5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
8 the "no-shared" Configure option.
9 [Matt Caswell]
10
11 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
12 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
13 algorithms.
14 [Matt Caswell]
15
16 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
17 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
18 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
19 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
20 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
21 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
22 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
23 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
24 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
25 [Matt Caswell]
26
27 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
28 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
29 enabled with '--debug' builds.
30 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
31
32 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
33 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
34 these have been added.
35 [Matt Caswell]
36
37 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
38 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
39 functions for managing these have been added.
40 [Richard Levitte]
41
42 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
43 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
44 these have been added.
45 [Matt Caswell]
46
47 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
48 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
49 have been added.
50 [Matt Caswell]
51
52 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
53 [Matt Caswell]
54
55 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
56 [Richard Levitte]
57
58 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
59 it is always safe to #include a header now.
60 [Rich Salz]
61
62 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
63 [Richard Levitte]
64
65 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
66 [Rich Salz]
67
68 *) Add support for HKDF.
69 [Alessandro Ghedini]
70
71 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
72 [Bill Cox]
73
74 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
75 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
76 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
77 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
78 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
79 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
80 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
81 [Matt Caswell]
82
83 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
84 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
85 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
86 [Catriona Lucey]
87
88 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
89 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
90 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
91 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
92 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
93 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
94 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
95
96 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
97 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
98 [Todd Short]
99
100 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
101 [Todd Short]
102
103 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
104 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
105 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
106 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
107 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
108 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
109 default cipherlist.
110 [Emilia Käsper]
111
112 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
113 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
114 [Rich Salz]
115
116 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
117 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
118 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
119 [Matt Caswell]
120
121 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
122 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
123 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
124 implemented by other servers.
125 [Emilia Käsper]
126
127 *) Add X25519 support.
128 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
129 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
130 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
131 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
132 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
133 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
134 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
135 and uses X25519(29).
136
137 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
138 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
139 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
140 are NOT supported.
141 [Steve Henson]
142
143 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
144 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
145 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
146 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
147 seed, even if the seed is configured.
148
149 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
150 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
151 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
152 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
153 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
154 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
155 that of a valid user.
156 [Emilia Käsper]
157
158 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
159 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
160 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
161 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
162
163 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
164 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
165
166 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
167 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
168 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
169 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
170
171 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
172 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
173 irrelevant.
174 [Richard Levitte]
175
176 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
177 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
178 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
179 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
180 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
181 of how OpenSSL was configured.
182
183 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
184 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
185 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
186 [Richard Levitte]
187
188 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
189 [Rich Salz]
190
191 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
192 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
193 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
194 removed.
195 [Richard Levitte]
196
197 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
198 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
199 old #define's might need to be updated.
200 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
201
202 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
203 [Rich Salz]
204
205 *) New "unified" build system
206
207 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
208 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
209
210 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
211 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
212 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
213
214 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
215 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
216 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
217 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
218 descrip.mms.tmpl.
219
220 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
221 [Richard Levitte]
222
223 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
224 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
225 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
226 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
227 [Matt Caswell]
228
229 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
230 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
231
232 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
233 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
234 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
235 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
236 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
237 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
238 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
239 have been adapted accordingly.
240 [Richard Levitte]
241
242 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
243 the leading 0-byte.
244 [Emilia Käsper]
245
246 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
247 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
248 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
249 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
250 [Emilia Käsper]
251
252 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
253 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
254 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
255 'unsigned char*'.
256 [Emilia Käsper]
257
258 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
259 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
260 [Emilia Käsper]
261
262 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
263 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
264 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
265 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
266 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
267 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
268 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
269
270 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
271 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
272
273 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
274 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
275 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
276 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
277 Text::Template.
278
279 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
280 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
281 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
282 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
283 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
284 %target).
285 [Richard Levitte]
286
287 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
288 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
289 straightforward and less interdependent.
290
291 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
292 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
293 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
294
295 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
296 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
297 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
298 installed.
299 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
300 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
301 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
302 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
303
304 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
305 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
306 [Richard Levitte]
307
308 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
309 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
310 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
311 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
312 is present).
313 [Matt Caswell]
314
315 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
316 configuring.
317 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
318
319 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
320 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
321 before trying to build now.*
322 [Rich Salz]
323
324 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
325 has changed.
326 [Rich Salz]
327
328 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
329
330 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
331 the application's responsibility. The application provides
332 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
333 used to authenticate the peer.
334
335 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
336 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
337 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
338 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
339 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
340 [Viktor Dukhovni]
341
342 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
343 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
344 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
345 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
346 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
347 or the 1.1.0 releases.
348
349 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
350 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
351 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
352 support for the deprecated features from the library and
353 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
354 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
355 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
356 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
357 version.
358
359 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
360 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
361 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
362 compile with later releases.
363
364 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
365 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
366 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
367 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
368 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
369 [Viktor Dukhovni]
370
371 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
372 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
373 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
374 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
375 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
376 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
377 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
378 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
379 [Kurt Roeckx]
380
381 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
382 [Andy Polyakov]
383
384 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
385 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
386 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
387 ECDSA_SIG format.
388
389 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
390 include the ec.h header file instead.
391 [Steve Henson]
392
393 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
394 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
395 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
396 [Kurt Roeckx]
397
398 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
399 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
400 were added:
401
402 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
403 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
404
405 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
406 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
407 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
408
409 Additional changes:
410 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
411 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
412 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
413 an already created structure.
414 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
415 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
416 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
417 for deprecated builds.
418 [Richard Levitte]
419
420 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
421 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
422 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
423 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
424 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
425 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
426 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
427 [Matt Caswell]
428
429 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
430 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
431 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
432 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
433 [Kurt Roeckx]
434
435 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
436 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
437 [Kurt Roeckx]
438
439 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
440 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
441 [Kurt Roeckx]
442
443 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
444 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
445 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
446 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
447 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
448 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
449 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
450 also been removed.
451 [Matt Caswell]
452
453 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
454 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
455 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
456 [Rich Salz]
457
458 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
459 [Rich Salz]
460
461 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
462 sureware and ubsec.
463 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
464
465 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
466
467 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
468 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
469
470 FOO *x;
471
472 it must be:
473
474 FOO x;
475
476 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
477 set a mandatory field to NULL.
478
479 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
480 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
481 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
482 SEQUENCE OF.
483 [Steve Henson]
484
485 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
486 [Emilia Käsper]
487
488 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
489 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
490 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
491 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
492 [Matt Caswell]
493
494 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
495 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
496 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
497 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
498 [Emilia Käsper]
499
500 *) Fix no-stdio build.
501 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
502 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
503
504 *) New testing framework
505 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
506 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
507 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
508 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
509 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
510 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
511
512 For documentation on our testing modules, do:

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

1041
1042 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1043
1044 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1045 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1046 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1047 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1048 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1049 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1050 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1051 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1052 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1053 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1054 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1055
1056 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1057 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1058 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1059 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1060 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.

1064 [Matt Caswell]
1065
1066 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1067
1068 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1069 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1070 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1071
1072 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1073 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1074 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1075 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1076 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1077 also occur.
1078
1079 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1080 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1081 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1082 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1083 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1084 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1085 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1086 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1087 as command line arguments.
1088
1089 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1090 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1091 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1097 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1098
1099 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1100 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1101 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1102 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1103 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.

1118 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1119 *) DH small subgroups
1120
1121 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1122 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1123 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1124 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1125 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1126 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1127 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1128 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1129 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1130 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1131
1132 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1133 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1134 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1135 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1136 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1137
1138 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1139 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1140 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1141 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1142
1143 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1144 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1154 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1155 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1164 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1165
1166 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1167 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1168 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1169 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1170 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1171 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1172 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1173 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1174 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1175 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1176 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1177 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1185 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1186 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1187 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1188 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1189 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1190 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1191 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

1223
1224 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1225 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1226 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1227 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1228 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1229 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1246 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1247 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1248 field.
1249
1250 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1251 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1252 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1253 client authentication enabled.

1261 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1262 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1263 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1264 time string.
1265
1266 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1267 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1268 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1269 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1270 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification

1326 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1327
1328 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1329
1330 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1331 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1332 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1333 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1334 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1335 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1336 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1337 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1338
1339 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1340 (CVE-2015-0290)
1341 [Matt Caswell]
1342
1343 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1344
1345 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1346 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1347 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1348 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1349 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1350 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1351 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1352 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1353 server.

1359 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1360
1361 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1362 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1363 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1364 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1365 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1366 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1367 (CVE-2015-0286)
1368 [Stephen Henson]
1369
1370 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1371
1372 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1373 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1374 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1375 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1376 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1377 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1378 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1382 [Stephen Henson]
1383
1384 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1385
1386 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1387 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1388 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1389
1390 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1391 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1392 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are

1401 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1402
1403 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

1421
1422 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1423
1424 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1425 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1426 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1427 (CVE-2015-1787)
1428 [Matt Caswell]
1429
1430 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1431
1432 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1433 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1434 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1435 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1436 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1437 SSL_client_methodv23)
1438 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1439 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1440
1441 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1442 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1443 output may be predictable.
1444
1445 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1446 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1447
1448 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1452 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1453
1454 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1455 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1456 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1457 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1458 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1459 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

1524 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1525 RSAZ.
1526 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1527
1528 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1529 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1530 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1531 for TLS encrypt.
1532
1533 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1534 [Andy Polyakov]
1535
1536 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1537 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1538 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1539 [Steve Henson]
1540
1541 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1542 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1543 [Steve Henson]
1544
1545 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1546 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1547 [Steve Henson]
1548
1549 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1550 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1551 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1552 algorithms and include tests cases.
1553 [Steve Henson]
1554
1555 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1556 structure.
1557 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1558
1559 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1560 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1561 [Steve Henson]
1562
1563 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1564 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1565 summary of the connection parameters.
1566 [Steve Henson]
1567
1568 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1569 of connection parameters.
1570 [Steve Henson]
1571
1572 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1573 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1574
1575 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1576 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1577 [Steve Henson]
1578
1579 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1580 [Steve Henson]
1581
1582 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1583 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1584 [Steve Henson]
1585
1586 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1587 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1588 [Steve Henson]
1589
1590 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1591 certificates.
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1595 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1596 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1597 [Steve Henson]
1598
1599 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1600 [Steve Henson]
1601
1602 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1603 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1604 [Steve Henson]
1605
1606 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1607 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1608 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1609 tracing.
1610 [Steve Henson]
1611
1612 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1613 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1614 [Steve Henson]
1615
1616 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1617 OID NID.
1618 [Steve Henson]
1619
1620 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1621 client to OpenSSL.
1622 [Steve Henson]
1623
1624 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1625 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1626 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1627 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1628 [Steve Henson]
1629
1630 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1631 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1632 [Steve Henson]
1633
1634 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1635 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1636 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1637 comparison.
1638 [Steve Henson]
1639
1640 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1641 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1642 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1643 use the certificate.
1644 [Steve Henson]
1645
1646 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1647 [Steve Henson]
1648
1649 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1650 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1651 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1652 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1653 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1654 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1655 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1656
1657 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1658 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1659
1660 [Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1663 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1664 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1665 [Steve Henson]
1666
1667 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1668 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1669 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1670 supported signature algorithms.
1671 [Steve Henson]
1672
1673 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1674 [Steve Henson]
1675
1676 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1677 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1678 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1679 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1680 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1681 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1682 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1683 [Steve Henson]
1684
1685 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1686 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1687 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1688 to have similar checks in it.
1689
1690 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1691 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1692 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1693 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1694 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1695 [Steve Henson]
1696
1697 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1698 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1699 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1700 shared signature algorithms.
