4
5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
8 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
9 enabled with '--debug' builds.
10 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
11
12 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
13 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
14 these have been added.
15 [Matt Caswell]
16
17 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
18 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
19 functions for managing these have been added.
20 [Richard Levitte]
21
22 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
23 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
24 these have been added.
25 [Matt Caswell]
26
27 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
28 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
29 have been added.
30 [Matt Caswell]
31
32 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
33 [Matt Caswell]
34
35 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
36 [Richard Levitte]
37
38 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
39 it is always safe to #include a header now.
40 [Rich Salz]
41
42 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
43 [Richard Levitte]
44
45 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
46 [Rich Salz]
47
48 *) Add support for HKDF.
49 [Alessandro Ghedini]
50
51 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
52 [Bill Cox]
53
54 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
55 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
56 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
57 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
58 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
59 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
60 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
61 [Matt Caswell]
62
63 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
64 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
65 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
66 [Catriona Lucey]
67
68 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
69 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
70 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
71 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
72 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
73 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
74 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
75
76 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
77 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
78 [Todd Short]
79
80 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
81 [Todd Short]
82
83 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
84 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
85 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
86 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
87 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
88 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
89 default cipherlist.
90 [Emilia Käsper]
91
92 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
93 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
94 [Rich Salz]
95
96 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
97 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
98 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
99 [Matt Caswell]
100
101 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
102 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
103 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
104 implemented by other servers.
105 [Emilia Käsper]
106
107 *) Add X25519 support.
108 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
109 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
110 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
111 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
112 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
113 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
114 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
115 and uses X25519(29).
116
117 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
118 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
119 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
120 are NOT supported.
121 [Steve Henson]
122
123 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
124 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
125 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
126 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
127 seed, even if the seed is configured.
128
129 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
130 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
131 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
132 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
133 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
134 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
135 that of a valid user.
136 [Emilia Käsper]
137
138 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
139 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
140 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
141 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
142
143 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
144 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
145
146 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
147 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
148 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
149 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
150
151 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
152 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
153 irrelevant.
154 [Richard Levitte]
155
156 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
157 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
158 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
159 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
160 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
161 of how OpenSSL was configured.
162
163 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
164 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
165 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
166 [Richard Levitte]
167
168 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
169 [Rich Salz]
170
171 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
172 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
173 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
174 removed.
175 [Richard Levitte]
176
177 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
178 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
179 old #define's might need to be updated.
180 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
181
182 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
183 [Rich Salz]
184
185 *) New "unified" build system
186
187 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
188 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
189
190 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
191 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
192 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
193
194 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
195 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
196 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
197 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
198 descrip.mms.tmpl.
199
200 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
201 [Richard Levitte]
202
203 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
204 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
205 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
206 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
207 [Matt Caswell]
208
209 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
210 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
211
212 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
213 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
214 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
215 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
216 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
217 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
218 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
219 have been adapted accordingly.
220 [Richard Levitte]
221
222 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
223 the leading 0-byte.
224 [Emilia Käsper]
225
226 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
227 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
228 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
229 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
230 [Emilia Käsper]
231
232 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
233 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
234 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
235 'unsigned char*'.
236 [Emilia Käsper]
237
238 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
239 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
240 [Emilia Käsper]
241
242 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
243 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
244 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
245 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
246 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
247 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
248 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
249
250 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
251 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
252
253 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
254 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
255 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
256 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
257 Text::Template.
258
259 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
260 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
261 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
262 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
263 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
264 %target).
265 [Richard Levitte]
266
267 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
268 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
269 straightforward and less interdependent.
270
271 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
272 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
273 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
274
275 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
276 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
277 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
278 installed.
279 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
280 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
281 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
282 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
283
284 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
285 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
286 [Richard Levitte]
287
288 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
289 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
290 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
291 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
292 is present).
293 [Matt Caswell]
294
295 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
296 configuring.
297 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
298
299 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
300 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
301 before trying to build now.*
302 [Rich Salz]
303
304 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
305 has changed.
306 [Rich Salz]
307
308 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
309
310 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
311 the application's responsibility. The application provides
312 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
313 used to authenticate the peer.
314
315 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
316 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
317 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
318 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
319 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
320 [Viktor Dukhovni]
321
322 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
323 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
324 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
325 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
326 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
327 or the 1.1.0 releases.
328
329 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
330 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
331 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
332 support for the deprecated features from the library and
333 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
334 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
335 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
336 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
337 version.
338
339 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
340 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
341 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
342 compile with later releases.
343
344 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
345 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
346 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
347 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
348 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
349 [Viktor Dukhovni]
350
351 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
352 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
353 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
354 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
355 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
356 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
357 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
358 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
359 [Kurt Roeckx]
360
361 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
362 [Andy Polyakov]
363
364 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
365 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
366 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
367 ECDSA_SIG format.
368
369 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
370 include the ec.h header file instead.
371 [Steve Henson]
372
373 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
374 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
375 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
376 [Kurt Roeckx]
377
378 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
379 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
380 were added:
381
382 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
383 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
384
385 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
386 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
387 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
388
389 Additional changes:
390 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
391 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
392 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
393 an already created structure.
394 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
395 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
396 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
397 for deprecated builds.
398 [Richard Levitte]
399
400 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
401 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
402 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
403 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
404 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
405 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
406 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
407 [Matt Caswell]
408
409 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
410 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
411 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
412 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
413 [Kurt Roeckx]
414
415 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
416 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
417 [Kurt Roeckx]
418
419 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
420 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
421 [Kurt Roeckx]
422
423 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
424 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
425 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
426 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
427 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
428 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
429 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
430 also been removed.
431 [Matt Caswell]
432
433 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
434 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
435 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
436 [Rich Salz]
437
438 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
439 [Rich Salz]
440
441 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
442 sureware and ubsec.
443 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
444
445 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
446
447 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
448 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
449
450 FOO *x;
451
452 it must be:
453
454 FOO x;
455
456 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
457 set a mandatory field to NULL.
458
459 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
460 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
461 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
462 SEQUENCE OF.
463 [Steve Henson]
464
465 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
466 [Emilia Käsper]
467
468 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
469 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
470 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
471 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
472 [Matt Caswell]
473
474 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
475 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
476 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
477 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
478 [Emilia Käsper]
479
480 *) Fix no-stdio build.
481 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
482 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
483
484 *) New testing framework
485 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
486 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
487 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
488 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
489 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
490 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
491
492 For documentation on our testing modules, do:

495 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
496
497 [Richard Levitte]
498
499 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
500 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
501 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
502 and others were changed. All are now documented.
503 [Rich Salz]
504
505 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
506 return an error
507 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
508
509 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
510 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
511
512 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
513 original RSA_PSK patch.
514 [Steve Henson]
515
516 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
517 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
518 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
519 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
520 [Matt Caswell]
521
522 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
523 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
524 [Richard Levitte]
525
526 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
527 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
528 hasn't been working properly for a while.
529 [Emilia Käsper]
530
531 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
532 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
533 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
534 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
535 transferred.
536 [Matt Caswell]
537
538 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
539 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
540 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
541 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
542 [Matt Caswell]
543
544 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
545 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
546 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
547 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
548 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
549 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
550 [Matt Caswell]
551
552 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
553 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
554 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
555 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
556 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
557 header file has been removed.
558 [Matt Caswell]
559
560 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
561 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
562 [Matt Caswell]
563
564 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
565 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
566 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
567
568 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
569 Added a test.
570 [Rich Salz]
571
572 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
573 [Rich Salz]
574
575 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
576 sha256
577 [Rich Salz]
578
579 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
580 [Matt Caswell]
581
582 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
583 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
584 initial patch which was a great help during development.
585 [Steve Henson]
586
587 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
588 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
589 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
590 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
591 [Matt Caswell]
592
593 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
594 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
595 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
596 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
597 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
598 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
599 [Matt Caswell]
600
601 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
602 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
603 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
604 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
605 [Matt Caswell]
606
607 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
608 compatible client hello.
609 [Kurt Roeckx]
610
611 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
612 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
613 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
614
615 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
616 [Rich Salz]
617
618 *) Removed old DES API.
619 [Rich Salz]
620
621 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
622 Sony NEWS4
623 BEOS and BEOS_R5
624 NeXT
625 SUNOS
626 MPE/iX
627 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
628 DGUX
629 NCR
630 Tandem
631 Cray
632 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
633 [Rich Salz]
634
635 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
636 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
637 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
638 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
639 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
640 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
641 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
642 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
643 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
644 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
645 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
646 [Rich Salz]
647
648 *) Cleaned up dead code
649 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
650 [Rich Salz]
651
652 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
653 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
654 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
655 [Rich Salz]
656
657 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
658 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
659 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
660 [Rich Salz]
661
662 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
663 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
664 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
665
666 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
667 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
668 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
669
670 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
671 compilation flags.
672 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
673
674 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
675 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
676 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
677
678 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
679 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
680
681 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
682 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
683 server.
684
685 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
686 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
687 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
688 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
689
690 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
691 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
692 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
693 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
694
695 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
696 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
697 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
698
699 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
700 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
701 [Steve Henson]
702
703 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
704
705 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
706 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
707
708 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
709 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
710
711 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
712 effect.
713
714 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
715
716 [Steve Henson]
717
718 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
719 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
720 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
721 algorithms and include tests cases.
722 [Steve Henson]
723
724 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
725 enveloped data.
726 [Steve Henson]
727
728 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
729 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
730 [Steve Henson]
731
732 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
733 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
734
735 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
736 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
740 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
741 failures.
742 [Steve Henson]
743
744 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
745 sign or verify all in one operation.
746 [Steve Henson]
747
748 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
749 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
750 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
751 [Steve Henson]
752
753 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
754 [Steve Henson]
755
756 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
757 [Steve Henson]
758
759 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
760 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
761 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
762 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
763 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
764 [Steve Henson]
765
766 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
767 based on NID.
768 [Steve Henson]
769
770 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
771 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
772 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
773 [Steve Henson]
774
775 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
776 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
777 [Steve Henson]
778
779 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
780 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
781
782 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
783 POST to handle HMAC cases.
784 [Steve Henson]
785
786 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
787 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
788 [Steve Henson]
789
790 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
791 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
792 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
793 [Steve Henson]
794
795 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
796 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
797 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
798 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
799 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
800 requested amount of entropy.
801 [Steve Henson]
802
803 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
804 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
808 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
809 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
810 support.
811 [Steve Henson]
812
813 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
814 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
815 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
816 [Steve Henson]
817
818 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
819 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
820 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
821 will never use XTS mode.
822 [Steve Henson]
823
824 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
825 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
826 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
827 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
828 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
829 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
830 [Steve Henson]
831
832 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
833 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
834 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
835 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
836 [Steve Henson]
837
838 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
839 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
840 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
841 [Steve Henson]
842
843 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
844 [Steve Henson]
845
846 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
847 [Steve Henson]
848
849 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
850 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
851 [Steve Henson]
852
853 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
854 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
855 [Steve Henson]
856
857 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
858 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
859 [Steve Henson]
860
861 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
862 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
863 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
864 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
865 and rename any affected symbols.
866 [Steve Henson]
867
868 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
869 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
870 [Steve Henson]
871
872 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
873 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
874 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
875 [Steve Henson]
876
877 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
878 [Steve Henson]
879
880 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
881 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
882 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
883 [Steve Henson]
884
885 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
886 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
887 [Steve Henson]
888
889 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
890 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
891 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
892 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
893 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
894 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
895 set before the key.
896 [Steve Henson]
897
898 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
899 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
900 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
901 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
902 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
903 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
904 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
905 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
906 [Steve Henson]
907
908 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
909 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
910 [Steve Henson]
911
912 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
913
914 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
915 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
916
917 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
918 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
919 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
920 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
921 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
922 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
923
924 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
925 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
926 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
927 security.
928 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
929
930 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
931 parameters by name.
932 [Steve Henson]
933
934 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
935 Add CMAC pkey methods.
936 [Steve Henson]
937
938 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
939 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
940 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
941 [Steve Henson]
942
943 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
944 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
945 multi-process servers.
946 [Steve Henson]
947
948 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
949 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
950 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
951 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
952 RAND_METHOD structure.
953 [Steve Henson]
954
955 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
956 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
957 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
958 whose return value is often ignored.
959 [Steve Henson]
960
961 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
962 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
963 validated when establishing a connection.
964 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
965
966 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
967
968 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
969 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
970 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
971 [Viktor Dukhovni]
972
973 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
974 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
975 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
976 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
977 will need to explicitly call either of:
978
979 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
980 or
981 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
982
983 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
984 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
985 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
986 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
987 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
988 (CVE-2016-0800)
989 [Viktor Dukhovni]
990
991 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
992
993 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
994 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
995 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
996 considered rare.
997
998 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
999 libFuzzer.
1000 (CVE-2016-0705)
1001 [Stephen Henson]
1002
1003 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1004
1005 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1006
1007 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1008 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1009 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1010 is configured.
1011
1012 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1013 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1014 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1015 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1016 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1017 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1018 that of a valid user.
1019 (CVE-2016-0798)
1020 [Emilia Käsper]
1021
1022 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1023
1024 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1025 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1026 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1027 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1028 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1029 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1030 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1031 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1032 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1033 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1034 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1035
1036 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1037 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1038 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1039 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1040 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1043 (CVE-2016-0797)
1044 [Matt Caswell]
1045
1046 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1047
1048 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1049 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1050 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1051
1052 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1053 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1054 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1055 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1056 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1057 also occur.
1058
1059 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1060 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1061 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1062 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1063 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1064 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1065 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1066 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1067 as command line arguments.
1068
1069 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1070 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1071 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1072
1073 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1074 (CVE-2016-0799)
1075 [Matt Caswell]
1076
1077 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1078
1079 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1080 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1081 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1082 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1083 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1084
1085 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1086 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1087 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1088 http://cachebleed.info.

1091
1092 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1093 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1094 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1095 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1097
1098 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1099 *) DH small subgroups
1100
1101 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1102 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1103 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1104 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1105 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1106 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1107 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1108 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1109 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1110 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1111
1112 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1113 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1114 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1115 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1116 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1117
1118 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1119 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1120 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1121 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1122
1123 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1124 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1125
1126 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1127 (CVE-2016-0701)
1128 [Matt Caswell]
1129
1130 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1131
1132 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1133 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1134 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1135 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1136
1137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram

1143
1144 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1145
1146 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1147 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1148 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1149 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1150 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1151 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1152 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1153 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1154 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1155 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1156 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1157 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1160 (CVE-2015-3193)
1161 [Andy Polyakov]
1162
1163 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1164
1165 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1166 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1167 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1168 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1169 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1170 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1171 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1172 authentication.
1173
1174 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).

1176 [Stephen Henson]
1177
1178 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1179
1180 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1181 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1182 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1183 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1184
1185 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1186 libFuzzer.
1187 (CVE-2015-3195)
1188 [Stephen Henson]
1189
1190 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1191 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,

1201
1202 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1203
1204 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1205 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1206 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1207 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1208 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1209 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1210
1211 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1212 (Google/BoringSSL).

1223
1224 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1225
1226 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1227 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1228 field.
1229
1230 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1231 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1232 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1233 client authentication enabled.
1234
1235 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1236 (CVE-2015-1788)
1237 [Andy Polyakov]
1238
1239 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1240
1241 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1242 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1243 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1244 time string.
1245
1246 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1247 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1248 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1249 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1250 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1251 callbacks.

1253 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1254 independently by Hanno Böck.

1257
1258 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1259
1260 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1261 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1262 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1263
1264 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1265 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1266 servers are not affected.

1270 [Emilia Käsper]
1271
1272 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1273
1274 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1275 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1276 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1277 the CMS code.
1278 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.

1282 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1283
1284 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1285 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1286 a double free of the ticket data.

1297 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1298
1299 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1300 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1301 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1302
1303 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1304 University.
1305 (CVE-2015-0291)
1306 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1307
1308 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1309
1310 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1311 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1312 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1313 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1314 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1315 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1316 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1317 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1318
1319 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1320 (CVE-2015-0290)
1321 [Matt Caswell]
1322
1323 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1324
1325 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1326 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1327 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1328 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1329 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1330 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1331 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1332 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1333 server.

1335 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1336 (CVE-2015-0207)
1337 [Matt Caswell]
1338
1339 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1340
1341 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1342 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1343 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1344 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1345 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1346 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1347 (CVE-2015-0286)
1348 [Stephen Henson]
1349
1350 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1351
1352 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1353 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1354 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1355 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1356 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1357 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1358 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1359
1360 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1361 (CVE-2015-0208)
1362 [Stephen Henson]
1363
1364 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1365
1366 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1367 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1368 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1369
1370 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1371 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1372 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1373 not affected.
1374 (CVE-2015-0287)
1375 [Stephen Henson]
1376
1377 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1378
1379 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1380 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1381 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1382
1383 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1384 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1385 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1386
1387 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).

1389 [Emilia Käsper]
1390
1391 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1392
1393 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1394 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1395 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1396
1397 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1398 (OpenSSL development team).
1399 (CVE-2015-0293)
1400 [Emilia Käsper]
1401
1402 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1403
1404 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1405 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1406 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1407 (CVE-2015-1787)
1408 [Matt Caswell]
1409
1410 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1411
1412 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1413 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1414 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1415 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1416 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1417 SSL_client_methodv23)
1418 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1419 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1420
1421 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1422 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1423 output may be predictable.
1424
1425 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1426 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1427
1428 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1431
1432 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1433
1434 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1435 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1436 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1437 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1438 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1439 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1440
1441 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their

1459
1460 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1461 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1462 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1463 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1464 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1465 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.

1478 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1479 [Bodo Moeller]
1480
1481 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1482 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1483 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1484 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1485 [Andy Polyakov]
1486
1487 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1488 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1489
1490 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1491 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1492 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1493 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.

1497 [Andy Polyakov]
1498
1499 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1500 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,

1507
1508 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1509 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1510 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1511 for TLS encrypt.
1512
1513 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1514 [Andy Polyakov]
1515
1516 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1517 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1518 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1519 [Steve Henson]
1520
1521 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1522 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.

