
8597
8598 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8599 positive and less than q.
8600 [Bodo Moeller]
8601
8602 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8603 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8604 that itself.
8605 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8606
8607 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8608 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8609 [Bodo Moeller]
8610
8611 *) Fix OAEP check.
8612 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8613
8614 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8615 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8616 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8617 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8618 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8619 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8620 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8621 paper.)
8622
8623 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8624 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8625 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8626 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8627
8628 Both problems are now fixed.
8629 [Bodo Moeller]
8630
8631 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8632 (previously it was 1024).
8633 [Bodo Moeller]
8634
8635 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8636 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8637 [Steve Henson]
8638
8639 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8640 [Steve Henson]
8641
8642 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8643 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8644 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8645 [Steve Henson]
8646
8647 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8648 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8649 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8650 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8651 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8652 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8653 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8654 environment variables.
8655
8656 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8657 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8658 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8659 [Bodo Moeller]
8660
8661 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8662 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8663 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8664 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8665 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8666 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8667 [Bodo Moeller]
8668
8669 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8670 versions of 'test'.
8671 [Bodo Moeller]
8672
8673 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8674
8675 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8676 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8677
8678 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8679 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8680 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8681 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8682 CygWin.
8683 [Richard Levitte]
8684
8685 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8686 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8687 amount of data available.
8688 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8689 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8690
8691 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8692 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8693 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8694 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8695 [Bodo Moeller]
8696
8697 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8698 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8699 and UnixWare.
8700 [Richard Levitte]
8701
8702 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8703 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8704 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8705 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8706 [Ulf Moeller]
8707
8708 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8709 [Andy Polyakov]
8710
8711 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8712 [Richard Levitte]
8713
8714 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8715 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8716 [Steve Henson]
8717 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8718
8719 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8720 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8721 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8722 (but broken) behaviour.
8723 [Steve Henson]
8724
8725 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8726 it when found.
8727 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8728
8729 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8730 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8731 [Bodo Moeller]
8732
8733 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8734 did not exist.
8735 [Bodo Moeller]
8736
8737 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8738 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8739
8740 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8741 [Richard Levitte]
8742
8743 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8744 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8745 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8746
8747 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8748 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8749 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8750 [Steve Henson]
8751
8752 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8753 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8754 [Ulf Moeller]
8755
8756 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8757 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8758
8759 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8760
8761 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8762
8763 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8764 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8765 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8766 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8767 [Bodo Moeller]
8768
8769 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8770 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8771
8772 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8773 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8774 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8775
8776 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8777 was empty.
8778 [Steve Henson]
8779 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8780
8781 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8782 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8783 but the code is actually correct.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8787 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8788 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8789 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8790 and leaves the highest bit random.
8791 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8792
8793 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8794 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8795 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8796 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8797 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8798 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8799 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8800 [Bodo Moeller]
8801
8802 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8803 [Ulf Moeller]
8804
8805 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8806 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8807 [Steve Henson]
8808
8809 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8810 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8811 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8812 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8813 headers.
8814 [Richard Levitte]
8815
8816 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8817 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8818 and break the signature.
8819 [Steve Henson]
8820 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8821
8822 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8823 DH ciphersuites.
8824 [Steve Henson]
8825
8826 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8827 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8828 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8829 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8830 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8831 [Bodo Moeller]
8832
8833 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8834 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8835
8836 *) ./config script fixes.
8837 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8838
8839 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8840 [Bodo Moeller]
8841
8842 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8843 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8844 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8845 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8846 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8847
8848 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8849 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8850 [Bodo Moeller]
8851
8852 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8853 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8854 [Steve Henson]
8855
8856 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8857 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8858 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8859 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8860
8861 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8862 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8863
8864 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8865 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8866 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8867 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8868 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8869
8870 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8871 [Bodo Moeller]
8872
8873 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8874 [Ulf Möller]
8875
8876 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8877 [Ulf Möller]
8878
8879 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8880 [Bodo Moeller]
8881
8882 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8883 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8884 [Bodo Moeller]
8885
8886 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8887 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8888 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8889 result of the server certificate verification.)
8890 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8891
8892 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8893 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8894 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8895 [Bodo Moeller]
8896
8897 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8898 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8899 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8900 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8901 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8902 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8903 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8904 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8905 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8906 [Bodo Moeller]
8907
8908 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8909 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8910 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8911 happening the other way round.
8912 [Geoff Thorpe]
8913
8914 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8915 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8916 [Bodo Moeller]
8917
8918 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8919 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8920 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8921 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8922 [Richard Levitte]
8923
8924 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8925 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8926
8927 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8928
8929 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8930 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8931 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8932 that.
8933
8934 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8935
8936 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8937
8938 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8939 static ones.
8940 [Richard Levitte]
8941
8942 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8943
8944 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8945 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8946 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8947 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8948 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8949
8950 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8951 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8952 matter what.
8953 [Richard Levitte]
8954
8955 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8956 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8957
8958 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8959
8960 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8961 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8962 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8963 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8964 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8965 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8966 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8967 by the Finished messages.
8968 [Bodo Moeller]
8969
8970 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8971 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8972
8973 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8974 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8975 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8976 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8977 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8978 appropriately.
8979 [Steve Henson]
8980
8981 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8982 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8983 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8984 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8985 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8986 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8987 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8988 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8989 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8990 together.
8991 [Steve Henson]
8992
8993 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8994 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8995 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8996 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8997
8998 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8999 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9000 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9001 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9002 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9003 the answer.
9004
9005 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9006 been tested well enough.
9007 [Richard Levitte]
9008
9009 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9010 it can return incorrect results.
9011 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9012 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9013 [Bodo Moeller]
9014
9015 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9016 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9017 include zero length content when signing messages.
9018 [Steve Henson]
9019
9020 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9021 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9022 [Bodo Möller]
9023
9024 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9025 [Richard Levitte]
9026
9027 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9028 wrong sign.
9029 [Ulf Möller]
9030
9031 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9032 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9033 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9034 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9035 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9036 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9037 [Richard Levitte]
9038
9039 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9040 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9041
9042 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9043 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9044
9045 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9046 random number < q in the DSA library.
9047 [Ulf Möller]
9048
9049 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9050 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9051 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9052 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9053 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9054 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9055 just makes things more complicated.)
