4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
8 platform rather than 'mingw'.
9 [Richard Levitte]
10
11 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
12 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
13 [Andy Polyakov]
14
15 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
16 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
17 [Richard Levitte]
18
19 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
20 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
21 which is the minimum version we support.
22 [Richard Levitte]
23
24 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
25 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
26 are no longer allowed.
27 [Emilia Käsper]
28
29 *) Add support for ARIA
30 [Paul Dale]
31
32 *) Add support for SipHash
33 [Todd Short]
34
35 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
36 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
37 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
38 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
39 [Matt Caswell]
40
41 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
42 using the algorithm defined in
43 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
44 [Richard Levitte]
45
46 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
47 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
48
49 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
50 [Emilia Käsper]
51
52 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
53
54 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
55
56 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
57 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
58 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
59 and servers are affected.
60
61 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
62 (CVE-2017-3733)
63 [Matt Caswell]
64
65 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
66
67 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
68
69 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
70 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
71 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
72
73 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
74 (CVE-2017-3731)
75 [Andy Polyakov]
76
77 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
78
79 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
80 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
81 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
82 of Service attack.
83
84 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
85 (CVE-2017-3730)
86 [Matt Caswell]
87
88 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
89
90 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
91 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
92 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
93 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
94 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
95 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
96 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
97 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
98 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
99 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
100 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
101 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
102 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
103
104 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
105 (CVE-2017-3732)
106 [Andy Polyakov]
107
108 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
109
110 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
111
112 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
113 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
114 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
115
116 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
117 (CVE-2016-7054)
118 [Richard Levitte]
119
120 *) CMS Null dereference
121
122 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
123 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
124 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
125 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
126 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
127 affected.
128
129 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
130 (CVE-2016-7053)
131 [Stephen Henson]
132
133 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
134
135 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
136 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
137 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
138 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
139 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
140 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
141 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
142 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
143 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
144 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
145 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
146 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
147 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
148 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
149
150 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
151 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
152 providing reproducible case.
153 (CVE-2016-7055)
154 [Andy Polyakov]
155
156 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
157 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
158 [Richard Levitte]
159
160 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
161
162 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
163
164 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
165 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
166 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
167 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
168 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
169 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
170
171 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
172
173 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
174 (CVE-2016-6309)
175 [Matt Caswell]
176
177 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
178
179 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
180
181 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
182 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
183 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
184 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
185 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
186 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
187 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
188
189 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
190 (CVE-2016-6304)
191 [Matt Caswell]
192
193 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
194
195 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
196 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
197 Denial Of Service attack.
198
199 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
200 (CVE-2016-6305)
201 [Matt Caswell]
202
203 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
204 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
205
206 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
207 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
208 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
209 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
210 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
211 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
212 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
213 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
214 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
215 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
216 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
217 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
218 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
219 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
220 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
221
222 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
223 that the connection fails
224 or
225 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
226 very little free memory
227 or
228 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
229 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
230 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
231 memory to service the multiple requests.
232
233 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
234 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
235 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
236 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
237 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
238
239 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
240 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
241 [Matt Caswell]
242
243 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
244 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
245 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
246 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
247 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
248 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
249 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
250 [Andy Polyakov]
251
252 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
253
254 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
255 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
256 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
257 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
258 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
259 non-ASCII password.
260 [Andy Polyakov]
261
262 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
263 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
264 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
265 [Rich Salz]
266
267 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
268 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
269 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
270 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
271 [Matt Caswell]
272
273 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
274 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
275 success.
276 [Matt Caswell]
277
278 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
279 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
280 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
281 no-ops and deprecated.
282 [Matt Caswell]
283
284 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
285 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
286 were also closed.
287 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
288
289 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
290 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
291 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
292 [Rich Salz]
293
294 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
295 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
296 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
297 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
298 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
299 and the validity of object reference counter.
300 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
301
302 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
303 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
304 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
305 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
306 [Richard Levitte]
307
308 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
309 [Richard Levitte]
310
311 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
312 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
313 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
314 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
315
316 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
317
318 [Richard Levitte]
319
320 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
321 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
322 [Steve Henson]
323
324 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
325 [Andy Polyakov]
326
327 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
328 [Rich Salz]
329
330 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
331 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
332 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
333 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
334 name and is used as is.
335 [Richard Levitte]
336
337 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
338 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
339 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
340 [Rich Salz]
341
342 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
343 the "no-shared" Configure option.
344 [Matt Caswell]
345
346 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
347 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
348 algorithms.
349 [Matt Caswell]
350
351 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
352 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
353 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
354 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
355 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
356 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
357 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
358 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
359 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
360 [Matt Caswell]
361
362 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
363 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
364 enabled with '--debug' builds.
365 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
366
367 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
368 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
369 these have been added.
370 [Matt Caswell]
371
372 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
373 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
374 functions for managing these have been added.
375 [Richard Levitte]
376
377 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
378 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
379 these have been added.
380 [Matt Caswell]
381
382 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
383 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
384 have been added.
385 [Matt Caswell]
386
387 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
388 [Matt Caswell]
389
390 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
391 [Richard Levitte]
392
393 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
394 it is always safe to #include a header now.
395 [Rich Salz]
396
397 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
398 [Richard Levitte]
399
400 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
401 [Rich Salz]
402
403 *) Add support for HKDF.
404 [Alessandro Ghedini]
405
406 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
407 [Bill Cox]
408
409 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
410 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
411 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
412 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
413 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
414 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
415 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
416 [Matt Caswell]
417
418 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
419 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
420 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
421 [Catriona Lucey]
422
423 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
424 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
425 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
426 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
427 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
428 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
429 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
430
431 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
432 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
433 [Todd Short]
434
435 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
436 [Todd Short]
437
438 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
439 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
440 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
441 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
442 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
