3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 0.9.8zb and 0.9.8zc [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
8 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
9 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
10 (CVE-2014-3566)
11 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
12
13 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
14
15 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
16 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
17 DigestInfo structures.
18
19 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.

21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 Changes between 0.9.8za and 0.9.8zb [6 Aug 2014]
24
25 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
26 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
27 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
28 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
29
30 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
31 issue.
32 (CVE-2014-3510)
33 [Emilia Käsper]
34
35 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
36 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
37 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
38 (CVE-2014-3507)
39 [Adam Langley]
40
41 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
42 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
43 Denial of Service attack.
44 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
45 (CVE-2014-3506)
46 [Adam Langley]
47
48 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
49 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
50 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
51 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
52 this issue.
53 (CVE-2014-3505)
54 [Adam Langley]
55
56 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
57 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
58 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
59 output to the attacker.
60
61 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
62 (CVE-2014-3508)
63 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
64
65 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
66 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
67 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
68 [Bodo Moeller]
69
70 Changes between 0.9.8y and 0.9.8za [5 Jun 2014]
71
72 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
73 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
74 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
75
76 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
77 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
78 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
79
80 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
81 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
82 in a DoS attack.
83
84 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
85 (CVE-2014-0221)
86 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
87
88 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
89 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
90 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
91 code on a vulnerable client or server.
92
93 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
94 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
95
96 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
97 are subject to a denial of service attack.
98
99 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
100 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
101 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
102
103 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
104 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
105 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
106 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
107
108 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
109 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
110 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
111
112 Thanks to mancha for backporting the fix to the 0.9.8 branch.
113
114 *) Fix handling of warning-level alerts in SSL23 client mode so they
115 don't cause client-side termination (eg. on SNI unrecognized_name
116 warnings). Add client and server support for six additional alerts
117 per RFC 6066 and RFC 4279.
118 [mancha]
119
120 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
121 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
122 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
123 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
124 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
125 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
126 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
127
128 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
129
130 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
131
132 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
133 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
134 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
135
136 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
137 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
138 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
139 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
140 (CVE-2013-0169)
141 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
142
143 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
144 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
145 [Steve Henson]
146
147 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
148 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
149 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
150 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
151 (This is a backport)
152 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
153
154 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
155 [Steve Henson]
156
157 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
158
159 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
160 to fix DoS attack.
161
162 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
163 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
164 (CVE-2012-2333)
165 [Steve Henson]
166
167 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
168 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
169 [Steve Henson]
170
171 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
172
173 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
174 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
175 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
176 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
177 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
178
179 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
180
181 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
182 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
183 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
184
185 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
186 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
187 (CVE-2012-2110)
188 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
189
190 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
191
192 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
193 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
194 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
195 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
196 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
197 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
198 an MMA defence is not necessary.
199 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
200 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
201 [Steve Henson]
202
203 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
204 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
205 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
206 [Steve Henson]
207
208 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
209
210 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
211 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
212 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
213 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
214 [Antonio Martin]
215
216 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
217
218 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
219 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
220 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
221 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
222 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
223 paper describing this attack can be found at:
224 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
225 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
226 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
227 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
228 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
229 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
230 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
231
232 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
233 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
234
235 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
236 (CVE-2011-4576)
237 [Adam Langley (Google)]
238
239 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
240 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
241 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
242 [Adam Langley (Google)]
243
244 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
245 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
246 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
247 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
248
249 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
250 [Adam Langley (Google)]
251
252 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
253 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
254
255 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
256 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
257 [Adam Langley (Google)]
258
259 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
260 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
261 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
262
263 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
264 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
265 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
266 the last update always remained unused).
267 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
268
269 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
270 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
271 [Adam Langley (Google)]
272
273 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
274 [Bodo Moeller]
275
276 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
277 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
278
279 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
280
281 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
282
283 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
284
285 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
286 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
287
288 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
289 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
290 ambiguous.
291 [Steve Henson]
292
293 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
294
295 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
296 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
297 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
298 [Steve Henson]
299
300 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
301 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
302 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
303 [Ben Laurie]
304
305 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
306
307 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
308 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
309 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
310 [Steve Henson]
311
312 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
313 [Steve Henson]
314
315 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
316 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
317 some broken encodings work correctly.
318 [Steve Henson]
319
320 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
321 is also one of the inputs.
322 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
323
324 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
325 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
326 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
327 etc are non-op.
328 [Steve Henson]
329
330 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
331
332 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
333 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
334
335 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
336 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
337 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
338
339 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
340 common in certificates and some applications which only call
341 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
342 [Steve Henson]
343
344 *) VMS fixes:
345 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
346 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
347 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
348 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
349
350 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
351
352 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
353 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
354 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
355 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
356 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
357 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
358 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
359 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
360
361 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
362 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
363 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
364
365 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
366
367 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
368 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
369
370 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
371 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
372 [Bodo Moeller]
373
374 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
375 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
376 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
377 [Steve Henson]
378
379 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
380 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
381 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
382 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
383 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
384 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
385 [Steve Henson]
386
387 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
388 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
389 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
390 [Steve Henson]
391
392 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
393 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
394 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
395 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
396 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
397 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
398 CVE-2009-4355.
399 [Steve Henson]
400
401 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
402 change when encrypting or decrypting.
403 [Bodo Moeller]
404
405 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
406 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
407 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
408 [Steve Henson]
409
410 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
411 [Steve Henson]
412
413 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
414 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
415 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
416 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
417 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
418 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
419 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
420 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
421 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
422 [Steve Henson]
423
424 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
425 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
426 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
427 [Steve Henson]
428
429 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
430 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
431 [Steve Henson]
432
433 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
434 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
435 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
436 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
437 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
438 know what you are doing.
439 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
440
441 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
442 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
443 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
444 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
445 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
446 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
447 the handshake.
448 [Steve Henson]
449
450 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
451 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
452 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
453 correctly.
454 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
455
456 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
457 warnings in other configurations.
458 [Steve Henson]
459
460 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
461 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
462 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
463 systems need.
464 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
465
466 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
467 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
468 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
469
470 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
471 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
472 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
473 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
474 [Steve Henson]
475
476 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
477 and restored.
478 [Steve Henson]
479
480 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
481 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
482 clash.
483 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
484
485 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
486 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
487 other than a simple chain.
488 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
489
490 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
491 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
492 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
493 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
494 [Steve Henson]
495
496 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
497 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
498 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
499 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
500 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
501 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
502 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
503 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
504 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
505
506 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
507 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
508 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
509 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
510 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
511 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
512 (CVE-2009-1377)
513 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
514
515 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
516 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
517 [Daniel Mentz]
518
519 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
520 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
521
522 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
523 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
524
525 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
526
527 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
528 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
529 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
530 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
531 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
532 you're doing.
533 [Ben Laurie]
534
535 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
536
537 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
538 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
539 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
540 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
541
542 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
543 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
544 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
545 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
546
547 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
548 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
549 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
550 [Steve Henson]
551
552 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
553 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
554 level.
555 [Steve Henson]
556
557 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
558 to handle some structures.
559 [Steve Henson]
560
561 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
562 for a '\n'
563 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
564
565 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
566 [Matthieu Herrb]
567
568 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
569 [Steve Henson]
570
571 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
572 [Steve Henson]
573
574 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
575 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
576 chosen compiler.
577 [Ben Laurie]
578
579 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
580
581 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
582 (CVE-2008-5077).
583 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
584
585 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
586 [Ben Laurie]
587
588 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
589 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
590 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
591 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
592
593 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
594 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
595
596 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
597 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
598 [Bodo Moeller]
599
600 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
601 s_client and s_server.
602 [Ben Laurie]
603
604 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
605 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
606
607 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
608 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
609
610 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
611 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
612 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
613 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
614 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
615 [Bodo Moeller]
616
617 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
618
619 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
620 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
621 [PR #1679]
622
623 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
624 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
625 [Nagendra Modadugu]
626
627 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
628 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
629 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
630 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
631
632 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
633 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
634
635 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
636
637 *) Various precautionary measures:
638
639 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
640
641 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
642 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
643 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
644
645 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
646 outside the expected range.
647
648 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
649 builds.
650
651 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
652
653 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
654 the load fails. Useful for distros.
655 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
656
657 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
658 [Steve Henson]
659
660 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
661 [Huang Ying]
662
663 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
664
665 This work was sponsored by Logica.
666 [Steve Henson]
667
668 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
669 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
670 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
671
672 This work was sponsored by Logica.
673 [Steve Henson]
674
675 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
676 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
677 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
678 files.
679 [Steve Henson]
680
681 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
682
683 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
684 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
685 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
686 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
687
688 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
689 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
690 [Joe Orton]
691
692 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
693
694 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
695 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
696 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
697
698 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
699
700 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
701 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
702 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
703 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
704 [Lutz Jaenicke]
705
706 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
707 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
708 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
709 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
710 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
711 invalid read after the end of 'db').
712 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
713
714 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
715
716 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
717 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
718 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
719 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
720 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
721
722 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
723 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
724
725 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
726 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
727 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
728 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
729 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
730
731 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
732
733 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
734 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
735 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
736 sets may exist with different names.
737 [Steve Henson]
738
739 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
740 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
741 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
742 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
743 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
744 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
745 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
746 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
747 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
748 implementation.
749 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
750
751 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
752 implemention in the following ways:
753
754 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
755 hard coded.
756
757 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
758 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
759 ignored for embedded content.
760
761 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
762 with the enable-cms configuration option.
763 [Steve Henson]
764
765 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
766 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
767 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
768 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
769
770 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
771 uncompresses any data passed through it.
772 [Steve Henson]
773
774 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
775 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
776 [Steve Henson]
777
778 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
779 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
780 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
781 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
782 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
783 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
784 data.
785 [Steve Henson]
786
787 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
788 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
789 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
790
791 *) Netware support:
792
793 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
794 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
795 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
796 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
797 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
798 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
799 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
800 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
801 platform
802 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
803 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
804 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
805 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
806 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
807 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
808 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
809
810 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
811 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
812 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
813 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
814 to s_client and s_server.
815 [Steve Henson]
816
817 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
818
819 *) Fix various bugs:
820 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
821 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
822 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
823 + Fix ia64 assembler code
824 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
825
826 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
827
828 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
829 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
830 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
831 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
832 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
833 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
834 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
835 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
836 [Andy Polyakov]
837
838 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
839 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
840 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
841 Steve Henson]
842
843 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
844 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
845 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
846 supported.
847
848 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
849 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
850 SSL_SESSION.
851
852 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
853 protection in servers so again support should be possible
854 with no application modification.
855
856 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
857 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
858
859 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
860 or server extensions to be examined.
861
862 This work was sponsored by Google.
863 [Steve Henson]
864
865 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
866 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
867 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
868 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
869 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
870 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
871 server_name extension.
872
873 New functions (subject to change):
874
875 SSL_get_servername()
876 SSL_get_servername_type()
877 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
878
879 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
880
881 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
882 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
883 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
884 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
885 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
886
887 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
888
889 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
890 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
891 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
892 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
893 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
894 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
895 option.
896
897 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
898
899 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
900 [Steve Henson]
901
902 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
903 [Andy Polyakov]
904
905 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
906 (which previously caused an internal error).
907 [Bodo Moeller]
908
909 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
910 [Ben Laurie]
911
912 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
913 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
914
915 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
916 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
917 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
918
919 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
920 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
921 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
922 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
923
924 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
925 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
926 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
927 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
928
929 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
930 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
931 information. For detailed background information, see
932 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
933 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
934 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
935 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
936 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
937 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
938 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
939 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
940 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
941 remove a conditional branch.
942
943 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
944 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
945 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
946 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
947 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
948 remains as a deprecated alias.
949
950 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
951 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
952 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
953 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
954
955 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
956 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
957 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
958 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
959 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
960 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
961 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
962 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
963
964 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
965
966 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
967 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
968 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
969 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
970 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
971 with applications using a single external cache for quite
972 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
973 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
974 in a different context.
975 [Bodo Moeller]
976
977 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
978 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
979 authentication-only ciphersuites.
980 [Bodo Moeller]
981
982 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
983 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
984 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
985
986 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
987
988 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
989 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
990 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
991 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
992 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
993 [Victor Duchovni]
994
995 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
996 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
997 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
998 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
999 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1000 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1001 [Bodo Moeller]
1002
1003 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1004 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1005 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1006 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1007 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1008 [Bodo Moeller]
1009
1010 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1011 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1012
1013 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1014 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1015 Improve header file function name parsing.
1016 [Steve Henson]
1017
1018 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1019 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1020 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1021
1022 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1023
1024 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1025 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1026 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1027
1028 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1029 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1030
1031 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1032 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1033
1034 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1035 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1036 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1037
1038 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1039 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1040 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1041 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1042 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1043 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1044 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1045 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1046 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1047
1048 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1049 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1050 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1051 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1052 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1053
1054 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1055 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1056 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1057 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1058 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1059 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1060 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1061 multiple values to extend the available space.
1062
1063 [Bodo Moeller]
1064
1065 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1066
1067 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1068 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1069
1070 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1071 [Ben Laurie]
1072
1073 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1074 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1075 undesirable limitations.
1076 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1077
1078 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1079 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1080 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1081 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1082 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1083 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1084 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1085 [Bodo Moeller]
1086
1087 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1088
1089 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1090 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1091 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1092
1093 The latter two were purportedly from
1094 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1095 appear there.