9056 [Bodo Moeller]
9057
9058 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9059 from EGD.
9060 [Ben Laurie]
9061
9062 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9063 work better on such systems.
9064 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9065
9066 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9067 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9068 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9069 [Steve Henson]
9070
9071 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9072 if there was more than one signature.
9073 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9074
9075 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9076 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9077 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9078 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9079 [Richard Levitte]
9080
9081 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9082 rather than always using the current time.
9083 [Steve Henson]
9084
9085 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9086 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9087 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9088 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9089 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9090 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9091
9092 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9093 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9094
9095 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9096
9097 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9098 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9099 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9100 the same hash value.
9101
9102 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9103 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9104 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9105 with X509_STORE internally.
9106
9107 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9108 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9109
9110 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9111 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9112 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9113 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9114 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9115 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9116 entirely (maybe later...).
9117
9118 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9119
9120 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9121 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9122 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9123 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9124 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9125 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9126 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9127 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9128
9129 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9130 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9131
9132 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9133 to customise the verify behaviour.
9134 [Steve Henson]
9135
9136 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9137 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9138 [Steve Henson]
9139
9140 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9141 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9142 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9143 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9144 request is improperly encoded.
9145 [Steve Henson]
9146
9147 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9148 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9149 BIO_write(b, ...).
9150
9151 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9152 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9153
9154 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9155 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9156 words set to zero.)
9157 [Bodo Moeller]
9158
9159 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9160 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9161 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9162 [Bodo Moeller]
9163
9164 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9165 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9166 BIO/fp routines also added.
9167 [Steve Henson]
9168
9169 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9170 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9171
9172 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9173 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9174 demos/state_machine.
9175 [Ben Laurie]
9176
9177 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9178 generation and verification.
9179 [Steve Henson]
9180
9181 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9182 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9183 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9184 encode and decode it manually.
9185 [Steve Henson]
9186
9187 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9188 compile under VC++.
9189 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9190
9191 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9192 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9193 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9194 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9195
9196 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9197 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9198 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9199 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9200 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9201 [Steve Henson]
9202
9203 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9204 [Richard Levitte]
9205
9206 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9207 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9208 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9209
9210 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9211 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9212 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9213 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9214 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9215 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9216 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9217 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9218
9219 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9220 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9221
9222 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9223
9224 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9225 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9226 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9227
9228 [Richard Levitte]
9229
9230 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9231 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9232 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9233 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9234 [Richard Levitte]
9235
9236 *) MD4 implemented.
9237 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9238
9239 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9240 [Richard Levitte]
9241
9242 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9243 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9244 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9245 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9246 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9247 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9248 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9249 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9250 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9251 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9252 short or long names are found.
9253 [Steve Henson]
9254
9255 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9256 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9257
9258 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9259 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9260 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9261 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9262
9263 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9264 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9265 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9266 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9267 [Bodo Moeller]
9268
9269 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9270 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9271 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9272 [Richard Levitte]
9273
9274 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9275 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9276 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9277 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9278 to allow the various flags to be set.
9279 [Steve Henson]
9280
9281 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9282 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9283 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9284 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9285 dates to be checked.
9286 [Steve Henson]
9287
9288 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9289 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9290 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9291 [Steve Henson]
9292
9293 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9294 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9295 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9296 [Steve Henson]
9297
9298 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9299 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9300 [Bodo Moeller]
9301
9302 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9303 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9304 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9305 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9306 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9307 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9308 [Richard Levitte]
9309
9310 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9311 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9312 Random Numbers.
9313 [Ulf Möller]
9314
9315 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9316 DSA key.
9317 [Steve Henson]
9318
9319 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9320 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9321 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9322 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9323 form signing output easier to verify.
9324 [Steve Henson]
9325
9326 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9327 [Steve Henson]
9328
9329 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9330 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9331 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9332 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9333 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9334 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9335 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9336 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9337 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9338 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9339 [Steve Henson]
9340
9341 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9342
9343 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9344 the syntax given in objects.README.
9345 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9346 obj_mac.h.
9347 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9348 obj_mac.h.
9349
9350 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9351 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9352 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9353 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9354 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9355 consistent name changes.
9356 [Richard Levitte]
9357
9358 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9359 [Bodo Moeller]
9360
9361 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9362 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9363 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9364 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9365 [Richard Levitte]
9366
9367 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9368 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9369 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9370 of safestack.h .
9371 [Steve Henson]
9372
9373 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9374 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9375 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9376 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9377 [Steve Henson]
9378
9379 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9380 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9381 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9382 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9383 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9384 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9385 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9386 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9387 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9388 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9389 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9390 [Steve Henson]
9391
9392 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9393 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9394 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9395 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9396 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9397 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9398 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9399 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9400 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9401 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9402 [Steve Henson]
9403
9404 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9405 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9406 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9407 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9408
9409 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9410 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9411 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9412 omit any duplicate addresses.
9413 [Steve Henson]
9414
9415 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9416 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9417 [Bodo Moeller]
9418
9419 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9420 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9421 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9422 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9423 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9424 [Bodo Moeller]
9425
9426 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9427 software:
9428 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9429 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9430 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9431 Free => OPENSSL_free
9432 [Richard Levitte]
9433
9434 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9435 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9436 [Bodo Moeller]
9437
9438 *) CygWin32 support.
9439 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9440
9441 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9442 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9443 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9444 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9445 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9446 approach.
9447 [Geoff Thorpe]
9448
9449 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9450 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9451 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9452 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9453 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9454 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9455 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9456 [Geoff Thorpe]
9457
9458 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9459 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9460 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9461 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9462 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9463 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9464 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9465 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9466 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9467 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9468 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9469 [Bodo Moeller]
9470
9471 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9472 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9473 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9474 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9475 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9476
9477 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9478 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9479 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9480 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9481 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9482
9483 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9484 ciphers.
9485
9486 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9487 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9488 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9489 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9490
9491 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9492
9493 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9494 of macros.
9495
9496 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9497 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9498 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9499 flags.
9500
9501 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9502 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9503 any installed hardware versions can.
9504 [Steve Henson]
9505
9506 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9507 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9508 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9509 number.