443 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
444 default cipherlist.
445 [Emilia Käsper]
446
447 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
448 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
449 [Rich Salz]
450
451 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
452 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
453 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
454 [Matt Caswell]
455
456 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
457 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
458 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
459 implemented by other servers.
460 [Emilia Käsper]
461
462 *) Add X25519 support.
463 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
464 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
465 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
466 key generation and key derivation.
467
468 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
469 X25519(29).
470 [Steve Henson]
471
472 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
473 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
474 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
475 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
476 seed, even if the seed is configured.
477
478 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
479 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
480 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
481 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
482 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
483 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
484 that of a valid user.
485 [Emilia Käsper]
486
487 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
488 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
489 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
490 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
491
492 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
493 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
494
495 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
496 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
497 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
498 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
499
500 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
501 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
502 irrelevant.
503 [Richard Levitte]
504
505 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
506 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
507 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
508 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
509 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
510 of how OpenSSL was configured.
511
512 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
513 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
514 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
515 [Richard Levitte]
516
517 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
518 [Rich Salz]
519
520 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
521 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
522 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
523 removed.
524 [Richard Levitte]
525
526 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
527 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
528 old #define's might need to be updated.
529 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
530
531 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
532 [Rich Salz]
533
534 *) New "unified" build system
535
536 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
537 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
538
539 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
540 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
541 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
542
543 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
544 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
545 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
546 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
547 descrip.mms.tmpl.
548
549 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
550 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
551 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
552 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
553 libraries" in INSTALL.
554
555 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
556 [Richard Levitte]
557
558 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
559 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
560 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
561 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
562 [Matt Caswell]
563
564 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
565 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
566
567 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
568 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
569 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
570 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
571 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
572 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
573 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
574 have been adapted accordingly.
575 [Richard Levitte]
576
577 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
578 the leading 0-byte.
579 [Emilia Käsper]
580
581 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
582 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
583 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
584 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
585 [Emilia Käsper]
586
587 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
588 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
589 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
590 'unsigned char*'.
591 [Emilia Käsper]
592
593 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
594 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
595 [Emilia Käsper]
596
597 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
598 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
599 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
600 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
601 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
602 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
603 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
604
605 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
606 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
607
608 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
609 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
610 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
611 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
612 Text::Template.
613
614 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
615 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
616 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
617 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
618 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
619 %target).
620 [Richard Levitte]
621
622 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
623 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
624 straightforward and less interdependent.
625
626 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
627 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
628 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
629
630 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
631 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
632 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
633 installed.
634 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
635 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
636 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
637 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
638
639 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
640 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
641 [Richard Levitte]
642
643 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
644 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
645 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
646 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
647 is present).
648 [Matt Caswell]
649
650 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
651 configuring.
652 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
653
654 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
655 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
656 before trying to build now.*
657 [Rich Salz]
658
659 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
660 has changed.
661 [Rich Salz]
662
663 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
664
665 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
666 the application's responsibility. The application provides
667 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
668 used to authenticate the peer.
669
670 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
671 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
672 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
673 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
674 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
675 [Viktor Dukhovni]
676
677 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
678 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
679 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
680 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
681 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
682 or the 1.1.0 releases.
683
684 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
685 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
686 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
687 support for the deprecated features from the library and
688 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
689 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
690 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
691 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
692 version.
693
694 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
695 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
696 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
697 compile with later releases.
698
699 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
700 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
701 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
702 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
703 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
704 [Viktor Dukhovni]
705
706 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
707 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
708 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
709 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
710 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
711 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
712 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
713 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
714 [Kurt Roeckx]
715
716 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
717 [Andy Polyakov]
718
719 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
720 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
721 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
722 ECDSA_SIG format.
723
724 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
725 include the ec.h header file instead.
726 [Steve Henson]
727
728 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
729 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
730 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
731 [Kurt Roeckx]
732
733 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
734 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
735 were added:
736
737 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
738 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
739
740 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
741 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
742 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
743
744 Additional changes:
745 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
746 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
747 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
748 an already created structure.
749 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
750 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
751 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
752 for deprecated builds.
753 [Richard Levitte]
754
755 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
756 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
757 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
758 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
759 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
760 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
761 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
762 [Matt Caswell]
763
764 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
765 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
766 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
767 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
768 [Kurt Roeckx]
769
770 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
771 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
772 [Kurt Roeckx]
773
774 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
775 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
776 [Kurt Roeckx]
777
778 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
779 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
780 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
781 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
782 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
783 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
784 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
785 also been removed.
786 [Matt Caswell]
787
788 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
789 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
790 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
791 [Rich Salz]
792
793 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
794 [Rich Salz]
795
796 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
797 sureware and ubsec.
798 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
799
800 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
801
802 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
803 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
804
805 FOO *x;
806
807 it must be:
808
809 FOO x;
810
811 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
812 set a mandatory field to NULL.
813
814 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
815 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
816 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
817 SEQUENCE OF.
818 [Steve Henson]
819
820 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
821 [Emilia Käsper]
822
823 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
824 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
825 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
826 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
827 [Matt Caswell]
828
829 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
830 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
831 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
832 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
833 [Emilia Käsper]
834
835 *) Fix no-stdio build.
836 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
837 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
838
839 *) New testing framework
840 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
841 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
842 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
843 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
844 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
845 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
846
847 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
848
849 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
850 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
851
852 [Richard Levitte]
853
854 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
855 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
856 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
857 and others were changed. All are now documented.
858 [Rich Salz]
859
860 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
861 return an error
