5 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) The code that handled flusing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
8 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
9 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
10 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
11 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
12 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
13 [Steve Henson]
14
15 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
16 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
17 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
18 [Steve Henson]
19
20 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
21 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
22 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
23 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
24 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
25 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
26 CVE-2009-4355.
27 [Steve Henson]
28
29 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
30 change when encrypting or decrypting.
31 [Bodo Moeller]
32
33 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
34 connect (but not renegotiate) with servers which do not support RI.
35 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
36 [Steve Henson]
37
38 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
39 [Steve Henson]
40
41 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
42 a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
43 Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
44 when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
45 this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
46 receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
47 error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
48 expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
49 denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
50 [Steve Henson]
51
52 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
53 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
54 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
55 [Steve Henson]
56
57 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
58 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
59 [Steve Henson]
60
61 *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation-03. Re-enable
62 renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
63 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
64 bad idea. It has been replaced by
65 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
66 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
67 know what you are doing.
68 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
69
70 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
71 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
72 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
73 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
74 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
75 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
76 the handshake.
77 [Steve Henson]
78
79 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
80 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
81 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
82 correctly.
83 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
84
85 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
86 warnings in other configurations.
87 [Steve Henson]
88
89 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
90 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
91 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
92 systems need.
93 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
94
95 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
96 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
97 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
98
99 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
100 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
101 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
102 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
103 [Steve Henson]
104
105 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
106 and restored.
107 [Steve Henson]
108
109 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
110 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
111 clash.
112 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
113
114 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
115 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
116 other than a simple chain.
117 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
118
119 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
120 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
121 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
122 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
123 [Steve Henson]
124
125 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
126 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
127 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
128 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
129 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
130 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
131 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
132 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
133 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
134
135 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
136 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
137 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
138 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
139 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
140 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
141 (CVE-2009-1377)
142 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
143
144 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
145 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
146 [Daniel Mentz]
147
148 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
149 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
150
151 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
152 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
153
154 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
155
156 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
157 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
158 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
159 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
160 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
161 you're doing.
162 [Ben Laurie]
163
164 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
165
166 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
167 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
168 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
169 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
170
171 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
172 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
173 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
174 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
175
176 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
177 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
178 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
179 [Steve Henson]
180
181 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
182 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
183 level.
184 [Steve Henson]
185
186 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
187 to handle some structures.
188 [Steve Henson]
189
190 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
191 for a '\n'
192 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
193
194 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
195 [Matthieu Herrb]
196
197 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
198 [Steve Henson]
199
200 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
201 [Steve Henson]
202
203 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
204 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
205 chosen compiler.
206 [Ben Laurie]
207
208 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
209
210 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
211 (CVE-2008-5077).
212 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
213
214 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
215 [Ben Laurie]
216
217 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
218 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
219 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
220 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
221
222 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
223 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
224
225 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
226 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
227 [Bodo Moeller]
228
229 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
230 s_client and s_server.
231 [Ben Laurie]
232
233 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
234 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
235
236 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
237 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
238
239 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
240 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
241 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
242 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
243 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
244 [Bodo Moeller]
245
246 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
247
248 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
249 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
250 [PR #1679]
251
252 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
253 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
254 [Nagendra Modadugu]
255
256 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
257 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
258 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
259 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
260
261 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
262 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
263
264 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
265
266 *) Various precautionary measures:
267
268 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
269
270 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
271 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
272 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
273
274 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
275 outside the expected range.
276
277 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
278 builds.
279
280 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
281
282 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
283 the load fails. Useful for distros.
284 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
285
286 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
287 [Steve Henson]
288
289 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
290 [Huang Ying]
291
292 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
293
294 This work was sponsored by Logica.
295 [Steve Henson]
296
297 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
298 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
299 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
300
301 This work was sponsored by Logica.
302 [Steve Henson]
303
304 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
305 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
306 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
307 files.
308 [Steve Henson]
309
310 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
311
312 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
313 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
314 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
315 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
316
317 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
318 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
319 [Joe Orton]
320
321 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
322
323 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
324 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
325 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
326
327 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
328
329 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
330 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
331 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
332 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
333 [Lutz Jaenicke]
334
335 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
336 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
337 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
338 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
339 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
340 invalid read after the end of 'db').
341 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
342
343 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
344
345 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
346 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
347 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
348 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
349 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
350
351 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
352 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
353
354 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
355 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
356 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
357 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
358 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
359
360 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
361
362 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
363 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
364 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
365 sets may exist with different names.
366 [Steve Henson]
367
368 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
369 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
370 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
371 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
372 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
373 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
374 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
375 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
376 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
377 implementation.
378 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
379
380 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
381 implemention in the following ways:
382
383 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
384 hard coded.
385
386 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
387 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
388 ignored for embedded content.
389
390 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
391 with the enable-cms configuration option.
392 [Steve Henson]
393
394 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
395 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
396 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
397 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
398
399 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
400 uncompresses any data passed through it.
401 [Steve Henson]
402
403 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
404 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
405 [Steve Henson]
406
407 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
408 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
409 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
410 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
411 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
412 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
413 data.
414 [Steve Henson]
415
416 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
417 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
418 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
419
420 *) Netware support:
421
422 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
423 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
424 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
425 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
426 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
427 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
428 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
429 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
430 platform
431 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
432 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
433 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
434 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
435 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
436 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
437 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
438
439 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
440 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
441 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
442 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
443 to s_client and s_server.
444 [Steve Henson]
445
446 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
447
448 *) Fix various bugs:
449 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
450 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
451 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
452 + Fix ia64 assembler code
453 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
454
455 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
456
457 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
458 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
459 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
460 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
461 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
462 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
463 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
464 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
465 [Andy Polyakov]
466
467 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
468 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
469 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
470 Steve Henson]
471
472 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
473 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
474 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
475 supported.
476
477 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
478 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
479 SSL_SESSION.
480
481 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
482 protection in servers so again support should be possible
483 with no application modification.
484
485 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
486 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
487
488 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
489 or server extensions to be examined.
490
491 This work was sponsored by Google.
492 [Steve Henson]
493
494 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
495 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
496 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
497 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
498 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
499 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
500 server_name extension.
501
502 New functions (subject to change):
503
504 SSL_get_servername()
505 SSL_get_servername_type()
506 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
507
508 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
509
510 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
511 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
512 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
513 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
514 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
515
516 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
517
518 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
519 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
520 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
521 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
522 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
523 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
524 option.
525
526 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
527
528 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
529 [Steve Henson]
530
531 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
532 [Andy Polyakov]
533
534 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
535 (which previously caused an internal error).
536 [Bodo Moeller]
537
538 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
539 [Ben Laurie]
540
541 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
542 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
543
544 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
545 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
546 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
547
548 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
549 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
550 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
551 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
552
553 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
554 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
555 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
556 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
557
558 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
559 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
560 information. For detailed background information, see
561 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
562 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
563 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
564 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
565 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
566 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
567 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
568 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
569 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
570 remove a conditional branch.
571
572 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
573 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
574 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
575 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
576 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
577 remains as a deprecated alias.
578
579 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
580 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
581 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
582 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
583
584 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
585 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
586 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
587 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
588 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
589 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
590 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
591 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
592
593 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
594
595 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
596 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
597 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
598 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
599 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
600 with applications using a single external cache for quite
601 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
602 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
603 in a different context.
604 [Bodo Moeller]
605
606 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
607 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
608 authentication-only ciphersuites.
609 [Bodo Moeller]
610
611 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
612 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
613 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
614
615 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
616
617 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
618 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
619 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
620 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
621 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
622 [Victor Duchovni]
623
624 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
625 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
626 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
627 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
628 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
629 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
630 [Bodo Moeller]
631
632 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
633 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
634 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
635 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
636 message has informed the client about his choice.)
637 [Bodo Moeller]
638
639 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
640 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
641
642 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
643 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
644 Improve header file function name parsing.
645 [Steve Henson]
646
647 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
648 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
649 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
650
651 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
652
653 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
654 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
655 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
656
657 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
658 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
659
660 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
661 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
662
663 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
664 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
665 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
666
667 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
668 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
669 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
670 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
671 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
672 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
673 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
674 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
675 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
676
677 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
678 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
679 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
680 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
681 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
682
683 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
684 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
685 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
686 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
687 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
688 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
689 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
690 multiple values to extend the available space.
691
692 [Bodo Moeller]
693
694 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
695
696 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
697 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
698
699 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
700 [Ben Laurie]
701
702 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
703 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
704 undesirable limitations.
705 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
706
707 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
708 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
709 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
710 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
711 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
712 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
713 to avoid potential handshake problems.
714 [Bodo Moeller]
715
716 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
717
718 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
719 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
720 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
721
722 The latter two were purportedly from
723 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
724 appear there.
725
726 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
727 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
728 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
729 [Bodo Moeller]
730
731 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
732 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
733 [Bodo Moeller]
734
735 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
736 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
737 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
738 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
739
740 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
741 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
742 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
743 [NTT]
744
745 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
746 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
747 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
748 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
749 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
750 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
751 [Steve Henson]
752
753 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
754
755 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
756 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
757 [Steve Henson]
758
759 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
760 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
761
762 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
763 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
764 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
765 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
766 [Douglas Stebila]
767
768 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
769 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
770 [Steve Henson]
771
772 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
773 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
774 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
775 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
776 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
777 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
778 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
779 can't be loaded.
780 [Steve Henson]
781
782 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
783 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
784 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
785 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
789 under VC++ build system.
790 [Steve Henson]
791
792 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
793 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
794 [Richard Levitte]
795
796 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
797
798 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
799 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
800 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
801 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
802 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
803
804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
805 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
806 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
807
808 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
809 [Steve Henson]
810
811 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
812 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
813 [Nils Larsch]
814
815 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
816 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
817
818 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
819 [Nick Mathewson]
820
821 *) Extended Windows CE support.
822 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
823
824 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
825 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
826 [Steve Henson]
827
828 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
829 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
830 smime utility.
831 [Steve Henson]
832
833 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
834
835 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
836 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
837
838 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
839 [Richard Levitte]
840
841 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
842 key into the same file any more.
843 [Richard Levitte]
844
845 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
846 [Andy Polyakov]
847
848 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
849 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
850
851 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
852 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
853 [Richard Levitte]
854
855 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
856 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
857 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
858 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
859 this only applies when building 'shared'.
860 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
861
862 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
863 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
864 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
865 [Steve Henson]
866
867 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
868 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
869 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
870 - add new function for parameter creation
871 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
872 BN_BLINDING parameters
873 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
874 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
875 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
876 threads.
877 [Nils Larsch]
878
879 *) Add support for DTLS.
880 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
881
882 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
883 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
884 [Walter Goulet]
885
886 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
887 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
888 [Nils Larsch]
889
890 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
891 the apps/openssl applications.
892 [Nils Larsch]
893
894 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
895 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
896 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
897 [Ben Laurie]
898
899 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
900 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
901
902 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
903 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
904
905 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
906 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
907 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
908 avoid this algorithm.)
909
910 [Bodo Moeller]
911
912 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
913 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
914 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
915 [Richard Levitte]
916
917 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
918 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
919 [Andy Polyakov]
920
921 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
922 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
923 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
924 pod file:
925
926 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
927
928 The blank line is mandatory.
929
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
933 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
934 sources.
935 [Steve Henson]
936
937 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
938 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
939
940 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
941 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
942 to support policy checking and print out.
943 [Steve Henson]
944
945 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
946 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
947 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
948 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
949
950 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
951 [Geoff Thorpe]
952
953 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
954 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
955
956 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
957 implementation contributed by IBM.
958 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
959
960 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
961 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
962 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
963 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
964
965 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
966 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
967
968 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
969 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
970 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
971 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
972 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
973 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
977 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
978 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
979 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
980 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
981 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
982 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
983 [Geoff Thorpe]
984
985 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
986 [Steve Henson]
987
988 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
989 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
990 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
991 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
992 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
993 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
994 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
995 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
996 [Steve Henson]
997
998 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
999 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1000 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1001 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1002 [Steve Henson]
1003
1004 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1005 syntax:
1006
1007 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1008 [Steve Henson]
1009
1010 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1011 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1012 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1013 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1014 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1015 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1016 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1017 [Geoff Thorpe]
1018
1019 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1020 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1021 [Geoff Thorpe]
1022
1023 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1024 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1025 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1026 [Steve Henson]
1027
1028 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1029 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1030 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1031 below).
1032 [Geoff Thorpe]
1033
1034 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1035 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1036 [Richard Levitte]
1037
1038 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1039 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1040 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1041 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1042 [Geoff Thorpe]
1043
1044 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1045 initialised value as BN_new().
1046 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1047
1048 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1049 [Steve Henson]
1050
1051 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1052 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1053 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1054 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1055 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1056 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1057 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1058 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1059 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1060 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1061 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1062 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1063 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1064 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1065 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1066
1067 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1068 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1069 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1070 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1071 [Geoff Thorpe]
1072
1073 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1074 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1075 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1076 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1077 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1078 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1079 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1080 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1081 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1082 [Geoff Thorpe]
1083
1084 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1085 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1086 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1087 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1088 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1089 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1090 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1091 [Geoff Thorpe]
1092
1093 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1094 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1095 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1096 these have been updated also.