9510 [Bodo Moeller]
9511
9512 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9513 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9514 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9515 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9516 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9517
9518 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9519 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9520 [Steve Henson]
9521
9522 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9523 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9524 [Richard Levitte]
9525
9526 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9527 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9528 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9529 features.
9530 [Steve Henson]
9531
9532 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9533 [Ulf Möller]
9534
9535 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9536 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9537 but no ssl client purpose.
9538 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9539
9540 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9541 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9542 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9543 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9544 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9545 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9546 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9547 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9548 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9549 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9550 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9551 [Steve Henson]
9552
9553 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9554 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9555 be obtained from the error queue.
9556 [Bodo Moeller]
9557
9558 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9559 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9560 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9561 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9562 [Bodo Moeller]
9563
9564 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9565 [Ulf Möller]
9566
9567 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9568 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9569 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9570 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9571 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9572 [Geoff Thorpe]
9573
9574 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9575 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9576 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9577 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9578 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9579 [Geoff Thorpe]
9580
9581 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9582 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9583 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9584 may not be NULL.
9585 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9586
9587 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9588 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9589 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9590 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9591 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9592 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9593 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9594 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9595 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9596 or "the configuration storage API"...
9597
9598 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9599
9600 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9601 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9602
9603 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9604
9605 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9606
9607 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9608 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9609 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9610 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9611 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9612 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9613 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9614
9615 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9616 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9617 [Richard Levitte]
9618
9619 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9620 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9621 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9622 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9623 [Bodo Moeller]
9624
9625 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9626 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9627 them in a portable way.
9628 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9629
9630 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9631
9632 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9633
9634 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9635 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9636
9637 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9638 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9639 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9640 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9641
9642 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9643 was larger than the MD block size.
9644 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9645
9646 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9647 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9648 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9649 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9650 components.
9651 [Steve Henson]
9652
9653 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9654 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9655 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9656
9657 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9658 discouraged.
9659 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9660
9661 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9662 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9663 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9664 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9665 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9666 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9667
9668 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9669 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9670
9671 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9672 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9673 [Bodo Moeller]
9674
9675 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9676 [Bodo Moeller]
9677
9678 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9679 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9680 its own key.
9681 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9682 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9683 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9684 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9685 [Bodo Moeller]
9686
9687 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9688 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9689 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9690 does not suppress any output.
9691 [Richard Levitte]
9692
9693 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9694 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9695 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9696 with all the associated security issues.
9697
9698 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9699 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9700 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9701 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9702 use the value in the default purpose.
9703 [Steve Henson]
9704
9705 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9706 and fix a memory leak.
9707 [Steve Henson]
9708
9709 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9710 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9711 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9712 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9713 [Bodo Moeller]
9714
9715 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9716 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9717 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9718 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9719 [Bodo Moeller]
9720
9721 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9722 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9723 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9724 [Bodo Moeller]
9725
9726 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9727 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9728 [Bodo Moeller]
9729
9730 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9731 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9732 which was free.
9733 [Steve Henson]
9734
9735 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9736 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9737 [Bodo Moeller]
9738
9739 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9740 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9741 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9742 [Bodo Moeller]
9743
9744 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9745 number generation fails.
9746 [Bodo Moeller]
9747
9748 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9749 [Bodo Moeller]
9750
9751 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9752 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9753
9754 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9755 [Ulf Möller]
9756
9757 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9758 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9759
9760 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9761 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9762
9763 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9764
9765 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9766 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9767 [Steve Henson]
9768
9769 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9770 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9771
9772 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9773 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9774 [Ulf Möller]
9775
9776 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9777 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9778 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9779 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9780 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9781 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9782
9783 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9784 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9785 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9786 for example.
9787 [Steve Henson]
9788
9789 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9790 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9791 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9792 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9793 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9794 counter, some don't.)
9795 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9796 counters or duplicate objects.
9797 [Steve Henson]
9798
9799 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9800 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9801 [Steve Henson]
9802
9803 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9804 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9805 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9806
9807 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9808 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9809 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9810 or -rand.
9811 [Ulf Möller]
9812
9813 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9814 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9815 [Steve Henson]
9816
9817 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9818 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9819 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9820 cipher list.
9821 [Steve Henson]
9822
9823 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9824 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9825 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827
9828 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9829 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9830 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9831 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9832 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9833 should work without changes.
9834 [Richard Levitte]
9835
9836 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9837 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9838 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9839 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9840 must be defined. E.g.,
9841 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9842 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9843 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9844 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9845
9846 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9847 record layer.
9848 [Bodo Moeller]
9849
9850 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9851 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9852 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9853 [Steve Henson]
9854
9855 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9856 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9857 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9858 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9859 [Steve Henson]
9860
9861 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9862 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9863 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9864 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9865 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9866 is prompted for as usual.
9867 [Steve Henson]
9868
9869 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9870 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9871 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9872 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9873
9874 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9875 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9876 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9877 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9878 [Steve Henson]
9879
9880 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9881 [Andy Polyakov]
9882
9883 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9884 of seed file.
9885 [Steve Henson]
9886
9887 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9888 [Bodo Moeller]
9889
9890 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9891 [Steve Henson]
9892
9893 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9894 bits.
9895 [Ulf Möller]
9896
9897 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9898 [Ulf Möller]
9899
9900 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9901 [Andy Polyakov]
9902
9903 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9904 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9905 [Ulf Möller]
9906
9907 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9908 options to produce them.
9909 [Steve Henson]
9910
9911 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9912 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9913 [Ulf Möller]
9914
9915 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9916 for p == 0.
9917 [Ulf Möller]
9918
9919 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9920 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9921 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9922 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9923 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9924 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9925 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9926 [Steve Henson]
9927
9928 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9929 [Steve Henson]
9930
9931 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9932 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9933 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9934 [Bodo Moeller]
9935
9936 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9937 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9938
9939 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9940 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9941 [Ulf Möller]
9942
9943 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9944 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9945 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9946 has already seen).
9947 [Bodo Moeller]
9948
9949 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9950 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9951
9952 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9953 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9954 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9955 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9956 generation becomes much faster.
9957
9958 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9959 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9960 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9961 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9962 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9963 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9964 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9965 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9966 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9967 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9968 [Bodo Moeller]
9969
9970 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9971 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9972 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9973 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9974 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9975 trial division stage.