862 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
863
864 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
865 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
866
867 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
868 original RSA_PSK patch.
869 [Steve Henson]
870
871 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
872 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
873 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
874 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
875 [Matt Caswell]
876
877 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
878 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
879 [Richard Levitte]
880
881 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
882 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
883 hasn't been working properly for a while.
884 [Emilia Käsper]
885
886 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
887 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
888 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
889 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
890 transferred.
891 [Matt Caswell]
892
893 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
894 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
895 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
896 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
897 [Matt Caswell]
898
899 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
900 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
901 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
902 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
903 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
904 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
905 [Matt Caswell]
906
907 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
908 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
909 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
910 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
911 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
912 header file has been removed.
913 [Matt Caswell]
914
915 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
916 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
917 [Matt Caswell]
918
919 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
920 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
921 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
922
923 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
924 Added a test.
925 [Rich Salz]
926
927 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
928 [Rich Salz]
929
930 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
931 sha256
932 [Rich Salz]
933
934 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
935 [Matt Caswell]
936
937 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
938 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
939 initial patch which was a great help during development.
940 [Steve Henson]
941
942 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
943 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
944 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
945 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
946 [Matt Caswell]
947
948 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
949 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
950 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
951 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
952 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
953 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
954 [Matt Caswell]
955
956 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
957 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
958 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
959 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
960 [Matt Caswell]
961
962 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
963 compatible client hello.
964 [Kurt Roeckx]
965
966 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
967 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
968 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
969
970 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
971 [Rich Salz]
972
973 *) Removed old DES API.
974 [Rich Salz]
975
976 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
977 Sony NEWS4
978 BEOS and BEOS_R5
979 NeXT
980 SUNOS
981 MPE/iX
982 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
983 DGUX
984 NCR
985 Tandem
986 Cray
987 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
988 [Rich Salz]
989
990 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
991 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
992 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
993 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
994 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
995 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
996 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
997 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
998 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
999 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1000 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1001 [Rich Salz]
1002
1003 *) Cleaned up dead code
1004 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1005 [Rich Salz]
1006
1007 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1008 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1009 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1010 [Rich Salz]
1011
1012 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1013 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1014 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1015 [Rich Salz]
1016
1017 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1018 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1019 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1020
1021 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1022 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1023 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1024
1025 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1026 compilation flags.
1027 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1028
1029 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1030 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1031 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1032
1033 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1034 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1035
1036 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1037 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1038 server.
1039
1040 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1041 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1042 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1043 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1044
1045 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1046 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1047 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1048 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1049
1050 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1051 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1052 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1053
1054 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1055 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1056 [Steve Henson]
1057
1058 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1059
1060 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1061 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1062
1063 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1064 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1065
1066 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1067 effect.
1068
1069 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1070
1071 [Steve Henson]
1072
1073 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1074 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1075 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1076 algorithms and include tests cases.
1077 [Steve Henson]
1078
1079 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1080 enveloped data.
1081 [Steve Henson]
1082
1083 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1084 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1085 [Steve Henson]
1086
1087 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1088 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1089
1090 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1091 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1092 [Steve Henson]
1093
1094 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1095 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1096 failures.
1097 [Steve Henson]
1098
1099 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1100 sign or verify all in one operation.
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1104 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1105 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1106 [Steve Henson]
1107
1108 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1109 [Steve Henson]
1110
1111 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1112 [Steve Henson]
1113
1114 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1115 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1116 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1117 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1118 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1119 [Steve Henson]
1120
1121 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1122 based on NID.
1123 [Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1126 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1127 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1131 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1132
1133 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1134 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1135 [Steve Henson]
1136
1137 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1138 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1139 [Steve Henson]
1140
1141 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1142 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1143 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1144 [Steve Henson]
1145
1146 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1147 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1148 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1149 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1150 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1151 requested amount of entropy.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1155 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1156 [Steve Henson]
1157
1158 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1159 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1160 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1161 support.
1162 [Steve Henson]
1163
1164 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1165 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1166 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1167 [Steve Henson]
1168
1169 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1170 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1171 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1172 will never use XTS mode.
1173 [Steve Henson]
1174
1175 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1176 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1177 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1178 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1179 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1180 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1184 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1185 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1186 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1187 [Steve Henson]
1188
1189 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1190 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1191 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1192 [Steve Henson]
1193
1194 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1198 [Steve Henson]
1199
1200 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1201 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1205 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1206 [Steve Henson]
1207
1208 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1209 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1210 [Steve Henson]
1211
1212 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1213 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1214 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1215 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1216 and rename any affected symbols.
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1220 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1221 [Steve Henson]
1222
1223 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1224 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1225 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1226 [Steve Henson]
1227
1228 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1229 [Steve Henson]
1230
1231 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1232 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1233 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1234 [Steve Henson]
1235
1236 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1237 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1238 [Steve Henson]
1239
1240 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1241 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1242 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1243 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1244 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1245 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1246 set before the key.
1247 [Steve Henson]
1248
1249 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1250 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1251 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1252 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1253 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1254 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1255 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1256 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1257 [Steve Henson]
1258
1259 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1260 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1261 [Steve Henson]
1262
1263 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1264
1265 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1266 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1267
1268 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1269 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1270 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1271 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1272 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1273 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1274
1275 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1276 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1277 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1278 security.
1279 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1280
1281 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1282 parameters by name.
1283 [Steve Henson]
1284
1285 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1286 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1287 [Steve Henson]
1288
1289 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1290 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1291 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1295 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1296 multi-process servers.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1300 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1301 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1302 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1303 RAND_METHOD structure.
1304 [Steve Henson]
1305
1306 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1307 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1308 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1309 whose return value is often ignored.
1310 [Steve Henson]
1311
1312 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1313 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1314 validated when establishing a connection.