1701 [Steve Henson]
1702
1703 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1704 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1705 to support them.
1706 [Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1709 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1710 it couldn't be removed.
1711 [Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1714 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1715 [Steve Henson]
1716
1717 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1718 functions. Add manual page.
1719 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1720
1721 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1722 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1723 a certificate.
1724 [Steve Henson]
1725
1726 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1727 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1728
1729 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1730 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1731 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1732 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1733 utility) or reject.
1734 [Steve Henson]
1735
1736 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1737 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1741 platform support for Linux and Android.
1742 [Andy Polyakov]
1743
1744 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1745 [Andy Polyakov]
1746
1747 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1748 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1749 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1750 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1751 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1755 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1756 the new parameter format automatically.
1757 [Steve Henson]
1758
1759 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1760 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1761 [Steve Henson]
1762
1763 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1764 [Steve Henson]
1765
1766 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1767 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1768 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1769 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1770 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1771 [Steve Henson]
1772
1773 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1774 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1775 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1776 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1777 to set list of supported curves.
1778 [Steve Henson]
1779
1780 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1781 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1782 to print out received values.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1786 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1787 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1788 [Steve Henson]
1789
1790 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1791 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1792 [Steve Henson]
1793
1794 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1795 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1796 [Steve Henson]
1797
1798 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1799 certificates.
1800 [Steve Henson]
1801
1802 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1803 the certificate.
1804 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1805 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1806 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1807
1808 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1809
1810 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1811 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1812
1813 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1814
1815 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1816 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1817 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1818 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1819 (CVE-2014-3571)
1820 [Steve Henson]
1821
1822 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1823 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1824 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1825 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1826 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1827 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1828 (CVE-2015-0206)
1829 [Matt Caswell]
1830
1831 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1832 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1833 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1834 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1835 (CVE-2014-3569)
1836 [Kurt Roeckx]
1837
1838 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1839 ECDH ciphersuites.
1840
1841 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1842 reporting this issue.
1843 (CVE-2014-3572)
1844 [Steve Henson]
1845
1846 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1847 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1848 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1849 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1850 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1851 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1852 (CVE-2015-0204)
1853 [Steve Henson]
1854
1855 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1856 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1857 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1858 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1859 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1860 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1861 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1862 this issue.
1863 (CVE-2015-0205)
1864 [Steve Henson]
1865
1866 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1867 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1868
1869 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1870 and can vary with the CTX.
1871 [Adam Langley]
1872
1873 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1874
1875 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1876 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1877 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1878 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1879 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1880
1881 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1882
1883 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1884 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1885
1886 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1887
1888 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1889 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1890 errors for some broken certificates.
1891
1892 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1893
1894 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1895
1896 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1897 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1898
1899 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1900 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1901 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1902 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1903
1904 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1905 of the OpenSSL core team.
1906
1907 (CVE-2014-8275)
1908 [Steve Henson]
1909
1910 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1911 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1912 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1913 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1914 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1915 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1916 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1917 the OpenSSL core team.
1918 (CVE-2014-3570)
1919 [Andy Polyakov]
1920
1921 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1922 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1923 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1924 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1925 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1926
1927 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1928 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1929 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1930 [Emilia Käsper]
1931
1932 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1933 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1934 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1935 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1936 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1937
1938 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1939 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1940 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1941 [Emilia Käsper]
1942
1943 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1944
1945 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1946
1947 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1948 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1949 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1950 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1951 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1952 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1953 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1954
1955 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1956 (CVE-2014-3513)
1957 [OpenSSL team]
1958
1959 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1960
1961 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1962 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1963 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1964 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1965 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1966 attack.
1967 (CVE-2014-3567)
1968 [Steve Henson]
1969
1970 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1971
1972 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1973 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1974 configured to send them.
1975 (CVE-2014-3568)
1976 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1977
1978 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1979 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1980 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1981 (CVE-2014-3566)
1982 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1983
1984 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1985
1986 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1987 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1988 DigestInfo structures.
1989
1990 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1991
1992 [Steve Henson]
1993
1994 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1995
1996 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1997 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1998 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1999
2000 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2001 Group for discovering this issue.
2002 (CVE-2014-3512)
2003 [Steve Henson]
2004
2005 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2006 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2007 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2008 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2009 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2010
2011 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2012 researching this issue.
2013 (CVE-2014-3511)
2014 [David Benjamin]
2015
2016 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2017 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2018 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2019 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2020
2021 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2022 issue.
2023 (CVE-2014-3510)
2024 [Emilia Käsper]
2025
2026 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2027 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2028 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2029 (CVE-2014-3507)
2030 [Adam Langley]
2031
2032 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2033 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2034 Denial of Service attack.
2035 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2036 (CVE-2014-3506)
2037 [Adam Langley]

2039 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2040 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2041 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2042 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2043 this issue.
2044 (CVE-2014-3505)
2045 [Adam Langley]
2046
2047 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2048 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2049 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2050
2051 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2052 issue.
2053 (CVE-2014-3509)
2054 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2055
2056 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2057 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2058 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2059 Denial of Service attack.
2060
2061 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2062 discovering and researching this issue.
2063 (CVE-2014-5139)
2064 [Steve Henson]
2065
2066 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2067 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2068 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2069 output to the attacker.
2070
2071 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2072 (CVE-2014-3508)
2073 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2074
2075 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2076 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2077 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2078 [Bodo Moeller]
2079
2080 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2081
2082 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2083 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2084 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2085
2086 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2087 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2088 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2089
2090 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2091 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2092 in a DoS attack.
2093
2094 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2095 (CVE-2014-0221)
2096 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2099 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2100 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2101 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2102
2103 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2104 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2105
2106 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2107 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2108
2109 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2110 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2111 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2114 compilation flags.
2115 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2116
2117 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2118 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2119 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2120
2121 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2122 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2123
2124 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2125
2126 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2127 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2128 server.
2129
2130 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2131 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2132 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2133 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2134
2135 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2136 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2137 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2138 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2139
2140 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2141 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2142 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2143
2144 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2145
2146 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2147 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2148 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2149 is at least 512 bytes long.
2150
2151 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2152
2153 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2154
2155 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2156 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2157 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2158 (CVE-2013-4353)
2159
2160 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2161 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2162 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2166 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2167 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2168 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2169 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2170 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2171 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2172
2173 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2174
2175 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2176 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2177 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2178
2179 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2180
2181 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2182
2183 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2184 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2185 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2186
2187 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2188 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2189 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2190 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2191 (CVE-2013-0169)
2192 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2195 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2196 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2197 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2198 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2199 (CVE-2012-2686)
2200 [Adam Langley]
2201
2202 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2203 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2207 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2208
2209 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2210 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2211 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2212 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2213 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2214
2215 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2216 [Steve Henson]
2217
2218 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2219 if renegotiating.
2220 [Steve Henson]
2221
2222 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2223
2224 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2225 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2226
2227 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2228 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2229 (CVE-2012-2333)
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2233 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2234 [Steve Henson]
2235
2236 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2237 approved.
2238 [Steve Henson]
2239
2240 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2241
2242 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2243 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2244 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2245 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2246 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2247 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2248 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2249 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2250 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2251 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2255 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2256 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2257 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2258 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2259 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2260 client side.
2261 [Andy Polyakov]
2262
2263 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2264
2265 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2266 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2267 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2268
2269 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2270 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2271 (CVE-2012-2110)
2272 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2273
2274 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2275 [Adam Langley]
2276
2277 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2278 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2279
2280 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2281 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2282 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2283 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2284 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2285 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2286 Most broken servers should now work.
2287 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2288 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2292 [Andy Polyakov]
2293
2294 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2295
2296 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2297 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2298 [Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2301 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2302 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2303 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2304 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2305 [Steve Henson]
2306
2307 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2308 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2309 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2310 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2311 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2315 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2316
2317 *) Add support for SCTP.
2318 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2319
2320 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2321 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2322
2323 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2324
2325 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2326 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2327 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2328 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2329 - s390x: z196 support;
2330 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2331
2332 [Andy Polyakov]
2333
2334 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2335 (removal of unnecessary code)
2336 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2337
2338 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2339 [Eric Rescorla]
2340
2341 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2342 [Eric Rescorla]
2343
2344 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2345 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2346 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2347 by Google.
2348 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2349
2350 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2351 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2352 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2353 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2354 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2355
2356 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2357 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2358 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2359
2360 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2361 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2362 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2363
2364 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2365 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2366 implementations).
2367 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2368
2369 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2370 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2371 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2375 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2376 particular PSS.
2377 [Steve Henson]
2378
2379 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2380 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2381 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2385 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2386 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2387 the appropriate parameters.
2388 [Steve Henson]
2389
2390 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2391 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2392 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2393 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2394 against a number of sample certificates.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2398 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2399
2400 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2401 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2402
2403 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2404 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2405 parameters r, s.
2406 [Steve Henson]
2407
2408 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2409 RFC3211.
2410 [Steve Henson]
2411
2412 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2413 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2414 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2415 password based CMS).
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) Session-handling fixes:
2419 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2420 but also support Session Tickets.
2421 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2422 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2423 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2424 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2425 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2426 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2427
2428 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2429 [Bodo Moeller]
2430
2431 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2432
2433 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2434 [Andy Polyakov]
2435
2436 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2437 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2438 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2439 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2440 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2441 [Steve Henson]
2442
2443 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2444 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2448 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2449 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2450 [Steve Henson]
2451
2452 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2453 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2454 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2455 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2459 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2460 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2461 [Steve Henson]
2462
2463 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2464 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2465
2466 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2470 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2477 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2478 [Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2481 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2482 [Steve Henson]
2483
2484 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2488 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2489 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2490 [Steve Henson]
2491
2492 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2493 [Steve Henson]
2494
2495 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2499 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2500 [Steve Henson]
2501
2502 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2503 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2504 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2505 [Steve Henson]
2506
2507 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2508 [Steve Henson]
2509
2510 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2511 and enable MD5.
2512 [Steve Henson]
2513
2514 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2515 FIPS modules versions.
2516 [Steve Henson]
2517
2518 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2519 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2520 until after the certificate request message is received.
2521 [Steve Henson]
2522
2523 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2524 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2525 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2526 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2527 [Steve Henson]
2528
2529 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2530 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2531 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2532 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2533 [Steve Henson]
2534
2535 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2536 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2537 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2538 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2539 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2540 and version checking.
2541 [Steve Henson]
2542
2543 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2544 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2545 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2546 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2547 [Steve Henson]
2548
2549 *) Add SRP support.
2550 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2551
2552 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2556 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2557 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2558
2559 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2560 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2561 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2562 [Steve Henson]
2563
2564 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2565 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2566
2567 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2568 a few changes are required:
2569
2570 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2571 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2572 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2573 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2574 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2575 [Steve Henson]
2576
2577 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2578
2579 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2580 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2581 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2582 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2583 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2584 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2585 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2586 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2587 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2588 [Steve Henson]
2589
2590 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2591 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2592 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2596
2597 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2598 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2599 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2600 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2601 [Antonio Martin]
2602
2603 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2604
2605 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2606 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2607 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2608 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2609 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2610 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2611 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2612 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2613 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2614 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2615 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2616 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2617 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2618
2619 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2620 (CVE-2011-4576)
2621 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2622
2623 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2624 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2625 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2626 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2627
2628 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2629 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2630
2631 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2632 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2633 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2634 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2635
2636 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2637 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2638
2639 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2640 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2641
2642 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2643 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2644
2645 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2646 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2647 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2648
2649 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2650 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2651 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2652
2653 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2654 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2655 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2656 the last update always remained unused).