9976 [Bodo Moeller]
9977
9978 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9979 as ASN1_TIME.
9980 [Steve Henson]
9981
9982 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9983 [Steve Henson]
9984
9985 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9986 [Ulf Möller]
9987
9988 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9989 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9990 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9991 the comments.
9992 [Ulf Möller]
9993
9994 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9995 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9996 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9997 [Bodo Moeller]
9998
9999 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10000 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10001 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10002 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10003
10004 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10005 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10006 [Steve Henson]
10007
10008 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10009 [Ulf Möller]
10010
10011 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10012 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10013 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10014 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10015 [Ulf Möller]
10016
10017 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10018 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10019 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10020 [Ulf Möller]
10021
10022 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10023 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10024 (instead of parameters) in future.
10025 [Steve Henson]
10026
10027 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10028 when a new cipher list is set.
10029 [Steve Henson]
10030
10031 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10032 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10033 wrong.
10034
10035 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10036 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10037 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10038
10039 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10040 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10041 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10042 an error is flagged.
10043
10044 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10045 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10046 the readability was also increased :-)
10047 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10048
10049 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10050 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10051 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10052 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10053 as the root CA.
10054 [Steve Henson]
10055
10056 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10057 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10058 [Steve Henson]
10059
10060 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10061 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10062 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10063 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10064 instead.
10065
10066 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10067 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10068 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10069 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10070 because they handle more complex structures.)
10071 [Steve Henson]
10072
10073 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10074 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10075 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10076 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10077
10078 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10079 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10080 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10081 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10082 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10083 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10084 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10085 [Ulf Möller]
10086
10087 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10088 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10089 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10090 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10091 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10092 [Bodo Moeller]
10093
10094 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10095 [Bodo Moeller]
10096
10097 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10098 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10099 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10100 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10101 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10102 to use this.
10103
10104 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10105 code.
10106 [Steve Henson]
10107
10108 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10109 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10110 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10111 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10112 [Steve Henson]
10113
10114 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10115 [Ulf Möller]
10116
10117 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10118 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10119 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10120 international characters are used.
10121
10122 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10123 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10124 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10125 in ASN1 order.
10126 [Steve Henson]
10127
10128 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10129 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10130 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10131 request.
10132
10133 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10134 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10135 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10136 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10137 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10138 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10139
10140 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10141 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10142 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10143 be handled by the string table functions.
10144
10145 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10146 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10147 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10148 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10149 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10150 types at all.
10151 [Steve Henson]
10152
10153 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10154 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10155 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10156 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10157 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10158
10159 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10160 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10161 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10162 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10163 [Bodo Moeller]
10164
10165 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10166 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10167 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10168 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10169 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10170 SHA1.
10171 [Andy Polyakov]
10172
10173 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10174 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10175 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10176 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10177 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10178 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10179 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10180 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10181
10182 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10183 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10184 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10185 [Steve Henson]
10186
10187 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10188 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10189 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10190 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10191 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10192 support to pkcs8 application.
10193 [Steve Henson]
10194
10195 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10196 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10197 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10198 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10199 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10200 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10201 [Bodo Moeller]
10202
10203 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10204 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10205 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10206 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10207 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10208 consistency.
10209 [Bodo Moeller]
10210
10211 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10212 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10213 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10214 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10215 example.
10216 [Steve Henson]
10217
10218 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10219 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10220 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10221 and any application specific purposes.
10222
10223 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10224 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10225 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10226 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10227 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10228 if the certificate is self signed.
10229 [Steve Henson]
10230
10231 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10232 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10233 [Steve Henson]
10234
10235 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10236 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10237 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10238 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10239 [Steve Henson]
10240
10241 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10242 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10243 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10244 Update documentation.
10245 [Steve Henson]
10246
10247 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10248 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10249 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10250 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10251 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10252 [Steve Henson]
10253
10254 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10255 for details.
10256 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10257
10258 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10259 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10260 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10261 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10262 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10263 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10264 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10265 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10266 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10267 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10268
10269 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10270
10271 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10272 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10273 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10274 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10275 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10276
10277 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10278 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10279 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10280 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10281 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10282 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10283 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10284 request additional information:
10285 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10286 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10287
10288 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10289 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10290 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10291 options.
10292
10293 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10294 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10295
10296 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10297 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10298 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10299
10300 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10301 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10302
10303 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10304 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10305 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10306 algorithm.
10307 [Steve Henson]
10308
10309 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10310 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10311 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10312
10313 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10314 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10315 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10316 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10317 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10318 included in OpenSSL.
10319 [Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10322 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10323 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10324 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10325 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10326 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10327 [Bodo Moeller]
10328
10329 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10330 PKCS12 structure.
10331 [Steve Henson]
10332
10333 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10334 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10335 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10336 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10337 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10338 structure.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10342 need initialising.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10346 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10347 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10348 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10349 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10350 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10351 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10352 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10353 be maintained manually.
10354
10355 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10356 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10357 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10358 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10359 work because people forget to call this function]
10360 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10361 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10362 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10363 [Steve Henson]
10364
10365 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10366 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10367 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10368 should be discouraged from doing it.
10369 [Ben Laurie]
10370
10371 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10372 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10373 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10374 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10375 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10376 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10377 [Steve Henson]
10378
10379 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10380 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10381 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10382
10383 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10384 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10385 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10386
10387 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10388 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10389 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10390 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10391 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10392 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10393
10394 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10395 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10396 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10397
10398 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10399 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10400 and vice versa.
10401
10402 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10403 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10404 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10405 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10409 [Steve Henson]
10410
10411 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10412 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10413 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10414 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10415 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10416 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10417 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10418 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10419 keys so we should be OK.
10420
10421 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10422 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10423 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10424 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10425 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10426 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10427 stay in the name of compatibility.
10428
10429 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10430 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10431 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10432
10433 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10434 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10435 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10436 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10437 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10438 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10439 supplied key).
10440 [Steve Henson]
10441
10442 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10443 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10444 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10445 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10446 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10447 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10448 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10449 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10450 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10451 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10452 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10453 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10454 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10455 [Steve Henson]
10456
10457 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10461 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10462 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10463 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10464 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10465 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10466 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10467 openssl verify ss.pem
10468 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10469 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10470 is OK.