1317 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1318
1319 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1320
1321 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1322 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1323 AES-NI.
1324
1325 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1326 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1327 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1328 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1329 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1330 bytes.
1331
1332 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1333 (CVE-2016-2107)
1334 [Kurt Roeckx]
1335
1336 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1337
1338 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1339 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1340 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1341 corruption.
1342
1343 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1344 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1345 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1346 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1347 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1348 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1349
1350 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1351 (CVE-2016-2105)
1352 [Matt Caswell]
1353
1354 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1355
1356 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1357 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1358 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1359 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1360 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1361 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1362 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1363 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1364 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1365 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1366 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1367 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1368 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1369 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1370 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1371 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1372
1373 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1374 (CVE-2016-2106)
1375 [Matt Caswell]
1376
1377 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1378
1379 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1380 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1381 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1382
1383 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1384 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1385 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1386 applications are not affected.
1387
1388 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1389 (CVE-2016-2109)
1390 [Stephen Henson]
1391
1392 *) EBCDIC overread
1393
1394 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1395 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1396 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1397
1398 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1399 (CVE-2016-2176)
1400 [Matt Caswell]
1401
1402 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1403 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1404 [Todd Short]
1405
1406 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1407 default.
1408 [Kurt Roeckx]
1409
1410 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1411 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1412 [Kurt Roeckx]
1413
1414 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1415
1416 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1417 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1418 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1419 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1420
1421 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1422 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1423 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1424 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1425 will need to explicitly call either of:
1426
1427 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1428 or
1429 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1430
1431 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1432 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1433 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1434 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1435 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1436 (CVE-2016-0800)
1437 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1438
1439 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1440
1441 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1442 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1443 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1444 considered rare.
1445
1446 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1447 libFuzzer.
1448 (CVE-2016-0705)
1449 [Stephen Henson]
1450
1451 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1452
1453 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1454
1455 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1456 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1457 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1458 is configured.
1459
1460 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1461 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1462 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1463 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1464 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1465 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1466 that of a valid user.
1467 (CVE-2016-0798)
1468 [Emilia Käsper]
1469
1470 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1471
1472 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1473 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1474 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1475 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1476 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1477 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1478 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1479 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1480 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1481 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1482 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1483
1484 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1485 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1486 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1487 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1488 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1489
1490 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1491 (CVE-2016-0797)
1492 [Matt Caswell]
1493
1494 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1495
1496 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1497 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1498 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1499
1500 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1501 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1502 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1503 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1504 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1505 also occur.
1506
1507 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1508 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1509 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1510 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1511 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1512 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1513 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1514 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1515 as command line arguments.
1516
1517 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1518 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1519 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1522 (CVE-2016-0799)
1523 [Matt Caswell]
1524
1525 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1526
1527 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1528 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1529 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1530 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1531 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1532
1533 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1534 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1535 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1536 http://cachebleed.info.