1097 [Geoff Thorpe]
1098
1099 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1100 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1101 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1102 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1103 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1104 functions.
1105 [Steve Henson]
1106
1107 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1108 structure of type "other".
1109 [Steve Henson]
1110
1111 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1112 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1113 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1114 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1115 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1116 situation in the script.
1117 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1118
1119 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1120 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1121 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1122 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1123 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1124 used as premaster secret.
1125 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1126
1127 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1128 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1129 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1130
1131 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1132 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1133
1134 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1135 control of the error stack.
1136 [Richard Levitte]
1137
1138 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1139 [Richard Levitte]
1140
1141 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1142 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1143 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1144 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1145 [Richard Levitte]
1146
1147 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1148 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1149 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1150 [Richard Levitte]
1151
1152 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1153 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1154 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1155 a memory area.
1156 [Richard Levitte]
1157
1158 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1159 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1160 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1161 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1162 [Richard Levitte]
1163
1164 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1165 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1166 the following flags are defined:
1167
1168 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1169 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1170 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1171 number.
1172
1173 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1174 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1175 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1176 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1177 returns zero.
1178 [Richard Levitte]
1179
1180 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1181 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1182 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1183 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1184 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1185 [Richard Levitte]
1186
1187 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1188 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1189 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1190 [Richard Levitte]
1191
1192 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1193 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1194 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1195 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1196 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1197 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1198 [Richard Levitte]
1199
1200 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1201 req and dirName.
1202 [Steve Henson]
1203
1204 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1205 [Steve Henson]
1206
1207 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1208 [Steve Henson]
1209
1210 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1211 [Steve Henson]
1212
1213 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1214 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1215 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1216 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1217 default implementation more easily.
1218 [Geoff Thorpe]
1219
1220 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1221 in config files.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1225 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1226 [Richard Levitte]
1227
1228 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1229 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1230 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1231 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1232
1233 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1234 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1235 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1236 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1237 [Steve Henson]
1238
1239 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1240 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1241 to do it.
1242 [Richard Levitte]
1243
1244 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1245 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1246 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1247 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1248 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1249 scalar * generator).
1250 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1251
1252 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1253 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1254 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1255 correctly.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1259 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1260 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1261 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1262 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1263 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1264 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1265 linker additions, eg;
1266 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1267 [Geoff Thorpe]
1268
1269 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1270 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1271 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1272 [Geoff Thorpe]
1273
1274 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1275 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1276 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1277 via PR#459)
1278 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1279
1280 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1281 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1282 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1283 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1284 [Geoff Thorpe]
1285
1286 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1287 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1288 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1289 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1290 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1291 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1292 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1293 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1294 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1295 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1296
1297 Example for using the new callback interface:
1298
1299 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1300 void *my_arg = ...;
1301 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1302
1303 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1304
1305 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1306 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1307 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1308 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1309 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1310 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1311 */
1312
1313 [Geoff Thorpe]
1314
1315 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1316 available to TLS with the number defined in
1317 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1318 [Richard Levitte]
1319
1320 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1321 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1322
1323 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1324 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1325 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1326 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1327
1328 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1329 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1330
1331 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1332 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1333 well.
1334 [Richard Levitte]
1335
1336 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1337 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1338 [Richard Levitte]
1339
1340 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1341 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1342 and a macro that behave like
1343 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1344
1345 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1346 [Nils Larsch]
1347
1348 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1349 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1350 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1351 if applicable.
1352 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1353
1354 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1355 [Bodo Moeller]
1356
1357 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1358 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1359 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1360 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1361 directory engines/.
1362 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1363 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1364 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1365 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1366 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1367 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1368 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1369 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1370
1371 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1372 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1373 [Richard Levitte]
1374
1375 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1376 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1377
1378 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1379 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1380 files while avoiding the low level API.
1381
1382 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1383 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1384 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1385 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1386
1387 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1388 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1389 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1390 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1391 instead of the low level API.
1392 [Steve Henson]
1393
1394 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1395 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1396 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1397 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1398 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1399 PKCS#7 code.
1400
1401 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1402 down to the template encoder.
1403 [Steve Henson]
1404
1405 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1406 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1407 [Bodo Moeller]
1408
1409 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1410 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1411 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1412 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1413
1414 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1415 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1416
1417 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1418 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1419
1420 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1421 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1422 [Bodo Moeller]
1423
1424 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1425 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1426 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1427 [Bodo Moeller]
1428
1429 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1430 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1431
1432 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1433 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1434
1435 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1436 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1437 New EC_METHOD:
1438
1439 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1440
1441 New API functions:
1442
1443 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1444 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1445 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1446 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1447 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1448 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1449
1450 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1451 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1452 enable it).
1453
1454 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1455 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1456 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1457 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1458 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1459 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1460 various internal method names.)
1461
1462 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1463 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1464
1465 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1466 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1467
1468 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1469 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1470
1471 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1472 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1473 methods are undefined.
1474
1475 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1476 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1477
1478 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1479 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1480 length of the modulus.
1481
1482 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1483 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1484
1485 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1486 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1487
1488 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1489 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1490
1491 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1492 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1493 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1494
1495 BN_GF2m_add
1496 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1497 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1498 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1499 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1500 BN_GF2m_mod_inv

1502 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1503 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1504 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1505
1506 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1507 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1508
1509 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1510 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1511 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1512 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1513 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1514 where
1515 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1516 This applies to the following functions:
1517
1518 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
1519 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
1520 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
1521 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1522 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1523 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
1524 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1525 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1526 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1527 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1528
1529 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1530
1531 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
1532 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
1533
1534 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1535
1536 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1537 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1538 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1539 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1540 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1541
1542 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1543 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1544
1545 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1546 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1547 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1548
1549 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1550 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1551
1552 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1553 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1554 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1555 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1556 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1557
1558 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1559 functions
1560 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1561 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1562 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1563 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1564 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1565 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1566 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1567 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1568 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1569 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1570 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1571 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1572
1573 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1574 functions
1575 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1576 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1577 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1578 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1579 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1580
1581 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1582 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1583 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1584 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1585
1586 *) Add functions
1587 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1588 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1589 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1590 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1591 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1592 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1593 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1594
1595 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1596 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1597 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1598 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1599 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1600 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1601 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1602 adding different types of curves.
1603 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1604
1605 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1606 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1607 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1608 [Bodo Moeller]
1609
1610 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1611 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1612
1613 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1614 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1615 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1616 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1617
1618 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1619
1620 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1621 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1622
1623 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1624 library. Most notably,
1625 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1626 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1627 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1628 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1629 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1630 extracted before the specific public key;
1631 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1632 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1633
1634 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1635 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1636 function
1637 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1638 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1639 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1640 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1641 accessed via
1642 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1643 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1644 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1645
1646 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1647 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1648 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1649 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1650 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1651 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1652 differing sizes.
1653 [Richard Levitte]
1654
1655 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1656
1657 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1658 sensitive data.
1659 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1660
1661 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1662 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1663 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1664 [Bodo Moeller]
1665
1666 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1667 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1668 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1669 [Victor Duchovni]
1670
1671 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1672 [Steve Henson]
1673
1674 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1675 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1676 [Steve Henson]
1677
1678 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1679 run algorithm test programs.
1680 [Steve Henson]
1681
1682 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1683 [Steve Henson]
1684
1685 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1686 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1687 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1688 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1689 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1690 [Bodo Moeller]
1691
1692 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1693 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1694 [Steve Henson]
1695
1696 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1697
1698 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1699 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1700 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1701
1702 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1703 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1704
1705 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1706 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1707
1708 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1709 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1710 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1711
1712 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1713 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1714 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1715 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1716 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1717 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1718 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1719 [Bodo Moeller]
1720
1721 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1722
1723 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1724 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1725
1726 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1727 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1728 undesirable limitations.
1729 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1730
1731 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1732
1733 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1734 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1735 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1736
1737 The latter two were purportedly from
1738 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1739 appear there.
1740
1741 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1742 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1743 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1744 [Bodo Moeller]
1745
1746 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1747 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1748 [Bodo Moeller]
1749
1750 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1751
1752 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1753 module in FIPS mode.
1754 [Steve Henson]
1755
1756 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1757 [Steve Henson]
1758
1759 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1760 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1761 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1762 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1766
1767 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1768 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1769 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1770 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1771 the difference induced by this change.
1772 [Andy Polyakov]
1773
1774 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1775
1776 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1777 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1778 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1779 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1780 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1781
1782 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1783 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1784 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1785
1786 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1787 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1788 [Steve Henson]
1789
1790 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1791 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1792 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1793 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1794 biased k.)
1795 [Bodo Moeller]
1796
1797 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1798 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1799 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1800 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1801 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1802
1803 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1804 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1805 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1806 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1807 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1808 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1809
1810 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1811
1812 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1813 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1814 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1815 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1816 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1817 [Bodo Moeller]
1818
1819 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1820 clients need.
1821 [Steve Henson]
1822
1823 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1824 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1825 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1826 [Steve Henson]
1827
1828 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1829 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1830 structures constant.
1831 [Steve Henson]
1832
1833 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1834
1835 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1836 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1837
1838 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1839 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1840 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1841 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1842 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1843 some needed definitions.
1844 [Steve Henson]
1845
1846 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1847 [Ulf Möller]
1848
1849 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1850 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1851 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1852 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1853 [Richard Levitte]
1854
1855 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1856
1857 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1858 server and client random values. Previously
1859 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1860 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1861
1862 This change has negligible security impact because:
1863
1864 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1865 data.
1866
1867 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1868 handshake.
1869
1870 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1871 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1872 values.
1873
1874 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1875 to our attention.
1876
1877 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1878
1879 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1880 [Ulf Möller]
1881
1882 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1883 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1884 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1885
1886 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1887 [Steve Henson]
1888
1889 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1890 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1891 [Andy Polyakov]
1892
1893 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1894 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1895 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1896
1897 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1898 [Steve Henson]
1899
1900 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1901 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1902 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1903 certificates.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1907 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1908 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1909 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1910
1911 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1912 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1913 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1914 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1915 been given)
1916 [Richard Levitte]
1917
1918 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1919
1920 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1921 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1922 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1923 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1924 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1925 [Steve Henson]
1926
1927 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1928 [Steve Henson]
1929
1930 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1931 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1932
1933 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1934 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1935 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1936 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1937 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1938 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1939 rather than being initialized to 1.
1940 [Steve Henson]
1941
1942 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1943
1944 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1945 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1946 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1947
1948 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1949 (CVE-2004-0112)
1950 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1951
1952 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1953 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1954 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1955 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1956 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1957 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1958 [Richard Levitte]
1959
1960 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1961 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1962 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1963 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1964 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1965 for these cases.
1966 [Steve Henson]
1967
1968 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1969 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1970 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1971 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1972 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1973 [Steve Henson]
1974
1975 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1976 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1977 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1978 < 0.9.7.
1979 [Steve Henson]
1980
1981 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1982 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1983
1984 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1985 [Steve Henson]
1986
1987 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1988
1989 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1990
1991 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1992 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1993
1994 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1995
1996 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1997 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1998
1999 [Steve Henson]
2000
2001 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2002 exiting on the first error in a request.
2003 [Steve Henson]
2004
2005 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2006 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2007 specifications.
2008 [Steve Henson]
2009
2010 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2011 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2012 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2013 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2014
2015 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2016 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2017 [Richard Levitte]
2018
2019 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2020 blocks during encryption.
2021 [Richard Levitte]
2022
2023 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2024 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2025 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2026 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2027 certain size.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2031 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2032 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2033 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2034 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2035 parser.
2036 [Steve Henson]
2037
2038 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2039
2040 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2041 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2042 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2043 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2044 [Bodo Moeller]
2045
2046 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2047 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2048 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2049 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2050 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2051
2052 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2053 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2054 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2055 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2056 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2057 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2058 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2059 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2060 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2061 [Bodo Moeller]
2062
2063 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2064 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2065 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2066 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2067 [Geoff Thorpe]
2068
2069 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2070 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2071 [Ulf Moeller]
2072
2073 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2074
2075 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2076 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2077 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2078 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2079 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2080
2081 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2082 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2083 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2084
2085 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2086 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2087 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2088 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2089 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2090
2091 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2092 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2093 used by default when no-err is given.
2094 [Richard Levitte]
2095
2096 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2097 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2098
2099 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2100 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2101 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2102 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2103 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2104
2105 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2106 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2107 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2108 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2109
2110 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2111
2112 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2113
2114 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2115
2116 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2117 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2118 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2119 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2120 root is omitted).
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2124 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2125
2126 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2127 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2131 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2132 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2133 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2134 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2135
2136 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2137 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2138 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2139 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2140 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2141 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2142 followup to PR #377.
2143 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2144
2145 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2146 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2147 [Andy Polyakov]
2148
2149 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2150 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2151 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2152 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2153
2154 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2155
2156 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2157 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2158
2159 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2160 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2161 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2162 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2163 client and server.
2164 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2165 PR #377.