1529 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1530 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1531 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1532 algorithms and include tests cases.
1533 [Steve Henson]
1534
1535 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1536 structure.
1537 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1538
1539 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1540 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1541 [Steve Henson]
1542
1543 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1544 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1545 summary of the connection parameters.
1546 [Steve Henson]
1547
1548 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1549 of connection parameters.
1550 [Steve Henson]
1551
1552 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1553 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1554
1555 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1556 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1557 [Steve Henson]
1558
1559 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1560 [Steve Henson]
1561
1562 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1563 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1564 [Steve Henson]
1565
1566 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1567 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1568 [Steve Henson]
1569
1570 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1571 certificates.
1572 [Steve Henson]
1573
1574 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1575 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1576 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1577 [Steve Henson]
1578
1579 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1580 [Steve Henson]
1581
1582 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1583 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1584 [Steve Henson]
1585
1586 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1587 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1588 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1589 tracing.
1590 [Steve Henson]
1591
1592 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1593 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1594 [Steve Henson]
1595
1596 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1597 OID NID.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1601 client to OpenSSL.
1602 [Steve Henson]
1603
1604 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1605 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1606 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1607 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1608 [Steve Henson]
1609
1610 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1611 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1612 [Steve Henson]
1613
1614 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1615 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1616 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1617 comparison.
1618 [Steve Henson]
1619
1620 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1621 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1622 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1623 use the certificate.
1624 [Steve Henson]
1625
1626 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1627 [Steve Henson]
1628
1629 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1630 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1631 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1632 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1633 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1634 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1635 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1636
1637 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1638 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1639
1640 [Steve Henson]
1641
1642 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1643 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1644 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1645 [Steve Henson]
1646
1647 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1648 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1649 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1650 supported signature algorithms.
1651 [Steve Henson]
1652
1653 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1654 [Steve Henson]
1655
1656 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1657 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1658 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1659 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1660 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1661 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1662 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1663 [Steve Henson]
1664
1665 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1666 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1667 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1668 to have similar checks in it.
1669
1670 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1671 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1672 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1673 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1674 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1678 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1679 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1680 shared signature algorithms.
1681 [Steve Henson]
1682
1683 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1684 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1685 to support them.
1686 [Steve Henson]
1687
1688 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1689 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1690 it couldn't be removed.
1691 [Steve Henson]
1692
1693 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1694 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1698 functions. Add manual page.
1699 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1700
1701 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1702 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1703 a certificate.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1707 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1708
1709 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1710 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1711 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1712 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1713 utility) or reject.
1714 [Steve Henson]
1715
1716 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1717 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1718 [Steve Henson]
1719
1720 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1721 platform support for Linux and Android.
1722 [Andy Polyakov]
1723
1724 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1725 [Andy Polyakov]
1726
1727 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1728 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1729 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1730 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1731 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1732 [Steve Henson]
1733
1734 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1735 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1736 the new parameter format automatically.
1737 [Steve Henson]
1738
1739 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1740 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1741 [Steve Henson]
1742
1743 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1744 [Steve Henson]
1745
1746 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1747 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1748 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1749 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1750 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1751 [Steve Henson]
1752
1753 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1754 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1755 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1756 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1757 to set list of supported curves.
1758 [Steve Henson]
1759
1760 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1761 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1762 to print out received values.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1766 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1767 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1768 [Steve Henson]
1769
1770 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1771 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1772 [Steve Henson]
1773
1774 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1775 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1776 [Steve Henson]
1777
1778 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1779 certificates.
1780 [Steve Henson]
1781
1782 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1783 the certificate.
1784 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1785 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1786 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1787
1788 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1789
1790 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1791 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1792
1793 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1794
1795 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1796 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1797 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1798 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1799 (CVE-2014-3571)
1800 [Steve Henson]
1801
1802 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1803 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1804 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1805 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1806 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1807 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1808 (CVE-2015-0206)
1809 [Matt Caswell]
1810
1811 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1812 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1813 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1814 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1815 (CVE-2014-3569)
1816 [Kurt Roeckx]
1817
1818 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1819 ECDH ciphersuites.
1820
1821 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1822 reporting this issue.
1823 (CVE-2014-3572)
1824 [Steve Henson]
1825
1826 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1827 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1828 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1829 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1830 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1831 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1832 (CVE-2015-0204)
1833 [Steve Henson]
1834
1835 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1836 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1837 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1838 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1839 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1840 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1841 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1842 this issue.
1843 (CVE-2015-0205)
1844 [Steve Henson]
1845
1846 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1847 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1848
1849 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1850 and can vary with the CTX.
1851 [Adam Langley]
1852
1853 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1854
1855 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1856 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1857 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1858 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1859 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1860
1861 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1862
1863 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1864 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1865
1866 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1867
1868 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1869 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1870 errors for some broken certificates.
1871
1872 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1873
1874 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1875
1876 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1877 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1878
1879 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1880 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1881 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1882 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1883
1884 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1885 of the OpenSSL core team.
1886
1887 (CVE-2014-8275)
1888 [Steve Henson]
1889
1890 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1891 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1892 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1893 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1894 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1895 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1896 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1897 the OpenSSL core team.
1898 (CVE-2014-3570)
1899 [Andy Polyakov]
1900
1901 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1902 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1903 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1904 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1905 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1906
1907 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1908 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1909 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1910 [Emilia Käsper]
1911
1912 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1913 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1914 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1915 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1916 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1917
1918 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1919 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1920 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1921 [Emilia Käsper]
1922
1923 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1924
1925 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1926
1927 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1928 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1929 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1930 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1931 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1932 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1933 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1934
1935 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1936 (CVE-2014-3513)
1937 [OpenSSL team]
1938
1939 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1940
1941 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1942 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1943 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1944 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1945 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1946 attack.
1947 (CVE-2014-3567)
1948 [Steve Henson]
1949
1950 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1951
1952 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1953 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1954 configured to send them.
1955 (CVE-2014-3568)
1956 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1957
1958 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1959 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1960 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1961 (CVE-2014-3566)
1962 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1963
1964 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1965
1966 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1967 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1968 DigestInfo structures.
1969
1970 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1971
1972 [Steve Henson]
1973
1974 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1975
1976 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1977 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1978 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1979
1980 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1981 Group for discovering this issue.
1982 (CVE-2014-3512)
1983 [Steve Henson]
1984
1985 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1986 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1987 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1988 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1989 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1990
1991 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1992 researching this issue.
1993 (CVE-2014-3511)
1994 [David Benjamin]
1995
1996 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1997 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1998 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1999 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2000
2001 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2002 issue.
2003 (CVE-2014-3510)
2004 [Emilia Käsper]
2005
2006 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2007 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2008 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2009 (CVE-2014-3507)
2010 [Adam Langley]
2011
2012 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2013 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2014 Denial of Service attack.
2015 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2016 (CVE-2014-3506)
2017 [Adam Langley]
2018
2019 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2020 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2021 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2022 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2023 this issue.
2024 (CVE-2014-3505)
2025 [Adam Langley]
2026
2027 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2028 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2029 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2030
2031 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2032 issue.
2033 (CVE-2014-3509)
2034 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2035
2036 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2037 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2038 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2039 Denial of Service attack.
2040
2041 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2042 discovering and researching this issue.
2043 (CVE-2014-5139)
2044 [Steve Henson]
2045
2046 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2047 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2048 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2049 output to the attacker.
2050
2051 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2052 (CVE-2014-3508)
2053 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2054
2055 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2056 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2057 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2058 [Bodo Moeller]
2059
2060 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2061
2062 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2063 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2064 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2065
2066 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2067 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2068 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2071 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2072 in a DoS attack.
2073
2074 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2075 (CVE-2014-0221)
2076 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2077
2078 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2079 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2080 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2081 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2082
2083 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2084 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2087 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2088
2089 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2090 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2091 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2094 compilation flags.
2095 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2096
2097 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2098 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2099 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2100
2101 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2102 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2103
2104 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2105
2106 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2107 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2108 server.
2109
2110 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2111 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2112 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2113 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2114
2115 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2116 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2117 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2118 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2119
2120 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2121 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2122 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2123
2124 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2125
2126 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2127 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2128 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2129 is at least 512 bytes long.
2130
2131 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2132
2133 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2134
2135 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2136 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2137 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2138 (CVE-2013-4353)
2139
2140 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2141 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2142 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2143 [Steve Henson]
2144
2145 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2146 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2147 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2148 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2149 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2150 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2151 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2152
2153 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2154
2155 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2156 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2157 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2158
2159 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2160
2161 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2162
2163 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2164 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2165 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2166
2167 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2168 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2169 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2170 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2171 (CVE-2013-0169)
2172 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2173
2174 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2175 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2176 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2177 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2178 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2179 (CVE-2012-2686)
2180 [Adam Langley]
2181
2182 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2183 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2184 [Steve Henson]
2185
2186 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2187 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2188
2189 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2190 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2191 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2192 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2193 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2194
2195 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2199 if renegotiating.
2200 [Steve Henson]
2201
2202 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2203
2204 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2205 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2206
2207 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2208 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2209 (CVE-2012-2333)
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2213 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2214 [Steve Henson]
2215
2216 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2217 approved.
2218 [Steve Henson]
2219
2220 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2221
2222 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2223 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2224 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2225 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2226 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2227 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2228 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2229 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2230 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2231 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2232 [Steve Henson]
2233
2234 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2235 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2236 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2237 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2238 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2239 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2240 client side.
2241 [Andy Polyakov]
2242
2243 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2244
2245 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2246 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2247 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2248
2249 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2250 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2251 (CVE-2012-2110)
2252 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2253
2254 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2255 [Adam Langley]
2256
2257 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2258 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2259
2260 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2261 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2262 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2263 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2264 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2265 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2266 Most broken servers should now work.
2267 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2268 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2272 [Andy Polyakov]
2273
2274 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2275
2276 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2277 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2278 [Steve Henson]
2279
2280 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2281 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2282 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2283 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2284 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2288 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2289 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2290 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2291 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2292 [Steve Henson]
2293
2294 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2295 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2296
2297 *) Add support for SCTP.
2298 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2299
2300 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2301 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2302
2303 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2304
2305 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2306 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2307 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2308 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2309 - s390x: z196 support;
2310 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2311
2312 [Andy Polyakov]
2313
2314 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2315 (removal of unnecessary code)
2316 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2317
2318 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2319 [Eric Rescorla]
2320
2321 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2322 [Eric Rescorla]
2323
2324 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2325 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2326 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2327 by Google.
2328 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2329
2330 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2331 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2332 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2333 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2334 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2335
2336 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2337 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2338 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2339
2340 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2341 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2342 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2343
2344 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2345 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2346 implementations).
2347 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2348
2349 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2350 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2351 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2355 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2356 particular PSS.
2357 [Steve Henson]
2358
2359 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2360 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2361 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2365 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2366 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2367 the appropriate parameters.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2371 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2372 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2373 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2374 against a number of sample certificates.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2378 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2379
2380 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2381 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2382
2383 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2384 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2385 parameters r, s.
2386 [Steve Henson]
2387
2388 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2389 RFC3211.
2390 [Steve Henson]
2391
2392 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2393 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2394 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2395 password based CMS).
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Session-handling fixes:
2399 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2400 but also support Session Tickets.
2401 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2402 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2403 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2404 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2405 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2406 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2407
2408 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2409 [Bodo Moeller]
2410
2411 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2412
2413 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2414 [Andy Polyakov]
2415
2416 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2417 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2418 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2419 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2420 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2421 [Steve Henson]
2422
2423 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2424 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2425 [Steve Henson]
2426
2427 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2428 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2429 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2430 [Steve Henson]
2431
2432 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2433 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2434 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2435 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2439 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2440 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2441 [Steve Henson]
2442
2443 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2444 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2445
2446 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2447 [Steve Henson]
2448
2449 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2450 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2454 [Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2457 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2461 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2465 [Steve Henson]
2466
2467 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2468 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2469 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2470 [Steve Henson]
2471
2472 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2473 [Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2479 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2480 [Steve Henson]
2481
2482 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2483 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2484 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2491 and enable MD5.
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2495 FIPS modules versions.
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2499 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2500 until after the certificate request message is received.
2501 [Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2504 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2505 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2506 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2507 [Steve Henson]
2508
2509 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2510 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2511 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2512 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2513 [Steve Henson]
2514
2515 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2516 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2517 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2518 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2519 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2520 and version checking.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2524 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2525 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2526 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Add SRP support.
2530 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2531
2532 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2533 [Steve Henson]
2534
2535 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2536 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2537 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2538
2539 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2540 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2541 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2542 [Steve Henson]
2543
2544 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2545 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2546
2547 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2548 a few changes are required:
2549
2550 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2551 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2552 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2553 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2554 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2555 [Steve Henson]
2556
2557 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2558
2559 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2560 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2561 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2562 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2563 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2564 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2565 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2566 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2567 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2568 [Steve Henson]
2569
2570 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2571 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2572 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2573 [Steve Henson]
2574
2575 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2576
2577 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2578 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2579 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2580 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2581 [Antonio Martin]
2582
2583 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2584
2585 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2586 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2587 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2588 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2589 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2590 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2591 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2592 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2593 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2594 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2595 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2596 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2597 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2598
2599 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2600 (CVE-2011-4576)
2601 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2602
2603 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2604 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2605 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2606 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2607
2608 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2609 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2610
2611 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2612 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2613 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2614 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2615
2616 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2617 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2618
2619 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2620 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2621
2622 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2623 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2624
2625 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2626 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2627 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2628
2629 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2630 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2631 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2632
2633 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2634 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2635 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2636 the last update always remained unused).
2637 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2638
2639 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2640 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2641
2642 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2643
2644 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2645 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2646 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2647
2648 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2649 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2650 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2651
2652 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2653 [Bodo Moeller]
2654
2655 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2656 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2657 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2658 [Steve Henson]
2659
2660 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2661 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2662
2663 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2664
2665 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2666
2667 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2668
2669 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2670 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2671
2672 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2673 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2674 ambiguous.
2675 [Steve Henson]
2676
2677 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2678
2679 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2680 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2681 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2682 [Steve Henson]
2683
2684 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2685 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2686 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2687 [Ben Laurie]
2688
2689 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2690
2691 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2692 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2693 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2694 [Steve Henson]
2695
2696 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2697 a DLL.
2698 [Steve Henson]
2699
2700 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2701
2702 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2703 (CVE-2010-1633)
2704 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2705
2706 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2707
2708 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2709 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2710 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2711 [Steve Henson]
2712
2713 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2714 [Steve Henson]
2715
2716 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2717 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2718 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2719
2720 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2721 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2722 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2723 [Steve Henson]
2724
2725 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2726 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2727 [Steve Henson]
2728
2729 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2730 some responders need this.
2731 [Steve Henson]
2732
2733 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2734 correctly.
2735 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2736
2737 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2738 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2739 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2740 [Steve Henson]
2741
2742 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2743 [Steve Henson]
2744
2745 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2746 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2747 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2748 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2749 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2750 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2751 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2752 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2753 [Steve Henson]
2754
2755 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2756 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2757 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2758 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2759
2760 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2761 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2762
2763 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2764 be used on C++.
2765 [Steve Henson]
2766
2767 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2768 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2769 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2770 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2771 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2772 attempting to work them out.
2773 [Steve Henson]
2774
2775 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2776 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2777 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2778 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2779 [Steve Henson]
2780
2781 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2782 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2783 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2784 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2785 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2786 [Steve Henson]
2787
2788 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2789 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2790 you can do:
2791
2792 openssl sha256 foo
2793
2794 as well as:
2795
2796 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2797
2798 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2799
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2803 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2804
2805 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2806 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2809 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2810 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2811 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2812 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2813 [Steve Henson]
2814
2815 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2816 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2817 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2818 [Steve Henson]
2819
2820 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2821 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2822 [Steve Henson]
2823
2824 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2825 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2826
2827 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2828 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2829 [Steve Henson]
2830
2831 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2832 [Ben Laurie]
2833
2834 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2835 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2836 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2837 CONF_VALUE.
2838 [Ben Laurie]
2839
2840 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2841 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2842 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2843 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2844 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2845 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2846 [Steve Henson]
2847
2848 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2849 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2850
2851 This work was sponsored by Google.
2852 [Steve Henson]
2853
2854 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2855 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2856 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2857 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2858 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2859 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2860 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2861 default.
2862
2863 This work was sponsored by Google.
2864 [Steve Henson]
2865
2866 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2867
2868 This work was sponsored by Google.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2872 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2873 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2874 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2875
2876 This work was sponsored by Google.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2880 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2881 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2882 CRL functionality in future.
2883
2884 This work was sponsored by Google.
2885 [Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2888
2889 This work was sponsored by Google.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2893 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2894
2895 This work was sponsored by Google.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2899 and URI types are currently supported.
2900
2901 This work was sponsored by Google.
2902 [Steve Henson]
2903
2904 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2905 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2906 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2907 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2908 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2909 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2910 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2911 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2912
2913 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2914 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2915 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2916
2917 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2918 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2919 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2920 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2921
2922 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2923 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2924 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2925 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2926 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2927 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2928 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2929 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2930 of &errno.)
2931 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2932
2933 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2934 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2935 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2936
2937 This work was sponsored by Google.
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2941 [Ben Laurie]
2942
2943 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2944 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2945 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2946 [Ben Laurie]
2947
2948 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2949 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2950 [Nick Mathewson]
2951
2952 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2953 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2954 [Ben Laurie]
2955
2956 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2957 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2958 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2959 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2960 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2961 content types and variants.
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2965 [Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2968 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2969 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2970 files from the associated perl scripts.
2971 [Steve Henson]
2972
2973 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2974 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2975 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2976
2977 *) s390x assembler pack.
2978 [Andy Polyakov]
2979
2980 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2981 "family."
2982 [Andy Polyakov]
2983
2984 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2985 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2986 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2987 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2988 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2989 to use. For example, specify an option
2990
2991 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2992
2993 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2994 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2995 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2996 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2997 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2998 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2999
3000 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3001 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3002 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3003 return non-zero for success.
3004
3005 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3006 by using
3007
3008 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3009 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3010
3011 where
3012
3013 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3014 void *arg;
3015
3016 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3017 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3018 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3019 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3020 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3021 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3022 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3023 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3024 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3025
3026 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3027 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3028 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3029 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3030 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3031 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3032
3033 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3034 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3035 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3036 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3037 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3038 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3039
3040 [Bodo Moeller]
3041
3042 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3043 MAC.
3044
3045 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3046
3047 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3048 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3049 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3050 supported.
3051
3052 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3053 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3054 SSL_SESSION.
3055
3056 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3057 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3058 with no application modification.
3059
3060 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3061 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3062
3063 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3064 or server extensions to be examined.
3065
3066 This work was sponsored by Google.
3067 [Steve Henson]
3068
3069 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3070 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3071 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3072
3073 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3074 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3075 ciphersuite support.
3076 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3079 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3080 to output in BER and PEM format.
3081 [Steve Henson]
3082
3083 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3084 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3085 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3086 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3087 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3091 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3092 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3093 utility.
3094 [Steve Henson]
3095
3096 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3097 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3098 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3099 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3100 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3101 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3102 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3103 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3104 enabled again.
3105
3106 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3107 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3108 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3109 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3110
3111 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3112 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3113 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3114 the default order.
3115 [Bodo Moeller]
3116