1096
1097 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1098 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1099 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1100 [Bodo Moeller]
1101
1102 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1103 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1104 [Bodo Moeller]
1105
1106 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1107 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1108 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1109 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1110
1111 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1112 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1113 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1114 [NTT]
1115
1116 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1117 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1118 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1119 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1120 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1121 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1122 [Steve Henson]
1123
1124 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1125
1126 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1127 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1131 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1132
1133 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1134 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1135 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1136 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1137 [Douglas Stebila]
1138
1139 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1140 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1141 [Steve Henson]
1142
1143 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1144 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1145 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1146 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1147 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1148 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1149 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1150 can't be loaded.
1151 [Steve Henson]
1152
1153 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1154 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1155 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1156 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1157 [Steve Henson]
1158
1159 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1160 under VC++ build system.
1161 [Steve Henson]
1162
1163 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1164 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1165 [Richard Levitte]
1166
1167 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1168
1169 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1170 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1171 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1172 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1173 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1174
1175 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1176 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1177 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1178
1179 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1183 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1184 [Nils Larsch]
1185
1186 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1187 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1188
1189 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1190 [Nick Mathewson]
1191
1192 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1193 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1194
1195 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1196 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1200 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1201 smime utility.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1205
1206 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1207 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1208
1209 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1210 [Richard Levitte]
1211
1212 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1213 key into the same file any more.
1214 [Richard Levitte]
1215
1216 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1217 [Andy Polyakov]
1218
1219 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1220 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1221
1222 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1223 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1224 [Richard Levitte]
1225
1226 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1227 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1228 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1229 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1230 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1231 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1232
1233 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1234 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1235 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1236 [Steve Henson]
1237
1238 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1239 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1240 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1241 - add new function for parameter creation
1242 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1243 BN_BLINDING parameters
1244 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1245 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1246 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1247 threads.
1248 [Nils Larsch]
1249
1250 *) Add support for DTLS.
1251 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1252
1253 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1254 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1255 [Walter Goulet]
1256
1257 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1258 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1259 [Nils Larsch]
1260
1261 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1262 the apps/openssl applications.
1263 [Nils Larsch]
1264
1265 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1266 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1267 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1268 [Ben Laurie]
1269
1270 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1271 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1272
1273 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1274 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1275
1276 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1277 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1278 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1279 avoid this algorithm.)
1280
1281 [Bodo Moeller]
1282
1283 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1284 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1285 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1286 [Richard Levitte]
1287
1288 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1289 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1290 [Andy Polyakov]
1291
1292 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1293 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1294 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1295 pod file:
1296
1297 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1298
1299 The blank line is mandatory.
1300
1301 [Steve Henson]
1302
1303 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1304 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1305 sources.
1306 [Steve Henson]
1307
1308 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1309 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1310
1311 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1312 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1313 to support policy checking and print out.
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1317 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1318 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1319 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1320
1321 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1322 [Geoff Thorpe]
1323
1324 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1325 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1326
1327 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1328 implementation contributed by IBM.
1329 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1330
1331 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1332 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1333 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1334 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1335
1336 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1337 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1338
1339 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1340 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1341 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1342 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1343 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1344 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1348 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1349 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1350 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1351 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1352 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1353 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1354 [Geoff Thorpe]
1355
1356 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1357 [Steve Henson]
1358
1359 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1360 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1361 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1362 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1363 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1364 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1365 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1366 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1367 [Steve Henson]
1368
1369 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1370 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1371 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1372 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1373 [Steve Henson]
1374
1375 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1376 syntax:
1377
1378 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1379 [Steve Henson]
1380
1381 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1382 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1383 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1384 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1385 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1386 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1387 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1388 [Geoff Thorpe]
1389
1390 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1391 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1392 [Geoff Thorpe]
1393
1394 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1395 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1396 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1397 [Steve Henson]
1398
1399 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1400 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1401 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1402 below).
1403 [Geoff Thorpe]
1404
1405 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1406 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1407 [Richard Levitte]
1408
1409 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1410 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1411 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1412 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1413 [Geoff Thorpe]
1414
1415 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1416 initialised value as BN_new().
1417 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1418
1419 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1420 [Steve Henson]
1421
1422 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1423 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1424 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1425 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1426 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1427 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1428 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1429 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1430 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1431 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1432 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1433 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1434 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1435 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1436 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1437
1438 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1439 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1440 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1441 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1442 [Geoff Thorpe]
1443
1444 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1445 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1446 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1447 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1448 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1449 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1450 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1451 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1452 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1453 [Geoff Thorpe]
1454
1455 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1456 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1457 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1458 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1459 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1460 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1461 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1462 [Geoff Thorpe]
1463
1464 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1465 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1466 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1467 these have been updated also.
1468 [Geoff Thorpe]
1469
1470 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1471 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1472 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1473 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1474 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1475 functions.
1476 [Steve Henson]
1477
1478 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1479 structure of type "other".
1480 [Steve Henson]
1481
1482 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1483 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1484 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1485 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1486 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1487 situation in the script.
1488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1489
1490 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1491 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1492 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1493 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1494 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1495 used as premaster secret.
1496 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1497
1498 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1499 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1500 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1501
1502 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1503 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1504
1505 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1506 control of the error stack.
1507 [Richard Levitte]
1508
1509 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1510 [Richard Levitte]
1511
1512 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1513 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1514 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1515 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1516 [Richard Levitte]
1517
1518 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1519 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1520 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1521 [Richard Levitte]
1522
1523 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1524 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1525 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1526 a memory area.
1527 [Richard Levitte]
1528
1529 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1530 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1531 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1532 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1533 [Richard Levitte]
1534
1535 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1536 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1537 the following flags are defined:
1538
1539 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1540 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1541 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1542 number.
1543
1544 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1545 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1546 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1547 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1548 returns zero.
1549 [Richard Levitte]
1550
1551 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1552 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1553 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1554 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1555 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1556 [Richard Levitte]
1557
1558 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1559 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1560 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1561 [Richard Levitte]
1562
1563 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1564 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1565 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1566 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1567 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1568 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1569 [Richard Levitte]
1570
1571 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1572 req and dirName.
1573 [Steve Henson]
1574
1575 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1576 [Steve Henson]
1577
1578 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1579 [Steve Henson]
1580
1581 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1582 [Steve Henson]
1583
1584 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1585 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1586 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1587 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1588 default implementation more easily.
1589 [Geoff Thorpe]
1590
1591 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1592 in config files.
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1596 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1597 [Richard Levitte]
1598
1599 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1600 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1601 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1602 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1603
1604 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1605 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1606 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1607 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1608 [Steve Henson]
1609
1610 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1611 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1612 to do it.
1613 [Richard Levitte]
1614
1615 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1616 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1617 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1618 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1619 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1620 scalar * generator).
1621 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1622
1623 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1624 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1625 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1626 correctly.
1627 [Steve Henson]
1628
1629 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1630 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1631 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1632 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1633 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1634 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1635 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1636 linker additions, eg;
1637 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1638 [Geoff Thorpe]
1639
1640 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1641 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1642 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1643 [Geoff Thorpe]
1644
1645 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1646 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1647 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1648 via PR#459)
1649 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1650
1651 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1652 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1653 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1654 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1655 [Geoff Thorpe]
1656
1657 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1658 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1659 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1660 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1661 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1662 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1663 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1664 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1665 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1666 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1667
1668 Example for using the new callback interface:
1669
1670 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1671 void *my_arg = ...;
1672 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1673
1674 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1675
1676 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1677 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1678 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1679 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1680 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1681 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1682 */
1683
1684 [Geoff Thorpe]
1685
1686 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1687 available to TLS with the number defined in
1688 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1689 [Richard Levitte]
1690
1691 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1692 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1693
1694 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1695 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1696 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1697 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1698
1699 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1700 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1701
1702 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1703 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1704 well.
1705 [Richard Levitte]
1706
1707 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1708 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1709 [Richard Levitte]
1710
1711 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1712 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1713 and a macro that behave like
1714 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1715
1716 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1717 [Nils Larsch]
1718
1719 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1720 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1721 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1722 if applicable.
1723 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1724
1725 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1726 [Bodo Moeller]
1727
1728 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1729 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1730 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1731 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1732 directory engines/.
1733 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1734 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1735 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1736 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1737 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1738 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1739 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1740 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1741
1742 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1743 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1744 [Richard Levitte]
1745
1746 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1747 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1748
1749 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1750 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1751 files while avoiding the low level API.
1752
1753 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1754 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1755 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1756 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1757
1758 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1759 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1760 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1761 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1762 instead of the low level API.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1766 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1767 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1768 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1769 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1770 PKCS#7 code.
1771
1772 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1773 down to the template encoder.
1774 [Steve Henson]
1775
1776 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1777 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1778 [Bodo Moeller]
1779
1780 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1781 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1782 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1783 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1784
1785 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1786 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1787
1788 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1789 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1790
1791 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1792 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1793 [Bodo Moeller]
1794
1795 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1796 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1797 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1798 [Bodo Moeller]
1799
1800 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1801 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1802
1803 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1804 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1805
1806 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1807 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1808 New EC_METHOD:
1809
1810 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1811
1812 New API functions:
1813
1814 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1815 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1816 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1817 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1818 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1819 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1820
1821 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1822 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1823 enable it).
1824
1825 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1826 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1827 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1828 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1829 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1830 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1831 various internal method names.)
1832
1833 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1834 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1835
1836 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1837 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1838
1839 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1840 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1841
1842 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1843 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1844 methods are undefined.
1845
1846 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1847 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1848
1849 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1850 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1851 length of the modulus.
1852
1853 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1854 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1855
1856 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1857 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1858
1859 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1860 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1861
1862 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1863 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1864 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1865
1866 BN_GF2m_add
1867 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1868 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1869 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1870 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1871 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1872 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1873 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1874 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1875 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1876
1877 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1878 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1879
1880 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1881 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1882 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1883 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1884 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1885 where
1886 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1887 This applies to the following functions:
1888
1889 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1890 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1891 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1892 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1893 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1894 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1895 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1896 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1897 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1898 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1899
1900 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1901
1902 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1903 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1904
1905 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1906
1907 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1908 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1909 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1910 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1911 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1912
1913 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1914 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1915
1916 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1917 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1918 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1919
1920 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1921 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1922
1923 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1924 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1925 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1926 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1927 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1928
1929 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1930 functions
1931 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1932 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1933 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1934 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1935 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1936 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1937 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1938 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1939 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1940 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1941 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1942 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1943
1944 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1945 functions
1946 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1947 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1948 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1949 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1950 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1951
1952 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1953 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1954 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1955 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1956
1957 *) Add functions
1958 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1959 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1960 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1961 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1962 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1963 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1964 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1965
1966 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1967 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1968 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1969 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1970 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1971 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1972 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1973 adding different types of curves.
1974 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1975
1976 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1977 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1978 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1979 [Bodo Moeller]
1980
1981 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1982 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1983
1984 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1985 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1986 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1987 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1988
1989 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1990
1991 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1992 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1993
1994 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1995 library. Most notably,
1996 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1997 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1998 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1999 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2000 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2001 extracted before the specific public key;
2002 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2003 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2004
2005 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2006 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2007 function
2008 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2009 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2010 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2011 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2012 accessed via
2013 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2014 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2015 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2016
2017 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2018 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2019 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2020 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2021 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2022 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2023 differing sizes.
2024 [Richard Levitte]
2025
2026 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2027
2028 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2029 sensitive data.
2030 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2031
2032 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2033 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2034 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2035 [Bodo Moeller]
2036
2037 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2038 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2039 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2040 [Victor Duchovni]
2041
2042 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2046 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2047 [Steve Henson]
2048
2049 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2050 run algorithm test programs.
2051 [Steve Henson]
2052
2053 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2054 [Steve Henson]
2055
2056 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2057 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2058 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2059 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2060 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2061 [Bodo Moeller]
2062
2063 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2064 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2068
2069 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2070 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2071 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2072
2073 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2074 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2077 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2078
2079 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2080 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2081 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2082
2083 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2084 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2085 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2086 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2087 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2088 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2089 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2090 [Bodo Moeller]
2091
2092 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2093
2094 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2095 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2096
2097 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2098 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2099 undesirable limitations.
2100 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2101
2102 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2103
2104 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2105 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2106 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2107
2108 The latter two were purportedly from
2109 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2110 appear there.
2111
2112 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2113 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2114 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2115 [Bodo Moeller]
2116
2117 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2118 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2119 [Bodo Moeller]
2120
2121 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2122
2123 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2124 module in FIPS mode.
2125 [Steve Henson]
2126
2127 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2131 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2132 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2133 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2137
2138 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2139 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2140 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2141 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2142 the difference induced by this change.
2143 [Andy Polyakov]
2144
2145 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2146
2147 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2148 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2149 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2150 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2151 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2152
2153 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2154 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2155 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2156
2157 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2158 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2162 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2163 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2164 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2165 biased k.)
2166 [Bodo Moeller]
2167
2168 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2169 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2170 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2171 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2172 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2173
2174 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2175 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2176 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2177 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2178 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2179 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2180
2181 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2182
2183 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2184 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2185 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2186 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2187 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2188 [Bodo Moeller]
2189
2190 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2191 clients need.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2195 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2196 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2197 [Steve Henson]
2198
2199 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2200 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2201 structures constant.
2202 [Steve Henson]
2203
2204 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2205
2206 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2207 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2208
2209 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2210 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2211 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2212 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2213 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2214 some needed definitions.