2166 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2167
2168 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2169 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2170 removed entirely.
2171 [Richard Levitte]
2172
2173 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2174 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2175 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2176 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2177 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2178 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2179 of libcrypto.
2180 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2181 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2182 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2183 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2184 have to be made anyway).
2185 [Richard Levitte]
2186
2187 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2188 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2189 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2190 [Steve Henson]
2191
2192 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2193 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2194 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2195 [Richard Levitte]
2196
2197 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2198 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2199 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2200
2201 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2202 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2203 edit numbers of the version.
2204 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2205
2206 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2207 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2209
2210 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2211 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2212
2213 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2214 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2215 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2216
2217 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2218 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2219
2220 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2221 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2222
2223 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2224 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2225
2226 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2228
2229 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2230 overflows.
2231 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2232
2233 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2234 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2235 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2236
2237 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2238 representations in a platform independent manner.
2239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2240
2241 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2242 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2244
2245 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2246 indents.
2247 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2248
2249 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2250 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2251
2252 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2253 full. Fixed.
2254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2255
2256 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2257 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2258 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2259
2260 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2261 unconditionally).
2262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2263
2264 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2265 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2266
2267 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2268 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2269
2270 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2272
2273 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2275
2276 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2277 CBCParameter.
2278 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2279
2280 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2281 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2282
2283 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2284 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2285
2286 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2287 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2288 exploitable.
2289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2290
2291 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2292 the 0.9.6 release series:
2293
2294 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2295 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2296 (CVE-2002-0657)
2297 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2298
2299 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2300 [Richard Levitte]
2301
2302 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2303 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2304
2305 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2306 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2307
2308 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2309 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2310 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2311 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2312
2313 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2314 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2315 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2316
2317 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2318 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2319 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2320 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2321
2322 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2323 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2324 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2325 some local tweaks:
2326
2327 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2328 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2329 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2330 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2331 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2332 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2333 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2334 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2335 done
2336
2337 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2338 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2339 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2340 [Richard Levitte]
2341
2342 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2343 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2344 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2345 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2346 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2347
2348 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2349 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2350
2351 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2352 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2353 [Richard Levitte]
2354
2355 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2356 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2357 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2358 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2359 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2360 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2361 [Steve Henson]
2362
2363 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2364 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2365 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2366 [Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2369 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2370 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2371
2372 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2373 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2374 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2375 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2376 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2377 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2378 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2380
2381 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2382 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2383 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2384 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2385 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2386 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2387 [Steve Henson]
2388
2389 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2390 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2391 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2392 declaration has been changed from
2393 int (*cb)()
2394 into
2395 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2396 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2397 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2398 has been changed into
2399 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2400
2401 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2402 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2403 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2404
2405 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2406 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2407
2408 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2409 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2410 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2411 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2412 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2413 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2414 always load it have also been added.
2415 [Steve Henson]
2416
2417 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2418 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2419 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2420
2421 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2422
2423 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2424 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2425 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2426
2427 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2428 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2429 command line option can be used to specify an
2430 alternative file.
2431 [Steve Henson]
2432
2433 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2434 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2438 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2439 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2443 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2444 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2445 to work with the new engine framework.
2446 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2447
2448 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2449 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2450 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2451 to work with the new engine framework.
2452 [Richard Levitte]
2453
2454 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2455 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2456 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2457
2458 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2459 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2460
2461 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2462 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2463 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2464 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2465 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2466 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2467
2468 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2469 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2470
2471 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2472 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2473
2474 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2475 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2476 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2477 [Ben Laurie]
2478
2479 *) Add new functions
2480 ERR_peek_last_error
2481 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2482 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2483 These are similar to
2484 ERR_peek_error
2485 ERR_peek_error_line
2486 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2487 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2488 still in the error queue.
2489 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2490
2491 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2492 like:
2493 default_algorithms = ALL
2494 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2495 [Steve Henson]
2496
2497 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2498 [Steve Henson]
2499
2500 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2501 [Steve Henson]
2502
2503 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2504 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2505 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2506 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2507
2508 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2509 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2510
2511 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2512 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2513
2514 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2515 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2516 [Bodo Moeller]
2517
2518 *) New functions/macros
2519
2520 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2521 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2522 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2523 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2524
2525 to request calling a callback function
2526
2527 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2528 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2529
2530 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2531 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2532 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2533 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2534 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2535 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2536 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2537 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2538 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2539 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2540
2541 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2542 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2543 [Bodo Moeller]
2544
2545 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2546 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2547 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2548 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2549 the configuration scripts.
2550
2551 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2552 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2553 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2554
2555 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2556 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2557
2558 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2559 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2560 when reusing an existing buffer.
2561 [Bodo Moeller]
2562
2563 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2564 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2565 [Steve Henson]
2566
2567 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2568 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2569 [Ben Laurie]
2570
2571 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2572 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2573 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2574 has the same effect.
2575 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2576
2577 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2578 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2579 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2580 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2581 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2582 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2583 exception.
2584
2585 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2586 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2587 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2588 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2589
2590 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2591 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2592 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2593 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2594
2595 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2596 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2597 won't work.
2598
2599 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2600 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2601 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2602 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2603 default), and then completely removed.
2604 [Richard Levitte]
2605
2606 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2607 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2608 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2609 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2610 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2611 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2612 particular extension is supported.
2613 [Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2616 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2617 [Steve Henson]
2618
2619 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2620 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2621 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2622 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2623 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2624 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2625 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2626 requires the destination to be valid.
2627
2628 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2629 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2630 [Steve Henson]
2631
2632 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2633 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2634 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2635 [Bodo Moeller]
2636
2637 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2638 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2639
2640 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2641 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2642 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2643 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2644 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2645 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2646 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2647 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2648 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2649 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2650 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2651 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2652 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2653 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2654 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2655 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2656 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2657 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2658 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2659 the new code.
2660 [Geoff Thorpe]
2661
2662 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2663 [Steve Henson]
2664
2665 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2666 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2667 become part of libeay.num as well.
2668 [Richard Levitte]
2669
2670 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2671 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2672 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2673 false once a handshake has been completed.
2674 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2675 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2676 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2677 client has followed the request.)
2678 [Bodo Moeller]
2679
2680 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2681 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2682 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2683 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2684
2685 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2686 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2687 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2688 [Bodo Moeller]
2689
2690 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2691 [Steve Henson]
2692
2693 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2694 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2695 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2696 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2697
2698 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2699 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2700 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2701
2702 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2703 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2704 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2705 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2706 [Geoff Thorpe]
2707
2708 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2709 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2710 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2711 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2712 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2713 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2714 [Geoff Thorpe]
2715
2716 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2717 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2718 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2719 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2720 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2721 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2722 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2723 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2724 [Geoff Thorpe]
2725
2726 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2727 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2728 [Geoff Thorpe]
2729
2730 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2731 [Ben Laurie]
2732
2733 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2734 md_data void pointer.
2735 [Ben Laurie]
2736
2737 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2738 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2739 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2740 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2741 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2742 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2743 [Ben Laurie]
2744
2745 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2746 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2747 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2748 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2749 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2750 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2751 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2752 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2753 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2754 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2755 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2756 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2757 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2758 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2759 rather than letting it slide.
2760
2761 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2762 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2763 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2764 [Geoff Thorpe]
2765
2766 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2767 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2768 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2769 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2770 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2771 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2772 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2773 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2774 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2775 [Geoff Thorpe]
2776
2777 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2778 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2779 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2780 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2781 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2782
2783 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2784 [Geoff Thorpe]
2785
2786 *) Add EVP test program.
2787 [Ben Laurie]
2788
2789 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2790 [Ben Laurie]
2791
2792 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2793 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2794 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2795 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2796 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2797 [Steve Henson]
2798
2799 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2800 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2801 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2802 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2803 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2804 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2805 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2806
2807 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2808 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2809 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2810 Usage example:
2811
2812 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2813
2814 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2815 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2816 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2817 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2818 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2819
2820 [Ben Laurie]
2821
2822 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2823 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2824 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2825 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2826 anyway): E.g.,
2827
2828 des_key_schedule ks;
2829
2830 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2831 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2832
2833 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2834 [Ben Laurie]
2835
2836 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2837 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2838 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2839 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2840 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2841 functions prevents this.
2842 [Steve Henson]
2843
2844 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2845 [Ben Laurie]
2846
2847 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2848 correct _ecb suffix.
2849 [Ben Laurie]
2850
2851 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2852 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2853 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2854 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2855 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2856 [Steve Henson]
2857
2858 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2859 [Richard Levitte]
2860
2861 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2862 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2863 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2864 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2865
2866 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2867 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2868
2869 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2870 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2871 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2872 via Richard Levitte]
2873
2874 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2875 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2876 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2877 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2878 [Geoff Thorpe]
2879
2880 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2896 [Ben Laurie]
2897
2898 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2899 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2900
2901 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2902 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2903 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2904 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2905 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2906 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2907 [Steve Henson]
2908
2909 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2910 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2911 [Richard Levitte]
2912
2913 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2914 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2915 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2916 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2919 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2920 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2921 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2922 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2923 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2924 callback.
2925 [Richard Levitte]
2926
2927 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2928 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2929 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2930 and interrupts/cancellations.
2931 [Richard Levitte]
2932
2933 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2934 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2935 [Steve Henson]
2936
2937 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2938 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2939 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2940
2941 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2942 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2943 kind of callback.
2944 [Richard Levitte]
2945
2946 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2947 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2948 than this minimum value is recommended.
2949 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2950
2951 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2952 that are easily reachable.
2953 [Richard Levitte]
2954
2955 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2956 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2957
2958 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2959
2960 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2961 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2962 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2963 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2964 [Steve Henson]
2965
2966 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2967 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2968 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2972 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2973 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2974 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2975 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2976 internally such as S/MIME.
2977
2978 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2979 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2980 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2981
2982 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2983 applications.
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2987 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2988 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2989 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2990
2991 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2992
2993 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2994
2995 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2996 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2997 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2998 handling.
2999 [Steve Henson]
3000
3001 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3002 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3003 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3004 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3005 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3006 a window system and the like.
3007 [Richard Levitte]
3008
3009 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3010 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3011 [Geoff]
3012
3013 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3014 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3015 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3016 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3017 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3018 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3019 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3020 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3021 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3022 ENGINE structure.
3023 [Geoff]
3024
3025 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3026 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3027 tag cache.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3031 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3032 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3033 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3034 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3035 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3036 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3037 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3038 [Geoff]
3039
3040 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3041 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3042 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3043 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3044 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3045 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3046 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3047 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3048 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3049 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3050 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3051 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3052 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3053 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3054 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3055 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3056 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3057 [Geoff]
3058
3059 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3060 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3061 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3062 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3063 internal engine_int.h header.
3064 [Geoff]
3065
3066 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3067 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3068 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3069 modify their own ones).
3070 [Geoff]
3071
3072 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3073 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3074 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3075 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3076 later on via ctrl() commands.
3077 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3078 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3079 structural references.
3080 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3081 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3082 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3083 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3084 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3085 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3086 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3087 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3088 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3089 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3090 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3091 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3092 [Geoff]
3093
3094 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3095 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3096 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3097 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3098 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3099 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3100 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3101 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3102 [Bodo Moeller]
3103
3104 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3105 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3109 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3113 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3114 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3115 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3116 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3117 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3118 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3119 [Steve Henson]
3120
3121 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3122 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3123 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3124 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3125 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3126
3127 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3128 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3129 generator).
3130 [Bodo Moeller]
3131
3132 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3133
3134 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3135 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3136 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3137
3138 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3139 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3140
3141 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3142 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3143 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3144
3145 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3146 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3147
3148 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3149 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3150
3151 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3152
3153 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3154 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3155 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3156 [Bodo Moeller]
3157
3158 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3159 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3160 [Richard Levitte]
3161
3162 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3163 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3164 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3165 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3166 is 40 of more characters long.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3170 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3171 pointers.
3172 [Steve Henson]
3173
3174 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3175 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3176 [Bodo Moeller]
3177
3178 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3179 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3180 might.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3184
3185 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3186 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3187
3188 ASN1 error codes
3189 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3190 ...
3191 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3192 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3193 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3194 ...
3195 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3196 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3197
3198 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3199 [Bodo Moeller]
3200
3201 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3202 suffices.
3203 [Bodo Moeller]
3204
3205 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3206 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3207 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3208 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3209 and
3210 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3211
3212 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3213 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3214
3215 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3216 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3217 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3218 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3219 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3220 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3221
3222 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3223 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3224
3225 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3226 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3227
3228 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3229 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3230
3231 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3232 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3233 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3234 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3235
3236 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3237 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3238
3239 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3240 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3241
3242 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3243 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3244 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3245 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3246 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3247 [Richard Levitte]
3248
3249 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3250 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3251 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3252 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3253 [Steve Henson]
3254
3255 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3256 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3257 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3258 trust settings.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3262 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3263 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3264 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3265 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3266 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3267 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3268 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3269 ocsp utility.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3273 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3277 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3278 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3279 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3283 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3284 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3285 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3286 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3287 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3288 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3289 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3290 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3291 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3295 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3296 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3297 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3298 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3299 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3300 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3301 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3302
3303 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3304 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3305 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3306 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3307 [Richard Levitte]
3308
3309 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3310 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3311 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3312 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3313 opensslconf.h.