3117 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3118 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3119 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3120 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3121 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3122 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3123 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3124 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3125 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3126
3127 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3128 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3129 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3130 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3131 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3132 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3133 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3134 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3135 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3136 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3137 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3138 kinds of kludges.
3139
3140 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3141 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3142 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3143
3144 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3145 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3146 "CAMELLIA256".
3147 [Bodo Moeller]
3148
3149 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3150 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3151 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3152 [Nils Larsch]
3153
3154 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3155 it yet and it is largely untested.
3156 [Steve Henson]
3157
3158 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3159 [Nils Larsch]
3160
3161 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3162 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3163 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3167 [Andy Polyakov]
3168
3169 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3170 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3171 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3172 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3176 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3177 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3178 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3179 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3180 [Steve Henson]
3181
3182 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3183 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3184 [Cryptocom]
3185
3186 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3187 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3188 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3189 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3193 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3194 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3195 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3199 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3203 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3204 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3205 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3209 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3210 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3214 utility.
3215 [Steve Henson]
3216
3217 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3218 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3219 [Steve Henson]
3220
3221 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3222 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3223 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3224 if necessary.
3225 [Steve Henson]
3226
3227 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3228 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3229 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3230 [Steve Henson]
3231
3232 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3233 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3234 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3235 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3236 [Steve Henson]
3237
3238 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3239 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3240 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3241 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3242 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3243 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3244 [Douglas Stebila]
3245
3246 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3247 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3248 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3249 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3250 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3251
3252 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3253 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3254 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3255 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3256 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3257 protocol).
3258
3259 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3260 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3261 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3262 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3263
3264 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3265 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3266 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3267 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3268 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3269
3270 aECDH - ECDH cert
3271 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3272 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3273
3274 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3275 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3276
3277 [Bodo Moeller]
3278
3279 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3280 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3281 [Steve Henson]
3282
3283 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3284 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3285 [Steve Henson]
3286
3287 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3288 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3289 functional reference processing.
3290 [Steve Henson]
3291
3292 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3293 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3294 process.
3295 [Steve Henson]
3296
3297 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3298 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3299 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3300 [Steve Henson]
3301
3302 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3303 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3304 application to support multiple signers.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3308 digest MAC.
3309 [Steve Henson]
3310
3311 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3312 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3313 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3314 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3315 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3319 new API.
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3323 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3324 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3325 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3326 a no op.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3330 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3331 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3332 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3333 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3334 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3335 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3336 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3340 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3341 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3342 between digests and public key types.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3346 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3347 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3348 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3352 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3353 key ASN1 method.
3354 [Steve Henson]
3355
3356 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3360 pkeyutl.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3364 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3365 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3366 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3367 pkey, genpkey.
3368 [Steve Henson]
3369
3370 *) BeOS support.
3371 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3372
3373 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3374 manual pages.
3375 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3376
3377 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3378 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3379 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3380 functionality for RSA.
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3384 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3385 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3389 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3393 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3394 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3395 [Steve Henson]
3396
3397 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3398 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3399 [Douglas Stebila]
3400
3401 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3402 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3403 [Steve Henson]
3404
3405 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3406 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3407 type.
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3411 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3412 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3413 structure.
3414 [Steve Henson]
3415
3416 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3417 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3418 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3419 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3420 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3421 of public and private key structures.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3425 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3426 [Douglas Stebila]
3427
3428 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3429 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3430 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3431
3432 New ciphersuites:
3433 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3434 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3435
3436 New functions:
3437 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3438 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3439 SSL_get_psk_identity
3440 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3441
3442 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3443
3444 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3445 and response verification functionality.
3446 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3447
3448 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3449 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3450 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3451 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3452 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3453 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3454 server_name extension.
3455
3456 New functions (subject to change):
3457
3458 SSL_get_servername()
3459 SSL_get_servername_type()
3460 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3461
3462 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3463
3464 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3465 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3466 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3467 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3468 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3469
3470 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3471
3472 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3473 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3474 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3475 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3476 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3477 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3478 option.
3479
3480 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3481
3482 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3483 [Andy Polyakov]
3484
3485 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3486 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3487 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3488 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3489 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3490 [Andy Polyakov]
3491
3492 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3493 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3494 macro.
3495 [Bodo Moeller]
3496
3497 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3498 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3499 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3500 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3501 [Andy Polyakov]
3502
3503 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3504 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3505 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3506 using the maximum available value.
3507 [Steve Henson]
3508
3509 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3510 in addition to the text details.
3511 [Bodo Moeller]
3512
3513 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3514 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3515 handle several customised structures at all.
3516 [Steve Henson]
3517
3518 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3519 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3520 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3521 [Steve Henson]
3522
3523 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3524 [Steve Henson]
3525
3526 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3527 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3528 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3532 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3533 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3534 [Nils Larsch]
3535
3536 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3537 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3538 all fields.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3542 [Steve Henson]
3543
3544 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3545 [NTT]
3546
3547 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3548
3549 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3550 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3551 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3552 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3553 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3554 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3555 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3556 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3557
3558 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3559 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3560 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3561
3562 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3563
3564 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3565 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3566
3567 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3568 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3569 [Bodo Moeller]
3570
3571 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3572 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3573 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3574 [Steve Henson]
3575
3576 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3577 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3578 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3579 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3580 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3581 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3582 [Steve Henson]
3583
3584 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3585 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3586 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3587 [Steve Henson]
3588
3589 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3590 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3591 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3592 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3593 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3594 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3595 CVE-2009-4355.
3596 [Steve Henson]
3597
3598 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3599 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3600 [Bodo Moeller]
3601
3602 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3603 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3604 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3608 [Steve Henson]
3609
3610 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3611 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3612 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3613 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3614 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3615 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3616 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3617 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3618 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3619 [Steve Henson]
3620
3621 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3622 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3623 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3627 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3631 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3632 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3633 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3634 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3635 know what you are doing.
3636 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3637
3638 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3639 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3640 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3641 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3642 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3643 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3644 the handshake.
3645 [Steve Henson]
3646
3647 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3648 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3649 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3650 correctly.
3651 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3652
3653 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3654 warnings in other configurations.
3655 [Steve Henson]
3656
3657 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3658 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3659 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3660 systems need.
3661 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3662
3663 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3664 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3665 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3666
3667 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3668 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3669 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3670 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3671 [Steve Henson]
3672
3673 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3674 and restored.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3678 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3679 clash.
3680 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3681
3682 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3683 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3684 other than a simple chain.
3685 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3688 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3689 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3690 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3691 [Steve Henson]
3692
3693 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3694 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3695 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3696 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3697 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3698 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3699 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3700 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3701 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3702
3703 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3704 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3705 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3706 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3707 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3708 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3709 (CVE-2009-1377)
3710 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3711
3712 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3713 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3714 [Daniel Mentz]
3715
3716 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3717 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3718
3719 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3720 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3721
3722 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3723
3724 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3725 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3726 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3727 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3728 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3729 you're doing.
3730 [Ben Laurie]
3731
3732 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3733
3734 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3735 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3736 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3737 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3738
3739 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3740 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3741 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3742 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3743
3744 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3745 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3746 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3747 [Steve Henson]
3748
3749 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3750 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3751 level.
3752 [Steve Henson]
3753
3754 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3755 to handle some structures.
3756 [Steve Henson]
3757
3758 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3759 for a '\n'
3760 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3761
3762 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3763 [Matthieu Herrb]
3764
3765 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3766 [Steve Henson]
3767
3768 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3769 [Steve Henson]
3770
3771 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3772 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3773 chosen compiler.
3774 [Ben Laurie]
3775
3776 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3777
3778 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3779 (CVE-2008-5077).
3780 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3781
3782 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3783 [Ben Laurie]
3784
3785 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3786 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3787 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3788 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3789
3790 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3791 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3792
3793 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3794 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3795 [Bodo Moeller]
3796
3797 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3798 s_client and s_server.
3799 [Ben Laurie]
3800
3801 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3802 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3803
3804 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3805 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3806
3807 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3808 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3809 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3810 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3811 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3812 [Bodo Moeller]
3813
3814 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3815
3816 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3817 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3818 [PR #1679]
3819
3820 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3821 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3822 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3823
3824 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3825 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3826 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3827 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3828
3829 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3830 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3831
3832 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3833
3834 *) Various precautionary measures:
3835
3836 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3837
3838 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3839 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3840 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3841
3842 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3843 outside the expected range.
3844
3845 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3846 builds.
3847
3848 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3849
3850 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3851 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3852 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3853
3854 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3858 [Huang Ying]
3859
3860 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3861
3862 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3863 [Steve Henson]
3864
3865 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3866 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3867 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3868
3869 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3870 [Steve Henson]
3871
3872 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3873 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3874 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3875 files.
3876 [Steve Henson]
3877
3878 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3879
3880 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3881 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3882 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3883 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3884
3885 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3886 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3887 [Joe Orton]
3888
3889 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3890
3891 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3892 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3893 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3894
3895 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3896
3897 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3898 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3899 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3900 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3901 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3902
3903 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3904 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3905 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3906 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3907 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3908 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3909 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3910
3911 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3912
3913 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3914 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3915 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3916 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3917 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3918
3919 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3920 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3921
3922 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3923 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3924 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3925 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3926 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3927
3928 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3929
3930 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3931 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3932 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3933 sets may exist with different names.
3934 [Steve Henson]
3935
3936 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3937 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3938 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3939 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3940 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3941 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3942 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3943 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3944 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3945 implementation.
3946 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3947
3948 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3949 implemention in the following ways:
3950
3951 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3952 hard coded.
3953
3954 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3955 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3956 ignored for embedded content.
3957
3958 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3959 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3960 [Steve Henson]
3961
3962 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3963 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3964 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3965 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3966
3967 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3968 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3969 [Steve Henson]
3970
3971 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3972 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3976 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3977 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3978 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3979 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3980 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3981 data.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3985 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3986 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3987
3988 *) Netware support:
3989
3990 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3991 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3992 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3993 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3994 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3995 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3996 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3997 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3998 platform
3999 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4000 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4001 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4002 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4003 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4004 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4005 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4006
4007 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4008 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4009 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4010 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4011 to s_client and s_server.
4012 [Steve Henson]
4013
4014 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4015
4016 *) Fix various bugs:
4017 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4018 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4019 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4020 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4021 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4022
4023 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4024
4025 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4026 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4027 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4028 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4029 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4030 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4031 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4032 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4033 [Andy Polyakov]
4034
4035 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4036 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4037 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4038 Steve Henson]
4039
4040 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4041 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4042 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4043 supported.
4044
4045 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4046 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4047 SSL_SESSION.
4048
4049 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4050 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4051 with no application modification.
4052
4053 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4054 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4055
4056 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4057 or server extensions to be examined.
4058
4059 This work was sponsored by Google.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4063 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4064 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4065 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4066 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4067 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4068 server_name extension.
4069
4070 New functions (subject to change):
4071
4072 SSL_get_servername()
4073 SSL_get_servername_type()
4074 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4075
4076 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4077
4078 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4079 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4080 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4081 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4082 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4083
4084 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4085
4086 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4087 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4088 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4089 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4090 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4091 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4092 option.
4093
4094 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4097 [Steve Henson]
4098
4099 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4100 [Andy Polyakov]
4101
4102 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4103 (which previously caused an internal error).
4104 [Bodo Moeller]
4105
4106 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4107 [Ben Laurie]
4108
4109 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4110 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4111
4112 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4113 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4114 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4115
4116 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4117 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4118 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4119 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4120
4121 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4122 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4123 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4124 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4125
4126 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4127 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4128 information. For detailed background information, see
4129 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4130 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4131 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4132 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4133 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4134 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4135 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4136 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4137 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4138 remove a conditional branch.
4139
4140 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4141 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4142 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4143 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4144 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4145 remains as a deprecated alias.
4146
4147 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4148 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4149 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4150 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4151
4152 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4153 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4154 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4155 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4156 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4157 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4158 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4159 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4160
4161 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4162
4163 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4164 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4165 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4166 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4167 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4168 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4169 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4170 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4171 in a different context.
4172 [Bodo Moeller]
4173
4174 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4175 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4176 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4177 [Bodo Moeller]
4178
4179 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4180 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4181 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4182
4183 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4184
4185 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4186 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4187 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4188 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4189 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4190 [Victor Duchovni]
4191
4192 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4193 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4194 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4195 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4196 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4197 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4198 [Bodo Moeller]
4199
4200 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4201 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4202 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4203 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4204 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4205 [Bodo Moeller]
4206
4207 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4208 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4209
4210 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4211 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4212 Improve header file function name parsing.
4213 [Steve Henson]
4214
4215 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4216 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4217 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4218
4219 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4220
4221 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4222 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4223 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4224
4225 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4226 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4229 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4230
4231 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4232 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4233 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4234
4235 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4236 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4237 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4238 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4239 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4240 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4241 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4242 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4243 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4244
4245 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4246 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4247 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4248 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4249 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4250
4251 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4252 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4253 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4254 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4255 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4256 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4257 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4258 multiple values to extend the available space.
4259
4260 [Bodo Moeller]
4261
4262 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4263
4264 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4265 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4266
4267 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4268 [Ben Laurie]
4269
4270 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4271 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4272 undesirable limitations.
4273 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4274
4275 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4276 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4277 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4278 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4279 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4280 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4281 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4282 [Bodo Moeller]
4283
4284 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4285
4286 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4287 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4288 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4289
4290 The latter two were purportedly from
4291 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4292 appear there.
4293
4294 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4295 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4296 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4297 [Bodo Moeller]
4298
4299 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4300 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4301 [Bodo Moeller]
4302
4303 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4304 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4305 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4306 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4307
4308 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4309 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4310 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4311 [NTT]
4312
4313 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4314 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4315 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4316 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4317 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4318 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4319 [Steve Henson]
4320
4321 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4322
4323 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4324 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4328 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4329
4330 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4331 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4332 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4333 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4334 [Douglas Stebila]
4335
4336 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4337 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4338 [Steve Henson]
4339
4340 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4341 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4342 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4343 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4344 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4345 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4346 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4347 can't be loaded.
4348 [Steve Henson]
4349
4350 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4351 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4352 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4353 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4354 [Steve Henson]
4355
4356 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4357 under VC++ build system.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4361 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4362 [Richard Levitte]
4363
4364 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4365
4366 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4367 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4368 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4369 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4370 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4371
4372 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4373 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4374 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4375
4376 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4380 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4381 [Nils Larsch]
4382
4383 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4384 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4385
4386 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4387 [Nick Mathewson]
4388
4389 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4390 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4391
4392 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4393 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4394 [Steve Henson]
4395
4396 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4397 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4398 smime utility.
4399 [Steve Henson]
4400
4401 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4402
4403 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4404 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4405
4406 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4407 [Richard Levitte]
4408
4409 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4410 key into the same file any more.
4411 [Richard Levitte]
4412
4413 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4414 [Andy Polyakov]
4415
4416 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4417 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4418
4419 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4420 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4421 [Richard Levitte]
4422
4423 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4424 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4425 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4426 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4427 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4428 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4429
4430 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4431 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4432 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4433 [Steve Henson]
4434
4435 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4436 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4437 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4438 - add new function for parameter creation
4439 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4440 BN_BLINDING parameters
4441 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4442 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4443 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4444 threads.
4445 [Nils Larsch]
4446
4447 *) Add support for DTLS.
4448 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4449
4450 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4451 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4452 [Walter Goulet]
4453
4454 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4455 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4456 [Nils Larsch]
4457
4458 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4459 the apps/openssl applications.
4460 [Nils Larsch]
4461
4462 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4463 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4464 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4465 [Ben Laurie]
4466
4467 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4468 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4469
4470 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4471 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4472
4473 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4474 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4475 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4476 avoid this algorithm.)
4477
4478 [Bodo Moeller]
4479
4480 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4481 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4482 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4483 [Richard Levitte]
4484
4485 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4486 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4487 [Andy Polyakov]
4488
4489 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4490 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4491 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4492 pod file:
4493
4494 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4495
4496 The blank line is mandatory.
4497
4498 [Steve Henson]
4499
4500 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4501 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4502 sources.
4503 [Steve Henson]
4504
4505 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4506 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4507
4508 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4509 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4510 to support policy checking and print out.
4511 [Steve Henson]
4512
4513 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4514 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4515 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4516 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4517
4518 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4519 [Geoff Thorpe]
4520
4521 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4522 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4523
4524 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4525 implementation contributed by IBM.
4526 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4527
4528 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4529 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4530 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4531 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4532
4533 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4534 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4535
4536 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4537 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4538 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4539 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4540 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4541 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4542 [Steve Henson]
4543
4544 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4545 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4546 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4547 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4548 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4549 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4550 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4551 [Geoff Thorpe]
4552
4553 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4554 [Steve Henson]
4555
4556 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4557 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4558 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4559 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4560 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4561 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4562 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4563 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4564 [Steve Henson]
4565
4566 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4567 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4568 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4569 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4573 syntax:
4574
4575 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4576 [Steve Henson]
4577
4578 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4579 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4580 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4581 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4582 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4583 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4584 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4585 [Geoff Thorpe]
4586
4587 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4588 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4589 [Geoff Thorpe]
4590
4591 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4592 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4593 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4594 [Steve Henson]
4595
4596 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4597 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4598 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4599 below).
4600 [Geoff Thorpe]
4601
4602 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4603 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4604 [Richard Levitte]
4605
4606 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4607 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4608 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4609 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4610 [Geoff Thorpe]
4611
4612 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4613 initialised value as BN_new().
4614 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4615
4616 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4617 [Steve Henson]
4618
4619 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4620 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4621 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4622 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4623 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4624 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4625 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4626 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4627 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4628 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4629 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4630 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4631 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4632 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4633 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4634
4635 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4636 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4637 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4638 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4639 [Geoff Thorpe]
4640
4641 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4642 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4643 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4644 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4645 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4646 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4647 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4648 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4649 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4650 [Geoff Thorpe]
4651