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2218 [Ulf Möller]
2219
2220 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2221 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2222 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2223 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2224 [Richard Levitte]
2225
2226 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2227
2228 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2229 server and client random values. Previously
2230 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2231 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2232
2233 This change has negligible security impact because:
2234
2235 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2236 data.
2237
2238 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2239 handshake.
2240
2241 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2242 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2243 values.
2244
2245 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2246 to our attention.
2247
2248 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2249
2250 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2251 [Ulf Möller]
2252
2253 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2254 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2255 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2256
2257 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2258 [Steve Henson]
2259
2260 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2261 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2262 [Andy Polyakov]
2263
2264 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2265 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2266 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2272 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2273 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2274 certificates.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2278 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2279 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2280 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2281
2282 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2283 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2284 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2285 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2286 been given)
2287 [Richard Levitte]
2288
2289 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2290
2291 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2292 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2293 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2294 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2295 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2296 [Steve Henson]
2297
2298 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2299 [Steve Henson]
2300
2301 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2302 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2303
2304 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2305 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2306 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2307 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2308 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2309 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2310 rather than being initialized to 1.
2311 [Steve Henson]
2312
2313 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2314
2315 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2316 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2317 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2318
2319 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2320 (CVE-2004-0112)
2321 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2324 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2325 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2326 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2327 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2328 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2329 [Richard Levitte]
2330
2331 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2332 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2333 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2334 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2335 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2336 for these cases.
2337 [Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2340 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2341 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2342 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2343 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2344 [Steve Henson]
2345
2346 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2347 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2348 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2349 < 0.9.7.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2353 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2354
2355 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2356 [Steve Henson]
2357
2358 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2359
2360 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2361
2362 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2363 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2364
2365 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2366
2367 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2368 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2369
2370 [Steve Henson]
2371
2372 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2373 exiting on the first error in a request.
2374 [Steve Henson]
2375
2376 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2377 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2378 specifications.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2382 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2383 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2384 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2385
2386 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2387 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2388 [Richard Levitte]
2389
2390 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2391 blocks during encryption.
2392 [Richard Levitte]
2393
2394 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2395 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2396 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2397 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2398 certain size.
2399 [Steve Henson]
2400
2401 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2402 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2403 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2404 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2405 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2406 parser.
2407 [Steve Henson]
2408
2409 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2410
2411 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2412 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2413 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2414 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2415 [Bodo Moeller]
2416
2417 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2418 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2419 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2420 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2421 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2422
2423 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2424 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2425 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2426 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2427 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2428 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2429 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2430 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2431 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2432 [Bodo Moeller]
2433
2434 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2435 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2436 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2437 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2438 [Geoff Thorpe]
2439
2440 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2441 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2442 [Ulf Moeller]
2443
2444 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2445
2446 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2447 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2448 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2449 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2450 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2451
2452 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2453 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2454 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2455
2456 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2457 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2458 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2459 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2460 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2461
2462 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2463 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2464 used by default when no-err is given.
2465 [Richard Levitte]
2466
2467 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2468 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2469
2470 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2471 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2472 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2473 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2474 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2475
2476 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2477 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2478 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2479 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2480
2481 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2482
2483 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2484
2485 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2486
2487 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2488 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2489 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2490 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2491 root is omitted).
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2495 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2496
2497 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2498 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2499 [Steve Henson]
2500
2501 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2502 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2503 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2504 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2505 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2506
2507 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2508 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2509 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2510 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2511 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2512 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2513 followup to PR #377.
2514 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2515
2516 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2517 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2518 [Andy Polyakov]
2519
2520 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2521 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2522 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2523 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2524
2525 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2526
2527 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2528 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2529
2530 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2531 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2532 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2533 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2534 client and server.
2535 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2536 PR #377.
2537 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2538
2539 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2540 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2541 removed entirely.
2542 [Richard Levitte]
2543
2544 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2545 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2546 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2547 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2548 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2549 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2550 of libcrypto.
2551 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2552 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2553 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2554 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2555 have to be made anyway).
2556 [Richard Levitte]
2557
2558 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2559 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2560 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2564 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2565 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2566 [Richard Levitte]
2567
2568 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2569 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2570 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2571
2572 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2573 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2574 edit numbers of the version.
2575 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2576
2577 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2578 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2579 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2580
2581 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2582 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2583
2584 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2585 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2586 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2587
2588 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2589 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2590
2591 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2592 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2593
2594 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2595 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2596
2597 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2598 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2599
2600 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2601 overflows.
2602 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2603
2604 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2605 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2606 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2607
2608 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2609 representations in a platform independent manner.
2610 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2611
2612 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2613 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2614 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2615
2616 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2617 indents.
2618 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2619
2620 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2621 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2622
2623 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2624 full. Fixed.
2625 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2626
2627 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2628 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2629 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2630
2631 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2632 unconditionally).
2633 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2634
2635 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2636 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2637
2638 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2640
2641 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2642 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2643
2644 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2645 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2646
2647 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2648 CBCParameter.
2649 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2650
2651 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2652 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2653
2654 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2655 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2656
2657 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2658 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2659 exploitable.
2660 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2661
2662 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2663 the 0.9.6 release series:
2664
2665 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2666 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2667 (CVE-2002-0657)
2668 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2669
2670 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2671 [Richard Levitte]
2672
2673 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2674 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2677 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2678
2679 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2680 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2681 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2682 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2683
2684 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2685 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2686 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2687
2688 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2689 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2690 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2691 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2692
2693 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2694 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2695 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2696 some local tweaks:
2697
2698 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2699 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2700 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2701 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2702 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2703 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2704 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2705 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2706 done
2707
2708 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2709 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2710 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2711 [Richard Levitte]
2712
2713 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2714 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2715 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2716 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2717 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2718
2719 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2720 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2721
2722 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2723 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2724 [Richard Levitte]
2725
2726 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2727 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2728 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2729 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2730 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2731 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2732 [Steve Henson]
2733
2734 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2735 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2736 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2737 [Steve Henson]
2738
2739 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2740 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2742
2743 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2744 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2745 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2746 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2747 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2748 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2749 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2750 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2751
2752 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2753 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2754 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2755 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2756 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2757 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2758 [Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2761 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2762 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2763 declaration has been changed from
2764 int (*cb)()
2765 into
2766 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2767 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2768 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2769 has been changed into
2770 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2771
2772 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2773 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2774 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2775
2776 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2777 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2778
2779 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2780 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2781 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2782 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2783 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2784 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2785 always load it have also been added.
2786 [Steve Henson]
2787
2788 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2789 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2790 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2791
2792 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2793
2794 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2795 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2796 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2797
2798 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2799 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2800 command line option can be used to specify an
2801 alternative file.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2805 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2809 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2810 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2814 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2815 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2816 to work with the new engine framework.
2817 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2818
2819 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2820 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2821 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2822 to work with the new engine framework.
2823 [Richard Levitte]
2824
2825 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2826 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2827 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2828
2829 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2830 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2831
2832 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2833 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2834 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2835 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2836 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2837 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2838
2839 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2840 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2841
2842 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2843 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2844
2845 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2846 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2847 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2848 [Ben Laurie]
2849
2850 *) Add new functions
2851 ERR_peek_last_error
2852 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2853 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2854 These are similar to
2855 ERR_peek_error
2856 ERR_peek_error_line
2857 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2858 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2859 still in the error queue.
2860 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2861
2862 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2863 like:
2864 default_algorithms = ALL
2865 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2869 [Steve Henson]
2870
2871 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2872 [Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2875 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2876 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2877 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2878
2879 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2880 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2881
2882 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2883 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2884
2885 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2886 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2887 [Bodo Moeller]
2888
2889 *) New functions/macros
2890
2891 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2892 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2893 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2894 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2895
2896 to request calling a callback function
2897
2898 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2899 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2900
2901 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2902 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2903 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2904 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2905 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2906 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2907 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2908 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2909 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2910 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2911
2912 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2913 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2914 [Bodo Moeller]
2915
2916 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2917 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2918 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2919 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2920 the configuration scripts.
2921
2922 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2923 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2924 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2925
2926 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2927 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2928
2929 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2930 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2931 when reusing an existing buffer.
2932 [Bodo Moeller]
2933
2934 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2935 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2939 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2940 [Ben Laurie]
2941
2942 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2943 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2944 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2945 has the same effect.
2946 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2947
2948 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2949 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2950 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2951 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2952 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2953 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2954 exception.
2955
2956 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2957 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2958 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2959 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2960
2961 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2962 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2963 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2964 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2965
2966 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2967 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2968 won't work.
2969
2970 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2971 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2972 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2973 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2974 default), and then completely removed.
2975 [Richard Levitte]
2976
2977 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2978 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2979 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2980 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2981 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2982 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2983 particular extension is supported.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2987 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2988 [Steve Henson]
2989
2990 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2991 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2992 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2993 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2994 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2995 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2996 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2997 requires the destination to be valid.
2998
2999 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3000 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3001 [Steve Henson]
3002
3003 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3004 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3005 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3006 [Bodo Moeller]
3007
3008 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3009 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3010
3011 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3012 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3013 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3014 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3015 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3016 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3017 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3018 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3019 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3020 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3021 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3022 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3023 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3024 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3025 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3026 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3027 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3028 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3029 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3030 the new code.
3031 [Geoff Thorpe]
3032
3033 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3034 [Steve Henson]
3035
3036 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3037 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3038 become part of libeay.num as well.
3039 [Richard Levitte]
3040
3041 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3042 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3043 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3044 false once a handshake has been completed.
3045 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3046 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3047 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3048 client has followed the request.)
3049 [Bodo Moeller]
3050
3051 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3052 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3053 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3054 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3055
3056 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3057 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3058 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3059 [Bodo Moeller]
3060
3061 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3065 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3066 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3067 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3068
3069 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3070 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3071 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3072
3073 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3074 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3075 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3076 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3077 [Geoff Thorpe]
3078
3079 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3080 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3081 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3082 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3083 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3084 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3085 [Geoff Thorpe]
3086
3087 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3088 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3089 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3090 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3091 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3092 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3093 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3094 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3095 [Geoff Thorpe]
3096
3097 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3098 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3099 [Geoff Thorpe]
3100
3101 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3102 [Ben Laurie]
3103
3104 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3105 md_data void pointer.
3106 [Ben Laurie]
3107
3108 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3109 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3110 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3111 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3112 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3113 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3114 [Ben Laurie]
3115
3116 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3117 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3118 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3119 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3120 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3121 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3122 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3123 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3124 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3125 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3126 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3127 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3128 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3129 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3130 rather than letting it slide.
3131
3132 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3133 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3134 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3135 [Geoff Thorpe]
3136
3137 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3138 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3139 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3140 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3141 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3142 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3143 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3144 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3145 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3146 [Geoff Thorpe]
3147
3148 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3149 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3150 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3151 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3152 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3153
3154 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3155 [Geoff Thorpe]
3156
3157 *) Add EVP test program.
3158 [Ben Laurie]
3159
3160 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3161 [Ben Laurie]
3162
3163 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3164 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3165 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3166 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3167 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3171 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3172 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3173 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3174 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3175 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3176 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3177
3178 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3179 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3180 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3181 Usage example:
3182
3183 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3184
3185 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3186 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3187 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3188 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3189 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3190
3191 [Ben Laurie]
3192
3193 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3194 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3195 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3196 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3197 anyway): E.g.,
3198
3199 des_key_schedule ks;
3200
3201 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3202 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3203
3204 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3205 [Ben Laurie]
3206
3207 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3208 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3209 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3210 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3211 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3212 functions prevents this.
3213 [Steve Henson]
3214
3215 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3216 [Ben Laurie]
3217
3218 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3219 correct _ecb suffix.
3220 [Ben Laurie]
3221
3222 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3223 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3224 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3225 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3226 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3227 [Steve Henson]
3228
3229 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3230 [Richard Levitte]
3231
3232 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3233 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3234 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3235 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3236
3237 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3238 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3239
3240 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3241 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3242 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3243 via Richard Levitte]
3244
3245 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3246 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3247 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3248 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3249 [Geoff Thorpe]
3250
3251 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3252 Before:
3253 encrypt
3254 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3255 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3256 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

3261 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
3262 After:

3264 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
3265 decrypt
3266 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3267 [Ben Laurie]
3268
3269 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3270 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3271
3272 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3273 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3274 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3275 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3276 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3277 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3278 [Steve Henson]
3279
3280 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3281 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3282 [Richard Levitte]
3283
3284 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3285 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3286 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3287 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3290 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3291 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3292 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3293 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3294 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3295 callback.
3296 [Richard Levitte]
3297
3298 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3299 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3300 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3301 and interrupts/cancellations.
3302 [Richard Levitte]
3303
3304 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3305 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3309 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3310 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3311
3312 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3313 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3314 kind of callback.
3315 [Richard Levitte]
3316
3317 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3318 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3319 than this minimum value is recommended.
3320 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3321
3322 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3323 that are easily reachable.
3324 [Richard Levitte]
3325
3326 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3327 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3328
3329 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3330
3331 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3332 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3333 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3334 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3338 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3339 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3340 [Steve Henson]
3341
3342 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3343 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3344 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3345 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3346 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3347 internally such as S/MIME.
3348
3349 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3350 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3351 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3352
3353 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3354 applications.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3358 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3359 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3360 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3361
3362 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3363
3364 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3365
3366 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3367 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3368 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3369 handling.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3373 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3374 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3375 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3376 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3377 a window system and the like.
3378 [Richard Levitte]
3379
3380 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3381 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3382 [Geoff]
3383
3384 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3385 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3386 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3387 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3388 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3389 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3390 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3391 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3392 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3393 ENGINE structure.