3314 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3315 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3316 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3317 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3318 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3319 what is available.
3320 [Richard Levitte]
3321
3322 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3323 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3324 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3325 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3326 auto incremented.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3330 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3331 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3335 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3336 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3337 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3338 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3339 [Steve Henson]
3340
3341 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3345 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3346 option to ocsp utility.
3347 [Steve Henson]
3348
3349 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3350 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3351 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3352 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3353 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3354 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3355 the request is nonce-less.
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3359 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3360 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3361 [Bodo Moeller]
3362
3363 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3364 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3365 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3369 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3370 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3371 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3372 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3373 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3374
3375 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3376 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3377 appear to exist.
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3381 additional certificates supplied.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3385 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3386 signature against.
3387 [Richard Levitte]
3388
3389 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3390 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3391 AES OIDs.
3392
3393 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3394 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3395 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3396 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3397 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3398 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3399 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3400 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3401 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3402
3403 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3404 request to response.
3405 [Steve Henson]
3406
3407 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3408 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3409 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3410 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3411 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3412 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3413 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3414 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3415 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3416 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3417 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3418 [Steve Henson]
3419
3420 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3421 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3422 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3423 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3424 [Steve Henson]
3425
3426 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3427 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3428
3429 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3430 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3431 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3432 [Steve Henson]
3433
3434 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3435 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3436 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3437 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3438 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3439
3440 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3441 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3442 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3443 [Steve Henson]
3444
3445 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3446 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3447 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3448 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3449 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3450 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3451 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3452 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3453
3454 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3455 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3456 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3457 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3458 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3459 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3463 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3464 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3465 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3466 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3467 printout format cleaned up.
3468 [Steve Henson]
3469
3470 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3471 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3472 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3473 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3474 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3475 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3476 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3477 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3481 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3482 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3483 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3484 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3485 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3486 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3487 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3491 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3492 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3493 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3494 section to use.
3495 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3496
3497 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3498 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3499 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3500 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3501 [Steve Henson]
3502
3503 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3504 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3505 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3506 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3507 in the index file.
3508 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3509
3510 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3511 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3512 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3513 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3514
3515 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3516 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3517
3518 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3519 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3520 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3521 [Steve Henson]
3522
3523 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3524 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3525 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3526 [Bodo Moeller]
3527
3528 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3529 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3530 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3531 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3532 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3533 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3534 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3535 functions are provided:
3536
3537 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3538 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3539 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3540 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3541
3542 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3543 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3544 extended allocation function is enabled.
3545 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3546 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3547 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3548
3549 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3550 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3551 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3552 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3553 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3554 [Geoff Thorpe]
3555
3556 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3557 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3558 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3559 be queried.
3560 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3561 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3562 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3563 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3564
3565 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3566 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3567 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3568 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3569 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3570 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3571 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3572 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3573 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3574 [Richard Levitte]
3575
3576 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3577 provide utility functions which an application needing
3578 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3579 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3580 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3581
3582 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3583 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3584 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3585 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3586 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3587 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3588 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3589 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3590 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3591
3592 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3593 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3594 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3595 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3596 [Steve Henson]
3597
3598 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3599 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3600 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3601 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3602 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3603 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3604 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3605 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3606 will be added elsewhere.
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3610 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3611 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3612 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3616 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3617 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3618 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3619 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3620 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3621 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3622 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3623 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3624 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3625 to produce the required SET OF.
3626 [Steve Henson]
3627
3628 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3629 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3630 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3631 [Richard Levitte]
3632
3633 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3634 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3635 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3636 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3637 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3638 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3642 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3643 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3647 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3648 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3649 [Richard Levitte]
3650
3651 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3652 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3653 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3654 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3655 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3656 [Steve Henson]
3657
3658 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3659 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3663 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3664 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3665 certifcates and CRLs.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3669 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3670 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3671 [Steve Henson]
3672
3673 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3674 entries for variables.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3678 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3679 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3680 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3681 [Bodo Moeller]
3682
3683 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3684 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3685 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3686 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3687 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3688 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3689 [Bodo Moeller]
3690
3691 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3692 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3693
3694 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3695 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3696 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3697 [Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3700 print routines.
3701 [Steve Henson]
3702
3703 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3704 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3705 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3706 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3707 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3708 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3715 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3716 for now but they will eventually go away.
3717 [Steve Henson]
3718
3719 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3720 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3721 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3722 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3723 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3724 has also been converted to the new form.
3725 [Steve Henson]
3726
3727 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3728 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3729 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3730 for negative moduli.
3731 [Bodo Moeller]
3732
3733 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3734 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3735 [Bodo Moeller]
3736
3737 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3738 set.
3739 [Bodo Moeller]
3740
3741 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3742 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3743 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3744 type-specific callbacks.
3745 [Geoff Thorpe]
3746
3747 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3748 RFC 2712.
3749 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3750 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3751
3752 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3753 in sections depending on the subject.
3754 [Richard Levitte]
3755
3756 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3757 Windows.
3758 [Richard Levitte]
3759
3760 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3761 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3762 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3763 be handled deterministically).
3764 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3765
3766 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3767 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3768 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3769 [Bodo Moeller]
3770
3771 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3772 [Bodo Moeller]
3773
3774 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3775 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3776 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3777 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3778 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3779 [Bodo Moeller]
3780
3781 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3782 sign of the number in question.
3783
3784 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3785
3786 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3787 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3788 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3789 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3790 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3791 [Bodo Moeller]
3792
3793 *) New function BN_swap.
3794 [Bodo Moeller]
3795
3796 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3797 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3798 results on negative inputs.
3799 [Bodo Moeller]
3800
3801 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3802 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3803 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3804 [Bodo Moeller]
3805
3806 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3807 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3808 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3809 and add new functions:
3810
3811 BN_nnmod
3812 BN_mod_sqr
3813 BN_mod_add
3814 BN_mod_add_quick
3815 BN_mod_sub
3816 BN_mod_sub_quick
3817 BN_mod_lshift1
3818 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3819 BN_mod_lshift
3820 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3821
3822 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3823
3824 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3825 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3826
3827 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3828 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3829 be reduced modulo m.
3830 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3831
3832 #if 0
3833 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3834 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3835 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3836
3837 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3838 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3839 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3840 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3841 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3842 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3843 differing sizes.
3844 [Richard Levitte]
3845 #endif
3846
3847 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3848 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3849 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3850 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3851 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3852
3853 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3854 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3855 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3856 cause any problems.
3857 [Bodo Moeller]
3858
3859 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3860 [Richard Levitte]
3861
3862 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3863 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3864 [Richard Levitte]
3865
3866 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3867 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3868 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3869 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3870 time)
3871 [Richard Levitte]
3872
3873 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3874 [Richard Levitte]
3875
3876 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3877 [Richard Levitte]
3878
3879 *) Add the following functions:
3880
3881 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3882 ENGINE_load_chil()
3883 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3884 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3885 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3886
3887 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3888 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3889 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3890 libraries unless it's really needed.
3891
3892 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3893 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3894 declarations (they differed!).
3895 [Richard Levitte]
3896
3897 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3898 [Richard Levitte]
3899
3900 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3901 [Richard Levitte]
3902
3903 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3904 [Bodo Moeller]
3905
3906 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3907 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3908 [Richard Levitte]
3909
3910 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3911 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3912 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3913
3914 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3915 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3916 [Richard Levitte]
3917
3918 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3919 [Richard Levitte]
3920
3921 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3922 [Richard Levitte]
3923
3924 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3925 [Ben Laurie]
3926
3927 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3928 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3929 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3930
3931 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3932 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3933 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3934 different shared library filenames on each system.
3935 [Geoff Thorpe]
3936
3937 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3938 [Richard Levitte]
3939
3940 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3941 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3942 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3943 of two sections.
3944 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3945
3946 *) NCONF changes.
3947 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3948 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3949 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3950 binary backward compatibility.
3951 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3952 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3953 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3954 LDAP server.
3955 [Richard Levitte]
3956
3957 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3958 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3959 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3960 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3961 this case.
3962 [Steve Henson]
3963
3964 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3965 [Ben Laurie]
3966
3967 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3968 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3969 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3970 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3971 set.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3975 [Richard Levitte]
3976
3977 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3978
3979 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3980 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3981 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3982
3983 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3984
3985 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3986
3987 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3988 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3992
3993 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3994
3995 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3996 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3997
3998 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3999 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4000
4001 [Steve Henson]
4002
4003 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4004 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4005 specifications.
4006 [Steve Henson]
4007
4008 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4009 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4010 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4011 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4012
4013 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4014 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4015 [Richard Levitte]
4016
4017 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4018
4019 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4020 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4021 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4022 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4023 [Bodo Moeller]
4024
4025 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4026 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4027 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4028 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4029 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4030
4031 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4032 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4033 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4034 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4035 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4036 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4037 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4038 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4039 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4040 [Bodo Moeller]
4041
4042 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4043
4044 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4045 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4046 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4047 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4048 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4049
4050 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4051 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4052 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4053
4054 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4055
4056 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4057 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4058 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4059 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4060 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4061 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4062 [Geoff Thorpe]
4063
4064 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4065 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4066 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4067 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4068 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4069 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4070
4071 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4072 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4073 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4074
4075 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4076 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4077 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4078 EVP_cleanup().
4079 [Richard Levitte]
4080
4081 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4082 being properly terminated.
4083 [Richard Levitte]
4084
4085 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4086 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4087 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4088 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4089
4090 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4091 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4092 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4093 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4094 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4095 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4096 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4097 change.
4098 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4099
4100 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4101 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4102 [Bodo Moeller]
4103
4104 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4105 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4106 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4107 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4108 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4109 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4110 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4111 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4112
4113 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4114 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4115 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4116 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4117 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4118
4119 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4120 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4121 [Steve Henson]
4122
4123 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4124
4125 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4126 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4127 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4128
4129 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4130
4131 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4132 and get fix the header length calculation.
4133 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4134 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4135 Steve Henson]
4136
4137 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4138 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4139 assertions could call abort()).
4140 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4141
4142 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4143
4144 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4145 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4146 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4147 supplied buffer.
4148 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4149
4150 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4151 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4152 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4153 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4154
4155 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4156 [Nils Larsch]
4157
4158 *) New option
4159 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4160 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4161 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4162
4163 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4164 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4165 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4166 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4167 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4168 applications.
4169 [Bodo Moeller]
4170
4171 *) Changes in security patch:
4172
4173 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4174 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4175 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4176 F30602-01-2-0537.
4177
4178 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4179 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4180 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4181 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4182 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4183
4184 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4185 happen in practice.
4186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4187
4188 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4189 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4190 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4191
4192 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4193 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4194 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4195
4196 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4197 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4198 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4199
4200 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4201
4202 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4203 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4204 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4205
4206 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4207 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4208
4209 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4210 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4211 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4212 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4213 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4214 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4215 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4216
4217 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4218 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4219 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4220 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4221 [Bodo Moeller]
4222
4223 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4224 [Bodo Moeller]
4225
4226 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4227 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4228 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4229 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4230 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4231 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4232
4233 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4234 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4235 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4236 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4237 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4238 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4239
4240 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4241 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4242 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4243 BN_generate_prime().)
4244
4245 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4246 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4247 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4248 better.
4249 [Bodo Moeller]
4250
4251 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4252 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4253 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4254
4255 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4256 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4257 when using non-blocking I/O.
4258 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4259
4260 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4261 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4262
4263 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4264 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4265 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4266
4267 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4268 configuration for the versions before that.
4269 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4270
4271 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4272 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4273 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4274 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4275 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4276
4277 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4278 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4279 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4280 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4281
4282 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4283 value is 0.
4284 [Richard Levitte]
4285
4286 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4287 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4288 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4289
4290 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4291 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4292
4293 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4294 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4295 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4296 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4297 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4298 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4299 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4300 session cache.
4301
4302 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4303 using a local variable.
4304 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4305
4306 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4307 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4308 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4309
4310 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4311 [Richard Levitte]
4312
4313 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4314 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4315
4316 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4317 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4318 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4319
4320 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4321
4322 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4323 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4324 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4325 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4326 [Bodo Moeller]
4327
4328 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4329 present.
4330 [Steve Henson]
4331
4332 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4333 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4334 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4335 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4336 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4337
4338 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4339 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4340 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4341
4342 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4343 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4344 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4345
4346 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4347 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4348 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4349 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4350
4351 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4352 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4353 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4354 modules).
4355 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4356
4357 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4358 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4359 from 0.9.7.
4360 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4361
4362 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4363 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4364 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4365 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4366
4367 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4368 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4369 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4370 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4371
4372 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4373 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4374
4375 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4376 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4377 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4378 [Bodo Moeller]
4379
4380 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4381 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4382 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4383 become invalid.
4384 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4385
4386 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4387 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4388 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4389 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4390 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4391 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4392 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4393 [Bodo Moeller]
4394
4395 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4396 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4397 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4398 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4399
4400 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4401 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4402 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4403 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4404 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4405 the client will at least see that alert.