2657 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2658
2659 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2660 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2661
2662 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2663
2664 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2665 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2666 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2667
2668 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2669 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2670 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2671
2672 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2673 [Bodo Moeller]
2674
2675 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2676 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2677 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2681 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2682
2683 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2684
2685 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2686
2687 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2688
2689 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2690 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2691
2692 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2693 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2694 ambiguous.
2695 [Steve Henson]
2696
2697 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2698
2699 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2700 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2701 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2705 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2706 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2707 [Ben Laurie]
2708
2709 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2710
2711 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2712 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2713 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2714 [Steve Henson]
2715
2716 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2717 a DLL.
2718 [Steve Henson]
2719
2720 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2721
2722 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2723 (CVE-2010-1633)
2724 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2725
2726 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2727
2728 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2729 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2730 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2731 [Steve Henson]
2732
2733 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2734 [Steve Henson]
2735
2736 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2737 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2738 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2739
2740 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2741 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2742 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2743 [Steve Henson]
2744
2745 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2746 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2747 [Steve Henson]
2748
2749 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2750 some responders need this.
2751 [Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2754 correctly.
2755 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2756
2757 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2758 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2759 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2760 [Steve Henson]
2761
2762 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2763 [Steve Henson]
2764
2765 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2766 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2767 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2768 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2769 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2770 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2771 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2772 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2773 [Steve Henson]
2774
2775 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2776 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2777 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2778 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2779
2780 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2781 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2782
2783 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2784 be used on C++.
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2788 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2789 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2790 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2791 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2792 attempting to work them out.
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2796 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2797 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2798 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2799 [Steve Henson]
2800
2801 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2802 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2803 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2804 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2805 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2806 [Steve Henson]
2807
2808 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2809 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2810 you can do:
2811
2812 openssl sha256 foo
2813
2814 as well as:
2815
2816 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2817
2818 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2819
2820 [Steve Henson]
2821
2822 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2823 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2824
2825 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2826 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2827
2828 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2829 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2830 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2831 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2832 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2836 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2837 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2838 [Steve Henson]
2839
2840 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2841 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2842 [Steve Henson]
2843
2844 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2845 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2846
2847 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2848 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2849 [Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2852 [Ben Laurie]
2853
2854 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2855 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2856 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2857 CONF_VALUE.
2858 [Ben Laurie]
2859
2860 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2861 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2862 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2863 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2864 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2865 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2869 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2870
2871 This work was sponsored by Google.
2872 [Steve Henson]
2873
2874 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2875 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2876 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2877 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2878 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2879 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2880 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2881 default.
2882
2883 This work was sponsored by Google.
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2887
2888 This work was sponsored by Google.
2889 [Steve Henson]
2890
2891 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2892 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2893 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2894 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2895
2896 This work was sponsored by Google.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2900 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2901 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2902 CRL functionality in future.
2903
2904 This work was sponsored by Google.
2905 [Steve Henson]
2906
2907 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2908
2909 This work was sponsored by Google.
2910 [Steve Henson]
2911
2912 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2913 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2914
2915 This work was sponsored by Google.
2916 [Steve Henson]
2917
2918 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2919 and URI types are currently supported.
2920
2921 This work was sponsored by Google.
2922 [Steve Henson]
2923
2924 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2925 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2926 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2927 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2928 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2929 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2930 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2931 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2932
2933 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2934 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2935 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2936
2937 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2938 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2939 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2940 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2941
2942 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2943 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2944 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2945 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2946 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2947 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2948 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2949 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2950 of &errno.)
2951 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2952
2953 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2954 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2955 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2956
2957 This work was sponsored by Google.
2958 [Steve Henson]
2959
2960 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2961 [Ben Laurie]
2962
2963 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2964 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2965 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2966 [Ben Laurie]
2967
2968 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2969 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2970 [Nick Mathewson]
2971
2972 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2973 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2974 [Ben Laurie]
2975
2976 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2977 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2978 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2979 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2980 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2981 content types and variants.
2982 [Steve Henson]
2983
2984 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2985 [Steve Henson]
2986
2987 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2988 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2989 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2990 files from the associated perl scripts.
2991 [Steve Henson]
2992
2993 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2994 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2995 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2996
2997 *) s390x assembler pack.
2998 [Andy Polyakov]
2999
3000 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3001 "family."
3002 [Andy Polyakov]
3003
3004 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3005 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3006 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3007 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3008 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3009 to use. For example, specify an option
3010
3011 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3012
3013 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3014 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3015 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3016 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3017 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3018 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3019
3020 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3021 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3022 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3023 return non-zero for success.
3024
3025 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3026 by using
3027
3028 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3029 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3030
3031 where
3032
3033 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3034 void *arg;
3035
3036 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3037 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3038 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3039 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3040 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3041 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3042 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3043 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3044 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3045
3046 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3047 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3048 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3049 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3050 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3051 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3052
3053 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3054 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3055 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3056 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3057 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3058 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3059
3060 [Bodo Moeller]
3061
3062 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3063 MAC.
3064
3065 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3066
3067 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3068 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3069 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3070 supported.
3071
3072 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3073 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3074 SSL_SESSION.
3075
3076 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3077 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3078 with no application modification.
3079
3080 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3081 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3082
3083 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3084 or server extensions to be examined.
3085
3086 This work was sponsored by Google.
3087 [Steve Henson]
3088
3089 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3090 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3091 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3092
3093 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3094 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3095 ciphersuite support.
3096 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3099 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3100 to output in BER and PEM format.
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3104 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3105 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3106 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3107 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3111 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3112 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3113 utility.
3114 [Steve Henson]
3115
3116 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3117 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3118 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3119 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3120 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3121 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3122 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3123 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3124 enabled again.
3125
3126 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3127 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3128 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3129 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3130
3131 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3132 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3133 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3134 the default order.
3135 [Bodo Moeller]
3136
3137 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3138 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3139 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3140 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3141 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3142 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3143 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3144 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3145 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3146
3147 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3148 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3149 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3150 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3151 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3152 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3153 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3154 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3155 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3156 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3157 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3158 kinds of kludges.
3159
3160 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3161 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3162 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3163
3164 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3165 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3166 "CAMELLIA256".
3167 [Bodo Moeller]
3168
3169 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3170 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3171 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3172 [Nils Larsch]
3173
3174 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3175 it yet and it is largely untested.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3179 [Nils Larsch]
3180
3181 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3182 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3183 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3187 [Andy Polyakov]
3188
3189 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3190 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3191 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3192 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3196 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3197 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3198 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3199 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3203 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3204 [Cryptocom]
3205
3206 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3207 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3208 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3209 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3210 [Steve Henson]
3211
3212 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3213 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3214 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3215 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3216 [Steve Henson]
3217
3218 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3219 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3223 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3224 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3225 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3226 [Steve Henson]
3227
3228 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3229 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3230 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3234 utility.
3235 [Steve Henson]
3236
3237 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3238 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3239 [Steve Henson]
3240
3241 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3242 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3243 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3244 if necessary.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3248 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3249 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3253 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3254 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3255 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3259 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3260 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3261 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3262 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3263 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3264 [Douglas Stebila]
3265
3266 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3267 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3268 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3269 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3270 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3271
3272 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3273 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3274 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3275 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3276 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3277 protocol).
3278
3279 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3280 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3281 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3282 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3283
3284 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3285 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3286 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3287 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3288 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3289
3290 aECDH - ECDH cert
3291 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3292 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3293
3294 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3295 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3296
3297 [Bodo Moeller]
3298
3299 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3300 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3304 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3308 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3309 functional reference processing.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3313 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3314 process.
3315 [Steve Henson]
3316
3317 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3318 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3319 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3323 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3324 application to support multiple signers.
3325 [Steve Henson]
3326
3327 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3328 digest MAC.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3332 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3333 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3334 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3335 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3339 new API.
3340 [Steve Henson]
3341
3342 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3343 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3344 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3345 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3346 a no op.
3347 [Steve Henson]
3348
3349 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3350 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3351 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3352 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3353 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3354 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3355 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3356 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3360 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3361 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3362 between digests and public key types.
3363 [Steve Henson]
3364
3365 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3366 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3367 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3368 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3369 [Steve Henson]
3370
3371 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3372 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3373 key ASN1 method.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3377 [Steve Henson]
3378
3379 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3380 pkeyutl.
3381 [Steve Henson]
3382
3383 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3384 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3385 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3386 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3387 pkey, genpkey.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) BeOS support.
3391 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3392
3393 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3394 manual pages.
3395 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3396
3397 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3398 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3399 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3400 functionality for RSA.
3401 [Steve Henson]
3402
3403 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3404 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3405 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3406 [Steve Henson]
3407
3408 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3409 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3410 [Steve Henson]
3411
3412 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3413 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3414 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3415 [Steve Henson]
3416
3417 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3418 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3419 [Douglas Stebila]
3420
3421 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3422 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3423 [Steve Henson]
3424
3425 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3426 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3427 type.
3428 [Steve Henson]
3429
3430 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3431 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3432 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3433 structure.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3437 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3438 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3439 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3440 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3441 of public and private key structures.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3445 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3446 [Douglas Stebila]
3447
3448 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3449 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3450 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3451
3452 New ciphersuites:
3453 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3454 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3455
3456 New functions:
3457 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3458 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3459 SSL_get_psk_identity
3460 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3461
3462 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3463
3464 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3465 and response verification functionality.
3466 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3467
3468 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3469 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3470 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3471 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3472 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3473 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3474 server_name extension.
3475
3476 New functions (subject to change):
3477
3478 SSL_get_servername()
3479 SSL_get_servername_type()
3480 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3481
3482 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3483
3484 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3485 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3486 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG

3488 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3489
3490 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3491
3492 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3493 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3494 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3495 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3496 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3497 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3498 option.
3499
3500 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3501
3502 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3503 [Andy Polyakov]
3504
3505 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3506 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3507 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3508 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3509 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3510 [Andy Polyakov]
3511
3512 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3513 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3514 macro.
3515 [Bodo Moeller]
3516
3517 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3518 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3519 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3520 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3521 [Andy Polyakov]
3522
3523 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3524 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3525 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3526 using the maximum available value.
3527 [Steve Henson]
3528
3529 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3530 in addition to the text details.
3531 [Bodo Moeller]
3532
3533 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3534 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3535 handle several customised structures at all.
3536 [Steve Henson]
3537
3538 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3539 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3540 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3544 [Steve Henson]
3545
3546 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3547 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3548 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3549 [Steve Henson]
3550
3551 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3552 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3553 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3554 [Nils Larsch]
3555
3556 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3557 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3558 all fields.
3559 [Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3562 [Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3565 [NTT]
3566
3567 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3568
3569 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3570 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3571 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3572 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3573 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3574 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3575 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3576 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3577
3578 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3579 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3580 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3581
3582 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3583
3584 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3585 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3586
3587 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3588 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3589 [Bodo Moeller]
3590
3591 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3592 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3593 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3597 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3598 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3599 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3600 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3601 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3602 [Steve Henson]
3603
3604 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3605 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3606 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3607 [Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3610 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3611 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3612 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3613 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3614 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3615 CVE-2009-4355.
3616 [Steve Henson]
3617
3618 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3619 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3620 [Bodo Moeller]
3621
3622 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3623 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3624 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3625 [Steve Henson]
3626
3627 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3628 [Steve Henson]
3629
3630 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3631 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3632 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3633 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3634 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3635 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3636 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3637 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3638 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3639 [Steve Henson]
3640
3641 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3642 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3643 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3644 [Steve Henson]
3645
3646 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3647 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3648 [Steve Henson]
3649
3650 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3651 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3652 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3653 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3654 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3655 know what you are doing.