4652 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4653 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4654 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4655 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4656 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4657 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4658 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4659 [Geoff Thorpe]
4660
4661 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4662 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4663 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4664 these have been updated also.
4665 [Geoff Thorpe]
4666
4667 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4668 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4669 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4670 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4671 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4672 functions.
4673 [Steve Henson]
4674
4675 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4676 structure of type "other".
4677 [Steve Henson]
4678
4679 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4680 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4681 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4682 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4683 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4684 situation in the script.
4685 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4686
4687 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4688 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4689 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4690 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4691 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4692 used as premaster secret.
4693 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4694
4695 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4696 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4697 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4698
4699 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4700 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4701
4702 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4703 control of the error stack.
4704 [Richard Levitte]
4705
4706 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4707 [Richard Levitte]
4708
4709 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4710 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4711 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4712 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4713 [Richard Levitte]
4714
4715 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4716 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4717 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4718 [Richard Levitte]
4719
4720 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4721 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4722 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4723 a memory area.
4724 [Richard Levitte]
4725
4726 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4727 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4728 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4729 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4730 [Richard Levitte]
4731
4732 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4733 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4734 the following flags are defined:
4735
4736 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4737 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4738 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4739 number.
4740
4741 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4742 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4743 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4744 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4745 returns zero.
4746 [Richard Levitte]
4747
4748 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4749 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4750 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4751 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4752 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4753 [Richard Levitte]
4754
4755 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4756 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4757 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4758 [Richard Levitte]
4759
4760 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4761 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4762 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4763 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4764 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4765 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4766 [Richard Levitte]
4767
4768 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4769 req and dirName.
4770 [Steve Henson]
4771
4772 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4773 [Steve Henson]
4774
4775 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4776 [Steve Henson]
4777
4778 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4779 [Steve Henson]
4780
4781 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4782 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4783 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4784 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4785 default implementation more easily.
4786 [Geoff Thorpe]
4787
4788 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4789 in config files.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4793 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4794 [Richard Levitte]
4795
4796 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4797 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4798 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4799 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4800
4801 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4802 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4803 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4804 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4805 [Steve Henson]
4806
4807 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4808 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4809 to do it.
4810 [Richard Levitte]
4811
4812 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4813 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4814 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4815 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4816 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4817 scalar * generator).
4818 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4819
4820 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4821 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4822 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4823 correctly.
4824 [Steve Henson]
4825
4826 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4827 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4828 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4829 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4830 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4831 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4832 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4833 linker additions, eg;
4834 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4835 [Geoff Thorpe]
4836
4837 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4838 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4839 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4840 [Geoff Thorpe]
4841
4842 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4843 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4844 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4845 via PR#459)
4846 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4847
4848 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4849 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4850 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4851 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4852 [Geoff Thorpe]
4853
4854 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4855 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4856 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4857 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4858 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4859 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4860 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4861 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4862 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4863 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4864
4865 Example for using the new callback interface:
4866
4867 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4868 void *my_arg = ...;
4869 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4870
4871 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4872
4873 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4874 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4875 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4876 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4877 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4878 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4879 */
4880
4881 [Geoff Thorpe]
4882
4883 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4884 available to TLS with the number defined in
4885 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4886 [Richard Levitte]
4887
4888 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4889 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4890
4891 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4892 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4893 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4894 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4895
4896 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4897 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4898
4899 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4900 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4901 well.
4902 [Richard Levitte]
4903
4904 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4905 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4906 [Richard Levitte]
4907
4908 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4909 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4910 and a macro that behave like
4911 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4912
4913 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4914 [Nils Larsch]
4915
4916 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4917 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4918 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4919 if applicable.
4920 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4921
4922 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4923 [Bodo Moeller]
4924
4925 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4926 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4927 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4928 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4929 directory engines/.
4930 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4931 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4932 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4933 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4934 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4935 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4936 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4937 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4938
4939 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4940 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4941 [Richard Levitte]
4942
4943 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4944 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4945
4946 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4947 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4948 files while avoiding the low level API.
4949
4950 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4951 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4952 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4953 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4954
4955 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4956 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4957 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4958 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4959 instead of the low level API.
4960 [Steve Henson]
4961
4962 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4963 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4964 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4965 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4966 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4967 PKCS#7 code.
4968
4969 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4970 down to the template encoder.
4971 [Steve Henson]
4972
4973 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4974 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4975 [Bodo Moeller]
4976
4977 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4978 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4979 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4980 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4981
4982 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4983 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4984
4985 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4986 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4987
4988 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4989 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4990 [Bodo Moeller]
4991
4992 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4993 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4994 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4995 [Bodo Moeller]
4996
4997 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4998 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4999
5000 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5001 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5002
5003 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5004 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5005 New EC_METHOD:
5006
5007 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5008
5009 New API functions:
5010
5011 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5012 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5013 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5014 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5015 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5016 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5017
5018 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5019 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5020 enable it).
5021
5022 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5023 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5024 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5025 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5026 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5027 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5028 various internal method names.)
5029
5030 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5031 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5032
5033 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5034 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5035
5036 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5037 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5038
5039 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5040 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5041 methods are undefined.
5042
5043 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5044 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5045
5046 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5047 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5048 length of the modulus.
5049
5050 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5051 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5052
5053 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5054 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5055
5056 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5057 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5058
5059 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5060 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5061 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5062
5063 BN_GF2m_add
5064 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5065 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5066 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5067 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5068 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5069 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5070 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5071 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5072 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5073
5074 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5075 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5076
5077 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5078 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5079 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5080 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5081 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5082 where
5083 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5084 This applies to the following functions:
5085
5086 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5087 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5088 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5089 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5090 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5091 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5092 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5093 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5094 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5095 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5096
5097 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5098
5099 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5100 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5101
5102 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5103
5104 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5105 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5106 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5107 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5108 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5109
5110 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5111 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5112
5113 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5114 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5115 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5116
5117 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5118 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5119
5120 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5121 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5122 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5123 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5124 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5125
5126 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5127 functions
5128 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5129 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5130 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5131 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5132 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5133 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5134 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5135 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5136 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5137 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5138 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5139 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5140
5141 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5142 functions
5143 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5144 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5145 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5146 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5147 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5148
5149 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5150 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5151 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5152 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5153
5154 *) Add functions
5155 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5156 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5157 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5158 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5159 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5160 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5161 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5162
5163 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5164 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5165 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5166 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5167 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5168 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5169 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5170 adding different types of curves.
5171 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5172
5173 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5174 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5175 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5176 [Bodo Moeller]
5177
5178 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5179 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5180
5181 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5182 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5183 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5184 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5185
5186 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5187
5188 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5189 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5190
5191 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5192 library. Most notably,
5193 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5194 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5195 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5196 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5197 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5198 extracted before the specific public key;
5199 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5200 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5201
5202 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5203 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5204 function
5205 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5206 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5207 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5208 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5209 accessed via
5210 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5211 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5212 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5215 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5216 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5217 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5218 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5219 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5220 differing sizes.
5221 [Richard Levitte]
5222
5223 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5224
5225 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5226 sensitive data.
5227 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5228
5229 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5230 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5231 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5232 [Bodo Moeller]
5233
5234 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5235 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5236 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5237 [Victor Duchovni]
5238
5239 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5240 [Steve Henson]
5241
5242 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5243 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5244 [Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5247 run algorithm test programs.
5248 [Steve Henson]
5249
5250 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5251 [Steve Henson]
5252
5253 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5254 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5255 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5256 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5257 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5258 [Bodo Moeller]
5259
5260 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5261 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5262 [Steve Henson]
5263
5264 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5265
5266 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5267 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5268 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5269
5270 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5271 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5272
5273 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5274 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5275
5276 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5277 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5278 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5279
5280 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5281 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5282 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5283 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5284 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5285 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5286 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5287 [Bodo Moeller]
5288
5289 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5290
5291 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5292 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5293
5294 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5295 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5296 undesirable limitations.
5297 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5298
5299 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5300
5301 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5302 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5303 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5304
5305 The latter two were purportedly from
5306 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5307 appear there.
5308
5309 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5310 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5311 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5312 [Bodo Moeller]
5313
5314 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5315 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5316 [Bodo Moeller]
5317
5318 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5319
5320 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5321 module in FIPS mode.
5322 [Steve Henson]
5323
5324 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5325 [Steve Henson]
5326
5327 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5328 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5329 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5330 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5334
5335 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5336 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5337 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5338 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5339 the difference induced by this change.
5340 [Andy Polyakov]
5341
5342 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5343
5344 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5345 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5346 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5347 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5348 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5349
5350 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5351 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5352 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5353
5354 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5355 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5356 [Steve Henson]
5357
5358 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5359 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5360 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5361 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5362 biased k.)
5363 [Bodo Moeller]
5364
5365 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5366 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5367 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5368 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5369 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5370
5371 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5372 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5373 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5374 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5375 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5376 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5377
5378 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5379
5380 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5381 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5382 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5383 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5384 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5385 [Bodo Moeller]
5386
5387 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5388 clients need.
5389 [Steve Henson]
5390
5391 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5392 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5393 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5394 [Steve Henson]
5395
5396 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5397 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5398 structures constant.
5399 [Steve Henson]
5400
5401 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5402
5403 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5404 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5405
5406 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5407 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5408 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5409 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5410 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5411 some needed definitions.
5412 [Steve Henson]
5413
5414 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5415 [Ulf Möller]
5416
5417 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5418 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5419 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5420 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5421 [Richard Levitte]
5422
5423 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5424
5425 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5426 server and client random values. Previously
5427 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5428 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5429
5430 This change has negligible security impact because:
5431
5432 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5433 data.
5434
5435 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5436 handshake.
5437
5438 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5439 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5440 values.
5441
5442 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5443 to our attention.
5444
5445 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5446
5447 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5448 [Ulf Möller]
5449
5450 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5451 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5452 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5453
5454 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5455 [Steve Henson]
5456
5457 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5458 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5459 [Andy Polyakov]
5460
5461 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5462 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5463 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5464
5465 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5466 [Steve Henson]
5467
5468 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5469 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5470 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5471 certificates.
5472 [Steve Henson]
5473
5474 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5475 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5476 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5477 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5478
5479 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5480 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5481 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5482 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5483 been given)
5484 [Richard Levitte]
5485
5486 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5487
5488 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5489 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5490 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5491 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5492 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5493 [Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5499 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5500
5501 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5502 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5503 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5504 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5505 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5506 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5507 rather than being initialized to 1.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5511
5512 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5513 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5514 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5515
5516 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5517 (CVE-2004-0112)
5518 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5519
5520 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5521 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5522 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5523 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5524 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5525 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5526 [Richard Levitte]
5527
5528 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5529 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5530 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5531 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5532 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5533 for these cases.
5534 [Steve Henson]
5535
5536 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5537 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5538 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5539 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5540 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5544 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5545 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5546 < 0.9.7.
5547 [Steve Henson]
5548
5549 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5550 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5551
5552 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5553 [Steve Henson]
5554
5555 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5556
5557 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5558
5559 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5560 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5561
5562 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5563
5564 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5565 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5566
5567 [Steve Henson]
5568
5569 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5570 exiting on the first error in a request.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5574 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5575 specifications.
5576 [Steve Henson]
5577
5578 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5579 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5580 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5581 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5582
5583 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5584 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5585 [Richard Levitte]
5586
5587 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5588 blocks during encryption.
5589 [Richard Levitte]
5590
5591 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5592 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5593 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5594 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5595 certain size.
5596 [Steve Henson]
5597
5598 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5599 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5600 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5601 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5602 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5603 parser.
5604 [Steve Henson]
5605
5606 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5607
5608 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5609 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5610 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5611 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5612 [Bodo Moeller]
5613
5614 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5615 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5616 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5617 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5618 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5619
5620 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5621 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5622 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5623 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5624 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5625 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5626 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5627 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5628 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5629 [Bodo Moeller]
5630
5631 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5632 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5633 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5634 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5635 [Geoff Thorpe]
5636
5637 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5638 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5639 [Ulf Moeller]
5640
5641 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5642
5643 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5644 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5645 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5646 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5647 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5648
5649 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5650 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5651 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5652
5653 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5654 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5655 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5656 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5657 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5658
5659 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5660 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5661 used by default when no-err is given.
5662 [Richard Levitte]
5663
5664 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5665 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5666
5667 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5668 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5669 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5670 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5671 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5672
5673 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5674 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5675 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5676 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5677
5678 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5679
5680 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5681
5682 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5683
5684 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5685 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5686 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5687 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5688 root is omitted).
5689 [Steve Henson]
5690
5691 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5692 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5693
5694 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5695 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5696 [Steve Henson]
5697
5698 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5699 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5700 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5701 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5702 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5703
5704 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5705 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5706 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5707 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5708 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5709 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5710 followup to PR #377.
5711 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5712
5713 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5714 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5715 [Andy Polyakov]
5716
5717 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5718 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5719 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5720 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5721
5722 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5723
5724 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5725 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5726
5727 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5728 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5729 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5730 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5731 client and server.
5732 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5733 PR #377.
5734 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5735
5736 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5737 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5738 removed entirely.
5739 [Richard Levitte]
5740
5741 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5742 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5743 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5744 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5745 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5746 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5747 of libcrypto.
5748 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5749 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5750 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5751 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5752 have to be made anyway).
5753 [Richard Levitte]
5754
5755 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5756 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5757 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5758 [Steve Henson]
5759
5760 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5761 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5762 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5763 [Richard Levitte]
5764
5765 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5766 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5767 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5768
5769 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5770 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5771 edit numbers of the version.
5772 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5773
5774 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5775 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5776 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5777
5778 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5779 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5780
5781 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5782 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5783 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5784
5785 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5786 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5787
5788 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5789 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5790
5791 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5792 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5793
5794 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5795 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5796
5797 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5798 overflows.
5799 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5800
5801 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5802 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5803 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5804
5805 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5806 representations in a platform independent manner.
5807 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5808
5809 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5810 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5811 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5812
5813 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5814 indents.
5815 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5816
5817 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5818 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5819
5820 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5821 full. Fixed.
5822 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5823
5824 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5825 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5826 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5827
5828 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5829 unconditionally).
5830 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5831
5832 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5833 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5834
5835 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5836 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5837
5838 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5839 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5840
5841 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5842 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5843
5844 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5845 CBCParameter.
5846 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5847
5848 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5849 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5850
5851 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5852 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5853
5854 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5855 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5856 exploitable.
5857 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5858
5859 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5860 the 0.9.6 release series:
5861
5862 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5863 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5864 (CVE-2002-0657)
5865 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5866
5867 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5868 [Richard Levitte]
5869
5870 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5871 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5872
5873 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5874 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5875
5876 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5877 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5878 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5879 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5880
5881 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5882 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5883 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5884
5885 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5886 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5887 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5888 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5889
5890 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5891 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5892 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5893 some local tweaks:
5894
5895 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5896 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5897 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5898 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5899 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5900 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5901 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5902 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5903 done
5904
5905 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5906 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
5907 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5908 [Richard Levitte]
5909
5910 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5911 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5912 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5913 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5914 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5915
5916 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5917 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5918
5919 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5920 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5921 [Richard Levitte]
5922
5923 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5924 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5925 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5926 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5927 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5928 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5929 [Steve Henson]
5930
5931 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5932 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5933 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5934 [Steve Henson]
5935
5936 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5937 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5938 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5939
5940 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5941 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5942 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5943 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5944 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5945 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5946 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5947 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5948
5949 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5950 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5951 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5952 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5953 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5954 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5955 [Steve Henson]
5956
5957 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5958 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5959 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5960 declaration has been changed from
5961 int (*cb)()
5962 into
5963 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5964 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5965 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5966 has been changed into
5967 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5968
5969 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5970 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5971 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5972
5973 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5974 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5975
5976 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5977 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5978 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5979 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5980 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5981 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5982 always load it have also been added.
5983 [Steve Henson]
5984
5985 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5986 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5987 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5988
5989 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5990
5991 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5992 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5993 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5994
5995 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5996 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5997 command line option can be used to specify an
5998 alternative file.
5999 [Steve Henson]
6000
6001 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6002 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6003 [Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6006 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6007 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6008 [Steve Henson]
6009
6010 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6011 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6012 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6013 to work with the new engine framework.
6014 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6015
6016 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6017 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6018 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6019 to work with the new engine framework.
6020 [Richard Levitte]
6021
6022 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6023 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6024 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6025
6026 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6027 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6028
6029 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6030 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6031 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6032 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6033 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6034 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6035
6036 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6037 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6038
6039 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6040 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6041
6042 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6043 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6044 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6045 [Ben Laurie]
6046
6047 *) Add new functions
6048 ERR_peek_last_error
6049 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6050 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6051 These are similar to
6052 ERR_peek_error
6053 ERR_peek_error_line
6054 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6055 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6056 still in the error queue.
6057 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6058
6059 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6060 like:
6061 default_algorithms = ALL
6062 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6063 [Steve Henson]
6064
6065 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6066 [Steve Henson]
6067
6068 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6072 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6073 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6074 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6075
6076 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6077 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6078
6079 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6080 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6081
6082 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6083 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6084 [Bodo Moeller]
6085
6086 *) New functions/macros
6087
6088 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6089 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6090 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6091 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6092
6093 to request calling a callback function
6094
6095 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6096 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6097
6098 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6099 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6100 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6101 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6102 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6103 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6104 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6105 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6106 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6107 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6108
6109 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6110 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6111 [Bodo Moeller]
6112