4406 [Bodo Moeller]
4407
4408 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4409 correctly.
4410 [Bodo Moeller]
4411
4412 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4413 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4414 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4415
4416 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4417 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4418 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4419 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4420 HelloRequest.
4421
4422 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4423 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4424 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4425
4426 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4427 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4428 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4429 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4430 may leak via logfiles.)
4431
4432 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4433 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4434 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4435 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4436 the legal range.
4437 [Bodo Moeller]
4438
4439 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4440 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4441 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4442
4443 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4444 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4445 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4446 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4447 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4448 [Bodo Moeller]
4449
4450 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4451 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4452
4453 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4454 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4455 followed by modular reduction.
4456 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4457
4458 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4459 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4460 [Bodo Moeller]
4461
4462 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4463 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4464 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4465 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4466 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4467
4468 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4470
4471 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4472 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4473 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4474
4475 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4476 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4477 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4478 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4479 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4480 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4481 automatically.
4482 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4483
4484 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4485 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4486 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4487 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4488 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4489
4490 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4491 [Andy Polyakov]
4492
4493 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4494 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4495 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4496 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4497 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4498 to allow the necessary settings.
4499 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4500
4501 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4502 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4503 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4504 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4505 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4506
4507 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4508 dh->length and always used
4509
4510 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4511
4512 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4513 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4514 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4515 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4516 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4517 dh->length.
4518
4519 So switch back to
4520
4521 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4522
4523 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4524 otherwise.
4525 [Bodo Moeller]
4526
4527 *) In
4528
4529 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4530 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4531 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4532 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4533
4534 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4535 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4536 always reject numbers >= n.
4537 [Bodo Moeller]
4538
4539 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4540 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4541 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4542 variable) is not atomic.
4543 [Bodo Moeller]
4544
4545 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4546 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4547 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4548 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4549
4550 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4551 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4552
4553 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4554 little-endian MIPS.
4555 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4556
4557 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4558 [Richard Levitte]
4559
4560 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4561
4562 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4563 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4564 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4565 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4566 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4567 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4568 to traverse all of 'state'.
4569
4570 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4571 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4572 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4573
4574 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4575 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4576
4577 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4578 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4579 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4580 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4581 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4582 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4583 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4584 further strengthens the PRNG.
4585 [Bodo Moeller]
4586
4587 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4588 [Andy Polyakov]
4589
4590 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4591 an error message in this case.
4592 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4593
4594 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4595 [Steve Henson]
4596
4597 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4598 positive and less than q.
4599 [Bodo Moeller]
4600
4601 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4602 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4603 that itself.
4604 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4605
4606 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4607 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4608 [Bodo Moeller]
4609
4610 *) Fix OAEP check.
4611 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4612
4613 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4614 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4615 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4616 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4617 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4618 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4619 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4620 paper.)
4621
4622 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4623 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4624 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4625 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4626
4627 Both problems are now fixed.
4628 [Bodo Moeller]
4629
4630 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4631 (previously it was 1024).
4632 [Bodo Moeller]
4633
4634 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4635 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4636 [Steve Henson]
4637
4638 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4642 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4643 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4644 [Steve Henson]
4645
4646 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4647 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4648 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4649 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4650 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4651 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4652 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4653 environment variables.
4654
4655 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4656 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4657 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4658 [Bodo Moeller]
4659
4660 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4661 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4662 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4663 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4664 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4665 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4666 [Bodo Moeller]
4667
4668 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4669 versions of 'test'.
4670 [Bodo Moeller]
4671
4672 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4673
4674 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4675 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4676
4677 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4678 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4679 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4680 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4681 CygWin.
4682 [Richard Levitte]
4683
4684 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4685 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4686 amount of data available.
4687 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4688 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4689
4690 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4691 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4692 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4693 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4694 [Bodo Moeller]
4695
4696 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4697 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4698 and UnixWare.
4699 [Richard Levitte]
4700
4701 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4702 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4703 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4704 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4705 [Ulf Moeller]
4706
4707 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4708 [Andy Polyakov]
4709
4710 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4711 [Richard Levitte]
4712
4713 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4714 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4715 [Steve Henson]
4716 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4717
4718 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4719 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4720 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4721 (but broken) behaviour.
4722 [Steve Henson]
4723
4724 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4725 it when found.
4726 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4727
4728 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4729 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4730 [Bodo Moeller]
4731
4732 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4733 did not exist.
4734 [Bodo Moeller]
4735
4736 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4737 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4738
4739 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4740 [Richard Levitte]
4741
4742 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4743 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4744 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4745
4746 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4747 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4748 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4749 [Steve Henson]
4750
4751 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4752 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4753 [Ulf Moeller]
4754
4755 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4756 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4757
4758 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4759
4760 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4761
4762 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4763 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4764 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4765 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4766 [Bodo Moeller]
4767
4768 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4769 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4770
4771 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4772 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4773 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4774
4775 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4776 was empty.
4777 [Steve Henson]
4778 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4779
4780 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4781 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4782 but the code is actually correct.
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4786 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4787 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4788 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4789 and leaves the highest bit random.
4790 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4791
4792 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4793 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4794 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4795 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4796 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4797 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4798 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4799 [Bodo Moeller]
4800
4801 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4802 [Ulf Moeller]
4803
4804 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4805 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4806 [Steve Henson]
4807
4808 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4809 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4810 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4811 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4812 headers.
4813 [Richard Levitte]
4814
4815 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4816 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4817 and break the signature.
4818 [Steve Henson]
4819 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4820
4821 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4822 DH ciphersuites.
4823 [Steve Henson]
4824
4825 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4826 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4827 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4828 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4829 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4830 [Bodo Moeller]
4831
4832 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4833 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4834
4835 *) ./config script fixes.
4836 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4837
4838 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4839 [Bodo Moeller]
4840
4841 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4842 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4843 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4844 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4845 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4846
4847 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4848 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4852 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4853 [Steve Henson]
4854
4855 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4856 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4857 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4858 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4859
4860 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4861 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4862
4863 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4864 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4865 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4866 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4867 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4868
4869 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4870 [Bodo Moeller]
4871
4872 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4873 [Ulf Möller]
4874
4875 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4876 [Ulf Möller]
4877
4878 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4879 [Bodo Moeller]
4880
4881 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4882 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4883 [Bodo Moeller]
4884
4885 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4886 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4887 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4888 result of the server certificate verification.)
4889 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4890
4891 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4892 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4893 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4894 [Bodo Moeller]
4895
4896 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4897 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4898 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4899 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4900 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4901 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4902 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4903 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4904 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4905 [Bodo Moeller]
4906
4907 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4908 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4909 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4910 happening the other way round.
4911 [Geoff Thorpe]
4912
4913 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4914 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4915 [Bodo Moeller]
4916
4917 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4918 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4919 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4920 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4921 [Richard Levitte]
4922
4923 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4924 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4925
4926 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4927
4928 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4929 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4930 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4931 that.
4932
4933 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4934
4935 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4936
4937 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4938 static ones.
4939 [Richard Levitte]
4940
4941 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4942
4943 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4944 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4945 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4946 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4947 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4948
4949 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4950 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4951 matter what.
4952 [Richard Levitte]
4953
4954 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4955 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4956
4957 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4958
4959 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4960 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4961 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4962 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4963 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4964 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4965 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4966 by the Finished messages.
4967 [Bodo Moeller]
4968
4969 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4970 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4971
4972 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4973 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4974 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4975 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4976 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4977 appropriately.
4978 [Steve Henson]
4979
4980 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4981 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4982 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4983 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4984 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4985 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4986 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4987 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4988 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4989 together.
4990 [Steve Henson]
4991
4992 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4993 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4994 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4995 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4996
4997 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4998 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4999 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5000 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5001 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5002 the answer.
5003
5004 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5005 been tested well enough.
5006 [Richard Levitte]
5007
5008 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5009 it can return incorrect results.
5010 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5011 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5012 [Bodo Moeller]
5013
5014 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5015 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5016 include zero length content when signing messages.
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5020 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5021 [Bodo Möller]
5022
5023 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5024 [Richard Levitte]
5025
5026 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5027 wrong sign.
5028 [Ulf Möller]
5029
5030 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5031 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5032 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5033 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5034 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5035 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5036 [Richard Levitte]
5037
5038 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5039 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5040
5041 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5042 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5043
5044 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5045 random number < q in the DSA library.
5046 [Ulf Möller]
5047
5048 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5049 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5050 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5051 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5052 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5053 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5054 just makes things more complicated.)
5055 [Bodo Moeller]
5056
5057 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5058 from EGD.
5059 [Ben Laurie]
5060
5061 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5062 work better on such systems.
5063 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5064
5065 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5066 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5067 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5071 if there was more than one signature.
5072 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5073
5074 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5075 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5076 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5077 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5078 [Richard Levitte]
5079
5080 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5081 rather than always using the current time.
5082 [Steve Henson]
5083
5084 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5085 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5086 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5087 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5088 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5089 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5090
5091 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5092 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5093
5094 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5095
5096 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5097 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5098 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5099 the same hash value.
5100
5101 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5102 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5103 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5104 with X509_STORE internally.
5105
5106 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5107 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5108
5109 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5110 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5111 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5112 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5113 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5114 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5115 entirely (maybe later...).
5116
5117 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5118
5119 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5120 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5121 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5122 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5123 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5124 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5125 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5126 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5127
5128 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5129 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5130
5131 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5132 to customise the verify behaviour.
5133 [Steve Henson]
5134
5135 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5136 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5137 [Steve Henson]
5138
5139 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5140 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5141 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5142 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5143 request is improperly encoded.
5144 [Steve Henson]
5145
5146 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5147 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5148 BIO_write(b, ...).
5149
5150 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5151 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5152
5153 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5154 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5155 words set to zero.)
5156 [Bodo Moeller]
5157
5158 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5159 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5160 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5161 [Bodo Moeller]
5162
5163 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5164 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5165 BIO/fp routines also added.
5166 [Steve Henson]
5167
5168 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5169 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5170
5171 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5172 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5173 demos/state_machine.
5174 [Ben Laurie]
5175
5176 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5177 generation and verification.
5178 [Steve Henson]
5179
5180 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5181 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5182 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5183 encode and decode it manually.
5184 [Steve Henson]
5185
5186 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5187 compile under VC++.
5188 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5189
5190 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5191 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5192 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5193 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5194
5195 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5196 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5197 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5198 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5199 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5200 [Steve Henson]
5201
5202 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5203 [Richard Levitte]
5204
5205 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5206 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5207 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5208
5209 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5210 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5211 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5212 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5213 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5214 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5215 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5216 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5217
5218 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5219 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5220
5221 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5222
5223 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5224 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5225 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5226
5227 [Richard Levitte]
5228
5229 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5230 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5231 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5232 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5233 [Richard Levitte]
5234
5235 *) MD4 implemented.
5236 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5237
5238 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5239 [Richard Levitte]
5240
5241 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5242 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5243 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5244 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5245 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5246 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5247 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5248 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5249 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5250 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5251 short or long names are found.
5252 [Steve Henson]
5253
5254 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5255 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5256
5257 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5258 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5259 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5260 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5261
5262 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5263 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5264 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5265 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5266 [Bodo Moeller]
5267
5268 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5269 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5270 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5271 [Richard Levitte]
5272
5273 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5274 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5275 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5276 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5277 to allow the various flags to be set.
5278 [Steve Henson]
5279
5280 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5281 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5282 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5283 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5284 dates to be checked.
5285 [Steve Henson]
5286
5287 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5288 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5289 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5290 [Steve Henson]
5291
5292 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5293 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5294 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5295 [Steve Henson]
5296
5297 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5298 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5299 [Bodo Moeller]
5300
5301 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5302 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5303 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5304 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5305 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5306 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5307 [Richard Levitte]
5308
5309 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5310 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5311 Random Numbers.
5312 [Ulf Möller]
5313
5314 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5315 DSA key.
5316 [Steve Henson]
5317
5318 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5319 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5320 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5321 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5322 form signing output easier to verify.
5323 [Steve Henson]
5324
5325 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5326 [Steve Henson]
5327
5328 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5329 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5330 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5331 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5332 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5333 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5334 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5335 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5336 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5337 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5341
5342 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5343 the syntax given in objects.README.
5344 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5345 obj_mac.h.
5346 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5347 obj_mac.h.
5348
5349 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5350 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5351 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5352 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5353 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5354 consistent name changes.
5355 [Richard Levitte]
5356
5357 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5358 [Bodo Moeller]
5359
5360 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5361 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5362 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5363 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5364 [Richard Levitte]
5365
5366 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5367 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5368 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5369 of safestack.h .
5370 [Steve Henson]
5371
5372 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5373 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5374 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5375 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5376 [Steve Henson]
5377
5378 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5379 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5380 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5381 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5382 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5383 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5384 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5385 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5386 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5387 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5388 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5389 [Steve Henson]
5390
5391 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5392 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5393 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5394 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5395 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5396 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5397 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5398 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5399 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5400 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5401 [Steve Henson]
5402
5403 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5404 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5405 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5406 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5407
5408 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5409 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5410 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5411 omit any duplicate addresses.