3656 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3657
3658 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3659 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3660 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3661 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3662 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3663 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3664 the handshake.
3665 [Steve Henson]
3666
3667 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3668 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3669 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3670 correctly.
3671 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3672
3673 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3674 warnings in other configurations.
3675 [Steve Henson]
3676
3677 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3678 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3679 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3680 systems need.
3681 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3682
3683 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3684 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3685 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3686
3687 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3688 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3689 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3690 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3691 [Steve Henson]
3692
3693 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3694 and restored.
3695 [Steve Henson]
3696
3697 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3698 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3699 clash.
3700 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3701
3702 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3703 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3704 other than a simple chain.
3705 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3706
3707 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3708 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3709 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3710 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3711 [Steve Henson]
3712
3713 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3714 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3715 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3716 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3717 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3718 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3719 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3720 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3721 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3722
3723 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3724 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3725 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3726 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3727 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3728 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3729 (CVE-2009-1377)
3730 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3731
3732 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3733 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3734 [Daniel Mentz]
3735
3736 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3737 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3738
3739 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3740 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3741
3742 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3743
3744 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3745 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3746 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3747 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3748 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3749 you're doing.
3750 [Ben Laurie]
3751
3752 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3753
3754 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3755 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3756 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3757 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3758
3759 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3760 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3761 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3762 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3763
3764 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3765 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3766 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3770 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3771 level.
3772 [Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3775 to handle some structures.
3776 [Steve Henson]
3777
3778 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3779 for a '\n'
3780 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3781
3782 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3783 [Matthieu Herrb]
3784
3785 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3786 [Steve Henson]
3787
3788 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3789 [Steve Henson]
3790
3791 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3792 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3793 chosen compiler.
3794 [Ben Laurie]
3795
3796 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3797
3798 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3799 (CVE-2008-5077).
3800 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3801
3802 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3803 [Ben Laurie]
3804
3805 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3806 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3807 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3808 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3809
3810 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3811 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3812
3813 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3814 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3815 [Bodo Moeller]
3816
3817 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3818 s_client and s_server.
3819 [Ben Laurie]
3820
3821 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3822 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3823
3824 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3825 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3826
3827 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3828 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3829 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3830 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3831 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3832 [Bodo Moeller]
3833
3834 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3835
3836 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3837 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3838 [PR #1679]
3839
3840 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3841 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3842 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3843
3844 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3845 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3846 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3847 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3848
3849 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3850 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3851
3852 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3853
3854 *) Various precautionary measures:
3855
3856 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3857
3858 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3859 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3860 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3861
3862 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3863 outside the expected range.
3864
3865 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3866 builds.
3867
3868 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3869
3870 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3871 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3872 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3873
3874 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3875 [Steve Henson]
3876
3877 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3878 [Huang Ying]
3879
3880 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3881
3882 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3883 [Steve Henson]
3884
3885 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3886 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3887 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3888
3889 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3890 [Steve Henson]
3891
3892 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3893 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3894 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3895 files.
3896 [Steve Henson]
3897
3898 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3899
3900 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3901 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3902 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3903 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3904
3905 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3906 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3907 [Joe Orton]
3908
3909 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3910
3911 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3912 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3913 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3914
3915 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3916
3917 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3918 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3919 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3920 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3921 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3922
3923 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3924 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3925 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3926 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3927 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3928 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3929 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3930
3931 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3932
3933 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3934 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3935 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3936 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3937 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3938
3939 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3940 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3941
3942 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3943 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3944 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3945 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3946 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3947
3948 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3949
3950 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3951 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3952 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3953 sets may exist with different names.
3954 [Steve Henson]
3955
3956 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3957 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3958 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3959 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3960 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3961 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3962 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3963 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3964 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3965 implementation.
3966 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3967
3968 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3969 implemention in the following ways:
3970
3971 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3972 hard coded.
3973
3974 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3975 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3976 ignored for embedded content.
3977
3978 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3979 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3980 [Steve Henson]
3981
3982 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3983 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3984 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3985 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3986
3987 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3988 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3992 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3996 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3997 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3998 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3999 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4000 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4001 data.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4005 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4006 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4007
4008 *) Netware support:
4009
4010 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4011 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4012 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4013 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4014 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4015 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4016 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4017 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4018 platform
4019 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4020 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4021 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4022 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4023 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4024 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4025 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4026
4027 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4028 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4029 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4030 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4031 to s_client and s_server.
4032 [Steve Henson]
4033
4034 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4035
4036 *) Fix various bugs:
4037 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4038 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4039 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4040 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4041 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4042
4043 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4044
4045 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4046 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4047 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4048 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4049 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4050 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4051 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4052 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4053 [Andy Polyakov]
4054
4055 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4056 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4057 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4058 Steve Henson]
4059
4060 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4061 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4062 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4063 supported.
4064
4065 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4066 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4067 SSL_SESSION.
4068
4069 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4070 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4071 with no application modification.
4072
4073 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4074 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4075
4076 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4077 or server extensions to be examined.
4078
4079 This work was sponsored by Google.
4080 [Steve Henson]
4081
4082 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4083 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4084 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4085 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4086 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4087 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4088 server_name extension.
4089
4090 New functions (subject to change):
4091
4092 SSL_get_servername()
4093 SSL_get_servername_type()
4094 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4095
4096 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4097
4098 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4099 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4100 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4101 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4102 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4103
4104 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4105
4106 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4107 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4108 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4109 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4110 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4111 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4112 option.
4113
4114 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4117 [Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4120 [Andy Polyakov]
4121
4122 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4123 (which previously caused an internal error).
4124 [Bodo Moeller]
4125
4126 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4127 [Ben Laurie]
4128
4129 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4130 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4131
4132 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4133 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4134 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4135
4136 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4137 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4138 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4139 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4140
4141 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4142 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4143 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4144 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4145
4146 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4147 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4148 information. For detailed background information, see
4149 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4150 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4151 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4152 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4153 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4154 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4155 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4156 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4157 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4158 remove a conditional branch.
4159
4160 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4161 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4162 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4163 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4164 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4165 remains as a deprecated alias.
4166
4167 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4168 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4169 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4170 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4171
4172 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4173 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4174 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4175 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4176 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4177 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4178 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4179 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4180
4181 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4182
4183 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4184 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4185 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4186 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4187 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4188 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4189 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4190 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4191 in a different context.
4192 [Bodo Moeller]
4193
4194 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4195 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4196 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4197 [Bodo Moeller]
4198
4199 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4200 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4201 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4202
4203 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4204
4205 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4206 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4207 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4208 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4209 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4210 [Victor Duchovni]
4211
4212 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4213 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4214 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4215 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4216 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4217 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4218 [Bodo Moeller]
4219
4220 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4221 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4222 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4223 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4224 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4225 [Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4228 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4229
4230 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4231 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4232 Improve header file function name parsing.
4233 [Steve Henson]
4234
4235 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4236 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4237 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4238
4239 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4240
4241 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4242 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4243 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4244
4245 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4246 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4247
4248 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4249 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4250
4251 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4252 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4253 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4254
4255 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4256 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4257 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4258 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4259 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4260 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4261 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4262 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4263 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4264
4265 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4266 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4267 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4268 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4269 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4270
4271 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4272 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4273 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4274 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4275 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4276 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4277 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4278 multiple values to extend the available space.
4279
4280 [Bodo Moeller]
4281
4282 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4283
4284 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4285 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4286
4287 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4288 [Ben Laurie]
4289
4290 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4291 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4292 undesirable limitations.
4293 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4294
4295 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4296 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4297 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4298 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4299 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4300 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4301 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4302 [Bodo Moeller]
4303
4304 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4305
4306 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4307 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4308 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4309
4310 The latter two were purportedly from
4311 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4312 appear there.
4313
4314 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4315 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4316 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4317 [Bodo Moeller]
4318
4319 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4320 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4321 [Bodo Moeller]
4322
4323 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4324 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4325 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4326 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4327
4328 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4329 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4330 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4331 [NTT]
4332
4333 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4334 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4335 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4336 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4337 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4338 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4339 [Steve Henson]
4340
4341 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4342
4343 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4344 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4348 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4349
4350 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4351 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4352 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4353 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4354 [Douglas Stebila]
4355
4356 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4357 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4361 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4362 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4363 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4364 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4365 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4366 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4367 can't be loaded.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4371 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4372 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4373 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4377 under VC++ build system.
4378 [Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4381 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4382 [Richard Levitte]
4383
4384 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4385
4386 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4387 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4388 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4389 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4390 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4391
4392 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4393 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4394 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4395
4396 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4397 [Steve Henson]
4398
4399 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4400 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4401 [Nils Larsch]
4402
4403 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4404 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4405
4406 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4407 [Nick Mathewson]
4408
4409 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4410 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4411
4412 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4413 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4414 [Steve Henson]
4415
4416 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4417 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4418 smime utility.
4419 [Steve Henson]
4420
4421 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4422
4423 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4424 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4425
4426 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4427 [Richard Levitte]
4428
4429 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4430 key into the same file any more.
4431 [Richard Levitte]
4432
4433 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4434 [Andy Polyakov]
4435
4436 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4437 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4438
4439 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4440 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4441 [Richard Levitte]
4442
4443 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4444 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4445 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4446 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4447 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4448 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4449
4450 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4451 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4452 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4456 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4457 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4458 - add new function for parameter creation
4459 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4460 BN_BLINDING parameters
4461 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4462 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4463 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4464 threads.
4465 [Nils Larsch]
4466
4467 *) Add support for DTLS.
4468 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4469
4470 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4471 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4472 [Walter Goulet]
4473
4474 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4475 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4476 [Nils Larsch]
4477
4478 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4479 the apps/openssl applications.
4480 [Nils Larsch]
4481
4482 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4483 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4484 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4485 [Ben Laurie]
4486
4487 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4488 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4489
4490 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4491 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4492
4493 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4494 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4495 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4496 avoid this algorithm.)
4497
4498 [Bodo Moeller]
4499
4500 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4501 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4502 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4503 [Richard Levitte]
4504
4505 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4506 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4507 [Andy Polyakov]
4508
4509 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4510 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4511 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4512 pod file:
4513
4514 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4515
4516 The blank line is mandatory.
4517
4518 [Steve Henson]
4519
4520 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4521 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4522 sources.
4523 [Steve Henson]
4524
4525 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4526 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4527
4528 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4529 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4530 to support policy checking and print out.
4531 [Steve Henson]
4532
4533 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4534 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4535 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4536 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4537
4538 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4539 [Geoff Thorpe]
4540
4541 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4542 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4543
4544 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4545 implementation contributed by IBM.
4546 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4547
4548 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4549 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4550 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4551 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4552
4553 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4554 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4555
4556 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4557 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4558 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4559 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4560 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4561 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4562 [Steve Henson]
4563
4564 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4565 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4566 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4567 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4568 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4569 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4570 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4571 [Geoff Thorpe]
4572
4573 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4574 [Steve Henson]
4575
4576 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4577 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4578 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4579 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4580 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4581 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4582 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4583 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4584 [Steve Henson]
4585
4586 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4587 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4588 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4589 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4590 [Steve Henson]
4591
4592 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4593 syntax:
4594
4595 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4596 [Steve Henson]
4597
4598 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4599 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4600 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4601 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4602 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4603 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4604 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4605 [Geoff Thorpe]
4606
4607 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4608 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4609 [Geoff Thorpe]
4610
4611 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4612 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4613 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4614 [Steve Henson]
4615
4616 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4617 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4618 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4619 below).