10471 [Steve Henson]
10472
10473 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10474 (and add it to external session representation).
10475 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10476 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10477 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10478 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10479 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10480 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10481 security holes.
10482 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10483
10484 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10485 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10486 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10487 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10488
10489 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10490 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10491 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10492 [Steve Henson]
10493
10494 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10495 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10496 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10497 code.
10498 [Steve Henson]
10499
10500 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10501 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10502 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10503
10504 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10505 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10506 certificate auxiliary information.
10507 [Steve Henson]
10508
10509 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10510 the 'enc' command.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10514 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10515 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10516 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10517 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10518 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10519 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10520 [Richard Levitte]
10521
10522 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10523 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10524 [Steve Henson]
10525
10526 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10527 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10528 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10529 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10530 [Steve Henson]
10531
10532 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10533 [Steve Henson]
10534
10535 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10536 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10537 [Steve Henson]
10538
10539 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10540 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10541 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10542 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10543 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10544 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10545 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10546 using the new 'x509' options.
10547
10548 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10549 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10550 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10551 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10552 for all purposes.
10553 [Steve Henson]
10554
10555 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10556 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10557 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10558 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10559 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10560 [Mark Cox]
10561
10562 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10563 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10564 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10565 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10566 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10567 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10568 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10569 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10570 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10571 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10572 [Steve Henson]
10573
10574 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10575 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10576 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10577 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10578 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10579 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10580 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10581 [Steve Henson]
10582
10583 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10584 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10585 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10586 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10587 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10588 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10589 openssl.cnf for more info.
10590 [Steve Henson]
10591
10592 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10593 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10594 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10595 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10596 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10597 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10598 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10599 md should be large enough anyway.
10600 [Bodo Moeller]
10601
10602 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10603 for handling the random seed file.
10604
10605 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10606 ca,
10607 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10608 s_client,
10609 s_server,
10610 x509 (when signing).
10611 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10612 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10613 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10614
10615 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10616 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10617 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10618 that support '-rand'.
10619 [Bodo Moeller]
10620
10621 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10622 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10623 [Bodo Moeller]
10624
10625 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10626 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10627 [Bill Perry]
10628
10629 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10630 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10631 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10632 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10633 is suitable.
10634 [Steve Henson]
10635
10636 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10637 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10638 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10639 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10640 [Steve Henson]
10641
10642 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10643 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10644 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10645 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10646 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10647 print out all the purposes.
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10651 functions.
10652 [Steve Henson]
10653
10654 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10655 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10656 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10657 single function call.
10658 [Steve Henson]
10659
10660 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10661 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10662 [Andy Polyakov]
10663
10664 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10665 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10666 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10670 when producing the local key id.
10671 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10672
10673 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10674 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10675 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10676 "server.pem".
10677 [Steve Henson]
10678
10679 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10680 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10681 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10682 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10683 [Steve Henson]
10684
10685 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10686 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10687 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10688 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10689
10690 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10691 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10692 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10693 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10694
10695 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10696 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10697 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10698 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10699 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10700 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10701 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10702 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10703 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10704 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10705 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10706 trivial: move one line.
10707 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10708
10709 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10710 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10711 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10712 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10713 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10714 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10715 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10716 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10717 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10718 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10719 with an event loop for example.
10720 [Steve Henson]
10721
10722 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10723 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10724 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10725 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10726 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10727 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10728 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10729 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10730 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10731 [Steve Henson]
10732
10733 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10734 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10735 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10736 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10737 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10738 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10739 [Steve Henson]
10740
10741 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10742 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10743 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10744 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10745
10746 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10747 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10748 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10749 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10750 key generation.
10751 [Steve Henson]
10752
10753 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10754 (still largely untested)
10755 [Bodo Moeller]
10756
10757 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10758 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10759 [Steve Henson]
10760
10761 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10762 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10763 [Steve Henson]
10764
10765 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10766 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10767 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10768 [Bodo Moeller]
10769
10770 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10771 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10772 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10773 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10774 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10775 [Steve Henson]
10776
10777 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10778 [Andy Polyakov]
10779
10780 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10781 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10782 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10783 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10784 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10785 in ca.
10786 [Steve Henson]
10787
10788 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10789 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10790 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10791 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10792 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10793 [Steve Henson]
10794
10795 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10796 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10797 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10798 are otherwise ignored at present.
10799 [Steve Henson]
10800
10801 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10802 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10803 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10804 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10805 copied until the next read.
10806 [Steve Henson]
10807
10808 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10809 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10810 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10811 [Steve Henson]
10812
10813 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10814 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10815 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10816 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10817 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10818 associated functions.
10819 [Steve Henson]
10820
10821 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10822 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10823 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10824 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10825 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10826 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10827 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10828 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10829 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10830 memory BIOs.
10831 [Steve Henson]
10832
10833 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10834 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10835 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10836 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10837 [Bodo Moeller]
10838
10839 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10840 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10841 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10842 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10843 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10844 functionality.
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10848 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10849 under Win32.
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10853 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10854 extensions to be obtained and added.
10855 [Steve Henson]
10856
10857 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10858 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10859 [Bodo Moeller]
10860
10861 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10862
10863 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10864 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10865
10866 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10867 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10868
10869 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10870 program.
10871 [Steve Henson]
10872
10873 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10874 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10875 DH parameters contain its length).
10876
10877 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10878 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10879 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10880 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10881 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10882 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10883 utter importance to use
10884 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10885 or
10886 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10887 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10888 attacks may become possible!
10889 [Bodo Moeller]
10890
10891 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10892 [Bodo Moeller]
10893
10894 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10895 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10896 [Steve Henson]
10897
10898 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10899 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10900 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10901 or long name.
10902 [Steve Henson]
10903
10904 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10905 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10906 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10907 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10908 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10909 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10910 private key operations.
10911 [Steve Henson]
10912
10913 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10914 [Andy Polyakov]
10915
10916 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10917 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10918 to
10919 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10920 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10921 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10922 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10923 the password callback is called.
10924 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10925
10926 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10927
10928 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10929 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10930 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10931 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10932 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10933 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10934 this will work.
10935
10936 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10937 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10938 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10939 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10940 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10941 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10942 [Bodo Moeller]
10943
10944 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10945 [Andy Polyakov]
10946
10947 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10948 delete an unused file.