5412 [Steve Henson]
5413
5414 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5415 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5416 [Bodo Moeller]
5417
5418 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5419 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5420 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5421 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5422 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5423 [Bodo Moeller]
5424
5425 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5426 software:
5427 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5428 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5429 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5430 Free => OPENSSL_free
5431 [Richard Levitte]
5432
5433 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5434 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5435 [Bodo Moeller]
5436
5437 *) CygWin32 support.
5438 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5439
5440 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5441 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5442 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5443 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5444 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5445 approach.
5446 [Geoff Thorpe]
5447
5448 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5449 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5450 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5451 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5452 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5453 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5454 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5455 [Geoff Thorpe]
5456
5457 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5458 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5459 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5460 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5461 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5462 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5463 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5464 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5465 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5466 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5467 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5468 [Bodo Moeller]
5469
5470 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5471 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5472 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5473 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5474 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5475
5476 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5477 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5478 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5479 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5480 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5481
5482 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5483 ciphers.
5484
5485 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5486 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5487 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5488 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5489
5490 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5491
5492 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5493 of macros.
5494
5495 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5496 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5497 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5498 flags.
5499
5500 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5501 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5502 any installed hardware versions can.
5503 [Steve Henson]
5504
5505 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5506 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5507 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5508 number.
5509 [Bodo Moeller]
5510
5511 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5512 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5513 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5514 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5515 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5516
5517 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5518 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5519 [Steve Henson]
5520
5521 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5522 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5523 [Richard Levitte]
5524
5525 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5526 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5527 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5528 features.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5532 [Ulf Möller]
5533
5534 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5535 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5536 but no ssl client purpose.
5537 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5538
5539 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5540 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5541 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5542 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5543 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5544 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5545 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5546 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5547 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5548 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5549 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5550 [Steve Henson]
5551
5552 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5553 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5554 be obtained from the error queue.
5555 [Bodo Moeller]
5556
5557 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5558 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5559 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5560 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5561 [Bodo Moeller]
5562
5563 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5564 [Ulf Möller]
5565
5566 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5567 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5568 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5569 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5570 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5571 [Geoff Thorpe]
5572
5573 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5574 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5575 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5576 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5577 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5578 [Geoff Thorpe]
5579
5580 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5581 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5582 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5583 may not be NULL.
5584 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5585
5586 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5587 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5588 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5589 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5590 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5591 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5592 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5593 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5594 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5595 or "the configuration storage API"...
5596
5597 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5598
5599 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5600 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5601
5602 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5603
5604 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5605
5606 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5607 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5608 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5609 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5610 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5611 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5612 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5613
5614 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5615 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5616 [Richard Levitte]
5617
5618 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5619 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5620 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5621 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5622 [Bodo Moeller]
5623
5624 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5625 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5626 them in a portable way.
5627 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5628
5629 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5630
5631 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5632
5633 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5634 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5635
5636 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5637 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5638 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5639 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5640
5641 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5642 was larger than the MD block size.
5643 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5644
5645 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5646 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5647 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5648 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5649 components.
5650 [Steve Henson]
5651
5652 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5653 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5654 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5655
5656 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5657 discouraged.
5658 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5659
5660 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5661 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5662 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5663 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5664 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5665 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5666
5667 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5668 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5669
5670 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5671 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5672 [Bodo Moeller]
5673
5674 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5675 [Bodo Moeller]
5676
5677 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5678 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5679 its own key.
5680 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5681 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5682 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5683 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5684 [Bodo Moeller]
5685
5686 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5687 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5688 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5689 does not suppress any output.
5690 [Richard Levitte]
5691
5692 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5693 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5694 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5695 with all the associated security issues.
5696
5697 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5698 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5699 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5700 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5701 use the value in the default purpose.
5702 [Steve Henson]
5703
5704 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5705 and fix a memory leak.
5706 [Steve Henson]
5707
5708 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5709 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5710 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5711 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5712 [Bodo Moeller]
5713
5714 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5715 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5716 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5717 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5718 [Bodo Moeller]
5719
5720 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5721 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5722 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5723 [Bodo Moeller]
5724
5725 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5726 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5727 [Bodo Moeller]
5728
5729 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5730 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5731 which was free.
5732 [Steve Henson]
5733
5734 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5735 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5736 [Bodo Moeller]
5737
5738 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5739 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5740 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5741 [Bodo Moeller]
5742
5743 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5744 number generation fails.
5745 [Bodo Moeller]
5746
5747 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5748 [Bodo Moeller]
5749
5750 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5751 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5752
5753 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5754 [Ulf Möller]
5755
5756 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5757 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5758
5759 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5760 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5761
5762 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5763
5764 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5765 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5769 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5770
5771 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5772 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5773 [Ulf Möller]
5774
5775 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5776 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5777 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5778 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5779 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5780 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5781
5782 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5783 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5784 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5785 for example.
5786 [Steve Henson]
5787
5788 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5789 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5790 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5791 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5792 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5793 counter, some don't.)
5794 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5795 counters or duplicate objects.
5796 [Steve Henson]
5797
5798 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5799 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5800 [Steve Henson]
5801
5802 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5803 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5804 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5805
5806 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5807 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5808 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5809 or -rand.
5810 [Ulf Möller]
5811
5812 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5813 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5814 [Steve Henson]
5815
5816 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5817 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5818 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5819 cipher list.
5820 [Steve Henson]
5821
5822 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5823 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5824 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5825 [Steve Henson]
5826
5827 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5828 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5829 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5830 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5831 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5832 should work without changes.
5833 [Richard Levitte]
5834
5835 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5836 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5837 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5838 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5839 must be defined. E.g.,
5840 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5841 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5842 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5843 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5844
5845 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5846 record layer.
5847 [Bodo Moeller]
5848
5849 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5850 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5851 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5852 [Steve Henson]
5853
5854 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5855 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5856 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5857 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5858 [Steve Henson]
5859
5860 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5861 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5862 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5863 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5864 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5865 is prompted for as usual.
5866 [Steve Henson]
5867
5868 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5869 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5870 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5871 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5872
5873 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5874 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5875 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5876 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5880 [Andy Polyakov]
5881
5882 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5883 of seed file.
5884 [Steve Henson]
5885
5886 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5887 [Bodo Moeller]
5888
5889 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5890 [Steve Henson]
5891
5892 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5893 bits.
5894 [Ulf Möller]
5895
5896 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5897 [Ulf Möller]
5898
5899 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5900 [Andy Polyakov]
5901
5902 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5903 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5904 [Ulf Möller]
5905
5906 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5907 options to produce them.
5908 [Steve Henson]
5909
5910 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5911 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5912 [Ulf Möller]
5913
5914 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5915 for p == 0.
5916 [Ulf Möller]
5917
5918 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5919 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5920 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5921 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5922 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5923 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5924 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5925 [Steve Henson]
5926
5927 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5928 [Steve Henson]
5929
5930 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5931 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5932 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5933 [Bodo Moeller]
5934
5935 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5936 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5937
5938 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5939 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5940 [Ulf Möller]
5941
5942 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5943 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5944 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5945 has already seen).
5946 [Bodo Moeller]
5947
5948 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5949 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5950
5951 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5952 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5953 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5954 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5955 generation becomes much faster.
5956
5957 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5958 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5959 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5960 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5961 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5962 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5963 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5964 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5965 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5966 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5967 [Bodo Moeller]
5968
5969 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5970 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5971 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5972 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5973 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5974 trial division stage.
5975 [Bodo Moeller]
5976
5977 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5978 as ASN1_TIME.
5979 [Steve Henson]
5980
5981 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5985 [Ulf Möller]
5986
5987 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5988 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5989 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5990 the comments.
5991 [Ulf Möller]
5992
5993 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5994 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5995 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5996 [Bodo Moeller]
5997
5998 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5999 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6000 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6001 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6002
6003 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6004 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6005 [Steve Henson]
6006
6007 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6008 [Ulf Möller]
6009
6010 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6011 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6012 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6013 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6014 [Ulf Möller]
6015
6016 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6017 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6018 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6019 [Ulf Möller]
6020
6021 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6022 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6023 (instead of parameters) in future.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6027 when a new cipher list is set.
6028 [Steve Henson]
6029
6030 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6031 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6032 wrong.
6033
6034 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6035 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6036 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6037
6038 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6039 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6040 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6041 an error is flagged.
6042
6043 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6044 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6045 the readability was also increased :-)
6046 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6047
6048 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6049 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6050 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6051 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6052 as the root CA.
6053 [Steve Henson]
6054
6055 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6056 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6060 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6061 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6062 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6063 instead.
6064
6065 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6066 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6067 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6068 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6069 because they handle more complex structures.)
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6073 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6074 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6075 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6076
6077 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6078 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6079 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6080 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6081 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6082 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6083 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6084 [Ulf Möller]
6085
6086 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6087 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6088 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6089 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6090 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6091 [Bodo Moeller]
6092
6093 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6094 [Bodo Moeller]
6095
6096 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6097 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6098 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6099 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6100 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6101 to use this.
6102
6103 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6104 code.
6105 [Steve Henson]
6106
6107 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6108 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6109 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6110 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6111 [Steve Henson]
6112
6113 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6114 [Ulf Möller]
6115
6116 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6117 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6118 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6119 international characters are used.
6120
6121 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6122 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6123 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6124 in ASN1 order.
6125 [Steve Henson]
6126
6127 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6128 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6129 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6130 request.
6131
6132 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6133 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6134 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6135 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6136 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6137 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6138
6139 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6140 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6141 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6142 be handled by the string table functions.
6143
6144 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6145 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6146 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6147 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6148 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6149 types at all.
6150 [Steve Henson]
6151
6152 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6153 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6154 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6155 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6156 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6157
6158 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6159 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6160 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6161 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6162 [Bodo Moeller]
6163
6164 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6165 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6166 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6167 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6168 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6169 SHA1.
6170 [Andy Polyakov]
6171
6172 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6173 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6174 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6175 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6176 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6177 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6178 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6179 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6180
6181 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6182 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6183 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6184 [Steve Henson]
6185
6186 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6187 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6188 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6189 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6190 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6191 support to pkcs8 application.
6192 [Steve Henson]
6193
6194 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6195 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6196 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6197 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6198 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6199 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6200 [Bodo Moeller]
6201
6202 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6203 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6204 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6205 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6206 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6207 consistency.
6208 [Bodo Moeller]
6209
6210 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6211 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6212 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6213 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6214 example.
6215 [Steve Henson]
6216
6217 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6218 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6219 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6220 and any application specific purposes.
6221
6222 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6223 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6224 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6225 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6226 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6227 if the certificate is self signed.
6228 [Steve Henson]
6229
6230 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6231 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6232 [Steve Henson]
6233
6234 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6235 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6236 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6237 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6238 [Steve Henson]
6239
6240 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6241 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6242 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6243 Update documentation.
6244 [Steve Henson]
6245
6246 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6247 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6248 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6249 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6250 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6254 for details.
6255 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6256
6257 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6258 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6259 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6260 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6261 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6262 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6263 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6264 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6265 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6266 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6267
6268 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6269
6270 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6271 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6272 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6273 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6274 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6275
6276 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6277 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6278 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6279 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6280 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6281 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6282 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6283 request additional information:
6284 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6285 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6286
6287 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6288 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6289 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6290 options.
6291
6292 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6293 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6294
6295 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6296 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6297 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6298
6299 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6300 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6301
6302 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6303 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6304 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6305 algorithm.
6306 [Steve Henson]
6307
6308 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6309 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6310 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6311
6312 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6313 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6314 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6315 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6316 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6317 included in OpenSSL.
6318 [Steve Henson]
6319
6320 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6321 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6322 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6323 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6324 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6325 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6326 [Bodo Moeller]
6327
6328 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6329 PKCS12 structure.
6330 [Steve Henson]
6331
6332 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6333 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6334 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6335 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6336 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6337 structure.
6338 [Steve Henson]
6339
6340 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6341 need initialising.
6342 [Steve Henson]
6343
6344 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6345 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6346 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6347 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6348 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6349 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6350 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6351 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6352 be maintained manually.
6353
6354 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6355 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6356 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6357 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6358 work because people forget to call this function]
6359 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6360 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6361 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6365 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6366 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6367 should be discouraged from doing it.
6368 [Ben Laurie]
6369
6370 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6371 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6372 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6373 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6374 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6375 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6376 [Steve Henson]
6377
6378 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6379 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6380 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6381
6382 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6383 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6384 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6385
6386 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6387 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6388 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6389 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6390 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6391 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6392
6393 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6394 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6395 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6396
6397 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6398 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6399 and vice versa.
6400
6401 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6402 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6403 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6404 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6405 [Steve Henson]
6406
6407 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6411 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6412 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6413 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6414 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6415 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6416 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6417 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6418 keys so we should be OK.
6419
6420 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6421 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6422 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6423 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6424 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6425 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6426 stay in the name of compatibility.
6427
6428 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6429 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6430 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6431
6432 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6433 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6434 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6435 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6436 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6437 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6438 supplied key).