4620 [Geoff Thorpe]
4621
4622 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4623 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4624 [Richard Levitte]
4625
4626 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4627 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4628 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4629 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4630 [Geoff Thorpe]
4631
4632 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4633 initialised value as BN_new().
4634 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4635
4636 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4637 [Steve Henson]
4638
4639 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4640 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4641 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4642 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4643 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4644 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4645 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4646 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4647 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4648 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4649 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4650 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4651 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4652 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4653 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4654
4655 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4656 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4657 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4658 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4659 [Geoff Thorpe]
4660
4661 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4662 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4663 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4664 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4665 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4666 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4667 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4668 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4669 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4670 [Geoff Thorpe]
4671
4672 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4673 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4674 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4675 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4676 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4677 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4678 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4679 [Geoff Thorpe]
4680
4681 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4682 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4683 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4684 these have been updated also.
4685 [Geoff Thorpe]
4686
4687 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4688 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4689 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4690 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4691 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4692 functions.
4693 [Steve Henson]
4694
4695 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4696 structure of type "other".
4697 [Steve Henson]
4698
4699 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4700 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4701 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4702 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4703 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4704 situation in the script.
4705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4706
4707 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4708 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4709 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4710 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4711 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4712 used as premaster secret.
4713 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4714
4715 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4716 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4717 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4718
4719 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4720 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4721
4722 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4723 control of the error stack.
4724 [Richard Levitte]
4725
4726 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4727 [Richard Levitte]
4728
4729 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4730 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4731 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4732 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4733 [Richard Levitte]
4734
4735 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4736 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4737 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4738 [Richard Levitte]
4739
4740 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4741 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4742 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4743 a memory area.
4744 [Richard Levitte]
4745
4746 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4747 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4748 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4749 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4750 [Richard Levitte]
4751
4752 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4753 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4754 the following flags are defined:
4755
4756 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4757 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4758 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4759 number.
4760
4761 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4762 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4763 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4764 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4765 returns zero.
4766 [Richard Levitte]
4767
4768 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4769 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4770 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4771 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4772 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4773 [Richard Levitte]
4774
4775 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4776 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4777 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4778 [Richard Levitte]
4779
4780 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4781 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4782 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4783 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4784 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4785 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4786 [Richard Levitte]
4787
4788 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4789 req and dirName.
4790 [Steve Henson]
4791
4792 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4793 [Steve Henson]
4794
4795 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4796 [Steve Henson]
4797
4798 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4799 [Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4802 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4803 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4804 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4805 default implementation more easily.
4806 [Geoff Thorpe]
4807
4808 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4809 in config files.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4813 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4814 [Richard Levitte]
4815
4816 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4817 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4818 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4819 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4820
4821 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4822 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4823 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4824 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4825 [Steve Henson]
4826
4827 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4828 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4829 to do it.
4830 [Richard Levitte]
4831
4832 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4833 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4834 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4835 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4836 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4837 scalar * generator).
4838 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4839
4840 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4841 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4842 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4843 correctly.
4844 [Steve Henson]
4845
4846 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4847 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4848 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4849 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4850 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4851 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4852 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4853 linker additions, eg;
4854 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4855 [Geoff Thorpe]
4856
4857 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4858 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4859 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4860 [Geoff Thorpe]
4861
4862 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4863 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4864 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4865 via PR#459)
4866 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4867
4868 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4869 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4870 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4871 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4872 [Geoff Thorpe]
4873
4874 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4875 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4876 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4877 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4878 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4879 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4880 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4881 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4882 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4883 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4884
4885 Example for using the new callback interface:
4886
4887 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4888 void *my_arg = ...;
4889 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4890
4891 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4892
4893 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4894 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4895 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4896 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4897 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4898 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4899 */
4900
4901 [Geoff Thorpe]
4902
4903 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4904 available to TLS with the number defined in
4905 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4906 [Richard Levitte]
4907
4908 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4909 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4910
4911 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4912 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4913 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4914 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4915
4916 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4917 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4918
4919 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4920 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4921 well.
4922 [Richard Levitte]
4923
4924 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4925 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4926 [Richard Levitte]
4927
4928 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4929 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4930 and a macro that behave like
4931 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4932
4933 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4934 [Nils Larsch]
4935
4936 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4937 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4938 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4939 if applicable.
4940 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4941
4942 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4943 [Bodo Moeller]
4944
4945 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4946 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4947 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4948 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4949 directory engines/.
4950 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4951 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4952 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4953 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4954 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4955 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4956 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4957 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4958
4959 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4960 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4961 [Richard Levitte]
4962
4963 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4964 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4965
4966 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4967 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4968 files while avoiding the low level API.
4969
4970 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4971 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4972 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4973 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4974
4975 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4976 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4977 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4978 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4979 instead of the low level API.
4980 [Steve Henson]
4981
4982 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4983 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4984 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4985 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4986 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4987 PKCS#7 code.
4988
4989 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4990 down to the template encoder.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4994 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4995 [Bodo Moeller]
4996
4997 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4998 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4999 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5000 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5001
5002 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5003 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5004
5005 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5006 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5007
5008 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5009 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5010 [Bodo Moeller]
5011
5012 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5013 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5014 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5015 [Bodo Moeller]
5016
5017 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5018 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5019
5020 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5021 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5022
5023 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5024 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5025 New EC_METHOD:
5026
5027 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5028
5029 New API functions:
5030
5031 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5032 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5033 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5034 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5035 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5036 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5037
5038 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5039 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5040 enable it).
5041
5042 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5043 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5044 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5045 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5046 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5047 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5048 various internal method names.)
5049
5050 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5051 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5052
5053 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5054 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5055
5056 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5057 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5058
5059 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5060 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5061 methods are undefined.
5062
5063 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5064 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5065
5066 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5067 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5068 length of the modulus.
5069
5070 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5071 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5072
5073 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5074 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5075
5076 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5077 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5078
5079 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5080 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5081 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5082
5083 BN_GF2m_add
5084 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5085 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5086 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5087 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5088 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5089 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5090 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5091 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5092 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5093
5094 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5095 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5096
5097 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5098 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5099 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5100 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5101 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5102 where
5103 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5104 This applies to the following functions:
5105
5106 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5107 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5108 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5109 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5110 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5111 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5112 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5113 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5114 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5115 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5116
5117 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5118
5119 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5120 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5121
5122 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5123
5124 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5125 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5126 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5127 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5128 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5129
5130 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5131 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5132
5133 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5134 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5135 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5136
5137 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5138 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5139
5140 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5141 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5142 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5143 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5144 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5145
5146 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5147 functions
5148 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5149 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5150 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5151 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5152 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5153 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5154 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5155 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5156 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5157 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5158 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5159 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5160
5161 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5162 functions
5163 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5164 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5165 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5166 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5167 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5168
5169 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5170 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5171 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5173
5174 *) Add functions
5175 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5176 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5177 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5178 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5179 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5180 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5181 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5182
5183 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5184 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5185 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5186 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5187 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5188 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5189 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5190 adding different types of curves.
5191 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5192
5193 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5194 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5195 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5196 [Bodo Moeller]
5197
5198 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5199 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5200
5201 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5202 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5203 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5204 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5205
5206 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5207
5208 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5209 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5210
5211 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5212 library. Most notably,
5213 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5214 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5215 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5216 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5217 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5218 extracted before the specific public key;
5219 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5220 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5221
5222 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5223 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5224 function
5225 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5226 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5227 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5228 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5229 accessed via
5230 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5231 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5232 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5233
5234 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5235 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5236 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5237 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5238 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5239 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5240 differing sizes.
5241 [Richard Levitte]
5242
5243 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5244
5245 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5246 sensitive data.
5247 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5248
5249 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5250 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5251 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5252 [Bodo Moeller]
5253
5254 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5255 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5256 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5257 [Victor Duchovni]
5258
5259 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5260 [Steve Henson]
5261
5262 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5263 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5264 [Steve Henson]
5265
5266 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5267 run algorithm test programs.
5268 [Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5271 [Steve Henson]
5272
5273 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5274 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5275 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5276 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5277 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5278 [Bodo Moeller]
5279
5280 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5281 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5282 [Steve Henson]
5283
5284 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5285
5286 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5287 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5288 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5289
5290 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5291 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5292
5293 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5294 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5295
5296 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5297 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5298 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5299
5300 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5301 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5302 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5303 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5304 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5305 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5306 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5307 [Bodo Moeller]
5308
5309 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5310
5311 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5312 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5313
5314 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5315 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5316 undesirable limitations.
5317 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5318
5319 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5320
5321 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5322 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5323 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5324
5325 The latter two were purportedly from
5326 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5327 appear there.
5328
5329 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5330 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5331 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5332 [Bodo Moeller]
5333
5334 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5335 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5336 [Bodo Moeller]
5337
5338 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5339
5340 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5341 module in FIPS mode.
5342 [Steve Henson]
5343
5344 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5345 [Steve Henson]
5346
5347 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5348 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5349 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5350 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5354
5355 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5356 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5357 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5358 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5359 the difference induced by this change.
5360 [Andy Polyakov]
5361
5362 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5363
5364 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5365 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5366 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5367 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5368 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5369
5370 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5371 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5372 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5373
5374 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5375 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5376 [Steve Henson]
5377
5378 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5379 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5380 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5381 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5382 biased k.)
5383 [Bodo Moeller]
5384
5385 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5386 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5387 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5388 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5389 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5390
5391 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5392 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5393 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5394 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5395 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5396 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5397
5398 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5399
5400 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5401 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5402 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5403 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5404 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5405 [Bodo Moeller]
5406
5407 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5408 clients need.
5409 [Steve Henson]
5410
5411 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5412 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5413 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5414 [Steve Henson]
5415
5416 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5417 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5418 structures constant.
5419 [Steve Henson]
5420
5421 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5422
5423 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5424 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5425
5426 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5427 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5428 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5429 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5430 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5431 some needed definitions.
5432 [Steve Henson]
5433
5434 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5435 [Ulf Möller]
5436
5437 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5438 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5439 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5440 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5441 [Richard Levitte]
5442
5443 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5444
5445 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5446 server and client random values. Previously
5447 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5448 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5449
5450 This change has negligible security impact because:
5451
5452 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5453 data.
5454
5455 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5456 handshake.
5457
5458 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5459 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5460 values.
5461
5462 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5463 to our attention.
5464
5465 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5466
5467 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5468 [Ulf Möller]
5469
5470 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5471 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5472 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5473
5474 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5475 [Steve Henson]
5476
5477 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5478 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5479 [Andy Polyakov]
5480
5481 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5482 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5483 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5484
5485 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5486 [Steve Henson]
5487
5488 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5489 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5490 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5491 certificates.
5492 [Steve Henson]
5493
5494 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5495 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5496 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5497 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5498
5499 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5500 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5501 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5502 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5503 been given)
5504 [Richard Levitte]
5505
5506 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5507
5508 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5509 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5510 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5511 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5512 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5513 [Steve Henson]
5514
5515 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5516 [Steve Henson]
5517
5518 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5519 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5520
5521 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5522 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5523 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5524 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5525 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5526 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5527 rather than being initialized to 1.
5528 [Steve Henson]
5529
5530 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5531
5532 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5533 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5534 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5535
5536 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5537 (CVE-2004-0112)
5538 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5539
5540 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5541 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5542 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5543 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5544 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5545 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5546 [Richard Levitte]
5547
5548 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5549 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5550 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5551 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5552 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5553 for these cases.
5554 [Steve Henson]
5555
5556 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5557 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5558 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5559 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5560 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5561 [Steve Henson]
5562
5563 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5564 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5565 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5566 < 0.9.7.