10949 [Ulf Möller]
10950
10951 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10952 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10953 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10954 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10955 [Steve Henson]
10956
10957 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10958 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10959 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10960 of an error.
10961 [Bodo Moeller]
10962
10963 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10964 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10965 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10966
10967 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10968 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10969 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10970 comparison" warnings.
10971 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10972 [Steve Henson]
10973
10974 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10975 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10976 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10977 [Steve Henson]
10978
10979 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10980 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10981
10982 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10983 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10984
10985 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10986 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10987 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10988
10989 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10990 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10991 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10992 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10993 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10994 this bug.
10995 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10996
10997 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10998 The interface is as follows:
10999 Applications can use
11000 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11001 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11002 "off" is now the default.
11003 The library internally uses
11004 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11005 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11006 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11007
11008 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11009 even the default) are now avoided.
11010
11011 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11012 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11013 than just having a counter.
11014
11015 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11016
11017 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11018 extensions.
11019 [Bodo Moeller]
11020
11021 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11022 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11023 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11024 Initial "mode" flags are:
11025
11026 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11027 a single record has been written.
11028 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11029 retries use the same buffer location.
11030 (But all of the contents must be
11031 copied!)
11032 [Bodo Moeller]
11033
11034 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11035 worked.
11036
11037 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11038 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11039
11040 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11041 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11042 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11046 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11047 test programs.
11048 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11049
11050 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11051 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11052 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11053 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11054 point to the end.
11055 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11056 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11057
11058 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11059 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11060 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11061 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11062 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11063 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11067 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11068 necessary function names.
11069 [Steve Henson]
11070
11071 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11072 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11073 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11074 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11075 [Bodo Moeller]
11076
11077 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11078 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11079 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11080 [Steve Henson]
11081
11082 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11083 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11084 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11085 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11086 such programs?)
11087 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11088 need locks.
11089 [Bodo Moeller]
11090
11091 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11092 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11093 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11094 [Bodo Moeller]
11095
11096 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11097 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11098 appropriate.
11099 [Bodo Moeller]
11100
11101 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11102 for the encoded length.
11103 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11104
11105 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11106 [Steve Henson]
11107
11108 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11109 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11110 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11111 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11112 [Steve Henson]
11113
11114 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11115 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11116 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11117
11118 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11119 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11120 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11121 unusual formatting.
11122 [Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11125 to use the new extension code.
11126 [Steve Henson]
11127
11128 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11129 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11130 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11131 constant.
11132 [Steve Henson]
11133
11134 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11135 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11136 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11137 [Bodo Moeller]
11138
11139 #if 0
11140 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11141 [Ben Laurie]
11142 #else
11143 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11144 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11145 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11146 #endif
11147
11148 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11149 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11150 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11151 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11152 [Ben Laurie]
11153
11154 *) DES library cleanups.
11155 [Ulf Möller]
11156
11157 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11158 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11159 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11160 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11161 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11162 of v2.0.
11163 [Steve Henson]
11164
11165 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11166 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11167 [Bodo Moeller]
11168
11169 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11170 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11171 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11172 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11173 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11174 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11175 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11176 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11177 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11178 [Steve Henson]
11179
11180 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11181 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11182 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11183 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11184 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11185 value doesn't matter.
11186 [Steve Henson]
11187
11188 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11189 support mutable.
11190 [Ben Laurie]
11191
11192 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11193 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11194 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11195 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11196
11197 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11198 [Ulf Möller]
11199
11200 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11201 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11202 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11203
11204 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11205 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11206
11207 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11208 [Ben Laurie]
11209
11210 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11211 [Ben Laurie]
11212
11213 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11214 [Ben Laurie]
11215
11216 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11217 [Bodo Moeller]
11218
11219
11220 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11221
11222 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11223
11224 *) Updated some demos.
11225 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11226
11227 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11228 [Wu Zhigang]
11229
11230 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11231 [Steve Henson]
11232
11233 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11234 [Steve Henson]
11235
11236 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11237 instead of using a fixed path.
11238 [Bodo Moeller]
11239
11240 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11241 [Andy Polyakov]
11242
11243 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11244 [Richard Levitte]
11245
11246
11247 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11248
11249 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11250 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11251 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11252
11253 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11254 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11255 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11256 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11257 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11258 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11259 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11260 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11261 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11262 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11263 [Steve Henson]
11264
11265 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11266 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11267 [Steve Henson]
11268
11269 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11270 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11271 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11272 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11273 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11274
11275 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11276 [Bodo Moeller]
11277
11278 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11279 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11280 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11281 [Steve Henson]
11282
11283 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11284 [Ben Laurie]
11285
11286 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11287 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11288 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11289 key elements as negative integers.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11293 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11294
11295 *) VMS support.
11296 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11297
11298 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11299 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11300 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11301 [Steve Henson]
11302
11303 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11304 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11305 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11306 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11307 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11308 [Bodo Moeller]
11309
11310 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11311 [Ulf Möller]
11312
11313 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11314 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11315 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11317
11318 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11319 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11320 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11321
11322 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11323 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11324 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11325 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11326 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11327 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11328 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11329 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11330 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11331
11332 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11333 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11334 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11335 does not influence s as it used to.
11336
11337 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11338 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11339 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11340 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11341 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11342 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11343 [Bodo Moeller]
11344
11345 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11346 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11347 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11348 key type.
11349 [Steve Henson]
11350
11351 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11352 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11353 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11354 and 'x509').
11355 [Steve Henson]
11356
11357 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11358 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11359 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11360 extension option.
11361 [Steve Henson]
11362
11363 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11364 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11365 [Ben Laurie]
11366
11367 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11368 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11369
11370 *) Support Mingw32.
11371 [Ulf Möller]
11372
11373 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11374 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11375
11376 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11377 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11378
11379 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11380 [Ulf Möller]
11381
11382 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11383 [Anonymous]
11384
11385 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11387
11388 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11389 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11390 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11391 DER-encoded.)
11392 [Bodo Moeller]
11393
11394 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11395 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11396 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11397 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11398 now it really counts the depth.
11399 [Bodo Moeller]
11400
11401 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11402 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11403 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11404 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11405 didn't match the private key).