6439 [Steve Henson]
6440
6441 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6442 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6443 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6444 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6445 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6446 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6447 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6448 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6449 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6450 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6451 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6452 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6453 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6454 [Steve Henson]
6455
6456 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6457 [Steve Henson]
6458
6459 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6460 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6461 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6462 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6463 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6464 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6465 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6466 openssl verify ss.pem
6467 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6468 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6469 is OK.
6470 [Steve Henson]
6471
6472 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6473 (and add it to external session representation).
6474 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6475 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6476 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6477 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6478 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6479 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6480 security holes.
6481 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6482
6483 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6484 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6485 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6486 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6489 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6490 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6494 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6495 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6496 code.
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6500 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6501 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6502
6503 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6504 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6505 certificate auxiliary information.
6506 [Steve Henson]
6507
6508 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6509 the 'enc' command.
6510 [Steve Henson]
6511
6512 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6513 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6514 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6515 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6516 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6517 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6518 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6519 [Richard Levitte]
6520
6521 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6522 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6526 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6527 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6528 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6529 [Steve Henson]
6530
6531 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6532 [Steve Henson]
6533
6534 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6535 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6536 [Steve Henson]
6537
6538 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6539 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6540 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6541 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6542 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6543 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6544 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6545 using the new 'x509' options.
6546
6547 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6548 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6549 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6550 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6551 for all purposes.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6555 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6556 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6557 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6558 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6559 [Mark Cox]
6560
6561 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6562 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6563 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6564 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6565 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6566 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6567 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6568 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6569 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6570 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6571 [Steve Henson]
6572
6573 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6574 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6575 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6576 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6577 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6578 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6579 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6580 [Steve Henson]
6581
6582 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6583 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6584 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6585 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6586 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6587 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6588 openssl.cnf for more info.
6589 [Steve Henson]
6590
6591 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6592 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6593 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6594 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6595 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6596 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6597 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6598 md should be large enough anyway.
6599 [Bodo Moeller]
6600
6601 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6602 for handling the random seed file.
6603
6604 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6605 ca,
6606 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6607 s_client,
6608 s_server,
6609 x509 (when signing).
6610 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6611 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6612 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6613
6614 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6615 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6616 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6617 that support '-rand'.
6618 [Bodo Moeller]
6619
6620 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6621 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6622 [Bodo Moeller]
6623
6624 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6625 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6626 [Bill Perry]
6627
6628 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6629 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6630 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6631 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6632 is suitable.
6633 [Steve Henson]
6634
6635 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6636 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6637 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6638 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6642 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6643 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6644 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6645 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6646 print out all the purposes.
6647 [Steve Henson]
6648
6649 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6650 functions.
6651 [Steve Henson]
6652
6653 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6654 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6655 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6656 single function call.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6660 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6661 [Andy Polyakov]
6662
6663 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6664 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6665 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6666 [Steve Henson]
6667
6668 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6669 when producing the local key id.
6670 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6671
6672 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6673 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6674 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6675 "server.pem".
6676 [Steve Henson]
6677
6678 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6679 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6680 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6681 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6682 [Steve Henson]
6683
6684 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6685 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6686 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6687 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6688
6689 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6690 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6691 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6692 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6693
6694 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6695 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6696 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6697 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6698 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6699 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6700 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6701 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6702 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6703 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6704 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6705 trivial: move one line.
6706 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6707
6708 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6709 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6710 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6711 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6712 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6713 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6714 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6715 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6716 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6717 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6718 with an event loop for example.
6719 [Steve Henson]
6720
6721 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6722 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6723 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6724 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6725 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6726 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6727 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6728 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6729 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6733 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6734 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6735 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6736 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6737 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6741 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6742 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6743 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6744
6745 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6746 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6747 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6748 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6749 key generation.
6750 [Steve Henson]
6751
6752 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6753 (still largely untested)
6754 [Bodo Moeller]
6755
6756 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6757 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6758 [Steve Henson]
6759
6760 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6761 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6762 [Steve Henson]
6763
6764 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6765 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6766 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6767 [Bodo Moeller]
6768
6769 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6770 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6771 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6772 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6773 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6774 [Steve Henson]
6775
6776 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6777 [Andy Polyakov]
6778
6779 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6780 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6781 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6782 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6783 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6784 in ca.
6785 [Steve Henson]
6786
6787 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6788 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6789 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6790 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6791 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6792 [Steve Henson]
6793
6794 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6795 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6796 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6797 are otherwise ignored at present.
6798 [Steve Henson]
6799
6800 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6801 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6802 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6803 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6804 copied until the next read.
6805 [Steve Henson]
6806
6807 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6808 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6809 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6810 [Steve Henson]
6811
6812 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6813 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6814 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6815 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6816 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6817 associated functions.
6818 [Steve Henson]
6819
6820 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6821 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6822 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6823 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6824 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6825 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6826 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6827 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6828 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6829 memory BIOs.
6830 [Steve Henson]
6831
6832 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6833 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6834 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6835 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6836 [Bodo Moeller]
6837
6838 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6839 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6840 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6841 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6842 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6843 functionality.
6844 [Steve Henson]
6845
6846 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6847 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6848 under Win32.
6849 [Steve Henson]
6850
6851 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6852 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6853 extensions to be obtained and added.
6854 [Steve Henson]
6855
6856 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6857 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6858 [Bodo Moeller]
6859
6860 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6861
6862 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6863 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6864
6865 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6866 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6867
6868 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6869 program.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6873 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6874 DH parameters contain its length).
6875
6876 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6877 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6878 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6879 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6880 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6881 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6882 utter importance to use
6883 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6884 or
6885 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6886 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6887 attacks may become possible!
6888 [Bodo Moeller]
6889
6890 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6891 [Bodo Moeller]
6892
6893 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6894 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6895 [Steve Henson]
6896
6897 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6898 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6899 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6900 or long name.
6901 [Steve Henson]
6902
6903 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6904 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6905 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6906 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6907 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6908 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6909 private key operations.
6910 [Steve Henson]
6911
6912 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6913 [Andy Polyakov]
6914
6915 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6916 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6917 to
6918 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6919 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6920 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6921 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6922 the password callback is called.
6923 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6924
6925 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6926
6927 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6928 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6929 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6930 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6931 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6932 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6933 this will work.
6934
6935 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6936 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6937 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6938 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6939 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6940 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6941 [Bodo Moeller]
6942
6943 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6944 [Andy Polyakov]
6945
6946 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6947 delete an unused file.
6948 [Ulf Möller]
6949
6950 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6951 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6952 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6953 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6954 [Steve Henson]
6955
6956 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6957 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6958 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6959 of an error.
6960 [Bodo Moeller]
6961
6962 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6963 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6964 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6965
6966 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6967 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6968 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6969 comparison" warnings.
6970 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6974 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6975 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6976 [Steve Henson]
6977
6978 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6979 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6980
6981 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6982 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6983
6984 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6985 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6986 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6987
6988 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6989 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6990 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6991 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6992 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6993 this bug.
6994 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6995
6996 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6997 The interface is as follows:
6998 Applications can use
6999 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7000 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7001 "off" is now the default.
7002 The library internally uses
7003 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7004 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7005 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7006
7007 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7008 even the default) are now avoided.
7009
7010 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7011 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7012 than just having a counter.
7013
7014 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7015
7016 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7017 extensions.
7018 [Bodo Moeller]
7019
7020 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7021 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7022 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7023 Initial "mode" flags are:
7024
7025 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7026 a single record has been written.
7027 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7028 retries use the same buffer location.
7029 (But all of the contents must be
7030 copied!)
7031 [Bodo Moeller]
7032
7033 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7034 worked.
7035
7036 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7037 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7038
7039 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7040 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7041 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7042 [Steve Henson]
7043
7044 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7045 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7046 test programs.
7047 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7048
7049 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7050 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7051 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7052 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7053 point to the end.
7054 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7055 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7056
7057 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7058 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7059 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7060 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7061 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7062 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7063 [Steve Henson]
7064
7065 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7066 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7067 necessary function names.
7068 [Steve Henson]
7069
7070 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7071 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7072 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7073 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7074 [Bodo Moeller]
7075
7076 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7077 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7078 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7079 [Steve Henson]
7080
7081 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7082 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7083 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7084 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7085 such programs?)
7086 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7087 need locks.
7088 [Bodo Moeller]
7089
7090 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7091 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7092 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7093 [Bodo Moeller]
7094
7095 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7096 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7097 appropriate.
7098 [Bodo Moeller]
7099
7100 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7101 for the encoded length.
7102 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7103
7104 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7105 [Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7108 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7109 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7110 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7111 [Steve Henson]
7112
7113 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7114 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7116
7117 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7118 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7119 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7120 unusual formatting.
7121 [Steve Henson]
7122
7123 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7124 to use the new extension code.
7125 [Steve Henson]
7126
7127 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7128 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7129 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7130 constant.
7131 [Steve Henson]
7132
7133 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7134 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7135 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7136 [Bodo Moeller]
7137
7138 #if 0
7139 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7140 [Ben Laurie]
7141 #else
7142 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7143 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7144 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7145 #endif
7146
7147 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7148 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7149 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7150 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7151 [Ben Laurie]
7152
7153 *) DES library cleanups.
7154 [Ulf Möller]
7155
7156 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7157 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7158 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7159 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7160 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7161 of v2.0.
7162 [Steve Henson]
7163
7164 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7165 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7166 [Bodo Moeller]
7167
7168 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7169 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7170 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7171 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7172 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7173 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7174 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7175 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7176 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7180 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7181 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7182 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7183 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7184 value doesn't matter.
7185 [Steve Henson]
7186
7187 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7188 support mutable.
7189 [Ben Laurie]
7190
7191 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7192 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7193 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7194 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7195
7196 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7197 [Ulf Möller]
7198
7199 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7200 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7201 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7202
7203 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7204 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7205
7206 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7207 [Ben Laurie]
7208
7209 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7210 [Ben Laurie]
7211
7212 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7213 [Ben Laurie]
7214
7215 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7216 [Bodo Moeller]
7217
7218
7219 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7220
7221 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7222
7223 *) Updated some demos.
7224 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7225
7226 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7227 [Wu Zhigang]
7228
7229 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7230 [Steve Henson]
7231
7232 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7233 [Steve Henson]
7234
7235 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7236 instead of using a fixed path.
7237 [Bodo Moeller]
7238
7239 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7240 [Andy Polyakov]
7241
7242 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7243 [Richard Levitte]
7244
7245
7246 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7247
7248 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7249 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7250 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7251
7252 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7253 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7254 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7255 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7256 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7257 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7258 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7259 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7260 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7261 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7262 [Steve Henson]
7263
7264 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7265 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7266 [Steve Henson]
7267
7268 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7269 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7270 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7271 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7272 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7273
7274 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7275 [Bodo Moeller]
7276
7277 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7278 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7279 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7280 [Steve Henson]
7281
7282 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7283 [Ben Laurie]
7284
7285 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7286 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7287 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7288 key elements as negative integers.
7289 [Steve Henson]
7290
7291 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7292 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7293
7294 *) VMS support.
7295 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7296
7297 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7298 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7299 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7300 [Steve Henson]
7301
7302 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7303 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7304 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7305 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7306 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7307 [Bodo Moeller]
7308
7309 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7310 [Ulf Möller]
7311
7312 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7313 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7314 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7316
7317 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7318 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7319 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7320
7321 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7322 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7323 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7324 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7325 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7326 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7327 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7328 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7329 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7330
7331 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7332 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7333 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7334 does not influence s as it used to.
7335
7336 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7337 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7338 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7339 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7340 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7341 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7342 [Bodo Moeller]
7343
7344 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7345 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7346 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7347 key type.
7348 [Steve Henson]
7349
7350 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7351 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7352 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7353 and 'x509').
7354 [Steve Henson]
7355
7356 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7357 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7358 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7359 extension option.
7360 [Steve Henson]
7361
7362 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7363 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7364 [Ben Laurie]
7365
7366 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7367 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7368
7369 *) Support Mingw32.
7370 [Ulf Möller]
7371
7372 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7373 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7374
7375 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7376 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7377
7378 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7379 [Ulf Möller]
7380
7381 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7382 [Anonymous]
7383
7384 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7386
7387 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7388 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7389 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7390 DER-encoded.)
7391 [Bodo Moeller]
7392
7393 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7394 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7395 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7396 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7397 now it really counts the depth.
7398 [Bodo Moeller]
7399
7400 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7401 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7402 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7403 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7404 didn't match the private key).
7405
7406 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7407 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7408 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7409 [Bodo Moeller]
7410
7411 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7412 [Ulf Möller]
7413
7414 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7415 David Harris.
7416 [Bodo Moeller]
7417
7418 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7419 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7420 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7421 [Bodo Moeller]
7422
7423 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7424 [Bodo Moeller]
7425
7426 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7427 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7428 such as /usr/local/bin.
7429 [Bodo Moeller]
7430
7431 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7432 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7433
7434 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7435 [Ulf Möller]
7436
7437 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7438 extension adding in x509 utility.
7439 [Steve Henson]
7440
7441 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7442 [Ulf Möller]
7443
7444 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7445 prototypes.