5567 [Steve Henson]
5568
5569 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5570 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5571
5572 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5573 [Steve Henson]
5574
5575 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5576
5577 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5578
5579 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5580 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5581
5582 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5583
5584 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5585 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5586
5587 [Steve Henson]
5588
5589 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5590 exiting on the first error in a request.
5591 [Steve Henson]
5592
5593 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5594 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5595 specifications.
5596 [Steve Henson]
5597
5598 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5599 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5600 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5601 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5602
5603 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5604 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5605 [Richard Levitte]
5606
5607 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5608 blocks during encryption.
5609 [Richard Levitte]
5610
5611 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5612 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5613 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5614 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5615 certain size.
5616 [Steve Henson]
5617
5618 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5619 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5620 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5621 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5622 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5623 parser.
5624 [Steve Henson]
5625
5626 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5627
5628 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5629 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5630 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5631 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5632 [Bodo Moeller]
5633
5634 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5635 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5636 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5637 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5638 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5639
5640 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5641 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5642 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5643 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5644 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5645 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5646 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5647 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5648 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5649 [Bodo Moeller]
5650
5651 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5652 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5653 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5654 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5655 [Geoff Thorpe]
5656
5657 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5658 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5659 [Ulf Moeller]
5660
5661 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5662
5663 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5664 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5665 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5666 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5667 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5668
5669 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5670 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5671 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5672
5673 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5674 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5675 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5676 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5677 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5678
5679 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5680 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5681 used by default when no-err is given.
5682 [Richard Levitte]
5683
5684 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5685 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5686
5687 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5688 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5689 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5690 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5691 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5692
5693 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5694 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5695 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5696 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5697
5698 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5699
5700 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5701
5702 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5703
5704 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5705 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5706 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5707 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5708 root is omitted).
5709 [Steve Henson]
5710
5711 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5712 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5713
5714 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5715 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5719 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5720 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5721 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5722 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5723
5724 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5725 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5726 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5727 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5728 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5729 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5730 followup to PR #377.
5731 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5732
5733 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5734 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5735 [Andy Polyakov]
5736
5737 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5738 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5739 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5740 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5741
5742 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5743
5744 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5745 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5746
5747 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5748 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5749 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5750 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5751 client and server.
5752 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5753 PR #377.
5754 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5755
5756 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5757 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5758 removed entirely.
5759 [Richard Levitte]
5760
5761 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5762 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5763 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5764 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5765 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5766 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5767 of libcrypto.
5768 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5769 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5770 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5771 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5772 have to be made anyway).
5773 [Richard Levitte]
5774
5775 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5776 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5777 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5781 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5782 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5783 [Richard Levitte]
5784
5785 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5786 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5787 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5788
5789 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5790 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5791 edit numbers of the version.
5792 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5793
5794 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5795 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5796 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5797
5798 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5799 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5800
5801 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5802 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5803 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5804
5805 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5806 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5807
5808 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5809 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5810
5811 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5812 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5813
5814 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5815 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5816
5817 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5818 overflows.
5819 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5820
5821 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5822 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5823 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5824
5825 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5826 representations in a platform independent manner.
5827 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5828
5829 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5830 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5831 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5832
5833 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5834 indents.
5835 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5836
5837 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5838 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5839
5840 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5841 full. Fixed.
5842 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5843
5844 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5845 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5846 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5847
5848 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5849 unconditionally).
5850 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5851
5852 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5853 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5854
5855 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5856 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5857
5858 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5859 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5860
5861 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5862 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5863
5864 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5865 CBCParameter.
5866 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5867
5868 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5869 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5870
5871 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5872 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5873
5874 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5875 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5876 exploitable.
5877 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5878
5879 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5880 the 0.9.6 release series:
5881
5882 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5883 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5884 (CVE-2002-0657)
5885 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5886
5887 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5888 [Richard Levitte]
5889
5890 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5891 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5892
5893 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5894 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5895
5896 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5897 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5898 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5899 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5900
5901 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5902 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5903 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5904
5905 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5906 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5907 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5908 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5909
5910 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5911 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5912 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5913 some local tweaks:
5914
5915 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5916 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5917 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5918 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5919 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5920 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5921 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5922 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5923 done
5924
5925 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5926 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
5927 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5928 [Richard Levitte]
5929
5930 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5931 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5932 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5933 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5934 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5935
5936 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5937 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5938
5939 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5940 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5941 [Richard Levitte]
5942
5943 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5944 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5945 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5946 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5947 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5948 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5952 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5953 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5954 [Steve Henson]
5955
5956 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5957 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5958 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5959
5960 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5961 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5962 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5963 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5964 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5965 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5966 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5967 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5968
5969 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5970 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5971 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5972 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5973 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5974 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5975 [Steve Henson]
5976
5977 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5978 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5979 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5980 declaration has been changed from
5981 int (*cb)()
5982 into
5983 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5984 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5985 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5986 has been changed into
5987 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5988
5989 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5990 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5991 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5992
5993 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5994 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5995
5996 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5997 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5998 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5999 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6000 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6001 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6002 always load it have also been added.
6003 [Steve Henson]
6004
6005 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6006 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6007 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6008
6009 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6010
6011 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6012 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6013 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6014
6015 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6016 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6017 command line option can be used to specify an
6018 alternative file.
6019 [Steve Henson]
6020
6021 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6022 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6023 [Steve Henson]
6024
6025 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6026 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6027 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6028 [Steve Henson]
6029
6030 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6031 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6032 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6033 to work with the new engine framework.
6034 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6035
6036 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6037 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6038 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6039 to work with the new engine framework.
6040 [Richard Levitte]
6041
6042 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6043 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6044 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6045
6046 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6047 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6048
6049 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6050 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6051 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6052 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6053 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6054 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6055
6056 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6057 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6058
6059 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6060 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6061
6062 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6063 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6064 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6065 [Ben Laurie]
6066
6067 *) Add new functions
6068 ERR_peek_last_error
6069 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6070 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6071 These are similar to
6072 ERR_peek_error
6073 ERR_peek_error_line
6074 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6075 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6076 still in the error queue.
6077 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6078
6079 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6080 like:
6081 default_algorithms = ALL
6082 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6083 [Steve Henson]
6084
6085 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6086 [Steve Henson]
6087
6088 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6089 [Steve Henson]
6090
6091 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6092 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6093 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6094 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6095
6096 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6097 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6098
6099 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6100 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6101
6102 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6103 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6104 [Bodo Moeller]
6105
6106 *) New functions/macros
6107
6108 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6109 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6110 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6111 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6112
6113 to request calling a callback function
6114
6115 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6116 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6117
6118 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6119 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6120 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6121 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6122 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6123 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6124 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6125 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6126 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6127 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6128
6129 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6130 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6131 [Bodo Moeller]
6132
6133 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6134 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6135 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6136 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6137 the configuration scripts.
6138
6139 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6140 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6141 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6142
6143 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6144 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6145
6146 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6147 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6148 when reusing an existing buffer.
6149 [Bodo Moeller]
6150
6151 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6152 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6153 [Steve Henson]
6154
6155 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6156 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6157 [Ben Laurie]
6158
6159 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6160 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6161 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6162 has the same effect.
6163 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6164
6165 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6166 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6167 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6168 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6169 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6170 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6171 exception.
6172
6173 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6174 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6175 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6176 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6177
6178 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6179 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6180 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6181 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6182
6183 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6184 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6185 won't work.
6186
6187 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6188 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6189 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6190 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6191 default), and then completely removed.
6192 [Richard Levitte]
6193
6194 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6195 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6196 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6197 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6198 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6199 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6200 particular extension is supported.
6201 [Steve Henson]
6202
6203 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6204 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6205 [Steve Henson]
6206
6207 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6208 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6209 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6210 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6211 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6212 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6213 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6214 requires the destination to be valid.
6215
6216 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6217 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6221 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6222 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6223 [Bodo Moeller]
6224
6225 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6226 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6227
6228 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6229 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6230 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6231 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6232 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6233 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6234 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6235 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6236 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6237 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6238 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6239 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6240 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6241 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6242 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6243 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6244 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6245 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6246 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6247 the new code.
6248 [Geoff Thorpe]
6249
6250 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6251 [Steve Henson]
6252
6253 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6254 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6255 become part of libeay.num as well.
6256 [Richard Levitte]
6257
6258 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6259 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6260 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6261 false once a handshake has been completed.
6262 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6263 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6264 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6265 client has followed the request.)
6266 [Bodo Moeller]
6267
6268 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6269 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6270 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6271 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6272
6273 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6274 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6275 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6276 [Bodo Moeller]
6277
6278 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6279 [Steve Henson]
6280
6281 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6282 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6283 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6284 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6285
6286 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6287 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6288 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6289
6290 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6291 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6292 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6293 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6294 [Geoff Thorpe]
6295
6296 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6297 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6298 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6299 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6300 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6301 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6302 [Geoff Thorpe]
6303
6304 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6305 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6306 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6307 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6308 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6309 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6310 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6311 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6312 [Geoff Thorpe]
6313
6314 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6315 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6316 [Geoff Thorpe]
6317
6318 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6319 [Ben Laurie]
6320
6321 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6322 md_data void pointer.
6323 [Ben Laurie]
6324
6325 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6326 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6327 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6328 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6329 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6330 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6331 [Ben Laurie]
6332
6333 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6334 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6335 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6336 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6337 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6338 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6339 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6340 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6341 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6342 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6343 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6344 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6345 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6346 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6347 rather than letting it slide.
6348
6349 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6350 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6351 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6352 [Geoff Thorpe]
6353
6354 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6355 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6356 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6357 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6358 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6359 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6360 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6361 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6362 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6363 [Geoff Thorpe]
6364
6365 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6366 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6367 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6368 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6369 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6370
6371 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6372 [Geoff Thorpe]
6373
6374 *) Add EVP test program.
6375 [Ben Laurie]
6376
6377 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6378 [Ben Laurie]
6379
6380 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6381 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6382 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6383 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6384 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6385 [Steve Henson]
6386
6387 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6388 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6389 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6390 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6391 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6392 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6393 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6394
6395 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6396 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6397 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6398 Usage example:
6399
6400 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6401
6402 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6403 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6404 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6405 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6406 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6407
6408 [Ben Laurie]
6409
6410 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6411 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6412 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6413 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6414 anyway): E.g.,
6415
6416 des_key_schedule ks;
6417
6418 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6419 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6420
6421 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6422 [Ben Laurie]
6423
6424 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6425 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6426 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6427 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6428 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6429 functions prevents this.
6430 [Steve Henson]
6431
6432 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6433 [Ben Laurie]
6434
6435 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6436 correct _ecb suffix.
6437 [Ben Laurie]
6438
6439 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6440 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6441 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6442 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6443 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6444 [Steve Henson]
6445
6446 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6447 [Richard Levitte]
6448
6449 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6450 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6451 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6452 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6453
6454 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6455 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6456
6457 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6458 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6459 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6460 via Richard Levitte]
6461
6462 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6463 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6464 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6465 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6466 [Geoff Thorpe]
6467
6468 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6469 Before:
6470 encrypt
6471 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6472 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6473 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6478 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6479 After:
6480 encrypt
6481 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6482 decrypt
6483 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6484 [Ben Laurie]
6485
6486 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6487 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6488
6489 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6490 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6491 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6492 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6493 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6494 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6495 [Steve Henson]
6496
6497 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6498 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6499 [Richard Levitte]
6500
6501 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6502 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6503 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6504 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6505
6506 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6507 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6508 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6509 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6510 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6511 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6512 callback.
6513 [Richard Levitte]
6514
6515 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6516 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6517 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6518 and interrupts/cancellations.