11406
11407 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11408 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11409 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11410 [Bodo Moeller]
11411
11412 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11413 [Ulf Möller]
11414
11415 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11416 David Harris.
11417 [Bodo Moeller]
11418
11419 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11420 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11421 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11422 [Bodo Moeller]
11423
11424 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11425 [Bodo Moeller]
11426
11427 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11428 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11429 such as /usr/local/bin.
11430 [Bodo Moeller]
11431
11432 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11433 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11434
11435 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11436 [Ulf Möller]
11437
11438 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11439 extension adding in x509 utility.
11440 [Steve Henson]
11441
11442 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11443 [Ulf Möller]
11444
11445 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11446 prototypes.
11447 [Steve Henson]
11448
11449 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11450 [Ulf Möller]
11451
11452 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11453 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11454 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11455 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11456 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11457 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11458 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11459 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11460 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11461 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11462 [Steve Henson]
11463
11464 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11465 [Bodo Moeller]
11466
11467 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11468 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11469 [Bodo Moeller]
11470
11471 *) Fix some race conditions.
11472 [Bodo Moeller]
11473
11474 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11475 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11476 [Steve Henson]
11477
11478 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11479 [Ulf Möller]
11480
11481 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11482 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11483 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11484 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11485
11486 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11487 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11488
11489 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11490 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11491 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11492
11493 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11494 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11495
11496 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11497 [Ulf Möller]
11498
11499 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11500 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11501
11502 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11503 [Ulf Möller]
11504
11505 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11506 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11507
11508 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11509 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11510 [Steve Henson]
11511
11512 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11513 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11514 [Ben Laurie]
11515
11516 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11517 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11518 [Steve Henson]
11519
11520 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11521 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11522 [Steve Henson]
11523
11524 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11525 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11526 [Steve Henson]
11527
11528 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11529 support typesafe stack.
11530 [Steve Henson]
11531
11532 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11533 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11534
11535 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11536 old X509V3 handling code.
11537 [Steve Henson]
11538
11539 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11540 [Ulf Möller]
11541
11542 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11543 [Bodo Moeller]
11544
11545 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11546 [Ben Laurie]
11547
11548 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11549 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11550
11551 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11552 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11553 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11554 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11555 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11556 [Ben Laurie]
11557
11558 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11559 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11560 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11561 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11562 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11563
11564 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11565 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11566 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11568
11569 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11570 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11571 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11572 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11573
11574 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11575 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11576 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11577 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11578 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11579 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11580 [Bodo Moeller]
11581
11582 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11583 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11584 [Bodo Moeller]
11585
11586 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11587 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11588 [Ulf Möller]
11589
11590 *) Tweaks to Configure
11591 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11592
11593 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11594 yet...
11595 [Steve Henson]
11596
11597 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11598 [Ulf Möller]
11599
11600 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11601 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11602 [Ulf Möller]
11603
11604 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11605 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11606 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11607 [Bodo Moeller]
11608
11609 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11610 [Bodo Moeller]
11611
11612 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11613 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11614 [Steve Henson]
11615
11616 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11617 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11618 to library startup routines.
11619 [Steve Henson]
11620
11621 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11622 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11623 codes along the way.
11624 [Steve Henson]
11625
11626 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11627 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11628 objects to objects.h
11629 [Steve Henson]
11630
11631 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11632 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11636 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11637
11638 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11639 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11640 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11641
11642 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11643 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11644 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11645
11646 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11647 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11648 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11649
11650
11651 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11652
11653 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11654 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11655 [Ben Laurie]
11656
11657 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11658 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11659 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11660 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11661 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11662
11663 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11664 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11665 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11666 document.
11667 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11668
11669 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11670 Malloc, Free.
11671 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11672
11673 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11674 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11675
11676 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11677 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11678 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11679 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11680
11681 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11682 [Ben Laurie]
11683
11684 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11685 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11686 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11687 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11688 [Steve Henson]
11689
11690 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11691 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11692 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11693 [Steve Henson]
11694
11695 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11696 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11697 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11698 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11699 installed as `perl').
11700 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11701
11702 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11703 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11704
11705 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11706 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11707 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11708 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11709 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11710 [Steve Henson]
11711
11712 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11713 [Ben Laurie]
11714
11715 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11716 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11717 is horrible: I feel ill....
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11721 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11722 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11723 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11724 [Steve Henson]
11725
11726 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11728
11729 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11730 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11731 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11732 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11733
11734 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11735 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11736 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11737 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11738 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11739 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11740 openssl_bio.xs.
11741 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11742
11743 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11744 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11745
11746 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11747 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11748
11749 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11750 [Ben Laurie]
11751
11752 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11753 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11754 in CRLs.
11755 [Steve Henson]
11756
11757 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11758 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11759 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11760 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11761 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11762 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11763 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11764 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11765 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11766 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11768
11769 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11770 [Ben Laurie]
11771
11772 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11773 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11774 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11775 for linking it into DSOs.
11776 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11777
11778 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11779 Fixed.
11780 [Ben Laurie]
11781
11782 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11783 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11784 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11785 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11786 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11787 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11788
11789 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11790 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11791 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11792 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11793 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11794 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11796
11797 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11798 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11799 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11800 encryption.
11801 [Ben Laurie]
11802
11803 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11804 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11805 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11806 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11810 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11811 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11812 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11813 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11814 field as blank.
11815 [Steve Henson]
11816
11817 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11818 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11819 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11820 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11822
11823 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11824 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11825 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11826
11827 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11828 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11829
11830 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11831 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11832 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11833 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11834 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11835 [Steve Henson]
11836
11837 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11838 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11839 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11840 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11841 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11842 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11843 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11844 [Ben Laurie]
11845
11846 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11847 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11848 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11849 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11850 [Ben Laurie]
11851
11852 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11853 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11854
11855 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11856 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11857 [Steve Henson]
11858
11859 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11860 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11861 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11862 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11863 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11864 (e.g. s_server).
11865 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11866 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11867 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11868 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11869 no way to reconfigure them.
11870 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11871 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11872 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11873 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11874 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11876
11877 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11878 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11879 recognized by the users.
11880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11881
11882 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11883 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11884 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11885 already masked variable.
11886 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11887
11888 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11889 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11890
11891 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11892 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11893 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11894 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11895
11896 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11897 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11898 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11899
11900 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11901 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11902 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11903 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11904 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11905 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11906 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11907 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11908 now, too.