3394 [Geoff]
3395
3396 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3397 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3398 tag cache.
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3402 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3403 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3404 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3405 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3406 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3407 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3408 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3409 [Geoff]
3410
3411 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3412 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3413 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3414 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3415 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3416 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3417 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3418 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3419 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3420 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3421 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3422 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3423 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3424 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3425 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3426 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3427 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3428 [Geoff]
3429
3430 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3431 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3432 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3433 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3434 internal engine_int.h header.
3435 [Geoff]
3436
3437 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3438 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3439 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3440 modify their own ones).
3441 [Geoff]
3442
3443 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3444 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3445 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3446 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3447 later on via ctrl() commands.
3448 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3449 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3450 structural references.
3451 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3452 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3453 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3454 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3455 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3456 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3457 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3458 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3459 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3460 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3461 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3462 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3463 [Geoff]
3464
3465 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3466 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3467 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3468 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3469 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3470 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3471 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3472 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3473 [Bodo Moeller]
3474
3475 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3476 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3477 [Steve Henson]
3478
3479 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3480 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3481 [Steve Henson]
3482
3483 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3484 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3485 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3486 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3487 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3488 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3489 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3493 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3494 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3495 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3496 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3497
3498 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3499 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3500 generator).
3501 [Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3504
3505 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3506 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3507 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3508
3509 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3510 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3511
3512 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3513 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3514 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3515
3516 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3517 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3518
3519 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3520 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3521
3522 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3523
3524 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3525 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3526 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3527 [Bodo Moeller]
3528
3529 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3530 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3531 [Richard Levitte]
3532
3533 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3534 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3535 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3536 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3537 is 40 of more characters long.
3538 [Steve Henson]
3539
3540 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3541 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3542 pointers.
3543 [Steve Henson]
3544
3545 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3546 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3547 [Bodo Moeller]
3548
3549 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3550 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3551 might.
3552 [Steve Henson]
3553
3554 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3555
3556 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3557 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3558
3559 ASN1 error codes
3560 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3561 ...
3562 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3563 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3564 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3565 ...
3566 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3567 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3568
3569 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3570 [Bodo Moeller]
3571
3572 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3573 suffices.
3574 [Bodo Moeller]
3575
3576 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3577 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3578 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3579 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3580 and
3581 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3582
3583 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3584 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3585
3586 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3587 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3588 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3589 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3590 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3591 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3592
3593 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3594 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3595
3596 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3597 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3598
3599 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3600 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3601
3602 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3603 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3604 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3605 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3606
3607 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3608 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3609
3610 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3611 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3612
3613 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3614 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3615 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3616 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3617 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3618 [Richard Levitte]
3619
3620 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3621 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3622 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3623 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3624 [Steve Henson]
3625
3626 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3627 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3628 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3629 trust settings.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3633 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3634 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3635 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3636 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3637 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3638 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3639 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3640 ocsp utility.
3641 [Steve Henson]
3642
3643 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3644 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3645 [Steve Henson]
3646
3647 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3648 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3649 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3650 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3651 [Steve Henson]
3652
3653 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3654 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3655 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3656 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3657 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3658 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3659 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3660 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3661 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3662 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3666 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3667 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3668 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3669 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3670 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3671 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3672 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3673
3674 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3675 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3676 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3677 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3678 [Richard Levitte]
3679
3680 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3681 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3682 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3683 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3684 opensslconf.h.
3685 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3686 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3687 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3688 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3689 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3690 what is available.
3691 [Richard Levitte]
3692
3693 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3694 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3695 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3696 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3697 auto incremented.
3698 [Steve Henson]
3699
3700 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3701 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3702 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3703 [Steve Henson]
3704
3705 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3706 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3707 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3708 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3709 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3710 [Steve Henson]
3711
3712 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3713 [Steve Henson]
3714
3715 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3716 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3717 option to ocsp utility.
3718 [Steve Henson]
3719
3720 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3721 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3722 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3723 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3724 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3725 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3726 the request is nonce-less.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3730 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3731 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3732 [Bodo Moeller]
3733
3734 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3735 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3736 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3740 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3741 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3742 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3743 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3744 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3745
3746 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3747 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3748 appear to exist.
3749 [Steve Henson]
3750
3751 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3752 additional certificates supplied.
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3756 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3757 signature against.
3758 [Richard Levitte]
3759
3760 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3761 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3762 AES OIDs.
3763
3764 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3765 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3766 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3767 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3768 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3769 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3770 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3771 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3772 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3773
3774 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3775 request to response.
3776 [Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3779 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3780 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3781 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3782 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3783 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3784 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3785 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3786 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3787 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3788 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3792 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3793 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3794 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3795 [Steve Henson]
3796
3797 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3798 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3799
3800 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3801 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3802 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3803 [Steve Henson]
3804
3805 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3806 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3807 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3808 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3809 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3810
3811 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3812 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3813 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3814 [Steve Henson]
3815
3816 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3817 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3818 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3819 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3820 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3821 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3822 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3823 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3824
3825 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3826 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3827 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3828 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3829 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3830 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3834 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3835 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3836 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3837 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3838 printout format cleaned up.
3839 [Steve Henson]
3840
3841 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3842 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3843 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3844 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3845 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3846 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3847 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3848 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3852 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3853 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3854 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3855 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3856 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3857 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3858 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3862 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3863 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3864 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3865 section to use.
3866 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3867
3868 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3869 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3870 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3871 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3872 [Steve Henson]
3873
3874 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3875 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3876 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3877 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3878 in the index file.
3879 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3880
3881 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3882 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3883 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3884 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3885
3886 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3887 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3888
3889 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3890 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3891 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3892 [Steve Henson]
3893
3894 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3895 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3896 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3897 [Bodo Moeller]
3898
3899 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3900 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3901 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3902 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3903 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3904 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3905 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3906 functions are provided:
3907
3908 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3909 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3910 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3911 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3912
3913 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3914 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3915 extended allocation function is enabled.
3916 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3917 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3918 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3919
3920 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3921 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3922 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3923 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3924 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3925 [Geoff Thorpe]
3926
3927 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3928 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3929 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3930 be queried.
3931 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3932 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3933 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3934 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3935
3936 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3937 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3938 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3939 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3940 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3941 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3942 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3943 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3944 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3945 [Richard Levitte]
3946
3947 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3948 provide utility functions which an application needing
3949 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3950 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3951 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3952
3953 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3954 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3955 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3956 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3957 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3958 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3959 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3960 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3961 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3962
3963 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3964 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3965 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3966 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3970 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3971 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3972 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3973 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3974 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3975 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3976 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3977 will be added elsewhere.
3978 [Steve Henson]
3979
3980 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3981 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3982 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3983 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3984 [Steve Henson]
3985
3986 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3987 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3988 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3989 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3990 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3991 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3992 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3993 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3994 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3995 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3996 to produce the required SET OF.
3997 [Steve Henson]
3998
3999 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4000 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4001 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4002 [Richard Levitte]
4003
4004 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4005 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4006 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4007 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4008 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4009 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4010 [Steve Henson]
4011
4012 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4013 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4014 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4018 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4019 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4020 [Richard Levitte]
4021
4022 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4023 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4024 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4025 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4026 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4030 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4031 [Steve Henson]
4032
4033 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4034 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4035 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4036 certifcates and CRLs.
4037 [Steve Henson]
4038
4039 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4040 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4041 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4045 entries for variables.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4049 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4050 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4051 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4052 [Bodo Moeller]
4053
4054 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4055 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4056 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4057 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4058 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4059 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4060 [Bodo Moeller]
4061
4062 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4063 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4064
4065 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4066 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4067 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4068 [Steve Henson]
4069
4070 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4071 print routines.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4075 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4076 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4077 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4078 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4079 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4083 [Steve Henson]
4084
4085 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4086 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4087 for now but they will eventually go away.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4091 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4092 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4093 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4094 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4095 has also been converted to the new form.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4099 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4100 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4101 for negative moduli.
4102 [Bodo Moeller]
4103
4104 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4105 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4106 [Bodo Moeller]
4107
4108 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4109 set.
4110 [Bodo Moeller]
4111
4112 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4113 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4114 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4115 type-specific callbacks.
4116 [Geoff Thorpe]
4117
4118 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4119 RFC 2712.
4120 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4121 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4122
4123 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4124 in sections depending on the subject.
4125 [Richard Levitte]
4126
4127 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4128 Windows.
4129 [Richard Levitte]
4130
4131 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4132 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4133 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4134 be handled deterministically).
4135 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4136
4137 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4138 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4139 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4140 [Bodo Moeller]
4141
4142 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4143 [Bodo Moeller]
4144
4145 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4146 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4147 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4148 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4149 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4150 [Bodo Moeller]
4151
4152 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4153 sign of the number in question.
4154
4155 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4156
4157 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4158 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4159 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4160 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4161 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4162 [Bodo Moeller]
4163
4164 *) New function BN_swap.
4165 [Bodo Moeller]
4166
4167 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4168 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4169 results on negative inputs.
4170 [Bodo Moeller]
4171
4172 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4173 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4174 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4175 [Bodo Moeller]
4176
4177 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4178 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4179 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4180 and add new functions:
4181
4182 BN_nnmod
4183 BN_mod_sqr
4184 BN_mod_add
4185 BN_mod_add_quick
4186 BN_mod_sub
4187 BN_mod_sub_quick
4188 BN_mod_lshift1
4189 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4190 BN_mod_lshift
4191 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4192
4193 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4194
4195 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4196 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4197
4198 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4199 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4200 be reduced modulo m.
4201 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4202
4203 #if 0
4204 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4205 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4206 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4207
4208 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4209 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4210 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4211 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4212 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4213 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4214 differing sizes.
4215 [Richard Levitte]
4216 #endif
4217
4218 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4219 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4220 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4221 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4222 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4223
4224 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4225 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4226 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4227 cause any problems.
4228 [Bodo Moeller]
4229
4230 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4231 [Richard Levitte]
4232
4233 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4234 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4235 [Richard Levitte]
4236
4237 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4238 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4239 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4240 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4241 time)
4242 [Richard Levitte]
4243
4244 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4245 [Richard Levitte]
4246
4247 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4248 [Richard Levitte]
4249
4250 *) Add the following functions:
4251
4252 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4253 ENGINE_load_chil()
4254 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4255 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4256 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4257
4258 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4259 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4260 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4261 libraries unless it's really needed.
4262
4263 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4264 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4265 declarations (they differed!).
4266 [Richard Levitte]
4267
4268 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4269 [Richard Levitte]
4270
4271 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4272 [Richard Levitte]
4273
4274 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4275 [Bodo Moeller]
4276
4277 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4278 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4279 [Richard Levitte]
4280
4281 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4282 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4283 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4284
4285 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4286 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4287 [Richard Levitte]
4288
4289 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4290 [Richard Levitte]
4291
4292 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4293 [Richard Levitte]
4294
4295 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4296 [Ben Laurie]
4297
4298 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4299 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4300 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4301
4302 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4303 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4304 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4305 different shared library filenames on each system.
4306 [Geoff Thorpe]
4307
4308 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4309 [Richard Levitte]
4310
4311 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4312 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4313 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4314 of two sections.
4315 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) NCONF changes.
4318 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4319 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4320 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4321 binary backward compatibility.
4322 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4323 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4324 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4325 LDAP server.
4326 [Richard Levitte]
4327
4328 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4329 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4330 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4331 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4332 this case.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4336 [Ben Laurie]
4337
4338 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4339 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4340 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4341 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4342 set.
4343 [Steve Henson]
4344
4345 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4346 [Richard Levitte]
4347
4348 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4349
4350 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4351 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4352 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4353
4354 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4355
4356 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4357
4358 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4359 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4360 [Steve Henson]
4361
4362 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4363
4364 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4365
4366 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4367 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4368
4369 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4370 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4371
4372 [Steve Henson]
4373
4374 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4375 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4376 specifications.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4380 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4381 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4382 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4383
4384 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4385 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4386 [Richard Levitte]
4387
4388 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4389
4390 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4391 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4392 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4393 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4394 [Bodo Moeller]
4395
4396 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4397 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4398 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4399 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4400 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4401
4402 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4403 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4404 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4405 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4406 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4407 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4408 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4409 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4410 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4411 [Bodo Moeller]
4412
4413 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4414
4415 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4416 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4417 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4418 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4419 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4420
4421 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4422 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4423 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4424
4425 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4426
4427 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4428 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4429 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4430 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4431 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4432 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4433 [Geoff Thorpe]
4434
4435 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4436 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4437 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4438 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4439 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4440 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4441
4442 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4443 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4444 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4445
4446 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4447 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4448 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4449 EVP_cleanup().
4450 [Richard Levitte]
4451
4452 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4453 being properly terminated.
4454 [Richard Levitte]
4455
4456 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4457 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4458 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4459 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4460
4461 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4462 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4463 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4464 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4465 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4466 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4467 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4468 change.
4469 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4470
4471 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4472 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4473 [Bodo Moeller]
4474
4475 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4476 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4477 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4478 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4479 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4480 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4481 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4482 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4483
4484 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4485 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4486 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4487 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4488 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4489
4490 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4491 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4492 [Steve Henson]
4493
4494 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4495
4496 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4497 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4498 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4499
4500 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4501
4502 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4503 and get fix the header length calculation.
4504 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4505 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4506 Steve Henson]
4507
4508 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4509 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4510 assertions could call abort()).