6113 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6114 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6115 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6116 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6117 the configuration scripts.
6118
6119 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6120 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6121 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6122
6123 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6124 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6125
6126 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6127 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6128 when reusing an existing buffer.
6129 [Bodo Moeller]
6130
6131 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6132 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6133 [Steve Henson]
6134
6135 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6136 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6137 [Ben Laurie]
6138
6139 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6140 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6141 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6142 has the same effect.
6143 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6144
6145 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6146 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6147 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6148 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6149 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6150 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6151 exception.
6152
6153 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6154 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6155 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6156 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6157
6158 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6159 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6160 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6161 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6162
6163 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6164 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6165 won't work.
6166
6167 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6168 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6169 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6170 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6171 default), and then completely removed.
6172 [Richard Levitte]
6173
6174 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6175 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6176 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6177 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6178 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6179 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6180 particular extension is supported.
6181 [Steve Henson]
6182
6183 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6184 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6188 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6189 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6190 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6191 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6192 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6193 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6194 requires the destination to be valid.
6195
6196 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6197 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6198 [Steve Henson]
6199
6200 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6201 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6202 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6203 [Bodo Moeller]
6204
6205 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6206 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6207
6208 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6209 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6210 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6211 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6212 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6213 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6214 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6215 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6216 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6217 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6218 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6219 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6220 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6221 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6222 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6223 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6224 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6225 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6226 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6227 the new code.
6228 [Geoff Thorpe]
6229
6230 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6231 [Steve Henson]
6232
6233 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6234 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6235 become part of libeay.num as well.
6236 [Richard Levitte]
6237
6238 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6239 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6240 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6241 false once a handshake has been completed.
6242 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6243 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6244 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6245 client has followed the request.)
6246 [Bodo Moeller]
6247
6248 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6249 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6250 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6251 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6252
6253 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6254 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6255 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6256 [Bodo Moeller]
6257
6258 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6259 [Steve Henson]
6260
6261 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6262 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6263 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6264 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6265
6266 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6267 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6268 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6269
6270 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6271 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6272 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6273 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6274 [Geoff Thorpe]
6275
6276 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6277 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6278 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6279 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6280 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6281 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6282 [Geoff Thorpe]
6283
6284 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6285 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6286 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6287 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6288 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6289 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6290 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6291 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6292 [Geoff Thorpe]
6293
6294 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6295 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6296 [Geoff Thorpe]
6297
6298 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6299 [Ben Laurie]
6300
6301 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6302 md_data void pointer.
6303 [Ben Laurie]
6304
6305 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6306 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6307 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6308 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6309 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6310 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6311 [Ben Laurie]
6312
6313 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6314 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6315 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6316 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6317 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6318 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6319 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6320 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6321 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6322 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6323 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6324 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6325 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6326 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6327 rather than letting it slide.
6328
6329 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6330 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6331 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6332 [Geoff Thorpe]
6333
6334 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6335 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6336 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6337 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6338 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6339 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6340 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6341 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6342 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6343 [Geoff Thorpe]
6344
6345 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6346 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6347 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6348 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6349 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6350
6351 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6352 [Geoff Thorpe]
6353
6354 *) Add EVP test program.
6355 [Ben Laurie]
6356
6357 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6358 [Ben Laurie]
6359
6360 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6361 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6362 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6363 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6364 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6365 [Steve Henson]
6366
6367 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6368 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6369 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6370 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6371 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6372 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6373 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6374
6375 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6376 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6377 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6378 Usage example:
6379
6380 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6381
6382 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6383 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6384 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6385 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6386 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6387
6388 [Ben Laurie]
6389
6390 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6391 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6392 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6393 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6394 anyway): E.g.,
6395
6396 des_key_schedule ks;
6397
6398 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6399 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6400
6401 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6402 [Ben Laurie]
6403
6404 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6405 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6406 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6407 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6408 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6409 functions prevents this.
6410 [Steve Henson]
6411
6412 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6413 [Ben Laurie]
6414
6415 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6416 correct _ecb suffix.
6417 [Ben Laurie]
6418
6419 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6420 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6421 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6422 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6423 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6427 [Richard Levitte]
6428
6429 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6430 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6431 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6432 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6433
6434 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6435 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6436
6437 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6438 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6439 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6440 via Richard Levitte]
6441
6442 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6443 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6444 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6445 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6446 [Geoff Thorpe]
6447
6448 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6449 Before:
6450 encrypt
6451 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6452 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6453 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6454 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6455 decrypt
6456 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6457 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6458 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6459 After:
6460 encrypt
6461 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6462 decrypt
6463 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6464 [Ben Laurie]
6465
6466 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6467 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6468
6469 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6470 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6471 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6472 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6473 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6474 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6475 [Steve Henson]
6476
6477 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6478 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6479 [Richard Levitte]
6480
6481 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6482 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6483 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6484 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6485
6486 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6487 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6488 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6489 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6490 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6491 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6492 callback.
6493 [Richard Levitte]
6494
6495 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6496 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6497 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6498 and interrupts/cancellations.
6499 [Richard Levitte]
6500
6501 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6502 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6503 [Steve Henson]
6504
6505 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6506 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6507 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6508
6509 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6510 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6511 kind of callback.
6512 [Richard Levitte]
6513
6514 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6515 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6516 than this minimum value is recommended.
6517 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6518
6519 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6520 that are easily reachable.
6521 [Richard Levitte]
6522
6523 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6524 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6525
6526 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6527
6528 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6529 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6530 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6531 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6532 [Steve Henson]
6533
6534 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6535 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6536 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6537 [Steve Henson]
6538
6539 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6540 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6541 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6542 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6543 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6544 internally such as S/MIME.
6545
6546 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6547 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6548 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6549
6550 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6551 applications.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6555 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6556 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6557 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6558
6559 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6560
6561 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6562
6563 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6564 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6565 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6566 handling.
6567 [Steve Henson]
6568
6569 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6570 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6571 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6572 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6573 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6574 a window system and the like.
6575 [Richard Levitte]
6576
6577 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6578 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6579 [Geoff]
6580
6581 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6582 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6583 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6584 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6585 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6586 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6587 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6588 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6589 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6590 ENGINE structure.
6591 [Geoff]
6592
6593 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6594 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6595 tag cache.
6596 [Steve Henson]
6597
6598 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6599 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6600 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6601 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6602 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6603 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6604 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6605 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6606 [Geoff]
6607
6608 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6609 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6610 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6611 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6612 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6613 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6614 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6615 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6616 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6617 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6618 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6619 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6620 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6621 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6622 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6623 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6624 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6625 [Geoff]
6626
6627 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6628 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6629 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6630 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6631 internal engine_int.h header.
6632 [Geoff]
6633
6634 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6635 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6636 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6637 modify their own ones).
6638 [Geoff]
6639
6640 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6641 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6642 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6643 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6644 later on via ctrl() commands.
6645 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6646 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6647 structural references.
6648 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6649 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6650 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6651 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6652 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6653 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6654 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6655 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6656 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6657 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6658 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6659 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6660 [Geoff]
6661
6662 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6663 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6664 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6665 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6666 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6667 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6668 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6669 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6670 [Bodo Moeller]
6671
6672 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6673 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6674 [Steve Henson]
6675
6676 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6677 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6678 [Steve Henson]
6679
6680 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6681 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6682 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6683 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6684 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6685 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6686 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6690 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6691 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6692 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6693 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6694
6695 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6696 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6697 generator).
6698 [Bodo Moeller]
6699
6700 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6701
6702 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6703 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6704 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6705
6706 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6707 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6708
6709 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6710 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6711 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6712
6713 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6714 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6715
6716 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6717 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6718
6719 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6720
6721 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6722 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6723 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6724 [Bodo Moeller]
6725
6726 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6727 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6728 [Richard Levitte]
6729
6730 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6731 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6732 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6733 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6734 is 40 of more characters long.
6735 [Steve Henson]
6736
6737 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6738 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6739 pointers.
6740 [Steve Henson]
6741
6742 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6743 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6744 [Bodo Moeller]
6745
6746 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6747 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6748 might.
6749 [Steve Henson]
6750
6751 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6752
6753 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6754 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6755
6756 ASN1 error codes
6757 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6758 ...
6759 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6760 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6761 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6762 ...
6763 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6764 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6765
6766 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6767 [Bodo Moeller]
6768
6769 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6770 suffices.
6771 [Bodo Moeller]
6772
6773 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6774 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6775 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6776 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6777 and
6778 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6779
6780 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6781 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6782
6783 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6784 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6785 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6786 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6787 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6788 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6789
6790 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6791 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6792
6793 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6794 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6795
6796 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6797 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6798
6799 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6800 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6801 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6802 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6803
6804 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6805 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6806
6807 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6808 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6809
6810 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6811 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6812 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6813 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6814 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6815 [Richard Levitte]
6816
6817 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6818 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6819 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6820 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6821 [Steve Henson]
6822
6823 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6824 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6825 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6826 trust settings.
6827 [Steve Henson]
6828
6829 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6830 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6831 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6832 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6833 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6834 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6835 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6836 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6837 ocsp utility.
6838 [Steve Henson]
6839
6840 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6841 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6842 [Steve Henson]
6843
6844 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6845 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6846 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6847 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6848 [Steve Henson]
6849
6850 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6851 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6852 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6853 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6854 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6855 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6856 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6857 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6858 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6859 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6860 [Steve Henson]
6861
6862 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6863 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6864 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6865 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6866 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6867 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6868 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6869 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6870
6871 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6872 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6873 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6874 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6875 [Richard Levitte]
6876
6877 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6878 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6879 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6880 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6881 opensslconf.h.
6882 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6883 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6884 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6885 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6886 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6887 what is available.
6888 [Richard Levitte]
6889
6890 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6891 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6892 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6893 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6894 auto incremented.
6895 [Steve Henson]
6896
6897 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6898 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6899 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6900 [Steve Henson]
6901
6902 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6903 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6904 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6905 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6906 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6907 [Steve Henson]
6908
6909 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6910 [Steve Henson]
6911
6912 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6913 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6914 option to ocsp utility.
6915 [Steve Henson]
6916
6917 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6918 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6919 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6920 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6921 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6922 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6923 the request is nonce-less.
6924 [Steve Henson]
6925
6926 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6927 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6928 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6929 [Bodo Moeller]
6930
6931 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6932 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6933 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6934 [Steve Henson]
6935
6936 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6937 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6938 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6939 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6940 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6941 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6942
6943 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6944 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6945 appear to exist.
6946 [Steve Henson]
6947
6948 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6949 additional certificates supplied.
6950 [Steve Henson]
6951
6952 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6953 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6954 signature against.
6955 [Richard Levitte]
6956
6957 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6958 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6959 AES OIDs.
6960
6961 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6962 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6963 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6964 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6965 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6966 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6967 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6968 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6969 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6970
6971 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6972 request to response.
6973 [Steve Henson]
6974
6975 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6976 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6977 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6978 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6979 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6980 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6981 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6982 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6983 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6984 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6985 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6989 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6990 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6991 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6992 [Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6995 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6996
6997 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6998 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6999 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7000 [Steve Henson]
7001
7002 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7003 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7004 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7005 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7006 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7007
7008 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7009 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7010 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7014 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7015 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7016 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7017 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7018 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7019 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7020 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7021
7022 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7023 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7024 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7025 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7026 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7027 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7031 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7032 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7033 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7034 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7035 printout format cleaned up.
7036 [Steve Henson]
7037
7038 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7039 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7040 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7041 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7042 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7043 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7044 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7045 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7046 [Steve Henson]
7047
7048 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7049 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7050 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7051 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7052 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7053 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7054 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7055 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7056 [Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7059 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7060 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7061 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7062 section to use.
7063 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7064
7065 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7066 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7067 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7068 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7069 [Steve Henson]
7070
7071 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7072 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7073 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7074 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7075 in the index file.
7076 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7077
7078 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7079 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7080 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7081 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7082
7083 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7084 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7085
7086 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7087 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7088 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7089 [Steve Henson]
7090
7091 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7092 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7093 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7097 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7098 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7099 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7100 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7101 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7102 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7103 functions are provided:
7104
7105 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7106 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7107 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7108 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7109
7110 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7111 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7112 extended allocation function is enabled.
7113 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7114 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7115 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7116
7117 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7118 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7119 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7120 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7121 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7122 [Geoff Thorpe]
7123
7124 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7125 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7126 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7127 be queried.
7128 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7129 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7130 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7131 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7132
7133 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7134 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7135 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7136 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7137 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7138 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7139 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7140 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7141 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7142 [Richard Levitte]
7143
7144 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7145 provide utility functions which an application needing
7146 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7147 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7148 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7149
7150 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7151 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7152 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7153 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7154 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7155 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7156 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7157 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7158 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7159
7160 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7161 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7162 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7163 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7164 [Steve Henson]
7165
7166 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7167 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7168 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7169 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7170 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7171 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7172 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7173 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7174 will be added elsewhere.
7175 [Steve Henson]
7176
7177 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7178 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7179 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7180 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7184 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7185 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7186 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7187 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7188 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7189 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7190 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7191 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7192 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7193 to produce the required SET OF.
7194 [Steve Henson]
7195
7196 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7197 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7198 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7199 [Richard Levitte]
7200
7201 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7202 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7203 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7204 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7205 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7206 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7207 [Steve Henson]
7208
7209 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7210 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7211 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7212 [Steve Henson]
7213
7214 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7215 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7216 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7217 [Richard Levitte]
7218
7219 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7220 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7221 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7222 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7223 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7224 [Steve Henson]
7225
7226 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7227 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7228 [Steve Henson]
7229
7230 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7231 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7232 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7233 certifcates and CRLs.
7234 [Steve Henson]
7235
7236 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7237 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7238 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7239 [Steve Henson]
7240
7241 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7242 entries for variables.
7243 [Steve Henson]
7244
7245 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7246 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7247 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7248 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7249 [Bodo Moeller]
7250
7251 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7252 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7253 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7254 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7255 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7256 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7257 [Bodo Moeller]
7258
7259 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7260 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7261
7262 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7263 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7264 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7265 [Steve Henson]
7266
7267 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7268 print routines.
7269 [Steve Henson]
7270
7271 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7272 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7273 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7274 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7275 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7276 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7277 [Steve Henson]
7278
7279 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7280 [Steve Henson]
7281
7282 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7283 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7284 for now but they will eventually go away.
7285 [Steve Henson]
7286
7287 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7288 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7289 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7290 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7291 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7292 has also been converted to the new form.
7293 [Steve Henson]
7294
7295 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7296 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7297 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7298 for negative moduli.
7299 [Bodo Moeller]
7300
7301 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7302 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7303 [Bodo Moeller]
7304
7305 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7306 set.
7307 [Bodo Moeller]
7308
7309 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7310 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7311 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7312 type-specific callbacks.
7313 [Geoff Thorpe]
7314
7315 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7316 RFC 2712.
7317 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7318 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7319
7320 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7321 in sections depending on the subject.
7322 [Richard Levitte]
7323
7324 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7325 Windows.
7326 [Richard Levitte]
7327
7328 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7329 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7330 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7331 be handled deterministically).
7332 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7333
7334 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7335 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7336 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7337 [Bodo Moeller]
7338
7339 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7340 [Bodo Moeller]
7341
7342 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7343 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7344 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7345 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7346 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7347 [Bodo Moeller]
7348
7349 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7350 sign of the number in question.
7351
7352 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7353
7354 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7355 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7356 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7357 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7358 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7359 [Bodo Moeller]
7360
7361 *) New function BN_swap.
7362 [Bodo Moeller]
7363
7364 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7365 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7366 results on negative inputs.
7367 [Bodo Moeller]
7368
7369 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7370 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7371 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7372 [Bodo Moeller]
7373
7374 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7375 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7376 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7377 and add new functions:
7378
7379 BN_nnmod
7380 BN_mod_sqr
7381 BN_mod_add
7382 BN_mod_add_quick
7383 BN_mod_sub
7384 BN_mod_sub_quick
7385 BN_mod_lshift1
7386 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7387 BN_mod_lshift
7388 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7389
7390 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7391
7392 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7393 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7394
7395 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7396 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7397 be reduced modulo m.
7398 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7399
7400 #if 0
7401 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7402 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7403 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7404
7405 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7406 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7407 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7408 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7409 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7410 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7411 differing sizes.
7412 [Richard Levitte]
7413 #endif
7414
7415 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7416 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7417 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7418 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7419 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7420
7421 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7422 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7423 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7424 cause any problems.
7425 [Bodo Moeller]
7426
7427 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7428 [Richard Levitte]
7429
7430 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7431 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7432 [Richard Levitte]
7433
7434 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7435 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7436 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7437 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7438 time)
7439 [Richard Levitte]
7440
7441 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7442 [Richard Levitte]
7443
7444 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7445 [Richard Levitte]
7446
7447 *) Add the following functions:
7448
7449 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7450 ENGINE_load_chil()
7451 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7452 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7453 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7454
7455 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7456 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7457 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7458 libraries unless it's really needed.
7459
7460 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7461 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7462 declarations (they differed!).
7463 [Richard Levitte]
7464
7465 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7466 [Richard Levitte]
7467
7468 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7469 [Richard Levitte]
7470
7471 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7472 [Bodo Moeller]
7473
7474 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7475 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7476 [Richard Levitte]
7477
7478 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7479 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7480 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7481
7482 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7483 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7484 [Richard Levitte]
7485
7486 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7487 [Richard Levitte]
7488
7489 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7490 [Richard Levitte]
7491
7492 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7493 [Ben Laurie]
7494
7495 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7496 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7497 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7498
7499 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7500 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7501 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7502 different shared library filenames on each system.
7503 [Geoff Thorpe]
7504
7505 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7506 [Richard Levitte]
7507
7508 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7509 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7510 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7511 of two sections.
7512 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7513
7514 *) NCONF changes.
7515 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7516 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7517 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7518 binary backward compatibility.
7519 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7520 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7521 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7522 LDAP server.
7523 [Richard Levitte]
7524
7525 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7526 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7527 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7528 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7529 this case.
7530 [Steve Henson]
7531
7532 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7533 [Ben Laurie]
7534
7535 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7536 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7537 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7538 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7539 set.
7540 [Steve Henson]
7541
7542 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7543 [Richard Levitte]
7544
7545 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7546
7547 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7548 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7549 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7550
7551 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7552
7553 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7554
7555 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7556 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7557 [Steve Henson]
7558