6519 [Richard Levitte]
6520
6521 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6522 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6526 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6527 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6528
6529 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6530 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6531 kind of callback.
6532 [Richard Levitte]
6533
6534 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6535 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6536 than this minimum value is recommended.
6537 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6538
6539 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6540 that are easily reachable.
6541 [Richard Levitte]
6542
6543 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6544 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6545
6546 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6547
6548 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6549 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6550 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6551 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6555 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6556 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6557 [Steve Henson]
6558
6559 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6560 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6561 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6562 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6563 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6564 internally such as S/MIME.
6565
6566 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6567 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6568 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6569
6570 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6571 applications.
6572 [Steve Henson]
6573
6574 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6575 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6576 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6577 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6578
6579 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6580
6581 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6582
6583 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6584 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6585 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6586 handling.
6587 [Steve Henson]
6588
6589 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6590 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6591 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6592 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6593 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6594 a window system and the like.
6595 [Richard Levitte]
6596
6597 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6598 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6599 [Geoff]
6600
6601 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6602 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6603 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6604 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6605 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6606 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6607 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6608 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6609 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6610 ENGINE structure.
6611 [Geoff]
6612
6613 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6614 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6615 tag cache.
6616 [Steve Henson]
6617
6618 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6619 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6620 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6621 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6622 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6623 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6624 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6625 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6626 [Geoff]
6627
6628 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6629 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6630 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6631 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6632 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6633 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6634 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6635 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6636 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6637 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6638 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6639 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6640 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6641 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6642 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6643 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6644 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6645 [Geoff]
6646
6647 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6648 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6649 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6650 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6651 internal engine_int.h header.
6652 [Geoff]
6653
6654 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6655 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6656 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6657 modify their own ones).
6658 [Geoff]
6659
6660 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6661 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6662 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6663 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6664 later on via ctrl() commands.
6665 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6666 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6667 structural references.
6668 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6669 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6670 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6671 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6672 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6673 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6674 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6675 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6676 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6677 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6678 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6679 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6680 [Geoff]
6681
6682 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6683 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6684 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6685 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6686 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6687 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6688 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6689 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6690 [Bodo Moeller]
6691
6692 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6693 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6694 [Steve Henson]
6695
6696 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6697 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6698 [Steve Henson]
6699
6700 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6701 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6702 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6703 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6704 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6705 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6706 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6707 [Steve Henson]
6708
6709 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6710 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6711 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6712 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6713 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6714
6715 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6716 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6717 generator).
6718 [Bodo Moeller]
6719
6720 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6721
6722 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6723 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6724 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6725
6726 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6727 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6728
6729 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6730 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6731 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6732
6733 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6734 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6735
6736 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6737 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6738
6739 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6740
6741 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6742 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6743 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6744 [Bodo Moeller]
6745
6746 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6747 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6748 [Richard Levitte]
6749
6750 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6751 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6752 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6753 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6754 is 40 of more characters long.
6755 [Steve Henson]
6756
6757 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6758 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6759 pointers.
6760 [Steve Henson]
6761
6762 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6763 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6764 [Bodo Moeller]
6765
6766 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6767 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6768 might.
6769 [Steve Henson]
6770
6771 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6772
6773 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6774 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6775
6776 ASN1 error codes
6777 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6778 ...
6779 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6780 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6781 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6782 ...
6783 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6784 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6785
6786 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6787 [Bodo Moeller]
6788
6789 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6790 suffices.
6791 [Bodo Moeller]
6792
6793 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6794 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6795 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6796 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6797 and
6798 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6799
6800 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6801 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6802
6803 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6804 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6805 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6806 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6807 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6808 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6809
6810 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6811 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6812
6813 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6814 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6815
6816 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6817 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6818
6819 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6820 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6821 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6822 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6823
6824 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6825 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6826
6827 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6828 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6829
6830 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6831 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6832 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6833 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6834 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6835 [Richard Levitte]
6836
6837 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6838 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6839 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6840 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6841 [Steve Henson]
6842
6843 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6844 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6845 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6846 trust settings.
6847 [Steve Henson]
6848
6849 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6850 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6851 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6852 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6853 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6854 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6855 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6856 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6857 ocsp utility.
6858 [Steve Henson]
6859
6860 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6861 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6862 [Steve Henson]
6863
6864 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6865 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6866 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6867 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6868 [Steve Henson]
6869
6870 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6871 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6872 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6873 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6874 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6875 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6876 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6877 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6878 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6879 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6883 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6884 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6885 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6886 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6887 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6888 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6889 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6890
6891 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6892 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6893 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6894 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6895 [Richard Levitte]
6896
6897 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6898 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6899 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6900 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6901 opensslconf.h.
6902 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6903 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6904 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6905 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6906 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6907 what is available.
6908 [Richard Levitte]
6909
6910 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6911 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6912 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6913 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6914 auto incremented.
6915 [Steve Henson]
6916
6917 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6918 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6919 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6920 [Steve Henson]
6921
6922 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6923 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6924 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6925 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6926 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6930 [Steve Henson]
6931
6932 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6933 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6934 option to ocsp utility.
6935 [Steve Henson]
6936
6937 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6938 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6939 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6940 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6941 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6942 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6943 the request is nonce-less.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6947 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6948 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6949 [Bodo Moeller]
6950
6951 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6952 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6953 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6954 [Steve Henson]
6955
6956 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6957 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6958 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6959 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6960 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6962
6963 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6964 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6965 appear to exist.
6966 [Steve Henson]
6967
6968 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6969 additional certificates supplied.
6970 [Steve Henson]
6971
6972 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6973 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6974 signature against.
6975 [Richard Levitte]
6976
6977 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6978 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6979 AES OIDs.
6980
6981 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6982 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6983 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6984 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6985 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6986 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6987 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6988 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6989 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6990
6991 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6992 request to response.
6993 [Steve Henson]
6994
6995 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6996 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6997 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6998 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6999 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7000 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7001 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7002 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7003 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7004 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7005 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7006 [Steve Henson]
7007
7008 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7009 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7010 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7011 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7012 [Steve Henson]
7013
7014 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7015 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7016
7017 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7018 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7019 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7020 [Steve Henson]
7021
7022 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7023 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7024 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7025 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7026 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7027
7028 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7029 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7030 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7034 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7035 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7036 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7037 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7038 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7039 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7040 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7041
7042 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7043 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7044 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7045 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7046 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7047 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7048 [Steve Henson]
7049
7050 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7051 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7052 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7053 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7054 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7055 printout format cleaned up.
7056 [Steve Henson]
7057
7058 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7059 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7060 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7061 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7062 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7063 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7064 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7065 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7066 [Steve Henson]
7067
7068 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7069 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7070 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7071 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7072 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7073 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7074 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7075 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7076 [Steve Henson]
7077
7078 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7079 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7080 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7081 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7082 section to use.
7083 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7084
7085 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7086 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7087 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7088 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7089 [Steve Henson]
7090
7091 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7092 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7093 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7094 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7095 in the index file.
7096 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7097
7098 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7099 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7100 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7101 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7102
7103 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7104 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7105
7106 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7107 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7108 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7109 [Steve Henson]
7110
7111 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7112 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7113 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7114 [Bodo Moeller]
7115
7116 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7117 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7118 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7119 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7120 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7121 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7122 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7123 functions are provided:
7124
7125 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7126 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7127 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7128 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7129
7130 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7131 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7132 extended allocation function is enabled.
7133 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7134 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7135 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7136
7137 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7138 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7139 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7140 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7141 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7142 [Geoff Thorpe]
7143
7144 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7145 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7146 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7147 be queried.
7148 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7149 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7150 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7151 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7152
7153 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7154 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7155 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7156 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7157 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7158 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7159 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7160 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7161 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7162 [Richard Levitte]
7163
7164 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7165 provide utility functions which an application needing
7166 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7167 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7168 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7169
7170 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7171 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7172 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7173 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7174 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7175 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7176 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7177 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7178 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7179
7180 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7181 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7182 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7183 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7184 [Steve Henson]
7185
7186 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7187 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7188 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7189 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7190 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7191 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7192 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7193 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7194 will be added elsewhere.
7195 [Steve Henson]
7196
7197 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7198 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7199 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7200 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7204 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7205 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7206 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7207 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7208 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7209 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7210 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7211 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7212 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7213 to produce the required SET OF.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7217 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7218 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7219 [Richard Levitte]
7220
7221 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7222 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7223 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7224 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7225 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7226 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7227 [Steve Henson]
7228
7229 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7230 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7231 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7232 [Steve Henson]
7233
7234 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7235 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7236 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7237 [Richard Levitte]
7238
7239 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7240 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7241 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7242 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7243 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7244 [Steve Henson]
7245
7246 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7247 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7251 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7252 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7253 certifcates and CRLs.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7257 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7258 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7259 [Steve Henson]
7260
7261 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7262 entries for variables.
7263 [Steve Henson]
7264
7265 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7266 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7267 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7268 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7269 [Bodo Moeller]
7270
7271 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7272 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7273 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7274 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7275 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7276 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7277 [Bodo Moeller]
7278
7279 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7280 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7281
7282 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7283 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7284 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7285 [Steve Henson]
7286
7287 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7288 print routines.
7289 [Steve Henson]
7290
7291 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7292 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7293 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7294 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7295 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7296 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7297 [Steve Henson]
7298
7299 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7300 [Steve Henson]
7301
7302 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7303 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7304 for now but they will eventually go away.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7308 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7309 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7310 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7311 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7312 has also been converted to the new form.
7313 [Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7316 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7317 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7318 for negative moduli.
7319 [Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7322 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7323 [Bodo Moeller]
7324
7325 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7326 set.
7327 [Bodo Moeller]
7328
7329 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7330 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7331 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7332 type-specific callbacks.
7333 [Geoff Thorpe]
7334
7335 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7336 RFC 2712.
7337 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7338 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7339
7340 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7341 in sections depending on the subject.
7342 [Richard Levitte]
7343
7344 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7345 Windows.
7346 [Richard Levitte]
7347
7348 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7349 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7350 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7351 be handled deterministically).
7352 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7353
7354 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7355 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7356 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7357 [Bodo Moeller]
7358
7359 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7360 [Bodo Moeller]
7361
7362 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7363 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7364 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7365 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7366 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7367 [Bodo Moeller]
7368
7369 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7370 sign of the number in question.
7371
7372 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7373
7374 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7375 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7376 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7377 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7378 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7379 [Bodo Moeller]
7380
7381 *) New function BN_swap.
7382 [Bodo Moeller]
7383
7384 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7385 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7386 results on negative inputs.
7387 [Bodo Moeller]
7388
7389 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7390 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7391 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7392 [Bodo Moeller]
7393
7394 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7395 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7396 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7397 and add new functions:
7398
7399 BN_nnmod
7400 BN_mod_sqr
7401 BN_mod_add
7402 BN_mod_add_quick
7403 BN_mod_sub
7404 BN_mod_sub_quick
7405 BN_mod_lshift1
7406 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7407 BN_mod_lshift
7408 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7409
7410 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7411
7412 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7413 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7414
7415 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7416 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7417 be reduced modulo m.
7418 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7419
7420 #if 0
7421 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7422 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7423 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7424
7425 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7426 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7427 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7428 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7429 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7430 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7431 differing sizes.
7432 [Richard Levitte]
7433 #endif
7434
7435 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7436 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7437 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7438 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7439 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7440
7441 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7442 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7443 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7444 cause any problems.