11909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11910
11911 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11912 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11913 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11914
11915 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11916 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11917 config file.
11918 [Steve Henson]
11919
11920 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11921 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11922
11923 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11924 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11925 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11926 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11927 [Ben Laurie]
11928
11929 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11930 [Steve Henson]
11931
11932 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11933 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11934
11935 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11936 [Ben Laurie]
11937
11938 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11939 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11940 [Steve Henson]
11941
11942 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11943 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11944 [Steve Henson]
11945
11946 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11947 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11948 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11949 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11950 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11951 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11952 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11953 Ben Laurie]
11954
11955 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11956 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11957
11958 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11959 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11960 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11961 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11962 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11963
11964 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11965 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11966 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11967 [Steve Henson]
11968
11969 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11970 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11971 an example.
11972 [Steve Henson]
11973
11974 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11975 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11976 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11977
11978 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11979 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11980 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11981 build instructions.
11982 [Steve Henson]
11983
11984 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11985 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11986 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11987 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11988 [Steve Henson]
11989
11990 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11991 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11992 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11993 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11994 [Ben Laurie]
11995
11996 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11997 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11998 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11999 so it wasn't spotted.
12000 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12001
12002 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12003 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12004 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12005 vectors if you have them.
12006 [Ben Laurie]
12007
12008 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12009 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12010 [Ben Laurie]
12011
12012 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12013 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12014 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12015 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12016 If you do a:
12017 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12018 it will update them.
12019 [Steve Henson]
12020
12021 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12022 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12023 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12024 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12025 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12026 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12027 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12029
12030 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12031 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12032 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12033 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12034 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12035 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12036 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12037 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12038 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12040
12041 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12042 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12043 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12044 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12045 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12046 [Steve Henson]
12047
12048 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12049 INTEGER code.
12050 [Steve Henson]
12051
12052 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12053 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12054
12055 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12056 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12057
12058 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12059 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12060 [Ben Laurie]
12061
12062 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12063 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12064
12065 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12066 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12067
12068 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12069 [Steve Henson]
12070
12071 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12072 few typos.
12073 [Steve Henson]
12074
12075 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12076 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12077 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12078 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12079
12080 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12081 [Steve Henson]
12082
12083 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12084 [Steve Henson]
12085
12086 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12087 [Steve Henson]
12088
12089 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12090 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12091 [Steve Henson]
12092
12093 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12094 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12095 CA extensions.
12096 [Steve Henson]
12097
12098 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12099 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12100 [Steve Henson]
12101
12102 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12103 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12104 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12105 [Steve Henson]
12106
12107 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12108 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12109 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12110 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12111 properly to be processed.
12112 [Steve Henson]
12113
12114 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12115 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12116 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12117 [Ben Laurie]
12118
12119 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12120 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12121
12122 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12123 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12124 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12125 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12126 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12127 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12128 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12129 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12130 or delete all the .err files.
12131 [Steve Henson]
12132
12133 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12134 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12135 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12136 to regenerate it if needed.
12137 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12138 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12139
12140 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12141 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12142
12143 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12144 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12145 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12146 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12147 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12148 [Steve Henson]
12149
12150 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12151 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12152
12153 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12154 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12155
12156 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12157 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12158 error, but didn't set one).
12159 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12160
12161 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12162 [Ben Laurie]
12163
12164 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12165 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12166 [Steve Henson]
12167
12168 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12169 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12170
12171 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12172 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12173 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12174 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12175 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12176 OID is not part of the table.
12177 [Steve Henson]
12178
12179 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12180 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12181 [Ben Laurie]
12182
12183 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12184 [Ben Laurie]
12185
12186 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12187 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12188 was "1234").
12189 [Steve Henson]
12190
12191 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12192 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12193
12194 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12195 NULL pointers.
12196 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12197
12198 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12199 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12200
12201 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12202 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12203
12204 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12205 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12206
12207 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12208 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12209 [Ben Laurie]
12210
12211 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12212 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12213 [Steve Henson]
12214
12215 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12216 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12217
12218 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12219 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12220
12221 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12222 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12223
12224 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12225 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12226
12227 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12228 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12229 unused in the certificate verification process.
12230 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12231
12232 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12233 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12237 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12238 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12239
12240 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12241 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12242 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12243 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12244 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12245
12246 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12247 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12248 [Steve Henson]
12249
12250 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12251 [Steve Henson]
12252
12253 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12254 [Paul Sutton]
12255
12256 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12257 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12258
12259 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12260 [Ben Laurie]
12261
12262 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12263 [Ben Laurie]
12264
12265 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12266 [Ben Laurie]
12267
12268 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12269 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12270 other error libraries.
12271 [Steve Henson]
12272
12273 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12274 [Steve Henson]
12275
12276 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12277 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12278 be read in.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12282 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12283 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12284 the new set of documentation files.
12285 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12286
12287 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12288 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12289 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12290 number of arguments.
12291 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12292
12293 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12294 [Ben Laurie]
12295
12296 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12297 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12298 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12299
12300 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12301 [Ben Laurie]
12302
12303 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12304 nextstep
12305 ncr-scde
12306 unixware-2.0
12307 unixware-2.0-pentium
12308 sco5-cc.
12309 [Ben Laurie]
12310
12311 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12312 before they are needed.
12313 [Ben Laurie]
12314
12315 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12316 [Ben Laurie]
12317
12318
12319 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12320
12321 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12322 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12323 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12324
12325 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12326 [Paul Sutton]
12327
12328 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12329 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12330 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12331
12332 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12333 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12334 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12335
12336 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12337 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12339
12340 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12341 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12342
12343 *) Updated the README file.
12344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12345
12346 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12347 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12348 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12349
12350 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12351 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12353
12354 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12355 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12356 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12357 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12358 o removed obsolete TODO file
12359 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12361
12362 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12363 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12364 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12365 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12366 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12367 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12369
12370 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12371 [Mark J. Cox]
12372
12373 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12374 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12375 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12376 summer 1998.
12377 [The OpenSSL Project]
12378
12379
12380 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12381
12382 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12383 [Eric A. Young]
12384
12385 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12386 [Eric A. Young]
12387