7559 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7560
7561 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7562
7563 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7564 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7565
7566 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7567 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7568
7569 [Steve Henson]
7570
7571 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7572 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7573 specifications.
7574 [Steve Henson]
7575
7576 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7577 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7578 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7579 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7580
7581 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7582 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7583 [Richard Levitte]
7584
7585 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7586
7587 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7588 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7589 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7590 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7591 [Bodo Moeller]
7592
7593 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7594 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7595 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7596 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7597 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7598
7599 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7600 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7601 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7602 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7603 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7604 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7605 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7606 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7607 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7608 [Bodo Moeller]
7609
7610 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7611
7612 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7613 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7614 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7615 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7616 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7617
7618 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7619 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7620 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7621
7622 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7623
7624 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7625 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7626 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7627 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7628 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7629 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7630 [Geoff Thorpe]
7631
7632 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7633 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7634 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7635 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7636 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7637 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7638
7639 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7640 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7641 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7642
7643 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7644 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7645 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7646 EVP_cleanup().
7647 [Richard Levitte]
7648
7649 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7650 being properly terminated.
7651 [Richard Levitte]
7652
7653 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7654 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7655 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7656 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7657
7658 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7659 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7660 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7661 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7662 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7663 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7664 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7665 change.
7666 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7667
7668 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7669 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7670 [Bodo Moeller]
7671
7672 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7673 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7674 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7675 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7676 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7677 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7678 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7679 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7680
7681 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7682 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7683 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7684 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7685 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7686
7687 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7688 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7689 [Steve Henson]
7690
7691 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7692
7693 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7694 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7695 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7696
7697 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7698
7699 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7700 and get fix the header length calculation.
7701 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7702 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7703 Steve Henson]
7704
7705 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7706 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7707 assertions could call abort()).
7708 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7709
7710 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7711
7712 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7713 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7714 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7715 supplied buffer.
7716 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7717
7718 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7719 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7720 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7721 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7722
7723 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7724 [Nils Larsch]
7725
7726 *) New option
7727 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7728 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7729 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7730
7731 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7732 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7733 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7734 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7735 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7736 applications.
7737 [Bodo Moeller]
7738
7739 *) Changes in security patch:
7740
7741 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7742 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7743 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7744 F30602-01-2-0537.
7745
7746 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7747 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7748 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7749 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7750 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7751
7752 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7753 happen in practice.
7754 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7755
7756 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7757 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7758 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7759
7760 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7761 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7762 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7763
7764 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7765 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7767
7768 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7769
7770 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7771 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7772 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7773
7774 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7775 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7776
7777 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7778 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7779 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7780 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7781 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7782 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7783 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7784
7785 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7786 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7787 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7788 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7789 [Bodo Moeller]
7790
7791 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7795 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7796 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7797 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7798 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7799 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7800
7801 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7802 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7803 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7804 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7805 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7806 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7807
7808 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7809 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7810 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7811 BN_generate_prime().)
7812
7813 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7814 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7815 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7816 better.
7817 [Bodo Moeller]
7818
7819 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7820 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7821 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7822
7823 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7824 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7825 when using non-blocking I/O.
7826 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7827
7828 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7829 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7830
7831 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7832 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7833 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7834
7835 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7836 configuration for the versions before that.
7837 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7838
7839 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7840 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7841 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7842 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7843 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7844
7845 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7846 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7847 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7848 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7849
7850 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7851 value is 0.
7852 [Richard Levitte]
7853
7854 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7855 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7856 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7857
7858 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7859 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7860
7861 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7862 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7863 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7864 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7865 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7866 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7867 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7868 session cache.
7869
7870 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7871 using a local variable.
7872 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7873
7874 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7875 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7876 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7877
7878 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7879 [Richard Levitte]
7880
7881 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7882 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7883
7884 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7885 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7886 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7887
7888 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7889
7890 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7891 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7892 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7893 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7894 [Bodo Moeller]
7895
7896 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7897 present.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7901 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7902 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7903 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7904 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7907 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7908 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7909
7910 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7911 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7912 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7913
7914 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7915 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7916 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7917 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7918
7919 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7920 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7921 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7922 modules).
7923 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7924
7925 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7926 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7927 from 0.9.7.
7928 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7929
7930 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7931 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7932 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7933 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7934
7935 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7936 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7937 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7938 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7939
7940 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7941 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7942
7943 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7944 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7945 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7946 [Bodo Moeller]
7947
7948 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7949 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7950 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7951 become invalid.
7952 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7953
7954 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7955 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7956 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7957 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7958 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7959 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7960 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7961 [Bodo Moeller]
7962
7963 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7964 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7965 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7966 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7967
7968 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7969 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7970 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7971 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7972 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7973 the client will at least see that alert.
7974 [Bodo Moeller]
7975
7976 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7977 correctly.
7978 [Bodo Moeller]
7979
7980 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7981 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7982 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7983
7984 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7985 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
7986 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7987 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7988 HelloRequest.
7989
7990 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7991 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7992 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7993
7994 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7995 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7996 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7997 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7998 may leak via logfiles.)
7999
8000 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8001 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8002 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8003 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8004 the legal range.
8005 [Bodo Moeller]
8006
8007 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8008 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8009 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8010
8011 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8012 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8013 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8014 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8015 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8016 [Bodo Moeller]
8017
8018 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8019 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8020
8021 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8022 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8023 followed by modular reduction.
8024 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8025
8026 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8027 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8028 [Bodo Moeller]
8029
8030 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8031 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8032 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8033 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8034 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8035
8036 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8037 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8038
8039 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8040 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8041 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8042
8043 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8044 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8045 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8046 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8047 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8048 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8049 automatically.
8050 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8051
8052 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8053 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8054 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8055 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8056 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8057
8058 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8059 [Andy Polyakov]
8060
8061 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8062 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8063 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8064 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8065 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8066 to allow the necessary settings.
8067 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8068
8069 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8070 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8071 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8072 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8073 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8074
8075 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8076 dh->length and always used
8077
8078 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8079
8080 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8081 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8082 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8083 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8084 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8085 dh->length.
8086
8087 So switch back to
8088
8089 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8090
8091 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8092 otherwise.
8093 [Bodo Moeller]
8094
8095 *) In
8096
8097 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8098 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8099 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8100 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8101
8102 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8103 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8104 always reject numbers >= n.
8105 [Bodo Moeller]
8106
8107 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8108 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8109 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8110 variable) is not atomic.
8111 [Bodo Moeller]
8112
8113 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8114 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8115 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8116 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8117
8118 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8119 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8120
8121 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8122 little-endian MIPS.
8123 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8124
8125 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8126 [Richard Levitte]
8127
8128 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8129
8130 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8131 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8132 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8133 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8134 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8135 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8136 to traverse all of 'state'.
8137
8138 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8139 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8140 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8141
8142 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8143 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8144
8145 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8146 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8147 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8148 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8149 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8150 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8151 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8152 further strengthens the PRNG.
8153 [Bodo Moeller]
8154
8155 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8156 [Andy Polyakov]
8157
8158 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8159 an error message in this case.
8160 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8161
8162 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8163 [Steve Henson]
8164
8165 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8166 positive and less than q.
8167 [Bodo Moeller]
8168
8169 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8170 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8171 that itself.
8172 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8173
8174 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8175 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8176 [Bodo Moeller]
8177
8178 *) Fix OAEP check.
8179 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8180
8181 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8182 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8183 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8184 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8185 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8186 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8187 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8188 paper.)
8189
8190 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8191 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8192 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8193 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8194
8195 Both problems are now fixed.
8196 [Bodo Moeller]
8197
8198 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8199 (previously it was 1024).
8200 [Bodo Moeller]
8201
8202 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8203 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8204 [Steve Henson]
8205
8206 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8207 [Steve Henson]
8208
8209 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8210 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8211 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8212 [Steve Henson]
8213
8214 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8215 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8216 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8217 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8218 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8219 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8220 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8221 environment variables.
8222
8223 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8224 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8225 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8226 [Bodo Moeller]
8227
8228 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8229 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8230 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8231 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8232 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8233 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8234 [Bodo Moeller]
8235
8236 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8237 versions of 'test'.
8238 [Bodo Moeller]
8239
8240 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8241
8242 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8243 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8244
8245 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8246 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8247 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8248 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8249 CygWin.
8250 [Richard Levitte]
8251
8252 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8253 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8254 amount of data available.
8255 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8256 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8257
8258 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8259 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8260 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8261 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8262 [Bodo Moeller]
8263
8264 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8265 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8266 and UnixWare.
8267 [Richard Levitte]
8268
8269 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8270 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8271 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8272 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8273 [Ulf Moeller]
8274
8275 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8276 [Andy Polyakov]
8277
8278 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8279 [Richard Levitte]
8280
8281 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8282 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8283 [Steve Henson]
8284 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8285
8286 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8287 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8288 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8289 (but broken) behaviour.
8290 [Steve Henson]
8291
8292 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8293 it when found.
8294 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8295
8296 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8297 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8298 [Bodo Moeller]
8299
8300 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8301 did not exist.
8302 [Bodo Moeller]
8303
8304 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8305 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8306
8307 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8308 [Richard Levitte]
8309
8310 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8311 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8312 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8313
8314 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8315 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8316 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8317 [Steve Henson]
8318
8319 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8320 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8321 [Ulf Moeller]
8322
8323 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8324 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8325
8326 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8327
8328 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8329
8330 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8331 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8332 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8333 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8334 [Bodo Moeller]
8335
8336 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8337 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8338
8339 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8340 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8341 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8342
8343 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8344 was empty.
8345 [Steve Henson]
8346 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8347
8348 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8349 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8350 but the code is actually correct.
8351 [Steve Henson]
8352
8353 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8354 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8355 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8356 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8357 and leaves the highest bit random.
8358 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8359
8360 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8361 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8362 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8363 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8364 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8365 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8366 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8367 [Bodo Moeller]
8368
8369 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8370 [Ulf Moeller]
8371
8372 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8373 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8374 [Steve Henson]
8375
8376 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8377 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8378 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8379 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8380 headers.
8381 [Richard Levitte]
8382
8383 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8384 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8385 and break the signature.
8386 [Steve Henson]
8387 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8388
8389 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8390 DH ciphersuites.
8391 [Steve Henson]
8392
8393 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8394 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8395 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8396 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8397 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8398 [Bodo Moeller]
8399
8400 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8401 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8402
8403 *) ./config script fixes.
8404 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8405
8406 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8407 [Bodo Moeller]
8408
8409 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8410 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8411 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8412 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8413 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8414
8415 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8416 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8417 [Bodo Moeller]
8418
8419 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8420 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8421 [Steve Henson]
8422
8423 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8424 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8425 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8426 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8427
8428 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8429 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8430
8431 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8432 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8433 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8434 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8435 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8436
8437 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8438 [Bodo Moeller]
8439
8440 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8441 [Ulf Möller]
8442
8443 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8444 [Ulf Möller]
8445
8446 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8447 [Bodo Moeller]
8448
8449 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8450 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8451 [Bodo Moeller]
8452
8453 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8454 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8455 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8456 result of the server certificate verification.)
8457 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8458
8459 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8460 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8461 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8462 [Bodo Moeller]
8463
8464 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8465 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8466 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8467 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8468 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8469 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8470 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8471 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8472 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8473 [Bodo Moeller]
8474
8475 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8476 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8477 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8478 happening the other way round.
8479 [Geoff Thorpe]
8480
8481 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8482 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8483 [Bodo Moeller]
8484
8485 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8486 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8487 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8488 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8489 [Richard Levitte]
8490
8491 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8492 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8493
8494 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8495
8496 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8497 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8498 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8499 that.
8500
8501 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8502
8503 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8504
8505 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8506 static ones.
8507 [Richard Levitte]
8508
8509 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8510
8511 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8512 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8513 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8514 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8515 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8516
8517 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8518 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8519 matter what.
8520 [Richard Levitte]
8521
8522 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8523 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8524
8525 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8526
8527 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8528 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8529 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8530 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8531 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8532 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8533 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8534 by the Finished messages.
8535 [Bodo Moeller]
8536
8537 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8538 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8539
8540 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8541 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8542 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8543 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8544 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8545 appropriately.
8546 [Steve Henson]
8547
8548 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8549 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8550 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8551 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8552 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8553 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8554 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8555 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8556 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8557 together.
8558 [Steve Henson]
8559
8560 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8561 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8562 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8563 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8564
8565 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8566 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8567 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8568 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8569 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8570 the answer.
8571
8572 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8573 been tested well enough.
8574 [Richard Levitte]
8575
8576 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8577 it can return incorrect results.
8578 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8579 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8580 [Bodo Moeller]
8581
8582 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8583 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8584 include zero length content when signing messages.
8585 [Steve Henson]
8586
8587 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8588 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8589 [Bodo Möller]
8590
8591 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8592 [Richard Levitte]
8593
8594 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8595 wrong sign.
8596 [Ulf Möller]
8597
8598 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8599 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8600 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8601 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8602 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8603 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8604 [Richard Levitte]
8605
8606 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8607 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8608
8609 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8610 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8611
8612 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8613 random number < q in the DSA library.
8614 [Ulf Möller]
8615
8616 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8617 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8618 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8619 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8620 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8621 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8622 just makes things more complicated.)
8623 [Bodo Moeller]
8624
8625 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8626 from EGD.
8627 [Ben Laurie]
8628
8629 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8630 work better on such systems.
8631 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8632
8633 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8634 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8635 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8636 [Steve Henson]
8637
8638 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8639 if there was more than one signature.
8640 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8641
8642 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8643 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8644 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8645 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8646 [Richard Levitte]
8647
8648 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8649 rather than always using the current time.
8650 [Steve Henson]
8651
8652 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8653 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8654 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8655 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8656 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8657 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8658
8659 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8660 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8661
8662 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8663
8664 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8665 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8666 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8667 the same hash value.
8668
8669 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8670 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8671 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8672 with X509_STORE internally.
8673
8674 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8675 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8676
8677 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8678 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8679 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8680 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8681 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8682 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8683 entirely (maybe later...).
8684
8685 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8686
8687 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8688 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8689 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8690 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8691 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8692 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8693 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8694 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8695
8696 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8697 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8698
8699 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8700 to customise the verify behaviour.
8701 [Steve Henson]
8702
8703 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8704 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8705 [Steve Henson]
8706
8707 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8708 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8709 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8710 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8711 request is improperly encoded.
8712 [Steve Henson]
8713
8714 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8715 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8716 BIO_write(b, ...).
8717
8718 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8719 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8720
8721 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8722 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8723 words set to zero.)
8724 [Bodo Moeller]
8725
8726 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8727 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8728 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8729 [Bodo Moeller]
8730
8731 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8732 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8733 BIO/fp routines also added.
8734 [Steve Henson]
8735
8736 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8737 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8738
8739 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8740 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8741 demos/state_machine.
8742 [Ben Laurie]
8743
8744 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8745 generation and verification.
8746 [Steve Henson]
8747
8748 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8749 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8750 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8751 encode and decode it manually.
8752 [Steve Henson]
8753
8754 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8755 compile under VC++.
8756 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8757
8758 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8759 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8760 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8761 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8762
8763 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8764 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8765 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8766 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8767 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8771 [Richard Levitte]
8772
8773 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8774 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8775 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8776
8777 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8778 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8779 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8780 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8781 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8782 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8783 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8784 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8785
8786 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8787 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8788
8789 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8790
8791 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8792 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8793 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8794
8795 [Richard Levitte]
8796
8797 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8798 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8799 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8800 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8801 [Richard Levitte]
8802
8803 *) MD4 implemented.
8804 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8805
8806 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8807 [Richard Levitte]
8808
8809 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8810 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8811 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8812 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8813 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8814 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8815 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8816 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8817 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8818 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8819 short or long names are found.
8820 [Steve Henson]
8821
8822 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8823 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8824
8825 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8826 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8827 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8828 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8829
8830 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8831 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8832 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8833 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8834 [Bodo Moeller]
8835
8836 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8837 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8838 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8839 [Richard Levitte]
8840
8841 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8842 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8843 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8844 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8845 to allow the various flags to be set.
8846 [Steve Henson]
8847
8848 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8849 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8850 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8851 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8852 dates to be checked.
8853 [Steve Henson]
8854
8855 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8856 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8857 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8858 [Steve Henson]
8859
8860 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8861 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8862 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8863 [Steve Henson]
8864
8865 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8866 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8867 [Bodo Moeller]
8868
8869 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8870 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8871 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8872 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8873 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8874 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8875 [Richard Levitte]
8876
8877 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8878 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8879 Random Numbers.
8880 [Ulf Möller]
8881
8882 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8883 DSA key.
8884 [Steve Henson]
8885
8886 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8887 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8888 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8889 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8890 form signing output easier to verify.
8891 [Steve Henson]
8892
8893 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8894 [Steve Henson]
8895
8896 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8897 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8898 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8899 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8900 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8901 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8902 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8903 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8904 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8905 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8906 [Steve Henson]
8907
8908 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8909
8910 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8911 the syntax given in objects.README.
8912 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8913 obj_mac.h.
8914 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8915 obj_mac.h.
8916
8917 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8918 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8919 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8920 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8921 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8922 consistent name changes.
8923 [Richard Levitte]
8924
8925 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8926 [Bodo Moeller]
8927
8928 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8929 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8930 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8931 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8932 [Richard Levitte]
8933
8934 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8935 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8936 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8937 of safestack.h .
8938 [Steve Henson]
8939
8940 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8941 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8942 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8943 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8944 [Steve Henson]
8945
8946 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8947 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8948 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8949 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8950 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8951 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8952 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8953 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8954 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8955 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8956 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8957 [Steve Henson]
8958
8959 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8960 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8961 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8962 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8963 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8964 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8965 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8966 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8967 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8968 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8972 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8973 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8974 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8975
8976 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8977 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8978 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8979 omit any duplicate addresses.
8980 [Steve Henson]
8981
8982 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8983 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8984 [Bodo Moeller]
8985
8986 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8987 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8988 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8989 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8990 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8991 [Bodo Moeller]
8992
8993 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8994 software:
8995 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8996 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8997 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8998 Free => OPENSSL_free
8999 [Richard Levitte]
9000
9001 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9002 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9003 [Bodo Moeller]
9004
9005 *) CygWin32 support.
9006 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9007
9008 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9009 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9010 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9011 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9012 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9013 approach.
9014 [Geoff Thorpe]
9015
9016 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9017 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9018 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9019 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9020 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9021 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9022 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9023 [Geoff Thorpe]