1538 [Andy Polyakov]
1539
1540 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1541 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1542 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1543 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1545
1546 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1547 *) DH small subgroups
1548
1549 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1550 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1551 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1552 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1553 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1554 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1555 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1556 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1557 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1558 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1559
1560 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1561 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1562 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1563 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1564 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1565
1566 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1567 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1568 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1569 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1570
1571 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1572 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1573
1574 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1575 (CVE-2016-0701)
1576 [Matt Caswell]
1577
1578 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1579
1580 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1581 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1582 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1583 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1584
1585 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram

1591
1592 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1593
1594 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1595 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1596 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1597 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1598 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1599 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1600 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1601 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1602 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1603 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1604 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1605 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1608 (CVE-2015-3193)
1609 [Andy Polyakov]
1610
1611 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1612
1613 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1614 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1615 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1616 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1617 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1618 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1619 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1620 authentication.
1621
1622 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1623 (CVE-2015-3194)
1624 [Stephen Henson]
1625
1626 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1627
1628 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1629 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1630 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1631 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1632
1633 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1634 libFuzzer.
1635 (CVE-2015-3195)
1636 [Stephen Henson]
1637
1638 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1639 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1640 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1641 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1648 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1649
1650 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1651
1652 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1653 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1654 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1655 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1656 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1657 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1658
1659 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1660 (Google/BoringSSL).