4511 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4512
4513 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4514
4515 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4516 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4517 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4518 supplied buffer.
4519 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4520
4521 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4522 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4523 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4524 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4525
4526 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4527 [Nils Larsch]
4528
4529 *) New option
4530 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4531 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4532 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4533
4534 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4535 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4536 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4537 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4538 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4539 applications.
4540 [Bodo Moeller]
4541
4542 *) Changes in security patch:
4543
4544 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4545 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4546 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4547 F30602-01-2-0537.
4548
4549 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4550 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4551 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4552 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4553 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4554
4555 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4556 happen in practice.
4557 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4558
4559 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4560 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4561 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4562
4563 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4564 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4565 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4566
4567 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4568 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4569 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4570
4571 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4572
4573 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4574 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4575 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4576
4577 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4578 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4579
4580 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4581 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4582 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4583 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4584 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4585 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4586 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4587
4588 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4589 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4590 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4591 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4592 [Bodo Moeller]
4593
4594 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4595 [Bodo Moeller]
4596
4597 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4598 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4599 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4600 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4601 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4602 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4603
4604 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4605 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4606 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4607 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4608 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4610
4611 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4612 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4613 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4614 BN_generate_prime().)
4615
4616 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4617 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4618 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4619 better.
4620 [Bodo Moeller]
4621
4622 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4623 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4624 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4625
4626 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4627 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4628 when using non-blocking I/O.
4629 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4630
4631 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4632 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4633
4634 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4635 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4636 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4637
4638 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4639 configuration for the versions before that.
4640 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4641
4642 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4643 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4644 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4645 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4646 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4647
4648 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4649 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4650 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4651 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4652
4653 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4654 value is 0.
4655 [Richard Levitte]
4656
4657 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4658 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4659 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4660
4661 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4662 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4663
4664 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4665 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4666 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4667 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4668 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4669 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4670 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4671 session cache.
4672
4673 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4674 using a local variable.
4675 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4676
4677 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4678 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4679 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4680
4681 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4682 [Richard Levitte]
4683
4684 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4685 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4686
4687 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4688 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4689 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4690
4691 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4692
4693 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4694 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4695 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4696 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4697 [Bodo Moeller]
4698
4699 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4700 present.
4701 [Steve Henson]
4702
4703 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4704 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4705 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4706 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4707 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4708
4709 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4710 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4711 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4712
4713 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4714 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4715 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4716
4717 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4718 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4719 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4720 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4721
4722 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4723 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4724 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4725 modules).
4726 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4727
4728 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4729 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4730 from 0.9.7.
4731 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4732
4733 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4734 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4735 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4736 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4737
4738 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4739 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4740 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4741 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4742
4743 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4744 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4745
4746 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4747 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4748 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4749 [Bodo Moeller]
4750
4751 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4752 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4753 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4754 become invalid.
4755 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4756
4757 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4758 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4759 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4760 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4761 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4762 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4763 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4764 [Bodo Moeller]
4765
4766 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4767 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4768 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4769 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4770
4771 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4772 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4773 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4774 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4775 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4776 the client will at least see that alert.
4777 [Bodo Moeller]
4778
4779 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4780 correctly.
4781 [Bodo Moeller]
4782
4783 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4784 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4785 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4786
4787 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4788 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4789 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4790 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4791 HelloRequest.
4792
4793 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4794 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4795 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4796
4797 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4798 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4799 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4800 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4801 may leak via logfiles.)
4802
4803 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4804 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4805 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4806 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4807 the legal range.
4808 [Bodo Moeller]
4809
4810 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4811 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4812 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4813
4814 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4815 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4816 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4817 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4818 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4819 [Bodo Moeller]
4820
4821 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4822 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4823
4824 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4825 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4826 followed by modular reduction.
4827 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4828
4829 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4830 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4831 [Bodo Moeller]
4832
4833 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4834 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4835 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4836 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4837 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4838
4839 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4840 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4841
4842 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4843 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4844 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4845
4846 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4847 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4848 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4849 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4850 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4851 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4852 automatically.
4853 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4854
4855 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4856 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4857 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4858 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4859 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4860
4861 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4862 [Andy Polyakov]
4863
4864 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4865 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4866 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4867 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4868 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4869 to allow the necessary settings.
4870 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4871
4872 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4873 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4874 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4875 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4876 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4877
4878 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4879 dh->length and always used
4880
4881 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4882
4883 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4884 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4885 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4886 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4887 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4888 dh->length.
4889
4890 So switch back to
4891
4892 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4893
4894 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4895 otherwise.
4896 [Bodo Moeller]
4897
4898 *) In
4899
4900 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4901 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4902 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4903 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4904
4905 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4906 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4907 always reject numbers >= n.
4908 [Bodo Moeller]
4909
4910 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4911 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4912 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4913 variable) is not atomic.
4914 [Bodo Moeller]
4915
4916 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4917 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4918 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4919 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4920
4921 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4922 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4923
4924 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4925 little-endian MIPS.
4926 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4927
4928 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4929 [Richard Levitte]
4930
4931 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4932
4933 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4934 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4935 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4936 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4937 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4938 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4939 to traverse all of 'state'.
4940
4941 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4942 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4943 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4944
4945 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4946 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4947
4948 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4949 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4950 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4951 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4952 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4953 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4954 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4955 further strengthens the PRNG.
4956 [Bodo Moeller]
4957
4958 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4959 [Andy Polyakov]
4960
4961 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4962 an error message in this case.
4963 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4964
4965 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4966 [Steve Henson]
4967
4968 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4969 positive and less than q.
4970 [Bodo Moeller]
4971
4972 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4973 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4974 that itself.
4975 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4976
4977 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4978 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4979 [Bodo Moeller]
4980
4981 *) Fix OAEP check.
4982 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4983
4984 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4985 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4986 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4987 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4988 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4989 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4990 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4991 paper.)
4992
4993 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4994 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4995 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4996 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4997
4998 Both problems are now fixed.
4999 [Bodo Moeller]
5000
5001 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5002 (previously it was 1024).
5003 [Bodo Moeller]
5004
5005 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5006 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5010 [Steve Henson]
5011
5012 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5013 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5014 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5015 [Steve Henson]
5016
5017 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5018 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5019 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5020 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5021 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5022 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5023 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5024 environment variables.
5025
5026 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5027 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5028 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5029 [Bodo Moeller]
5030
5031 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5032 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5033 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5034 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5035 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5036 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5037 [Bodo Moeller]
5038
5039 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5040 versions of 'test'.
5041 [Bodo Moeller]
5042
5043 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5044
5045 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5046 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5047
5048 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5049 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5050 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5051 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5052 CygWin.
5053 [Richard Levitte]
5054
5055 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5056 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5057 amount of data available.
5058 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5059 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5060
5061 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5062 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5063 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5064 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5065 [Bodo Moeller]
5066
5067 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5068 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5069 and UnixWare.
5070 [Richard Levitte]
5071
5072 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5073 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5074 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5075 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5076 [Ulf Moeller]
5077
5078 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5079 [Andy Polyakov]
5080
5081 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5082 [Richard Levitte]
5083
5084 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5085 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5086 [Steve Henson]
5087 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5088
5089 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5090 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5091 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5092 (but broken) behaviour.
5093 [Steve Henson]
5094
5095 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5096 it when found.
5097 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5098
5099 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5100 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5101 [Bodo Moeller]
5102
5103 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5104 did not exist.
5105 [Bodo Moeller]
5106
5107 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5108 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5109
5110 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5111 [Richard Levitte]
5112
5113 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5114 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5115 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5116
5117 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5118 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5119 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5120 [Steve Henson]
5121
5122 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5123 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5124 [Ulf Moeller]
5125
5126 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5127 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5128
5129 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5130
5131 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5132
5133 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5134 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5135 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5136 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5137 [Bodo Moeller]
5138
5139 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5140 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5141
5142 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5143 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5144 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5145
5146 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5147 was empty.
5148 [Steve Henson]
5149 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5150
5151 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5152 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5153 but the code is actually correct.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5157 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5158 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5159 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5160 and leaves the highest bit random.
5161 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5162
5163 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5164 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5165 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5166 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5167 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5168 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5169 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5170 [Bodo Moeller]
5171
5172 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5173 [Ulf Moeller]
5174
5175 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5176 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5177 [Steve Henson]
5178
5179 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5180 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5181 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5182 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5183 headers.
5184 [Richard Levitte]
5185
5186 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5187 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5188 and break the signature.
5189 [Steve Henson]
5190 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5191
5192 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5193 DH ciphersuites.
5194 [Steve Henson]
5195
5196 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5197 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5198 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5199 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5200 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5201 [Bodo Moeller]
5202
5203 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5204 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5205
5206 *) ./config script fixes.
5207 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5208
5209 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5210 [Bodo Moeller]
5211
5212 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5213 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5214 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5215 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5216 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5217
5218 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5219 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5220 [Bodo Moeller]
5221
5222 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5223 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5224 [Steve Henson]
5225
5226 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5227 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5228 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5229 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5230
5231 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5232 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5233
5234 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5235 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5236 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5237 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5238 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5239
5240 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5241 [Bodo Moeller]
5242
5243 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5244 [Ulf Möller]
5245
5246 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5247 [Ulf Möller]
5248
5249 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5250 [Bodo Moeller]
5251
5252 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5253 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5254 [Bodo Moeller]
5255
5256 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5257 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5258 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5259 result of the server certificate verification.)
5260 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5261
5262 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5263 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5264 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5265 [Bodo Moeller]
5266
5267 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5268 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5269 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5270 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5271 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5272 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5273 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5274 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5275 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5276 [Bodo Moeller]
5277
5278 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5279 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5280 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5281 happening the other way round.
5282 [Geoff Thorpe]
5283
5284 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5285 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5286 [Bodo Moeller]
5287
5288 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5289 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5290 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5291 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5292 [Richard Levitte]
5293
5294 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5295 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5296
5297 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5298
5299 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5300 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5301 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5302 that.
5303
5304 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5305
5306 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5307
5308 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5309 static ones.
5310 [Richard Levitte]
5311
5312 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5313
5314 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5315 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5316 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5317 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5318 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5319
5320 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5321 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5322 matter what.
5323 [Richard Levitte]
5324
5325 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5326 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5327
5328 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5329
5330 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5331 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5332 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5333 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5334 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5335 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5336 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5337 by the Finished messages.
5338 [Bodo Moeller]
5339
5340 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5341 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5342
5343 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5344 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5345 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5346 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5347 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5348 appropriately.
5349 [Steve Henson]
5350
5351 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5352 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5353 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5354 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5355 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5356 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5357 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5358 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5359 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5360 together.
5361 [Steve Henson]
5362
5363 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5364 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5365 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5366 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5367
5368 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5369 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5370 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5371 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5372 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5373 the answer.
5374
5375 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5376 been tested well enough.
5377 [Richard Levitte]
5378
5379 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5380 it can return incorrect results.
5381 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5382 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5383 [Bodo Moeller]
5384
5385 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5386 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5387 include zero length content when signing messages.
5388 [Steve Henson]
5389
5390 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5391 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5392 [Bodo Möller]
5393
5394 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5395 [Richard Levitte]
5396
5397 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5398 wrong sign.
5399 [Ulf Möller]
5400
5401 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5402 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5403 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5404 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5405 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5406 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5407 [Richard Levitte]
5408
5409 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5410 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5411
5412 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5413 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5414
5415 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5416 random number < q in the DSA library.
5417 [Ulf Möller]
5418
5419 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5420 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5421 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5422 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5423 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5424 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5425 just makes things more complicated.)
5426 [Bodo Moeller]
5427
5428 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5429 from EGD.
5430 [Ben Laurie]
5431
5432 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5433 work better on such systems.
5434 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5435
5436 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5437 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5438 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5439 [Steve Henson]
5440
5441 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5442 if there was more than one signature.
5443 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5444
5445 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5446 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5447 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5448 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5449 [Richard Levitte]
5450
5451 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5452 rather than always using the current time.
5453 [Steve Henson]
5454
5455 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5456 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5457 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5458 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5459 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5460 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5461
5462 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5463 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5464
5465 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5466
5467 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5468 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5469 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5470 the same hash value.
5471
5472 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5473 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5474 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5475 with X509_STORE internally.
5476
5477 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5478 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5479
5480 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5481 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5482 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5483 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5484 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5485 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5486 entirely (maybe later...).
5487
5488 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5489
5490 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5491 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5492 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5493 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5494 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5495 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5496 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5497 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5498
5499 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5500 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5501
5502 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5503 to customise the verify behaviour.
5504 [Steve Henson]
5505
5506 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5507 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5508 [Steve Henson]
5509
5510 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5511 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5512 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5513 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5514 request is improperly encoded.
5515 [Steve Henson]
5516
5517 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5518 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5519 BIO_write(b, ...).
5520
5521 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5522 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5523
5524 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5525 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5526 words set to zero.)
5527 [Bodo Moeller]
5528
5529 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5530 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5531 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5532 [Bodo Moeller]
5533
5534 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5535 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5536 BIO/fp routines also added.
5537 [Steve Henson]
5538
5539 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5540 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5541
5542 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5543 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5544 demos/state_machine.
5545 [Ben Laurie]
5546
5547 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5548 generation and verification.
5549 [Steve Henson]
5550
5551 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5552 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5553 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5554 encode and decode it manually.
5555 [Steve Henson]
5556
5557 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5558 compile under VC++.