9024
9025 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9026 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9027 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9028 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9029 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9030 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9031 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9032 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9033 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9034 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9035 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9036 [Bodo Moeller]
9037
9038 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9039 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9040 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9041 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9042 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9043
9044 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9045 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9046 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9047 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9048 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9049
9050 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9051 ciphers.
9052
9053 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9054 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9055 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9056 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9057
9058 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9059
9060 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9061 of macros.
9062
9063 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9064 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9065 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9066 flags.
9067
9068 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9069 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9070 any installed hardware versions can.
9071 [Steve Henson]
9072
9073 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9074 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9075 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9076 number.
9077 [Bodo Moeller]
9078
9079 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9080 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9081 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9082 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9083 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9084
9085 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9086 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9087 [Steve Henson]
9088
9089 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9090 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9091 [Richard Levitte]
9092
9093 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9094 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9095 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9096 features.
9097 [Steve Henson]
9098
9099 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9100 [Ulf Möller]
9101
9102 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9103 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9104 but no ssl client purpose.
9105 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9106
9107 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9108 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9109 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9110 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9111 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9112 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9113 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9114 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9115 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9116 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9117 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9118 [Steve Henson]
9119
9120 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9121 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9122 be obtained from the error queue.
9123 [Bodo Moeller]
9124
9125 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9126 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9127 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9128 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9129 [Bodo Moeller]
9130
9131 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9132 [Ulf Möller]
9133
9134 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9135 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9136 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9137 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9138 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9139 [Geoff Thorpe]
9140
9141 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9142 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9143 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9144 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9145 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9146 [Geoff Thorpe]
9147
9148 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9149 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9150 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9151 may not be NULL.
9152 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9153
9154 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9155 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9156 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9157 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9158 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9159 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9160 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9161 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9162 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9163 or "the configuration storage API"...
9164
9165 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9166
9167 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9168 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9169
9170 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9171
9172 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9173
9174 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9175 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9176 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9177 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9178 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9179 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9180 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9181
9182 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9183 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9184 [Richard Levitte]
9185
9186 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9187 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9188 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9189 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9190 [Bodo Moeller]
9191
9192 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9193 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9194 them in a portable way.
9195 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9196
9197 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9198
9199 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9200
9201 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9202 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9203
9204 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9205 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9206 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9207 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9208
9209 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9210 was larger than the MD block size.
9211 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9212
9213 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9214 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9215 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9216 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9217 components.
9218 [Steve Henson]
9219
9220 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9221 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9222 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9223
9224 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9225 discouraged.
9226 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9227
9228 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9229 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9230 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9231 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9232 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9233 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9234
9235 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9236 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9237
9238 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9239 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9240 [Bodo Moeller]
9241
9242 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9243 [Bodo Moeller]
9244
9245 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9246 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9247 its own key.
9248 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9249 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9250 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9251 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9252 [Bodo Moeller]
9253
9254 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9255 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9256 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9257 does not suppress any output.
9258 [Richard Levitte]
9259
9260 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9261 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9262 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9263 with all the associated security issues.
9264
9265 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9266 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9267 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9268 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9269 use the value in the default purpose.
9270 [Steve Henson]
9271
9272 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9273 and fix a memory leak.
9274 [Steve Henson]
9275
9276 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9277 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9278 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9279 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9280 [Bodo Moeller]
9281
9282 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9283 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9284 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9285 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9286 [Bodo Moeller]
9287
9288 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9289 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9290 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9291 [Bodo Moeller]
9292
9293 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9294 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9295 [Bodo Moeller]
9296
9297 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9298 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9299 which was free.
9300 [Steve Henson]
9301
9302 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9303 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9304 [Bodo Moeller]
9305
9306 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9307 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9308 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9309 [Bodo Moeller]
9310
9311 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9312 number generation fails.
9313 [Bodo Moeller]
9314
9315 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9316 [Bodo Moeller]
9317
9318 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9319 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9320
9321 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9322 [Ulf Möller]
9323
9324 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9325 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9326
9327 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9328 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9329
9330 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9331
9332 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9333 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9334 [Steve Henson]
9335
9336 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9337 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9338
9339 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9340 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9341 [Ulf Möller]
9342
9343 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9344 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9345 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9346 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9347 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9348 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9349
9350 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9351 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9352 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9353 for example.
9354 [Steve Henson]
9355
9356 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9357 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9358 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9359 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9360 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9361 counter, some don't.)
9362 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9363 counters or duplicate objects.
9364 [Steve Henson]
9365
9366 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9367 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9368 [Steve Henson]
9369
9370 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9371 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9372 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9373
9374 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9375 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9376 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9377 or -rand.
9378 [Ulf Möller]
9379
9380 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9381 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9382 [Steve Henson]
9383
9384 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9385 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9386 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9387 cipher list.
9388 [Steve Henson]
9389
9390 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9391 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9392 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9393 [Steve Henson]
9394
9395 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9396 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9397 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9398 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9399 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9400 should work without changes.
9401 [Richard Levitte]
9402
9403 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9404 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9405 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9406 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9407 must be defined. E.g.,
9408 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9409 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9410 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9411 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9412
9413 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9414 record layer.
9415 [Bodo Moeller]
9416
9417 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9418 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9419 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9420 [Steve Henson]
9421
9422 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9423 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9424 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9425 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9426 [Steve Henson]
9427
9428 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9429 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9430 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9431 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9432 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9433 is prompted for as usual.
9434 [Steve Henson]
9435
9436 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9437 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9438 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9439 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9440
9441 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9442 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9443 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9444 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9445 [Steve Henson]
9446
9447 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9448 [Andy Polyakov]
9449
9450 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9451 of seed file.
9452 [Steve Henson]
9453
9454 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9455 [Bodo Moeller]
9456
9457 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9458 [Steve Henson]
9459
9460 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9461 bits.
9462 [Ulf Möller]
9463
9464 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9465 [Ulf Möller]
9466
9467 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9468 [Andy Polyakov]
9469
9470 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9471 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9472 [Ulf Möller]
9473
9474 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9475 options to produce them.
9476 [Steve Henson]
9477
9478 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9479 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9480 [Ulf Möller]
9481
9482 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9483 for p == 0.
9484 [Ulf Möller]
9485
9486 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9487 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9488 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9489 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9490 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9491 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9492 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9493 [Steve Henson]
9494
9495 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9496 [Steve Henson]
9497
9498 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9499 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9500 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9501 [Bodo Moeller]
9502
9503 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9504 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9505
9506 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9507 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9508 [Ulf Möller]
9509
9510 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9511 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9512 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9513 has already seen).
9514 [Bodo Moeller]
9515
9516 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9517 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9518
9519 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9520 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9521 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9522 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9523 generation becomes much faster.
9524
9525 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9526 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9527 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9528 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9529 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9530 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9531 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9532 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9533 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9534 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9535 [Bodo Moeller]
9536
9537 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9538 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9539 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9540 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9541 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9542 trial division stage.
9543 [Bodo Moeller]
9544
9545 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9546 as ASN1_TIME.
9547 [Steve Henson]
9548
9549 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9550 [Steve Henson]
9551
9552 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9553 [Ulf Möller]
9554
9555 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9556 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9557 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9558 the comments.
9559 [Ulf Möller]
9560
9561 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9562 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9563 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9564 [Bodo Moeller]
9565
9566 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9567 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9568 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9569 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9570
9571 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9572 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9573 [Steve Henson]
9574
9575 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9576 [Ulf Möller]
9577
9578 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9579 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9580 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9581 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9582 [Ulf Möller]
9583
9584 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9585 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9586 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9587 [Ulf Möller]
9588
9589 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9590 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9591 (instead of parameters) in future.
9592 [Steve Henson]
9593
9594 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9595 when a new cipher list is set.
9596 [Steve Henson]
9597
9598 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9599 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9600 wrong.
9601
9602 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9603 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9604 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9605
9606 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9607 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9608 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9609 an error is flagged.
9610
9611 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9612 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9613 the readability was also increased :-)
9614 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9615
9616 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9617 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9618 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9619 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9620 as the root CA.
9621 [Steve Henson]
9622
9623 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9624 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9625 [Steve Henson]
9626
9627 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9628 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9629 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9630 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9631 instead.
9632
9633 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9634 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9635 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9636 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9637 because they handle more complex structures.)
9638 [Steve Henson]
9639
9640 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9641 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9642 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9643 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9644
9645 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9646 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9647 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9648 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9649 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9650 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9651 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9652 [Ulf Möller]
9653
9654 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9655 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9656 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9657 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9658 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9659 [Bodo Moeller]
9660
9661 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9662 [Bodo Moeller]
9663
9664 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9665 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9666 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9667 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9668 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9669 to use this.
9670
9671 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9672 code.
9673 [Steve Henson]
9674
9675 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9676 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9677 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9678 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9679 [Steve Henson]
9680
9681 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9682 [Ulf Möller]
9683
9684 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9685 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9686 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9687 international characters are used.
9688
9689 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9690 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9691 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9692 in ASN1 order.
9693 [Steve Henson]
9694
9695 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9696 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9697 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9698 request.
9699
9700 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9701 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9702 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9703 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9704 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9705 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9706
9707 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9708 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9709 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9710 be handled by the string table functions.
9711
9712 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9713 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9714 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9715 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9716 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9717 types at all.
9718 [Steve Henson]
9719
9720 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9721 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9722 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9723 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9724 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9725
9726 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9727 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9728 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9729 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9730 [Bodo Moeller]
9731
9732 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9733 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9734 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9735 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9736 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9737 SHA1.
9738 [Andy Polyakov]
9739
9740 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9741 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9742 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9743 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9744 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9745 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9746 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9747 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9748
9749 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9750 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9751 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9752 [Steve Henson]
9753
9754 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9755 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9756 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9757 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9758 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9759 support to pkcs8 application.
9760 [Steve Henson]
9761
9762 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9763 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9764 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9765 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9766 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9767 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9768 [Bodo Moeller]
9769
9770 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9771 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9772 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9773 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9774 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9775 consistency.
9776 [Bodo Moeller]
9777
9778 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9779 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9780 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9781 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9782 example.
9783 [Steve Henson]
9784
9785 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9786 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9787 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9788 and any application specific purposes.
9789
9790 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9791 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9792 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9793 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9794 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9795 if the certificate is self signed.
9796 [Steve Henson]
9797
9798 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9799 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9800 [Steve Henson]
9801
9802 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9803 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9804 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9805 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9806 [Steve Henson]
9807
9808 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9809 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9810 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9811 Update documentation.
9812 [Steve Henson]
9813
9814 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9815 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9816 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9817 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9818 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9819 [Steve Henson]
9820
9821 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9822 for details.
9823 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9824
9825 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9826 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9827 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9828 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9829 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9830 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9831 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9832 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9833 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9834 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9835
9836 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9837
9838 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9839 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9840 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9841 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9842 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9843
9844 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9845 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9846 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9847 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9848 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9849 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9850 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9851 request additional information:
9852 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9853 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9854
9855 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9856 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9857 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9858 options.
9859
9860 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9861 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9862
9863 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9864 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9865 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9866
9867 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9868 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9869
9870 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9871 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9872 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9873 algorithm.
9874 [Steve Henson]
9875
9876 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9877 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9878 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9879
9880 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9881 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9882 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9883 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9884 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9885 included in OpenSSL.
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9889 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9890 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9891 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9892 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9893 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9894 [Bodo Moeller]
9895
9896 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9897 PKCS12 structure.
9898 [Steve Henson]
9899
9900 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9901 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9902 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9903 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9904 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9905 structure.
9906 [Steve Henson]
9907
9908 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9909 need initialising.
9910 [Steve Henson]
9911
9912 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9913 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9914 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9915 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9916 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9917 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9918 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9919 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9920 be maintained manually.
9921
9922 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9923 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9924 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9925 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9926 work because people forget to call this function]
9927 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9928 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9929 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9933 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9934 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9935 should be discouraged from doing it.
9936 [Ben Laurie]
9937
9938 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9939 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9940 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9941 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9942 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9943 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9944 [Steve Henson]
9945
9946 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9947 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9948 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9949
9950 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9951 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9952 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9953
9954 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9955 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9956 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9957 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9958 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9959 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9960
9961 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9962 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9963 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9964
9965 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9966 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9967 and vice versa.
9968
9969 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9970 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9971 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9972 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9973 [Steve Henson]
9974
9975 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9976 [Steve Henson]
9977
9978 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9979 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9980 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9981 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9982 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9983 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9984 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9985 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9986 keys so we should be OK.
9987
9988 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9989 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9990 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9991 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9992 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9993 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9994 stay in the name of compatibility.
9995
9996 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9997 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9998 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9999
10000 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10001 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10002 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10003 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10004 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10005 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10006 supplied key).
10007 [Steve Henson]
10008
10009 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10010 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10011 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10012 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10013 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10014 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10015 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10016 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10017 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10018 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10019 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10020 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10021 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10022 [Steve Henson]
10023
10024 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10025 [Steve Henson]
10026
10027 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10028 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10029 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10030 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10031 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10032 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10033 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10034 openssl verify ss.pem
10035 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10036 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10037 is OK.
10038 [Steve Henson]
10039
10040 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10041 (and add it to external session representation).
10042 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10043 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10044 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10045 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10046 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10047 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10048 security holes.
10049 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10050
10051 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10052 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10053 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10054 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10055
10056 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10057 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10058 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10059 [Steve Henson]
10060
10061 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10062 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10063 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10064 code.
10065 [Steve Henson]
10066
10067 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10068 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10069 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10070
10071 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10072 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10073 certificate auxiliary information.
10074 [Steve Henson]
10075
10076 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10077 the 'enc' command.
10078 [Steve Henson]
10079
10080 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10081 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10082 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10083 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10084 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10085 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10086 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10087 [Richard Levitte]
10088
10089 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10090 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10091 [Steve Henson]
10092
10093 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10094 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10095 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10096 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10097 [Steve Henson]
10098
10099 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10100 [Steve Henson]
10101
10102 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10103 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10104 [Steve Henson]
10105
10106 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10107 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10108 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10109 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10110 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10111 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10112 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10113 using the new 'x509' options.
10114
10115 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10116 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10117 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10118 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10119 for all purposes.
10120 [Steve Henson]
10121
10122 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10123 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10124 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10125 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10126 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10127 [Mark Cox]
10128
10129 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10130 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10131 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10132 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10133 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10134 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10135 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10136 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10137 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10138 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10139 [Steve Henson]
10140
10141 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10142 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10143 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10144 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10145 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10146 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10147 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10148 [Steve Henson]
10149
10150 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10151 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10152 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10153 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10154 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10155 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10156 openssl.cnf for more info.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10160 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10161 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10162 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10163 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10164 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10165 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10166 md should be large enough anyway.
10167 [Bodo Moeller]
10168
10169 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10170 for handling the random seed file.
10171
10172 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10173 ca,
10174 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10175 s_client,
10176 s_server,
10177 x509 (when signing).
10178 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10179 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10180 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10181
10182 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10183 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10184 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10185 that support '-rand'.
10186 [Bodo Moeller]
10187
10188 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10189 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10190 [Bodo Moeller]
10191
10192 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10193 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10194 [Bill Perry]
10195
10196 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10197 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10198 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10199 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10200 is suitable.
10201 [Steve Henson]
10202
10203 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10204 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10205 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10206 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10207 [Steve Henson]
10208
10209 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10210 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10211 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10212 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10213 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10214 print out all the purposes.
10215 [Steve Henson]
10216
10217 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10218 functions.
10219 [Steve Henson]
10220
10221 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10222 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10223 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10224 single function call.
10225 [Steve Henson]
10226
10227 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10228 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10229 [Andy Polyakov]
10230
10231 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10232 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10233 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10234 [Steve Henson]
10235
10236 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10237 when producing the local key id.
10238 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10239
10240 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10241 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10242 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10243 "server.pem".
10244 [Steve Henson]
10245
10246 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10247 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10248 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10249 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10250 [Steve Henson]
10251
10252 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10253 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10254 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10255 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10256
10257 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10258 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10259 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10260 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10261
10262 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10263 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10264 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10265 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10266 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10267 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10268 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10269 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10270 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10271 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10272 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10273 trivial: move one line.
10274 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10275
10276 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10277 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10278 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10279 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10280 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10281 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10282 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10283 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10284 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10285 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10286 with an event loop for example.
10287 [Steve Henson]
10288
10289 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10290 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10291 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10292 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10293 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10294 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10295 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10296 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10297 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10298 [Steve Henson]
10299
10300 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10301 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10302 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10303 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10304 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10305 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10309 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10310 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10311 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10312
10313 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10314 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10315 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10316 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10317 key generation.
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10321 (still largely untested)
10322 [Bodo Moeller]
10323
10324 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10325 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10326 [Steve Henson]
10327
10328 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10329 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10330 [Steve Henson]
10331
10332 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10333 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10334 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10335 [Bodo Moeller]
10336
10337 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10338 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10339 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10340 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10341 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10342 [Steve Henson]
10343
10344 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10345 [Andy Polyakov]
10346
10347 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10348 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10349 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10350 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10351 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10352 in ca.
10353 [Steve Henson]
10354
10355 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10356 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10357 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10358 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10359 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10360 [Steve Henson]
10361
10362 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10363 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10364 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10365 are otherwise ignored at present.
10366 [Steve Henson]
10367
10368 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10369 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10370 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10371 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10372 copied until the next read.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10376 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10377 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10378 [Steve Henson]
10379
10380 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10381 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10382 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10383 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10384 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10385 associated functions.
10386 [Steve Henson]
10387
10388 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10389 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10390 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10391 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10392 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10393 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10394 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10395 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10396 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10397 memory BIOs.
10398 [Steve Henson]
10399
10400 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10401 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10402 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10403 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10404 [Bodo Moeller]
10405
10406 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10407 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10408 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10409 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10410 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10411 functionality.
10412 [Steve Henson]
10413
10414 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10415 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10416 under Win32.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10420 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10421 extensions to be obtained and added.
10422 [Steve Henson]
10423
10424 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10425 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10426 [Bodo Moeller]
10427
10428 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10429
10430 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10432
10433 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10434 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10435
10436 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10437 program.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10441 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10442 DH parameters contain its length).
10443
10444 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10445 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10446 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10447 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10448 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10449 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10450 utter importance to use
10451 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10452 or
10453 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10454 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10455 attacks may become possible!