1662
1663 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]

1666 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1667 restored.

1669
1670 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1671
1672 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1673
1674 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1675 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1676 field.
1677
1678 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1679 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1680 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1681 client authentication enabled.
1682
1683 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1684 (CVE-2015-1788)
1685 [Andy Polyakov]
1686
1687 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1688
1689 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1690 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1691 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1692 time string.
1693
1694 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1695 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1696 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1697 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1698 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1699 callbacks.

1701 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1702 independently by Hanno Böck.
1703 (CVE-2015-1789)
1704 [Emilia Käsper]
1705
1706 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1707
1708 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1709 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1710 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1711
1712 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1713 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1714 servers are not affected.

1716 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1717 (CVE-2015-1790)
1718 [Emilia Käsper]
1719
1720 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1721
1722 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1723 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1724 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1725 the CMS code.
1726 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.

1730 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1731
1732 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1733 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1734 a double free of the ticket data.

1744
1745 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1746
1747 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1748 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1749 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1750
1751 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1752 University.
1753 (CVE-2015-0291)
1754 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1755
1756 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1757
1758 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1759 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1760 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1761 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1762 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1763 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1764 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1765 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1766
1767 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1768 (CVE-2015-0290)
1769 [Matt Caswell]
1770
1771 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1772
1773 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1774 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1775 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1776 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1777 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1778 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1779 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1780 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1781 server.
1782
1783 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1784 (CVE-2015-0207)
1785 [Matt Caswell]
1786
1787 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1788
1789 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1790 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1791 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1792 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1793 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1794 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1795 (CVE-2015-0286)
1796 [Stephen Henson]
1797
1798 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1799
1800 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1801 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1802 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1803 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1804 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1805 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1806 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1807
1808 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1809 (CVE-2015-0208)
1810 [Stephen Henson]
1811
1812 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1813
1814 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1815 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1816 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1817
1818 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1819 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1820 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1821 not affected.
1822 (CVE-2015-0287)
1823 [Stephen Henson]
1824
1825 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1826
1827 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1828 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1829 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1830
1831 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1832 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1833 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1834
1835 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1836 (CVE-2015-0289)
1837 [Emilia Käsper]
1838
1839 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1840
1841 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1842 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1843 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1844
1845 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1846 (OpenSSL development team).
1847 (CVE-2015-0293)
1848 [Emilia Käsper]
1849
1850 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1851
1852 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1853 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1854 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1855 (CVE-2015-1787)
1856 [Matt Caswell]
1857
1858 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1859
1860 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1861 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1862 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1863 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1864 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1865 SSL_client_methodv23)
1866 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1867 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1868
1869 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1870 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1871 output may be predictable.
1872
1873 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1874 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1875
1876 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1877 (CVE-2015-0285)
1878 [Matt Caswell]
1879
1880 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1881
1882 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1883 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1884 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1885 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1886 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1887 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1888
1889 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1890 commit 517073cd4b.

1893
1894 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1895
1896 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1897 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1898

1905
1906 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1907
1908 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1909 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1910 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1911 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1912 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1913 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1914 [Andy Polyakov]
1915
1916 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1917 (other platforms pending).
1918 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]

1920 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1921 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1922 [Rob Stradling]
1923
1924 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1925 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1926 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1927 [Bodo Moeller]
1928
1929 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1930 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1931 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1932 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1933 [Andy Polyakov]
1934
1935 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1936 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1937
1938 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1939 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1940 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1941 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1942 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1943
1944 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1945 [Andy Polyakov]
1946
1947 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1948 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1949 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1950 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1951
1952 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1953 RSAZ.
1954 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1955
1956 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1957 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1958 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1959 for TLS encrypt.
1960
1961 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1962 [Andy Polyakov]
1963
1964 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1965 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1966 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1967 [Steve Henson]
1968
1969 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1970 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1971 [Steve Henson]
1972
1973 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1974 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1975 [Steve Henson]
1976
1977 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1978 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1979 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1980 algorithms and include tests cases.
1981 [Steve Henson]
1982
1983 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1984 structure.
1985 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1986
1987 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1988 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1989 [Steve Henson]
1990
1991 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1992 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1993 summary of the connection parameters.
1994 [Steve Henson]
1995
1996 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1997 of connection parameters.
1998 [Steve Henson]
1999
2000 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2001 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2002
2003 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2004 from CRLDP extension in certificates.

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

12388 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12389 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12390 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12391 summer 1998.

12405 [Eric A. Young]
12406
12407 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:

12432 [Eric A. Young]
12433
12434 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12435 [Eric A. Young]
12436
12437 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12438 [Eric A. Young]
12439
12440 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12441 [Eric A. Young]
12442
12443 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12444 [Eric A. Young]
12445

12447 [Eric A. Young]
12448
12449 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12450 [Eric A. Young]
12451
12452 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12453 [Eric A. Young]
12454
12455 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.

12466
12467 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12468 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12469 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12470 [Eric A. Young]
12471
12472 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12473 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12474 [Eric A. Young]