5559 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5560
5561 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5562 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5563 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5564 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5565
5566 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5567 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5568 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5569 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5570 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5574 [Richard Levitte]
5575
5576 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5577 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5578 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5579
5580 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5581 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5582 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5583 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5584 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5585 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5586 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5587 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5588
5589 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5590 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5591
5592 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5593
5594 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5595 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5596 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5597
5598 [Richard Levitte]
5599
5600 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5601 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5602 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5603 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5604 [Richard Levitte]
5605
5606 *) MD4 implemented.
5607 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5608
5609 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5610 [Richard Levitte]
5611
5612 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5613 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5614 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5615 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5616 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5617 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5618 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5619 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5620 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5621 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5622 short or long names are found.
5623 [Steve Henson]
5624
5625 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5626 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5627
5628 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5629 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5630 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5631 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5632
5633 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5634 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5635 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5636 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5637 [Bodo Moeller]
5638
5639 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5640 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5641 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5642 [Richard Levitte]
5643
5644 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5645 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5646 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5647 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5648 to allow the various flags to be set.
5649 [Steve Henson]
5650
5651 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5652 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5653 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5654 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5655 dates to be checked.
5656 [Steve Henson]
5657
5658 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5659 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5660 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5661 [Steve Henson]
5662
5663 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5664 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5665 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5666 [Steve Henson]
5667
5668 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5669 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5670 [Bodo Moeller]
5671
5672 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5673 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5674 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5675 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5676 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5677 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5678 [Richard Levitte]
5679
5680 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5681 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5682 Random Numbers.
5683 [Ulf Möller]
5684
5685 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5686 DSA key.
5687 [Steve Henson]
5688
5689 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5690 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5691 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5692 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5693 form signing output easier to verify.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5697 [Steve Henson]
5698
5699 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5700 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5701 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5702 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5703 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5704 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5705 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5706 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5707 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5708 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5709 [Steve Henson]
5710
5711 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5712
5713 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5714 the syntax given in objects.README.
5715 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5716 obj_mac.h.
5717 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5718 obj_mac.h.
5719
5720 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5721 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5722 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5723 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5724 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5725 consistent name changes.
5726 [Richard Levitte]
5727
5728 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5729 [Bodo Moeller]
5730
5731 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5732 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5733 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5734 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5735 [Richard Levitte]
5736
5737 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5738 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5739 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5740 of safestack.h .
5741 [Steve Henson]
5742
5743 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5744 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5745 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5746 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5750 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5751 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5752 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5753 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5754 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5755 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5756 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5757 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5758 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5759 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5760 [Steve Henson]
5761
5762 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5763 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5764 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5765 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5766 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5767 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5768 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5769 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5770 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5771 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5772 [Steve Henson]
5773
5774 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5775 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5776 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5777 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5778
5779 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5780 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5781 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5782 omit any duplicate addresses.
5783 [Steve Henson]
5784
5785 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5786 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5787 [Bodo Moeller]
5788
5789 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5790 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5791 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5792 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5793 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5794 [Bodo Moeller]
5795
5796 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5797 software:
5798 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5799 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5800 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5801 Free => OPENSSL_free
5802 [Richard Levitte]
5803
5804 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5805 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5806 [Bodo Moeller]
5807
5808 *) CygWin32 support.
5809 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5810
5811 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5812 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5813 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5814 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5815 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5816 approach.
5817 [Geoff Thorpe]
5818
5819 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5820 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5821 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5822 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5823 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5824 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5825 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5826 [Geoff Thorpe]
5827
5828 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5829 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5830 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5831 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5832 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5833 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5834 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5835 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5836 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5837 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5838 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5839 [Bodo Moeller]
5840
5841 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5842 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5843 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5844 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5845 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5846
5847 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5848 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5849 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5850 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5851 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5852
5853 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5854 ciphers.
5855
5856 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5857 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5858 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5859 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5860
5861 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5862
5863 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5864 of macros.
5865
5866 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5867 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5868 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5869 flags.
5870
5871 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5872 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5873 any installed hardware versions can.
5874 [Steve Henson]
5875
5876 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5877 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5878 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5879 number.
5880 [Bodo Moeller]
5881
5882 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5883 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5884 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5885 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5886 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5887
5888 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5889 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5890 [Steve Henson]
5891
5892 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5893 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5894 [Richard Levitte]
5895
5896 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5897 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5898 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5899 features.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5903 [Ulf Möller]
5904
5905 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5906 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5907 but no ssl client purpose.
5908 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5909
5910 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5911 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5912 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5913 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5914 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5915 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5916 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5917 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5918 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5919 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5920 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5921 [Steve Henson]
5922
5923 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5924 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5925 be obtained from the error queue.
5926 [Bodo Moeller]
5927
5928 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5929 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5930 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5931 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5932 [Bodo Moeller]
5933
5934 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5935 [Ulf Möller]
5936
5937 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5938 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5939 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5940 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5941 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5942 [Geoff Thorpe]
5943
5944 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5945 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5946 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5947 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5948 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5949 [Geoff Thorpe]
5950
5951 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5952 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5953 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5954 may not be NULL.
5955 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5956
5957 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5958 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5959 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5960 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5961 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5962 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5963 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5964 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5965 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5966 or "the configuration storage API"...
5967
5968 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5969
5970 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5971 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5972
5973 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5974
5975 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5976
5977 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5978 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5979 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5980 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5981 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5982 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5983 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5984
5985 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5986 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5987 [Richard Levitte]
5988
5989 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5990 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5991 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5992 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5993 [Bodo Moeller]
5994
5995 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5996 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5997 them in a portable way.
5998 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5999
6000 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6001
6002 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6003
6004 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6005 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6006
6007 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6008 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6009 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6010 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6011
6012 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6013 was larger than the MD block size.
6014 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6015
6016 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6017 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6018 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6019 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6020 components.
6021 [Steve Henson]
6022
6023 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6024 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6025 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6026
6027 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6028 discouraged.
6029 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6030
6031 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6032 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6033 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6034 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6035 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6036 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6037
6038 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6039 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6040
6041 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6042 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6043 [Bodo Moeller]
6044
6045 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6046 [Bodo Moeller]
6047
6048 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6049 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6050 its own key.
6051 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6052 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6053 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6054 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6055 [Bodo Moeller]
6056
6057 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6058 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6059 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6060 does not suppress any output.
6061 [Richard Levitte]
6062
6063 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6064 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6065 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6066 with all the associated security issues.
6067
6068 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6069 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6070 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6071 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6072 use the value in the default purpose.
6073 [Steve Henson]
6074
6075 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6076 and fix a memory leak.
6077 [Steve Henson]
6078
6079 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6080 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6081 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6082 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6083 [Bodo Moeller]
6084
6085 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6086 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6087 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6088 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6089 [Bodo Moeller]
6090
6091 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6092 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6093 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6094 [Bodo Moeller]
6095
6096 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6097 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6098 [Bodo Moeller]
6099
6100 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6101 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6102 which was free.
6103 [Steve Henson]
6104
6105 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6106 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6107 [Bodo Moeller]
6108
6109 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6110 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6111 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6112 [Bodo Moeller]
6113
6114 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6115 number generation fails.
6116 [Bodo Moeller]
6117
6118 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6119 [Bodo Moeller]
6120
6121 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6122 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6123
6124 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6125 [Ulf Möller]
6126
6127 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6128 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6129
6130 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6131 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6132
6133 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6134
6135 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6136 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6137 [Steve Henson]
6138
6139 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6140 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6141
6142 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6143 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6144 [Ulf Möller]
6145
6146 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6147 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6148 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6149 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6150 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6151 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6152
6153 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6154 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6155 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6156 for example.
6157 [Steve Henson]
6158
6159 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6160 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6161 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6162 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6163 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6164 counter, some don't.)
6165 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6166 counters or duplicate objects.
6167 [Steve Henson]
6168
6169 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6170 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6171 [Steve Henson]
6172
6173 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6174 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6175 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6176
6177 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6178 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6179 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6180 or -rand.
6181 [Ulf Möller]
6182
6183 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6184 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6185 [Steve Henson]
6186
6187 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6188 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6189 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6190 cipher list.
6191 [Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6194 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6195 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6196 [Steve Henson]
6197
6198 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6199 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6200 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6201 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6202 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6203 should work without changes.
6204 [Richard Levitte]
6205
6206 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6207 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6208 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6209 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6210 must be defined. E.g.,
6211 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6212 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6213 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6214 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6215
6216 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6217 record layer.
6218 [Bodo Moeller]
6219
6220 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6221 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6222 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6223 [Steve Henson]
6224
6225 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6226 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6227 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6228 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6229 [Steve Henson]
6230
6231 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6232 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6233 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6234 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6235 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6236 is prompted for as usual.
6237 [Steve Henson]
6238
6239 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6240 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6241 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6242 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6243
6244 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6245 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6246 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6247 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6248 [Steve Henson]
6249
6250 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6251 [Andy Polyakov]
6252
6253 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6254 of seed file.
6255 [Steve Henson]
6256
6257 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6258 [Bodo Moeller]
6259
6260 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6261 [Steve Henson]
6262
6263 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6264 bits.
6265 [Ulf Möller]
6266
6267 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6268 [Ulf Möller]
6269
6270 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6271 [Andy Polyakov]
6272
6273 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6274 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6275 [Ulf Möller]
6276
6277 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6278 options to produce them.
6279 [Steve Henson]
6280
6281 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6282 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6283 [Ulf Möller]
6284
6285 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6286 for p == 0.
6287 [Ulf Möller]
6288
6289 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6290 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6291 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6292 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6293 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6294 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6295 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6296 [Steve Henson]
6297
6298 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6299 [Steve Henson]
6300
6301 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6302 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6303 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6304 [Bodo Moeller]
6305
6306 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6307 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6308
6309 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6310 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6311 [Ulf Möller]
6312
6313 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6314 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6315 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6316 has already seen).
6317 [Bodo Moeller]
6318
6319 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6320 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6321
6322 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6323 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6324 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6325 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6326 generation becomes much faster.
6327
6328 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6329 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6330 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6331 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6332 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6333 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6334 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6335 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6336 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6337 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6338 [Bodo Moeller]
6339
6340 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6341 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6342 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6343 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6344 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6345 trial division stage.
6346 [Bodo Moeller]
6347
6348 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6349 as ASN1_TIME.
6350 [Steve Henson]
6351
6352 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6353 [Steve Henson]
6354
6355 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6356 [Ulf Möller]
6357
6358 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6359 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6360 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6361 the comments.
6362 [Ulf Möller]
6363
6364 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6365 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6366 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6367 [Bodo Moeller]
6368
6369 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6370 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6371 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6372 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6373
6374 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6375 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6376 [Steve Henson]
6377
6378 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6379 [Ulf Möller]
6380
6381 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6382 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6383 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6384 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6385 [Ulf Möller]
6386
6387 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6388 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6389 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6390 [Ulf Möller]
6391
6392 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6393 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6394 (instead of parameters) in future.
6395 [Steve Henson]
6396
6397 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6398 when a new cipher list is set.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6402 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6403 wrong.
6404
6405 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6406 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6407 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6408
6409 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6410 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6411 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6412 an error is flagged.
6413
6414 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6415 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6416 the readability was also increased :-)
6417 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6418
6419 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6420 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6421 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6422 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6423 as the root CA.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6427 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6428 [Steve Henson]
6429
6430 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6431 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6432 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6433 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6434 instead.
6435
6436 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6437 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6438 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6439 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6440 because they handle more complex structures.)
6441 [Steve Henson]
6442
6443 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6444 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6445 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6446 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6447
6448 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6449 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6450 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6451 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6452 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6453 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6454 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6455 [Ulf Möller]
6456
6457 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6458 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6459 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6460 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6461 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6462 [Bodo Moeller]
6463
6464 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6465 [Bodo Moeller]
6466
6467 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6468 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6469 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6470 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6471 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6472 to use this.
6473
6474 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6475 code.
6476 [Steve Henson]
6477
6478 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6479 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6480 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6481 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6482 [Steve Henson]
6483
6484 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6485 [Ulf Möller]
6486
6487 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6488 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6489 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6490 international characters are used.
6491
6492 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6493 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6494 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6495 in ASN1 order.
6496 [Steve Henson]
6497
6498 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6499 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6500 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6501 request.
6502
6503 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6504 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6505 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6506 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6507 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6508 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6509
6510 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6511 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6512 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6513 be handled by the string table functions.
6514
6515 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6516 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6517 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6518 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6519 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6520 types at all.
6521 [Steve Henson]
6522
6523 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6524 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6525 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6526 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6527 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6528
6529 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6530 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6531 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6532 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6533 [Bodo Moeller]
6534
6535 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6536 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6537 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6538 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6539 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6540 SHA1.
6541 [Andy Polyakov]
6542
6543 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6544 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6545 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6546 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6547 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6548 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6549 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6550 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6551
6552 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6553 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6554 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6555 [Steve Henson]
6556
6557 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6558 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6559 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6560 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6561 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6562 support to pkcs8 application.
6563 [Steve Henson]
6564
6565 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6566 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6567 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6568 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6569 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6570 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6571 [Bodo Moeller]
6572
6573 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6574 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6575 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6576 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6577 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6578 consistency.
6579 [Bodo Moeller]
6580
6581 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6582 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6583 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6584 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6585 example.
6586 [Steve Henson]
6587
6588 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6589 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6590 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6591 and any application specific purposes.
6592
6593 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6594 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6595 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6596 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6597 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6598 if the certificate is self signed.
6599 [Steve Henson]
6600
6601 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6602 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6603 [Steve Henson]
6604
6605 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6606 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6607 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6608 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6612 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6613 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6614 Update documentation.