10456 [Bodo Moeller]
10457
10458 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10459 [Bodo Moeller]
10460
10461 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10462 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10466 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10467 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10468 or long name.
10469 [Steve Henson]
10470
10471 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10472 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10473 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10474 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10475 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10476 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10477 private key operations.
10478 [Steve Henson]
10479
10480 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10481 [Andy Polyakov]
10482
10483 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10484 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10485 to
10486 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10487 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10488 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10489 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10490 the password callback is called.
10491 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10492
10493 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10494
10495 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10496 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10497 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10498 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10499 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10500 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10501 this will work.
10502
10503 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10504 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10505 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10506 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10507 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10508 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10509 [Bodo Moeller]
10510
10511 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10512 [Andy Polyakov]
10513
10514 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10515 delete an unused file.
10516 [Ulf Möller]
10517
10518 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10519 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10520 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10521 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10522 [Steve Henson]
10523
10524 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10525 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10526 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10527 of an error.
10528 [Bodo Moeller]
10529
10530 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10531 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10532 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10533
10534 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10535 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10536 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10537 comparison" warnings.
10538 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10539 [Steve Henson]
10540
10541 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10542 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10543 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10544 [Steve Henson]
10545
10546 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10547 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10548
10549 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10550 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10551
10552 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10553 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10554 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10555
10556 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10557 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10558 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10559 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10560 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10561 this bug.
10562 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10563
10564 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10565 The interface is as follows:
10566 Applications can use
10567 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10568 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10569 "off" is now the default.
10570 The library internally uses
10571 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10572 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10573 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10574
10575 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10576 even the default) are now avoided.
10577
10578 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10579 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10580 than just having a counter.
10581
10582 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10583
10584 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10585 extensions.
10586 [Bodo Moeller]
10587
10588 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10589 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10590 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10591 Initial "mode" flags are:
10592
10593 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10594 a single record has been written.
10595 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10596 retries use the same buffer location.
10597 (But all of the contents must be
10598 copied!)
10599 [Bodo Moeller]
10600
10601 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10602 worked.
10603
10604 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10605 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10606
10607 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10608 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10609 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10610 [Steve Henson]
10611
10612 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10613 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10614 test programs.
10615 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10616
10617 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10618 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10619 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10620 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10621 point to the end.
10622 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10623 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10624
10625 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10626 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10627 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10628 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10629 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10630 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10631 [Steve Henson]
10632
10633 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10634 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10635 necessary function names.
10636 [Steve Henson]
10637
10638 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10639 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10640 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10641 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10642 [Bodo Moeller]
10643
10644 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10645 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10646 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10647 [Steve Henson]
10648
10649 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10650 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10651 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10652 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10653 such programs?)
10654 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10655 need locks.
10656 [Bodo Moeller]
10657
10658 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10659 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10660 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10661 [Bodo Moeller]
10662
10663 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10664 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10665 appropriate.
10666 [Bodo Moeller]
10667
10668 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10669 for the encoded length.
10670 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10671
10672 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10673 [Steve Henson]
10674
10675 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10676 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10677 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10678 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10679 [Steve Henson]
10680
10681 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10682 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10683 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10684
10685 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10686 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10687 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10688 unusual formatting.
10689 [Steve Henson]
10690
10691 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10692 to use the new extension code.
10693 [Steve Henson]
10694
10695 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10696 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10697 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10698 constant.
10699 [Steve Henson]
10700
10701 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10702 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10703 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10704 [Bodo Moeller]
10705
10706 #if 0
10707 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10708 [Ben Laurie]
10709 #else
10710 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10711 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10712 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10713 #endif
10714
10715 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10716 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10717 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10718 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10719 [Ben Laurie]
10720
10721 *) DES library cleanups.
10722 [Ulf Möller]
10723
10724 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10725 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10726 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10727 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10728 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10729 of v2.0.
10730 [Steve Henson]
10731
10732 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10733 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10734 [Bodo Moeller]
10735
10736 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10737 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10738 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10739 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10740 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10741 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10742 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10743 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10744 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10745 [Steve Henson]
10746
10747 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10748 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10749 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10750 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10751 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10752 value doesn't matter.
10753 [Steve Henson]
10754
10755 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10756 support mutable.
10757 [Ben Laurie]
10758
10759 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10760 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10761 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10762 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10763
10764 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10765 [Ulf Möller]
10766
10767 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10768 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10769 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10770
10771 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10772 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10773
10774 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10775 [Ben Laurie]
10776
10777 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10778 [Ben Laurie]
10779
10780 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10781 [Ben Laurie]
10782
10783 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10784 [Bodo Moeller]
10785
10786
10787 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10788
10789 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10790
10791 *) Updated some demos.
10792 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10793
10794 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10795 [Wu Zhigang]
10796
10797 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10798 [Steve Henson]
10799
10800 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10801 [Steve Henson]
10802
10803 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10804 instead of using a fixed path.
10805 [Bodo Moeller]
10806
10807 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10808 [Andy Polyakov]
10809
10810 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10811 [Richard Levitte]
10812
10813
10814 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10815
10816 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10817 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10818 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10819
10820 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10821 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10822 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10823 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10824 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10825 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10826 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10827 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10828 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10829 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10830 [Steve Henson]
10831
10832 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10833 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10834 [Steve Henson]
10835
10836 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10837 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10838 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10839 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10840 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10841
10842 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10843 [Bodo Moeller]
10844
10845 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10846 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10847 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10848 [Steve Henson]
10849
10850 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10851 [Ben Laurie]
10852
10853 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10854 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10855 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10856 key elements as negative integers.
10857 [Steve Henson]
10858
10859 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10860 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10861
10862 *) VMS support.
10863 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10864
10865 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10866 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10867 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10868 [Steve Henson]
10869
10870 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10871 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10872 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10873 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10874 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10875 [Bodo Moeller]
10876
10877 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10878 [Ulf Möller]
10879
10880 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10881 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10882 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10884
10885 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10886 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10887 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10888
10889 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10890 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10891 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10892 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10893 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10894 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10895 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10896 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10897 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10898
10899 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10900 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10901 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10902 does not influence s as it used to.
10903
10904 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10905 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10906 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10907 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10908 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10909 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10910 [Bodo Moeller]
10911
10912 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10913 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10914 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10915 key type.
10916 [Steve Henson]
10917
10918 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10919 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10920 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10921 and 'x509').
10922 [Steve Henson]
10923
10924 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10925 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10926 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10927 extension option.
10928 [Steve Henson]
10929
10930 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10931 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10932 [Ben Laurie]
10933
10934 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10935 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10936
10937 *) Support Mingw32.
10938 [Ulf Möller]
10939
10940 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10941 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10942
10943 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10944 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10945
10946 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10947 [Ulf Möller]
10948
10949 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10950 [Anonymous]
10951
10952 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10953 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10954
10955 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10956 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10957 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10958 DER-encoded.)
10959 [Bodo Moeller]
10960
10961 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10962 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10963 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10964 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10965 now it really counts the depth.
10966 [Bodo Moeller]
10967
10968 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10969 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10970 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10971 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10972 didn't match the private key).
10973
10974 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10975 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10976 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10977 [Bodo Moeller]
10978
10979 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10980 [Ulf Möller]
10981
10982 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10983 David Harris.
10984 [Bodo Moeller]
10985
10986 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10987 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10988 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10989 [Bodo Moeller]
10990
10991 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10992 [Bodo Moeller]
10993
10994 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10995 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10996 such as /usr/local/bin.
10997 [Bodo Moeller]
10998
10999 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11000 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11001
11002 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11003 [Ulf Möller]
11004
11005 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11006 extension adding in x509 utility.
11007 [Steve Henson]
11008
11009 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11010 [Ulf Möller]
11011
11012 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11013 prototypes.
11014 [Steve Henson]
11015
11016 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11017 [Ulf Möller]
11018
11019 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11020 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11021 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11022 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11023 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11024 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11025 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11026 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11027 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11028 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11029 [Steve Henson]
11030
11031 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11032 [Bodo Moeller]
11033
11034 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11035 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11036 [Bodo Moeller]
11037
11038 *) Fix some race conditions.
11039 [Bodo Moeller]
11040
11041 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11042 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11046 [Ulf Möller]
11047
11048 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11049 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11050 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11051 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11052
11053 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11054 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11055
11056 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11057 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11058 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11059
11060 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11061 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11062
11063 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11064 [Ulf Möller]
11065
11066 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11067 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11068
11069 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11070 [Ulf Möller]
11071
11072 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11073 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11074
11075 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11076 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11080 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11081 [Ben Laurie]
11082
11083 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11084 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11085 [Steve Henson]
11086
11087 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11088 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11092 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11093 [Steve Henson]
11094
11095 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11096 support typesafe stack.
11097 [Steve Henson]
11098
11099 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11100 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11101
11102 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11103 old X509V3 handling code.
11104 [Steve Henson]
11105
11106 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11107 [Ulf Möller]
11108
11109 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11110 [Bodo Moeller]
11111
11112 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11113 [Ben Laurie]
11114
11115 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11116 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11117
11118 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11119 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11120 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11121 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11122 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11123 [Ben Laurie]
11124
11125 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11126 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11127 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11128 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11129 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11130
11131 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11132 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11133 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11134 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11135
11136 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11137 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11138 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11140
11141 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11142 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11143 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11144 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11145 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11146 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11147 [Bodo Moeller]
11148
11149 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11150 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11151 [Bodo Moeller]
11152
11153 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11154 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11155 [Ulf Möller]
11156
11157 *) Tweaks to Configure
11158 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11159
11160 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11161 yet...
11162 [Steve Henson]
11163
11164 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11165 [Ulf Möller]
11166
11167 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11168 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11169 [Ulf Möller]
11170
11171 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11172 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11173 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11174 [Bodo Moeller]
11175
11176 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11177 [Bodo Moeller]
11178
11179 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11180 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11181 [Steve Henson]
11182
11183 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11184 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11185 to library startup routines.
11186 [Steve Henson]
11187
11188 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11189 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11190 codes along the way.
11191 [Steve Henson]
11192
11193 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11194 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11195 objects to objects.h
11196 [Steve Henson]
11197
11198 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11199 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11200 [Steve Henson]
11201
11202 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11203 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11204
11205 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11206 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11207 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11208
11209 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11210 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11211 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11212
11213 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11214 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11215 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11216
11217
11218 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11219
11220 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11221 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11222 [Ben Laurie]
11223
11224 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11225 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11226 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11227 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11228 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11229
11230 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11231 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11232 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11233 document.
11234 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11235
11236 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11237 Malloc, Free.
11238 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11239
11240 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11241 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11242
11243 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11244 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11245 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11246 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11247
11248 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11249 [Ben Laurie]
11250
11251 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11252 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11253 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11254 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11255 [Steve Henson]
11256
11257 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11258 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11259 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11260 [Steve Henson]
11261
11262 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11263 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11264 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11265 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11266 installed as `perl').
11267 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11268
11269 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11270 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11271
11272 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11273 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11274 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11275 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11276 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11277 [Steve Henson]
11278
11279 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11280 [Ben Laurie]
11281
11282 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11283 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11284 is horrible: I feel ill....
11285 [Steve Henson]
11286
11287 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11288 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11289 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11290 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11291 [Steve Henson]
11292
11293 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11295
11296 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11297 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11298 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11300
11301 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11302 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11303 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11304 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11305 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11306 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11307 openssl_bio.xs.
11308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11309
11310 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11311 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11312
11313 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11314 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11315
11316 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11317 [Ben Laurie]
11318
11319 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11320 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11321 in CRLs.
11322 [Steve Henson]
11323
11324 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11325 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11326 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11327 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11328 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11329 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11330 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11331 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11332 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11333 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11334 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11335
11336 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11337 [Ben Laurie]
11338
11339 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11340 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11341 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11342 for linking it into DSOs.
11343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11344
11345 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11346 Fixed.
11347 [Ben Laurie]
11348
11349 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11350 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11351 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11352 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11353 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11354 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11355
11356 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11357 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11358 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11359 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11360 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11361 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11363
11364 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11365 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11366 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11367 encryption.
11368 [Ben Laurie]
11369
11370 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11371 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11372 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11373 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11374 [Steve Henson]
11375
11376 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11377 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11378 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11379 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11380 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11381 field as blank.
11382 [Steve Henson]
11383
11384 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11385 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11386 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11387 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11388 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11389
11390 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11391 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11392 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11393
11394 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11395 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11396
11397 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11398 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11399 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11400 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11401 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11402 [Steve Henson]
11403
11404 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11405 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11406 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11407 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11408 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11409 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11410 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11411 [Ben Laurie]
11412
11413 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11414 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11415 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11416 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11417 [Ben Laurie]
11418
11419 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11420 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11421
11422 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11423 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11424 [Steve Henson]
11425
11426 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11427 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11428 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11429 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11430 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11431 (e.g. s_server).
11432 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11433 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11434 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11435 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11436 no way to reconfigure them.
11437 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11438 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11439 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11440 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11441 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11442 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11443
11444 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11445 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11446 recognized by the users.
11447 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11448
11449 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11450 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11451 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11452 already masked variable.
11453 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11454
11455 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11456 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11457
11458 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11459 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11460 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11461 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11462
11463 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11464 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11466
11467 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11468 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11469 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11470 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11471 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11472 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11473 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11474 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11475 now, too.
11476 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11477
11478 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11479 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11480 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11481
11482 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11483 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11484 config file.
11485 [Steve Henson]
11486
11487 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11488 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11489
11490 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11491 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11492 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11493 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11494 [Ben Laurie]
11495
11496 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11497 [Steve Henson]
11498
11499 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11500 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11501
11502 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11503 [Ben Laurie]
11504
11505 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11506 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11510 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11511 [Steve Henson]
11512
11513 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11514 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11515 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11516 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11517 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11518 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11519 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11520 Ben Laurie]
11521
11522 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11523 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11524
11525 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11526 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11527 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11528 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11529 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11530
11531 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11532 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11533 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11534 [Steve Henson]
11535
11536 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11537 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11538 an example.
11539 [Steve Henson]
11540
11541 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11542 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11543 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11544
11545 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11546 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11547 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11548 build instructions.
11549 [Steve Henson]
11550
11551 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11552 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11553 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11554 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11555 [Steve Henson]
11556
11557 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11558 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11559 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11560 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11561 [Ben Laurie]
11562
11563 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11564 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11565 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11566 so it wasn't spotted.
11567 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11568
11569 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11570 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11571 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11572 vectors if you have them.
11573 [Ben Laurie]
11574
11575 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11576 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11577 [Ben Laurie]
11578
11579 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11580 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11581 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11582 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11583 If you do a:
11584 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11585 it will update them.
11586 [Steve Henson]
11587
11588 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11589 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11590 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11591 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11592 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11593 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11594 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11596
11597 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11598 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11599 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11600 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11601 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11602 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11603 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11604 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11605 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11606 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11607
11608 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11609 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11610 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11611 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11612 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11613 [Steve Henson]
11614
11615 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11616 INTEGER code.
11617 [Steve Henson]
11618
11619 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11620 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11621
11622 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11623 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11624
11625 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11626 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11627 [Ben Laurie]
11628
11629 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11630 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11631
11632 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11633 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11634
11635 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11636 [Steve Henson]
11637
11638 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11639 few typos.
11640 [Steve Henson]
11641
11642 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11643 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11644 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11645 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11646
11647 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11648 [Steve Henson]
11649
11650 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11651 [Steve Henson]
11652
11653 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11654 [Steve Henson]
11655
11656 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11657 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11658 [Steve Henson]
11659
11660 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11661 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11662 CA extensions.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11666 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11667 [Steve Henson]
11668
11669 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11670 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11671 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11672 [Steve Henson]
11673
11674 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11675 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11676 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11677 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11678 properly to be processed.
11679 [Steve Henson]
11680
11681 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11682 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11683 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11684 [Ben Laurie]
11685
11686 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11687 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11688
11689 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11690 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11691 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11692 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11693 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11694 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11695 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11696 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11697 or delete all the .err files.
11698 [Steve Henson]
11699
11700 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11701 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11702 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11703 to regenerate it if needed.
11704 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11705 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11706
11707 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11708 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11709
11710 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11711 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11712 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11713 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11714 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11715 [Steve Henson]
11716
11717 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11718 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11719
11720 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11721 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11722
11723 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11724 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11725 error, but didn't set one).
11726 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11727
11728 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11729 [Ben Laurie]
11730
11731 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11732 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11733 [Steve Henson]
11734
11735 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11736 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11737
11738 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11739 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11740 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11741 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11742 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11743 OID is not part of the table.
11744 [Steve Henson]
11745
11746 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11747 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11748 [Ben Laurie]
11749
11750 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11751 [Ben Laurie]
11752
11753 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11754 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11755 was "1234").
11756 [Steve Henson]
11757
11758 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11759 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11760
11761 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11762 NULL pointers.
11763 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11764
11765 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11766 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11767
11768 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11769 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11770
11771 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11772 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11773
11774 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11775 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11776 [Ben Laurie]
11777
11778 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11779 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11780 [Steve Henson]
11781
11782 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11783 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11784
11785 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11786 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11787
11788 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11789 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11790
11791 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11792 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11793
11794 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11795 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11796 unused in the certificate verification process.
11797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11798
11799 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11800 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11801 [Steve Henson]
11802
11803 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11804 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11805 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11806
11807 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11808 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11809 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11810 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11811 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11812
11813 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11814 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11815 [Steve Henson]
11816
11817 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11818 [Steve Henson]
11819
11820 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11821 [Paul Sutton]
11822
11823 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11824 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11825
11826 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11827 [Ben Laurie]
11828
11829 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11830 [Ben Laurie]
11831
11832 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11833 [Ben Laurie]
11834
11835 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11836 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11837 other error libraries.
11838 [Steve Henson]
11839
11840 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11841 [Steve Henson]
11842
11843 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11844 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11845 be read in.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11849 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11850 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11851 the new set of documentation files.
11852 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11853
11854 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11855 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11856 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11857 number of arguments.
11858 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11859
11860 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11861 [Ben Laurie]
11862
11863 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11864 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11865 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11866
11867 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11868 [Ben Laurie]
11869
11870 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11871 nextstep
11872 ncr-scde
11873 unixware-2.0
11874 unixware-2.0-pentium
11875 sco5-cc.
11876 [Ben Laurie]
11877
11878 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11879 before they are needed.
11880 [Ben Laurie]
11881
11882 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11883 [Ben Laurie]
11884
11885
11886 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11887
11888 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11889 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11891
11892 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11893 [Paul Sutton]
11894
11895 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11896 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11898
11899 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11900 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11901 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11902
11903 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11904 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11905 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11906
11907 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11908 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11909
11910 *) Updated the README file.
11911 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11912
11913 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11914 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11915 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11916
11917 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11918 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11920
11921 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11922 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11923 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11924 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11925 o removed obsolete TODO file
11926 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11928
11929 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11930 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11931 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11932 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11933 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11934 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11935 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11936

11941 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11942 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11943 summer 1998.

11986 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11987 [Eric A. Young]
11988
11989 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11990 [Eric A. Young]
11991
11992 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11993 [Eric A. Young]
11994
11995 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11996 [Eric A. Young]
11997
11998 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11999 [Eric A. Young]
12000
12001 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12002 [Eric A. Young]
12003
12004 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12005 [Eric A. Young]
12006
12007 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.

12018
12019 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12020 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12021 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12022 [Eric A. Young]
12023
12024 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12025 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