7446 [Steve Henson]
7447
7448 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7449 [Ulf Möller]
7450
7451 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7452 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7453 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7454 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7455 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7456 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7457 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7458 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7459 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7460 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7461 [Steve Henson]
7462
7463 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7464 [Bodo Moeller]
7465
7466 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7467 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7468 [Bodo Moeller]
7469
7470 *) Fix some race conditions.
7471 [Bodo Moeller]
7472
7473 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7474 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7475 [Steve Henson]
7476
7477 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7478 [Ulf Möller]
7479
7480 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7481 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7482 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7483 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7484
7485 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7486 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7487
7488 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7489 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7490 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7491
7492 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7493 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7494
7495 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7496 [Ulf Möller]
7497
7498 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7499 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7500
7501 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7502 [Ulf Möller]
7503
7504 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7505 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7506
7507 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7508 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7509 [Steve Henson]
7510
7511 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7512 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7513 [Ben Laurie]
7514
7515 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7516 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7520 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7524 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7525 [Steve Henson]
7526
7527 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7528 support typesafe stack.
7529 [Steve Henson]
7530
7531 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7532 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7533
7534 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7535 old X509V3 handling code.
7536 [Steve Henson]
7537
7538 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7539 [Ulf Möller]
7540
7541 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7542 [Bodo Moeller]
7543
7544 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7545 [Ben Laurie]
7546
7547 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7548 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7549
7550 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7551 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7552 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7553 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7554 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7555 [Ben Laurie]
7556
7557 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7558 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7559 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7560 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7561 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7562
7563 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7564 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7565 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7566 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7567
7568 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7569 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7570 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7571 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7572
7573 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7574 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7575 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7576 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7577 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7578 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7579 [Bodo Moeller]
7580
7581 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7582 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7583 [Bodo Moeller]
7584
7585 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7586 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7587 [Ulf Möller]
7588
7589 *) Tweaks to Configure
7590 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7591
7592 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7593 yet...
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7597 [Ulf Möller]
7598
7599 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7600 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7601 [Ulf Möller]
7602
7603 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7604 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7605 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7606 [Bodo Moeller]
7607
7608 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7609 [Bodo Moeller]
7610
7611 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7612 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7613 [Steve Henson]
7614
7615 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7616 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7617 to library startup routines.
7618 [Steve Henson]
7619
7620 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7621 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7622 codes along the way.
7623 [Steve Henson]
7624
7625 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7626 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7627 objects to objects.h
7628 [Steve Henson]
7629
7630 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7631 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7632 [Steve Henson]
7633
7634 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7635 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7636
7637 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7638 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7639 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7640
7641 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7642 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7643 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7644
7645 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7646 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7647 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7648
7649
7650 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7651
7652 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7653 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7654 [Ben Laurie]
7655
7656 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7657 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7658 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7659 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7660 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7661
7662 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7663 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7664 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7665 document.
7666 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7667
7668 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7669 Malloc, Free.
7670 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7671
7672 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7673 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7674
7675 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7676 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7677 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7678 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7679
7680 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7681 [Ben Laurie]
7682
7683 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7684 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7685 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7686 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7687 [Steve Henson]
7688
7689 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7690 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7691 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7692 [Steve Henson]
7693
7694 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7695 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7696 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7697 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7698 installed as `perl').
7699 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7700
7701 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7702 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7703
7704 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7705 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7706 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7707 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7708 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7712 [Ben Laurie]
7713
7714 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7715 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7716 is horrible: I feel ill....
7717 [Steve Henson]
7718
7719 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7720 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7721 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7722 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7723 [Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7726 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7727
7728 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7729 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7730 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7732
7733 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7734 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7735 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7736 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7737 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7738 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7739 openssl_bio.xs.
7740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7741
7742 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7743 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7744
7745 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7746 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7747
7748 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7749 [Ben Laurie]
7750
7751 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7752 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7753 in CRLs.
7754 [Steve Henson]
7755
7756 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7757 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7758 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7759 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7760 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7761 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7762 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7763 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7764 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7765 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7766 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7767
7768 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7769 [Ben Laurie]
7770
7771 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7772 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7773 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7774 for linking it into DSOs.
7775 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7776
7777 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7778 Fixed.
7779 [Ben Laurie]
7780
7781 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7782 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7783 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7784 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7785 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7786 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7787
7788 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7789 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7790 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7791 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7792 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7793 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7795
7796 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7797 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7798 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7799 encryption.
7800 [Ben Laurie]
7801
7802 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7803 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7804 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7805 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7806 [Steve Henson]
7807
7808 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7809 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7810 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7811 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7812 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7813 field as blank.
7814 [Steve Henson]
7815
7816 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7817 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7818 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7819 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7820 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7821
7822 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7823 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7824 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7825
7826 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7827 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7828
7829 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7830 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7831 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7832 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7833 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7834 [Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7837 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7838 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7839 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7840 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7841 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7842 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7843 [Ben Laurie]
7844
7845 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7846 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7847 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7848 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7849 [Ben Laurie]
7850
7851 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7852 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7853
7854 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7855 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7856 [Steve Henson]
7857
7858 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7859 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7860 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7861 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7862 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7863 (e.g. s_server).
7864 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7865 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7866 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7867 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7868 no way to reconfigure them.
7869 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7870 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7871 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7872 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7873 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7875
7876 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7877 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7878 recognized by the users.
7879 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7880
7881 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7882 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7883 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7884 already masked variable.
7885 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7886
7887 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7888 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7889
7890 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7891 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7892 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7893 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7894
7895 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7896 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7898
7899 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7900 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7901 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7902 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7903 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7904 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7905 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7906 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7907 now, too.
7908 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7909
7910 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7911 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7912 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7913
7914 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7915 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7916 config file.
7917 [Steve Henson]
7918
7919 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7920 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7921
7922 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7923 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7924 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7925 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7926 [Ben Laurie]
7927
7928 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7929 [Steve Henson]
7930
7931 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7932 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7933
7934 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7935 [Ben Laurie]
7936
7937 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7938 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7939 [Steve Henson]
7940
7941 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7942 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7943 [Steve Henson]
7944
7945 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7946 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7947 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7948 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7949 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7950 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7951 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7952 Ben Laurie]
7953
7954 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7955 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7956
7957 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7958 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7959 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7960 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7961 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7962
7963 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7964 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7965 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7966 [Steve Henson]
7967
7968 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7969 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7970 an example.
7971 [Steve Henson]
7972
7973 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7974 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7975 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7976
7977 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7978 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7979 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7980 build instructions.
7981 [Steve Henson]
7982
7983 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7984 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7985 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7986 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7987 [Steve Henson]
7988
7989 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7990 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7991 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7992 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7993 [Ben Laurie]
7994
7995 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7996 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7997 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7998 so it wasn't spotted.
7999 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8000
8001 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8002 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8003 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8004 vectors if you have them.
8005 [Ben Laurie]
8006
8007 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8008 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8009 [Ben Laurie]
8010
8011 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8012 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8013 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8014 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8015 If you do a:
8016 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8017 it will update them.
8018 [Steve Henson]
8019
8020 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8021 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8022 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8023 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8024 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8025 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8026 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8027 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8028
8029 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8030 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8031 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8032 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8033 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8034 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8035 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8036 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8037 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8038 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8039
8040 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8041 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8042 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8043 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8044 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8045 [Steve Henson]
8046
8047 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8048 INTEGER code.
8049 [Steve Henson]
8050
8051 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8052 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8053
8054 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8055 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8056
8057 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8058 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8059 [Ben Laurie]
8060
8061 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8062 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8063
8064 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8065 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8066
8067 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8068 [Steve Henson]
8069
8070 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8071 few typos.
8072 [Steve Henson]
8073
8074 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8075 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8076 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8077 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8078
8079 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8080 [Steve Henson]
8081
8082 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8083 [Steve Henson]
8084
8085 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8086 [Steve Henson]
8087
8088 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8089 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8090 [Steve Henson]
8091
8092 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8093 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8094 CA extensions.
8095 [Steve Henson]
8096
8097 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8098 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8099 [Steve Henson]
8100
8101 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8102 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8103 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8104 [Steve Henson]
8105
8106 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8107 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8108 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8109 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8110 properly to be processed.
8111 [Steve Henson]
8112
8113 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8114 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8115 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8116 [Ben Laurie]
8117
8118 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8119 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8120
8121 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8122 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8123 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8124 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8125 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8126 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8127 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8128 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8129 or delete all the .err files.
8130 [Steve Henson]
8131
8132 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8133 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8134 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8135 to regenerate it if needed.
8136 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8137 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8138
8139 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8140 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8141
8142 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8143 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8144 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8145 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8146 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8147 [Steve Henson]
8148
8149 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8150 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8151
8152 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8153 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8154
8155 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8156 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8157 error, but didn't set one).
8158 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8159
8160 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8161 [Ben Laurie]
8162
8163 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8164 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8165 [Steve Henson]
8166
8167 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8168 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8169
8170 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8171 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8172 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8173 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8174 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8175 OID is not part of the table.
8176 [Steve Henson]
8177
8178 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8179 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8180 [Ben Laurie]
8181
8182 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8183 [Ben Laurie]
8184
8185 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8186 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8187 was "1234").
8188 [Steve Henson]
8189
8190 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8191 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8192
8193 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8194 NULL pointers.
8195 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8196
8197 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8198 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8199
8200 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8201 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8202
8203 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8204 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8205
8206 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8207 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8208 [Ben Laurie]
8209
8210 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8211 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8212 [Steve Henson]
8213
8214 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8215 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8216
8217 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8218 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8219
8220 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8221 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8222
8223 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8224 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8225
8226 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8227 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8228 unused in the certificate verification process.
8229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8230
8231 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8232 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8233 [Steve Henson]
8234
8235 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8236 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8237 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8238
8239 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8240 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8241 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8242 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8243 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8244
8245 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8246 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8247 [Steve Henson]
8248
8249 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8250 [Steve Henson]
8251
8252 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8253 [Paul Sutton]
8254
8255 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8256 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8257
8258 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8259 [Ben Laurie]
8260
8261 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8262 [Ben Laurie]
8263
8264 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8265 [Ben Laurie]
8266
8267 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8268 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8269 other error libraries.
8270 [Steve Henson]
8271
8272 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8273 [Steve Henson]
8274
8275 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8276 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8277 be read in.
8278 [Steve Henson]
8279
8280 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8281 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8282 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8283 the new set of documenation files.
8284 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8285
8286 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8287 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8288 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8289 number of arguments.
8290 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8291
8292 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8293 [Ben Laurie]
8294
8295 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8296 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8297 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8298
8299 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8300 [Ben Laurie]
8301
8302 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8303 nextstep
8304 ncr-scde
8305 unixware-2.0
8306 unixware-2.0-pentium
8307 sco5-cc.
8308 [Ben Laurie]
8309
8310 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8311 before they are needed.
8312 [Ben Laurie]
8313
8314 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8315 [Ben Laurie]
8316
8317
8318 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8319
8320 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8321 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8322 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8323
8324 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8325 [Paul Sutton]
8326
8327 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8328 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8330
8331 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8332 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8333 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8334
8335 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8336 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8338
8339 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8340 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8341
8342 *) Updated the README file.
8343 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8344
8345 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8346 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8347 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8348
8349 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8350 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8352
8353 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8354 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8355 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8356 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8357 o removed obsolete TODO file
8358 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8360
8361 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8362 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8363 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8364 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8365 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8366 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8368
8369 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8370 [Mark J. Cox]
8371
8372 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8373 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8374 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8375 summer 1998.
8376 [The OpenSSL Project]
8377
8378
8379 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8380
8381 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/

8383
8384 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8385 [Eric A. Young]
8386

8388 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8389 [Eric A. Young]
8390
8391 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8392 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8393 available).
8394 [Eric A. Young]
8395
8396 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8397 binary structures
8398 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8399
8400 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8401 [Eric A. Young]
8402
8403 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8404 [Eric A. Young]
8405
8406 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8407 [Eric A. Young]
8408
8409 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8410 [Eric A. Young]
8411
8412 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8413 [Eric A. Young]
8414
8415 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8416 [Eric A. Young]
8417
8418 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8419 [Eric A. Young]
8420
8421 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8422 [Eric A. Young]
8423
8424 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8425 [Eric A. Young]
8426
8427 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8428 [Eric A. Young]
8429
8430 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8431 [Eric A. Young]
8432
8433 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8434 [Eric A. Young]
8435
8436 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8437 [Eric A. Young]
8438
8439 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8440 [Eric A. Young]
8441
8442 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8443 [Eric A. Young]
8444
8445 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8446 [Eric A. Young]
8447
8448 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8449 [Eric A. Young]
8450
8451 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8452 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8453 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8454 [Eric A. Young]
8455
8456 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8457 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8458 [Eric A. Young]
8459
8460 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8461 [Eric A. Young]
8462
8463 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8464 [Eric A. Young]
8465
8466 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8467 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8468 [Eric A. Young]

8471 [Eric A. Young]
8472
8473 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8474 [Eric A. Young]
8475
8476 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8477 bytes sent in the client random.
8478 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
8479