6615 [Steve Henson]
6616
6617 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6618 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6619 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6620 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6621 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6622 [Steve Henson]
6623
6624 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6625 for details.
6626 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6627
6628 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6629 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6630 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6631 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6632 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6633 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6634 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6635 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6636 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6637 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6638
6639 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6640
6641 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6642 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6643 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6644 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6645 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6646
6647 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6648 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6649 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6650 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6651 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6652 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6653 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6654 request additional information:
6655 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6656 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6657
6658 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6659 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6660 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6661 options.
6662
6663 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6664 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6665
6666 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6667 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6668 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6669
6670 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6671 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6672
6673 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6674 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6675 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6676 algorithm.
6677 [Steve Henson]
6678
6679 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6680 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6681 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6682
6683 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6684 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6685 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6686 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6687 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6688 included in OpenSSL.
6689 [Steve Henson]
6690
6691 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6692 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6693 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6694 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6695 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6696 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6697 [Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6700 PKCS12 structure.
6701 [Steve Henson]
6702
6703 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6704 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6705 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6706 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6707 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6708 structure.
6709 [Steve Henson]
6710
6711 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6712 need initialising.
6713 [Steve Henson]
6714
6715 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6716 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6717 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6718 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6719 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6720 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6721 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6722 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6723 be maintained manually.
6724
6725 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6726 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6727 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6728 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6729 work because people forget to call this function]
6730 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6731 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6732 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6733 [Steve Henson]
6734
6735 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6736 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6737 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6738 should be discouraged from doing it.
6739 [Ben Laurie]
6740
6741 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6742 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6743 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6744 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6745 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6746 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6747 [Steve Henson]
6748
6749 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6750 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6751 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6752
6753 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6754 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6755 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6756
6757 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6758 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6759 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6760 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6761 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6762 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6763
6764 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6765 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6766 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6767
6768 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6769 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6770 and vice versa.
6771
6772 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6773 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6774 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6775 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6776 [Steve Henson]
6777
6778 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6779 [Steve Henson]
6780
6781 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6782 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6783 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6784 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6785 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6786 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6787 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6788 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6789 keys so we should be OK.
6790
6791 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6792 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6793 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6794 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6795 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6796 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6797 stay in the name of compatibility.
6798
6799 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6800 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6801 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6802
6803 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6804 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6805 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6806 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6807 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6808 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6809 supplied key).
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6813 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6814 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6815 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6816 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6817 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6818 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6819 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6820 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6821 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6822 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6823 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6824 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6825 [Steve Henson]
6826
6827 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6828 [Steve Henson]
6829
6830 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6831 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6832 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6833 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6834 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6835 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6836 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6837 openssl verify ss.pem
6838 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6839 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6840 is OK.
6841 [Steve Henson]
6842
6843 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6844 (and add it to external session representation).
6845 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6846 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6847 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6848 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6849 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6850 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6851 security holes.
6852 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6853
6854 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6855 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6856 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6857 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6860 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6861 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6862 [Steve Henson]
6863
6864 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6865 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6866 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6867 code.
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6871 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6872 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6873
6874 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6875 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6876 certificate auxiliary information.
6877 [Steve Henson]
6878
6879 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6880 the 'enc' command.
6881 [Steve Henson]
6882
6883 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6884 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6885 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6886 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6887 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6888 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6889 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6890 [Richard Levitte]
6891
6892 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6893 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6894 [Steve Henson]
6895
6896 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6897 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6898 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6899 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6900 [Steve Henson]
6901
6902 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6906 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6907 [Steve Henson]
6908
6909 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6910 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6911 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6912 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6913 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6914 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6915 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6916 using the new 'x509' options.
6917
6918 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6919 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6920 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6921 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6922 for all purposes.
6923 [Steve Henson]
6924
6925 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6926 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6927 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6928 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6929 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6930 [Mark Cox]
6931
6932 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6933 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6934 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6935 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6936 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6937 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6938 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6939 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6940 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6941 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6942 [Steve Henson]
6943
6944 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6945 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6946 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6947 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6948 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6949 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6950 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6951 [Steve Henson]
6952
6953 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6954 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6955 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6956 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6957 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6958 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6959 openssl.cnf for more info.
6960 [Steve Henson]
6961
6962 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6963 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6964 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6965 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6966 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6967 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6968 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6969 md should be large enough anyway.
6970 [Bodo Moeller]
6971
6972 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6973 for handling the random seed file.
6974
6975 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6976 ca,
6977 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6978 s_client,
6979 s_server,
6980 x509 (when signing).
6981 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6982 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6983 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6984
6985 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6986 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6987 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6988 that support '-rand'.
6989 [Bodo Moeller]
6990
6991 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6992 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6993 [Bodo Moeller]
6994
6995 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6996 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6997 [Bill Perry]
6998
6999 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7000 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7001 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7002 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7003 is suitable.
7004 [Steve Henson]
7005
7006 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7007 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7008 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7009 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7010 [Steve Henson]
7011
7012 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7013 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7014 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7015 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7016 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7017 print out all the purposes.
7018 [Steve Henson]
7019
7020 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7021 functions.
7022 [Steve Henson]
7023
7024 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7025 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7026 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7027 single function call.
7028 [Steve Henson]
7029
7030 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7031 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7032 [Andy Polyakov]
7033
7034 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7035 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7036 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7037 [Steve Henson]
7038
7039 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7040 when producing the local key id.
7041 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7042
7043 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7044 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7045 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7046 "server.pem".
7047 [Steve Henson]
7048
7049 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7050 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7051 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7052 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7053 [Steve Henson]
7054
7055 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7056 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7057 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7058 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7059
7060 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7061 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7062 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7063 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7064
7065 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7066 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7067 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7068 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7069 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7070 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7071 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7072 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7073 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7074 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7075 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7076 trivial: move one line.
7077 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7078
7079 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7080 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7081 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7082 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7083 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7084 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7085 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7086 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7087 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7088 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7089 with an event loop for example.
7090 [Steve Henson]
7091
7092 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7093 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7094 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7095 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7096 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7097 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7098 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7099 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7100 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7104 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7105 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7106 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7107 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7108 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7109 [Steve Henson]
7110
7111 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7112 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7113 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7114 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7115
7116 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7117 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7118 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7119 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7120 key generation.
7121 [Steve Henson]
7122
7123 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7124 (still largely untested)
7125 [Bodo Moeller]
7126
7127 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7128 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7129 [Steve Henson]
7130
7131 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7132 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7133 [Steve Henson]
7134
7135 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7136 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7137 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7138 [Bodo Moeller]
7139
7140 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7141 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7142 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7143 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7144 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7145 [Steve Henson]
7146
7147 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7148 [Andy Polyakov]
7149
7150 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7151 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7152 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7153 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7154 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7155 in ca.
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7159 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7160 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7161 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7162 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7163 [Steve Henson]
7164
7165 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7166 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7167 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7168 are otherwise ignored at present.
7169 [Steve Henson]
7170
7171 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7172 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7173 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7174 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7175 copied until the next read.
7176 [Steve Henson]
7177
7178 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7179 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7180 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7184 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7185 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7186 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7187 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7188 associated functions.
7189 [Steve Henson]
7190
7191 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7192 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7193 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7194 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7195 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7196 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7197 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7198 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7199 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7200 memory BIOs.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7204 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7205 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7206 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7207 [Bodo Moeller]
7208
7209 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7210 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7211 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7212 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7213 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7214 functionality.
7215 [Steve Henson]
7216
7217 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7218 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7219 under Win32.
7220 [Steve Henson]
7221
7222 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7223 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7224 extensions to be obtained and added.
7225 [Steve Henson]
7226
7227 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7228 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7229 [Bodo Moeller]
7230
7231 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7232
7233 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7234 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7235
7236 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7237 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7238
7239 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7240 program.
7241 [Steve Henson]
7242
7243 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7244 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7245 DH parameters contain its length).
7246
7247 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7248 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7249 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7250 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7251 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7252 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7253 utter importance to use
7254 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7255 or
7256 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7257 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7258 attacks may become possible!
7259 [Bodo Moeller]
7260
7261 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7262 [Bodo Moeller]
7263
7264 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7265 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7269 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7270 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7271 or long name.
7272 [Steve Henson]
7273
7274 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7275 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7276 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7277 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7278 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7279 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7280 private key operations.
7281 [Steve Henson]
7282
7283 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7284 [Andy Polyakov]
7285
7286 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7287 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7288 to
7289 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7290 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7291 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7292 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7293 the password callback is called.
7294 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7295
7296 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7297
7298 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7299 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7300 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7301 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7302 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7303 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7304 this will work.
7305
7306 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7307 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7308 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7309 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7310 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7311 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7312 [Bodo Moeller]
7313
7314 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7315 [Andy Polyakov]
7316
7317 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7318 delete an unused file.
7319 [Ulf Möller]
7320
7321 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7322 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7323 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7324 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7328 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7329 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7330 of an error.
7331 [Bodo Moeller]
7332
7333 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7334 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7335 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7336
7337 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7338 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7339 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7340 comparison" warnings.
7341 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7342 [Steve Henson]
7343
7344 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7345 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7346 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7347 [Steve Henson]
7348
7349 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7350 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7351
7352 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7353 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7354
7355 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7356 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7357 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7358
7359 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7360 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7361 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7362 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7363 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7364 this bug.
7365 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7366
7367 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7368 The interface is as follows:
7369 Applications can use
7370 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7371 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7372 "off" is now the default.
7373 The library internally uses
7374 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7375 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7376 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7377
7378 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7379 even the default) are now avoided.
7380
7381 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7382 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7383 than just having a counter.
7384
7385 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7386
7387 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7388 extensions.
7389 [Bodo Moeller]
7390
7391 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7392 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7393 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7394 Initial "mode" flags are:
7395
7396 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7397 a single record has been written.
7398 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7399 retries use the same buffer location.
7400 (But all of the contents must be
7401 copied!)
7402 [Bodo Moeller]
7403
7404 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7405 worked.
7406
7407 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7408 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7409
7410 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7411 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7412 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7413 [Steve Henson]
7414
7415 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7416 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7417 test programs.
7418 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7419
7420 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7421 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7422 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7423 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7424 point to the end.
7425 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7426 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7427
7428 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7429 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7430 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7431 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7432 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7433 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7434 [Steve Henson]
7435
7436 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7437 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7438 necessary function names.
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7442 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7443 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7444 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7445 [Bodo Moeller]
7446
7447 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7448 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7449 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7450 [Steve Henson]
7451
7452 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7453 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7454 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7455 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7456 such programs?)
7457 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7458 need locks.
7459 [Bodo Moeller]
7460
7461 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7462 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7463 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7464 [Bodo Moeller]
7465
7466 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7467 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7468 appropriate.
7469 [Bodo Moeller]
7470
7471 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7472 for the encoded length.
7473 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7474
7475 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7476 [Steve Henson]
7477
7478 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7479 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7480 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7481 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7482 [Steve Henson]
7483
7484 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7485 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7487
7488 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7489 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7490 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7491 unusual formatting.
7492 [Steve Henson]
7493
7494 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7495 to use the new extension code.
7496 [Steve Henson]
7497
7498 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7499 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7500 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7501 constant.
7502 [Steve Henson]
7503
7504 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7505 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7506 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7507 [Bodo Moeller]
7508
7509 #if 0
7510 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7511 [Ben Laurie]
7512 #else
7513 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7514 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7515 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7516 #endif
7517
7518 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7519 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7520 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7521 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7522 [Ben Laurie]
7523
7524 *) DES library cleanups.
7525 [Ulf Möller]
7526
7527 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7528 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7529 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7530 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7531 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7532 of v2.0.
7533 [Steve Henson]
7534
7535 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7536 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7537 [Bodo Moeller]
7538
7539 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7540 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7541 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7542 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7543 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7544 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7545 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7546 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7547 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7548 [Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7551 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7552 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7553 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7554 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7555 value doesn't matter.
7556 [Steve Henson]
7557
7558 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7559 support mutable.
7560 [Ben Laurie]
7561
7562 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7563 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7564 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7565 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7566
7567 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7568 [Ulf Möller]
7569
7570 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7571 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7572 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7573
7574 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7575 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7576
7577 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7578 [Ben Laurie]
7579
7580 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7581 [Ben Laurie]
7582
7583 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7584 [Ben Laurie]
7585
7586 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7587 [Bodo Moeller]
7588
7589
7590 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7591
7592 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7593
7594 *) Updated some demos.
7595 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7596
7597 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7598 [Wu Zhigang]
7599
7600 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7601 [Steve Henson]
7602
7603 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7604 [Steve Henson]
7605
7606 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7607 instead of using a fixed path.
7608 [Bodo Moeller]
7609
7610 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7611 [Andy Polyakov]
7612
7613 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7614 [Richard Levitte]
7615
7616
7617 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7618
7619 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7620 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7621 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7622
7623 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7624 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7625 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7626 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7627 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7628 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7629 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7630 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7631 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7632 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7633 [Steve Henson]
7634
7635 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7636 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7637 [Steve Henson]
7638
7639 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7640 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7641 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7642 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7643 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7644
7645 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7646 [Bodo Moeller]
7647
7648 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7649 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7650 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7651 [Steve Henson]
7652
7653 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7654 [Ben Laurie]
7655
7656 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7657 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7658 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7659 key elements as negative integers.
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7663 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7664
7665 *) VMS support.
7666 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7667
7668 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7669 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7670 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7671 [Steve Henson]
7672
7673 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7674 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7675 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7676 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7677 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7678 [Bodo Moeller]
7679
7680 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7681 [Ulf Möller]
7682
7683 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7684 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7685 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7686 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7687
7688 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7689 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7690 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7691
7692 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7693 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7694 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7695 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7696 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7697 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7698 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7699 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7700 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7701
7702 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7703 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7704 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7705 does not influence s as it used to.
7706
7707 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7708 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7709 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7710 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7711 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7712 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7713 [Bodo Moeller]
7714
7715 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7716 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7717 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7718 key type.
7719 [Steve Henson]
7720
7721 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7722 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7723 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7724 and 'x509').
7725 [Steve Henson]
7726
7727 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7728 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7729 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7730 extension option.
7731 [Steve Henson]
7732
7733 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7734 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7735 [Ben Laurie]
7736
7737 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7738 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7739
7740 *) Support Mingw32.
7741 [Ulf Möller]
7742
7743 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7744 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7745
7746 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7747 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7748
7749 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7750 [Ulf Möller]
7751
7752 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7753 [Anonymous]
7754
7755 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7757
7758 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7759 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7760 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7761 DER-encoded.)
7762 [Bodo Moeller]
7763
7764 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7765 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7766 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7767 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7768 now it really counts the depth.
7769 [Bodo Moeller]
7770
7771 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7772 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7773 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7774 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7775 didn't match the private key).
7776
7777 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7778 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7779 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7780 [Bodo Moeller]
7781
7782 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7783 [Ulf Möller]
7784
7785 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7786 David Harris.
7787 [Bodo Moeller]
7788
7789 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7790 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7791 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7795 [Bodo Moeller]
7796
7797 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7798 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7799 such as /usr/local/bin.
7800 [Bodo Moeller]
7801
7802 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7803 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7804
7805 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7806 [Ulf Möller]
7807
7808 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7809 extension adding in x509 utility.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7813 [Ulf Möller]
7814
7815 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7816 prototypes.
7817 [Steve Henson]
7818
7819 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7820 [Ulf Möller]
7821
7822 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7823 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7824 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7825 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7826 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7827 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7828 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7829 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7830 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7831 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7832 [Steve Henson]
7833
7834 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7838 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7839 [Bodo Moeller]
7840
7841 *) Fix some race conditions.
7842 [Bodo Moeller]
7843
7844 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7845 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7846 [Steve Henson]
7847
7848 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7849 [Ulf Möller]
7850
7851 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7852 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7853 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7854 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7855
7856 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7857 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7858
7859 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7860 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7861 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7862
7863 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7864 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7865
7866 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7867 [Ulf Möller]
7868
7869 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7870 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7871
7872 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7873 [Ulf Möller]
7874
7875 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7876 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7877
7878 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7879 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7880 [Steve Henson]
7881
7882 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7883 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7884 [Ben Laurie]
7885
7886 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7887 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7891 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7892 [Steve Henson]
7893
7894 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7895 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7896 [Steve Henson]
7897
7898 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7899 support typesafe stack.
7900 [Steve Henson]
7901
7902 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7903 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7904
7905 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7906 old X509V3 handling code.
7907 [Steve Henson]
7908
7909 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7910 [Ulf Möller]
7911
7912 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7913 [Bodo Moeller]
7914
7915 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7916 [Ben Laurie]
7917
7918 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7919 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7920
7921 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7922 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7923 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7924 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7925 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7926 [Ben Laurie]
7927
7928 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7929 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7930 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7931 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7932 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7933
7934 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7935 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7936 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7938
7939 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7940 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7941 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7943
7944 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7945 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7946 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7947 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7948 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7949 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7950 [Bodo Moeller]
7951
7952 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7953 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7954 [Bodo Moeller]
7955
7956 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7957 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7958 [Ulf Möller]
7959
7960 *) Tweaks to Configure
7961 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7962
7963 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7964 yet...
7965 [Steve Henson]
7966
7967 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7968 [Ulf Möller]
7969
7970 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7971 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7972 [Ulf Möller]
7973
7974 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7975 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7976 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7977 [Bodo Moeller]
7978
7979 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7983 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7984 [Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7987 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7988 to library startup routines.
7989 [Steve Henson]
7990
7991 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7992 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7993 codes along the way.
7994 [Steve Henson]
7995
7996 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7997 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7998 objects to objects.h
7999 [Steve Henson]
8000
8001 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8002 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8003 [Steve Henson]
8004
8005 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8006 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8007
8008 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8009 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8010 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8011
8012 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8013 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8014 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8015
8016 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8017 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8018 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8019
8020
8021 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8022
8023 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8024 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8025 [Ben Laurie]
8026
8027 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8028 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8029 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8030 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8031 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8032
8033 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8034 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8035 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8036 document.
8037 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8038
8039 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8040 Malloc, Free.
8041 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8042
8043 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8044 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8045
8046 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8047 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8048 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8049 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8050
8051 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8052 [Ben Laurie]
8053
8054 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8055 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8056 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8057 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8058 [Steve Henson]
8059
8060 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8061 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8062 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8063 [Steve Henson]
8064
8065 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8066 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8067 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8068 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8069 installed as `perl').
8070 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8071
8072 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8073 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8074
8075 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8076 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8077 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8078 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8079 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8080 [Steve Henson]
8081
8082 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8083 [Ben Laurie]
8084
8085 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8086 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8087 is horrible: I feel ill....
8088 [Steve Henson]
8089
8090 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8091 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8092 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8093 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8094 [Steve Henson]
8095
8096 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8098
8099 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8100 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8101 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8103
8104 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8105 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8106 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8107 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8108 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8109 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8110 openssl_bio.xs.
8111 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8112
8113 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8114 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8115
8116 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8117 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8118
8119 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8120 [Ben Laurie]
8121
8122 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8123 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8124 in CRLs.
8125 [Steve Henson]
8126
8127 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8128 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8129 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8130 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8131 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8132 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8133 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8134 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8135 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8136 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8138
8139 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8140 [Ben Laurie]
8141
8142 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8143 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8144 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8145 for linking it into DSOs.
8146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8147
8148 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8149 Fixed.
8150 [Ben Laurie]
8151
8152 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8153 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8154 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8155 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8156 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8157 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8158
8159 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8160 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8161 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8162 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8163 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8164 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8165 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8166
8167 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8168 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8169 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8170 encryption.
8171 [Ben Laurie]
8172
8173 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8174 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8175 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8176 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8177 [Steve Henson]
8178
8179 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8180 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8181 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8182 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8183 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8184 field as blank.
8185 [Steve Henson]
8186
8187 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8188 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8189 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8190 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8191 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8192
8193 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8194 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8195 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8196
8197 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8198 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8199
8200 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8201 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8202 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8203 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8204 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8205 [Steve Henson]
8206
8207 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8208 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8209 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8210 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8211 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8212 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8213 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8214 [Ben Laurie]
8215
8216 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8217 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8218 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8219 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8220 [Ben Laurie]
8221
8222 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8223 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8224
8225 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8226 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8230 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8231 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8232 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8233 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8234 (e.g. s_server).
8235 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8236 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8237 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8238 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8239 no way to reconfigure them.
8240 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8241 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8242 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8243 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8244 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8245 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8246
8247 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8248 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8249 recognized by the users.
8250 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8251
8252 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8253 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8254 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8255 already masked variable.
8256 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8257
8258 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8259 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8260
8261 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8262 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8263 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8264 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8265
8266 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8267 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8268 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8269
8270 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8271 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8272 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8273 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8274 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8275 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8276 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8277 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8278 now, too.
8279 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8280
8281 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8282 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8283 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8284
8285 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8286 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8287 config file.
8288 [Steve Henson]
8289
8290 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8291 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8292
8293 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8294 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8295 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8296 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8297 [Ben Laurie]
8298
8299 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8300 [Steve Henson]
8301
8302 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8303 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8304
8305 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8306 [Ben Laurie]
8307
8308 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8309 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8310 [Steve Henson]
8311
8312 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8313 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8314 [Steve Henson]
8315
8316 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8317 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8318 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8319 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8320 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8321 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8322 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8323 Ben Laurie]
8324
8325 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8326 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8327
8328 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8329 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8330 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8331 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8332 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8333
8334 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8335 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8336 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8337 [Steve Henson]
8338
8339 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8340 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8341 an example.
8342 [Steve Henson]
8343
8344 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8345 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8346 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8347
8348 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8349 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8350 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8351 build instructions.
8352 [Steve Henson]
8353
8354 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8355 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8356 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8357 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8358 [Steve Henson]
8359
8360 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8361 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8362 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8363 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8364 [Ben Laurie]
8365
8366 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8367 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8368 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8369 so it wasn't spotted.
8370 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8371
8372 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8373 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8374 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8375 vectors if you have them.
8376 [Ben Laurie]
8377
8378 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8379 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8380 [Ben Laurie]
8381
8382 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8383 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8384 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8385 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8386 If you do a:
8387 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8388 it will update them.
8389 [Steve Henson]
8390
8391 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8392 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8393 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8394 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8395 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8396 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8397 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8398 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8399
8400 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8401 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8402 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8403 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8404 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8405 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8406 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8407 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8408 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8409 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8410
8411 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8412 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8413 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8414 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8415 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8416 [Steve Henson]
8417
8418 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8419 INTEGER code.
8420 [Steve Henson]
8421
8422 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8423 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8424
8425 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8426 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8427
8428 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8429 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8430 [Ben Laurie]
8431
8432 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8433 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8434
8435 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8436 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8437
8438 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8439 [Steve Henson]
8440
8441 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8442 few typos.
8443 [Steve Henson]
8444
8445 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8446 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8447 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8448 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8449
8450 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8451 [Steve Henson]
8452
8453 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8454 [Steve Henson]
8455
8456 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8457 [Steve Henson]
8458
8459 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8460 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8464 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8465 CA extensions.
8466 [Steve Henson]
8467
8468 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8469 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8470 [Steve Henson]
8471
8472 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8473 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8474 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8475 [Steve Henson]
8476
8477 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8478 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8479 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8480 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8481 properly to be processed.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8485 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8486 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8487 [Ben Laurie]
8488
8489 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8490 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8491
8492 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8493 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8494 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8495 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8496 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8497 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8498 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8499 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8500 or delete all the .err files.
8501 [Steve Henson]
8502
8503 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8504 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8505 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8506 to regenerate it if needed.
8507 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8508 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8509
8510 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8511 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8512
8513 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8514 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8515 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8516 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8517 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8518 [Steve Henson]
8519
8520 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8521 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8522
8523 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8524 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8525
8526 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8527 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8528 error, but didn't set one).
8529 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8530
8531 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8532 [Ben Laurie]
8533
8534 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8535 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8536 [Steve Henson]
8537
8538 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8539 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8540
8541 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8542 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8543 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8544 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8545 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8546 OID is not part of the table.
8547 [Steve Henson]
8548
8549 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8550 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8551 [Ben Laurie]
8552
8553 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8554 [Ben Laurie]
8555
8556 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8557 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8558 was "1234").
8559 [Steve Henson]
8560
8561 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8562 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8563
8564 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8565 NULL pointers.
8566 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8567
8568 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8569 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8570
8571 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8572 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8573
8574 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8575 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8576
8577 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8578 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8579 [Ben Laurie]
8580
8581 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8582 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8583 [Steve Henson]
8584
8585 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8586 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8587
8588 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8589 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8590
8591 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8592 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8593
8594 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8595 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8596
8597 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8598 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8599 unused in the certificate verification process.
8600 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8601
8602 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8603 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8607 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8608 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8609
8610 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8611 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8612 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8613 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8614 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8615
8616 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8617 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8618 [Steve Henson]
8619
8620 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8621 [Steve Henson]
8622
8623 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8624 [Paul Sutton]
8625
8626 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8627 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8628
8629 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8630 [Ben Laurie]
8631
8632 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8633 [Ben Laurie]
8634
8635 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8636 [Ben Laurie]
8637
8638 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8639 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8640 other error libraries.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8644 [Steve Henson]
8645
8646 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8647 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8648 be read in.
8649 [Steve Henson]
8650
8651 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8652 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8653 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8654 the new set of documenation files.
8655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8656
8657 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8658 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8659 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8660 number of arguments.
8661 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8662
8663 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8664 [Ben Laurie]
8665
8666 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8667 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8668 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8669
8670 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8671 [Ben Laurie]
8672
8673 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8674 nextstep
8675 ncr-scde
8676 unixware-2.0
8677 unixware-2.0-pentium
8678 sco5-cc.
8679 [Ben Laurie]
8680
8681 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8682 before they are needed.
8683 [Ben Laurie]
8684
8685 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8686 [Ben Laurie]
8687
8688
8689 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8690
8691 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8692 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8694
8695 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8696 [Paul Sutton]
8697
8698 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8699 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8700 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8701
8702 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8703 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8704 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8705
8706 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8707 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8708 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8709
8710 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8711 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8712
8713 *) Updated the README file.
8714 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8715
8716 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8717 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8718 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8719
8720 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8721 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8723
8724 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;

8737 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8738 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8739
8740 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8741 [Mark J. Cox]
8742
8743 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8744 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8745 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8746 summer 1998.

8760 [Eric A. Young]
8761
8762 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8763 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8764 available).
8765 [Eric A. Young]
8766

8824 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8825 [Eric A. Young]
8826
8827 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8828 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8829 [Eric A. Young]
8830
8831 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8832 [Eric A. Young]