7445 [Bodo Moeller]
7446
7447 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7448 [Richard Levitte]
7449
7450 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7451 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7452 [Richard Levitte]
7453
7454 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7455 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7456 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7457 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7458 time)
7459 [Richard Levitte]
7460
7461 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7462 [Richard Levitte]
7463
7464 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7465 [Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) Add the following functions:
7468
7469 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7470 ENGINE_load_chil()
7471 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7472 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7473 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7474
7475 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7476 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7477 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7478 libraries unless it's really needed.
7479
7480 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7481 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7482 declarations (they differed!).
7483 [Richard Levitte]
7484
7485 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7486 [Richard Levitte]
7487
7488 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7489 [Richard Levitte]
7490
7491 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7492 [Bodo Moeller]
7493
7494 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7495 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7496 [Richard Levitte]
7497
7498 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7499 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7500 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7501
7502 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7503 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7504 [Richard Levitte]
7505
7506 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7507 [Richard Levitte]
7508
7509 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7510 [Richard Levitte]
7511
7512 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7513 [Ben Laurie]
7514
7515 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7516 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7517 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7518
7519 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7520 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7521 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7522 different shared library filenames on each system.
7523 [Geoff Thorpe]
7524
7525 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7526 [Richard Levitte]
7527
7528 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7529 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7530 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7531 of two sections.
7532 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7533
7534 *) NCONF changes.
7535 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7536 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7537 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7538 binary backward compatibility.
7539 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7540 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7541 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7542 LDAP server.
7543 [Richard Levitte]
7544
7545 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7546 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7547 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7548 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7549 this case.
7550 [Steve Henson]
7551
7552 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7553 [Ben Laurie]
7554
7555 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7556 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7557 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7558 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7559 set.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7563 [Richard Levitte]
7564
7565 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7566
7567 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7568 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7569 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7570
7571 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7572
7573 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7574
7575 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7576 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7577 [Steve Henson]
7578
7579 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7580
7581 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7582
7583 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7584 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7585
7586 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7587 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7588
7589 [Steve Henson]
7590
7591 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7592 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7593 specifications.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7597 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7598 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7599 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7600
7601 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7602 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7603 [Richard Levitte]
7604
7605 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7606
7607 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7608 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7609 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7610 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7611 [Bodo Moeller]
7612
7613 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7614 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7615 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7616 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7617 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7618
7619 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7620 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7621 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7622 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7623 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7624 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7625 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7626 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7627 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7628 [Bodo Moeller]
7629
7630 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7631
7632 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7633 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7634 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7635 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7636 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7637
7638 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7639 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7640 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7641
7642 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7643
7644 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7645 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7646 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7647 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7648 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7649 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7650 [Geoff Thorpe]
7651
7652 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7653 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7654 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7655 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7656 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7657 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7658
7659 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7660 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7661 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7662
7663 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7664 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7665 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7666 EVP_cleanup().
7667 [Richard Levitte]
7668
7669 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7670 being properly terminated.
7671 [Richard Levitte]
7672
7673 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7674 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7675 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7676 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7677
7678 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7679 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7680 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7681 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7682 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7683 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7684 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7685 change.
7686 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7687
7688 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7689 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7690 [Bodo Moeller]
7691
7692 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7693 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7694 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7695 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7696 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7697 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7698 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7699 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7700
7701 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7702 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7703 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7704 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7705 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7706
7707 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7708 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7709 [Steve Henson]
7710
7711 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7712
7713 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7714 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7715 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7716
7717 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7718
7719 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7720 and get fix the header length calculation.
7721 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7722 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7723 Steve Henson]
7724
7725 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7726 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7727 assertions could call abort()).
7728 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7729
7730 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7731
7732 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7733 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7734 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7735 supplied buffer.
7736 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7737
7738 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7739 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7740 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7742
7743 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7744 [Nils Larsch]
7745
7746 *) New option
7747 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7748 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7749 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7750
7751 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7752 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7753 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7754 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7755 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7756 applications.
7757 [Bodo Moeller]
7758
7759 *) Changes in security patch:
7760
7761 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7762 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7763 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7764 F30602-01-2-0537.
7765
7766 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7767 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7768 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7769 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7770 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7771
7772 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7773 happen in practice.
7774 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7775
7776 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7777 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7778 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7779
7780 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7781 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7782 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7783
7784 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7785 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7786 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7787
7788 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7789
7790 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7791 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7792 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7795 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7796
7797 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7798 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7799 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7800 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7801 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7802 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7803 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7804
7805 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7806 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7807 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7808 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7809 [Bodo Moeller]
7810
7811 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7812 [Bodo Moeller]
7813
7814 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7815 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7816 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7817 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7818 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7819 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7820
7821 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7822 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7823 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7824 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7825 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7826 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7827
7828 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7829 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7830 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7831 BN_generate_prime().)
7832
7833 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7834 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7835 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7836 better.
7837 [Bodo Moeller]
7838
7839 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7840 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7841 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7842
7843 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7844 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7845 when using non-blocking I/O.
7846 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7847
7848 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7849 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7850
7851 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7852 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7853 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7854
7855 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7856 configuration for the versions before that.
7857 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7858
7859 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7860 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7861 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7862 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7863 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7864
7865 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7866 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7867 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7868 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7869
7870 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7871 value is 0.
7872 [Richard Levitte]
7873
7874 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7875 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7876 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7877
7878 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7879 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7880
7881 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7882 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7883 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7884 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7885 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7886 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7887 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7888 session cache.
7889
7890 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7891 using a local variable.
7892 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7893
7894 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7895 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7896 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7897
7898 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7899 [Richard Levitte]
7900
7901 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7902 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7903
7904 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7905 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7906 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7907
7908 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7909
7910 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7911 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7912 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7913 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7914 [Bodo Moeller]
7915
7916 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7917 present.
7918 [Steve Henson]
7919
7920 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7921 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7922 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7923 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7924 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7925
7926 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7927 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7928 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7929
7930 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7931 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7932 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7933
7934 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7935 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7936 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7937 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7938
7939 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7940 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7941 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7942 modules).
7943 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7944
7945 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7946 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7947 from 0.9.7.
7948 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7949
7950 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7951 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7952 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7953 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7954
7955 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7956 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7957 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7958 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7959
7960 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7961 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7962
7963 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7964 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7965 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7966 [Bodo Moeller]
7967
7968 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7969 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7970 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7971 become invalid.
7972 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7973
7974 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7975 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7976 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7977 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7978 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7979 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7980 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7981 [Bodo Moeller]
7982
7983 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7984 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7985 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7986 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7987
7988 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7989 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7990 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7991 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7992 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7993 the client will at least see that alert.
7994 [Bodo Moeller]
7995
7996 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7997 correctly.
7998 [Bodo Moeller]
7999
8000 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8001 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8002 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8003
8004 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8005 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8006 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8007 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8008 HelloRequest.
8009
8010 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8011 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8012 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8013
8014 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8015 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8016 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8017 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8018 may leak via logfiles.)
8019
8020 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8021 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8022 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8023 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8024 the legal range.
8025 [Bodo Moeller]
8026
8027 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8028 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8029 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8030
8031 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8032 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8033 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8034 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8035 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8036 [Bodo Moeller]
8037
8038 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8039 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8040
8041 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8042 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8043 followed by modular reduction.
8044 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8045
8046 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8047 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8048 [Bodo Moeller]
8049
8050 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8051 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8052 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8053 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8054 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8055
8056 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8057 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8058
8059 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8060 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8061 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8062
8063 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8064 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8065 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8066 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8067 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8068 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8069 automatically.
8070 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8071
8072 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8073 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8074 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8075 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8076 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8077
8078 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8079 [Andy Polyakov]
8080
8081 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8082 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8083 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8084 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8085 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8086 to allow the necessary settings.
8087 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8088
8089 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8090 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8091 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8092 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8093 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8094
8095 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8096 dh->length and always used
8097
8098 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8099
8100 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8101 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8102 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8103 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8104 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8105 dh->length.
8106
8107 So switch back to
8108
8109 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8110
8111 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8112 otherwise.
8113 [Bodo Moeller]
8114
8115 *) In
8116
8117 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8118 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8119 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8120 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8121
8122 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8123 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8124 always reject numbers >= n.
8125 [Bodo Moeller]
8126
8127 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8128 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8129 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8130 variable) is not atomic.
8131 [Bodo Moeller]
8132
8133 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8134 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8135 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8136 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8137
8138 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8139 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8140
8141 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8142 little-endian MIPS.
8143 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8144
8145 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8146 [Richard Levitte]
8147
8148 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8149
8150 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8151 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8152 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8153 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8154 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8155 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8156 to traverse all of 'state'.
8157
8158 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8159 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8160 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8161
8162 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8163 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8164
8165 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8166 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8167 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8168 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8169 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8170 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8171 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8172 further strengthens the PRNG.
8173 [Bodo Moeller]
8174
8175 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8176 [Andy Polyakov]
8177
8178 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8179 an error message in this case.
8180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8181
8182 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8183 [Steve Henson]
8184
8185 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8186 positive and less than q.
8187 [Bodo Moeller]
8188
8189 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8190 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8191 that itself.
8192 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8193
8194 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8195 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8196 [Bodo Moeller]
8197
8198 *) Fix OAEP check.
8199 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8200
8201 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8202 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8203 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8204 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8205 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8206 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8207 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8208 paper.)
8209
8210 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8211 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8212 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8213 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8214
8215 Both problems are now fixed.
8216 [Bodo Moeller]
8217
8218 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8219 (previously it was 1024).
8220 [Bodo Moeller]
8221
8222 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8223 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8224 [Steve Henson]
8225
8226 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8227 [Steve Henson]
8228
8229 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8230 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8231 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8232 [Steve Henson]
8233
8234 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8235 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8236 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8237 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8238 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8239 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8240 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8241 environment variables.
8242
8243 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8244 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8245 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8246 [Bodo Moeller]
8247
8248 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8249 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8250 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8251 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8252 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8253 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8254 [Bodo Moeller]
8255
8256 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8257 versions of 'test'.
8258 [Bodo Moeller]
8259
8260 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8261
8262 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8263 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8264
8265 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8266 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8267 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8268 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8269 CygWin.
8270 [Richard Levitte]
8271
8272 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8273 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8274 amount of data available.
8275 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8276 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8277
8278 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8279 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8280 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8281 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8282 [Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8285 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8286 and UnixWare.
8287 [Richard Levitte]
8288
8289 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8290 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8291 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8292 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8293 [Ulf Moeller]
8294
8295 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8296 [Andy Polyakov]
8297
8298 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8299 [Richard Levitte]
8300
8301 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8302 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8303 [Steve Henson]
8304 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8305
8306 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8307 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8308 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8309 (but broken) behaviour.
8310 [Steve Henson]
8311
8312 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8313 it when found.
8314 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8315
8316 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8317 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8318 [Bodo Moeller]
8319
8320 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8321 did not exist.
8322 [Bodo Moeller]
8323
8324 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8325 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8326
8327 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8328 [Richard Levitte]
8329
8330 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8331 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8332 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8333
8334 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8335 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8336 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8337 [Steve Henson]
8338
8339 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8340 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8341 [Ulf Moeller]
8342
8343 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8344 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8345
8346 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8347
8348 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8349
8350 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8351 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8352 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8353 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8354 [Bodo Moeller]
8355
8356 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8357 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8358
8359 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8360 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8361 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8362
8363 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8364 was empty.
8365 [Steve Henson]
8366 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8367
8368 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8369 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8370 but the code is actually correct.
8371 [Steve Henson]
8372
8373 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8374 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8375 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8376 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8377 and leaves the highest bit random.
8378 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8379
8380 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8381 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8382 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8383 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8384 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8385 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8386 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8387 [Bodo Moeller]
8388
8389 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8390 [Ulf Moeller]
8391
8392 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8393 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8394 [Steve Henson]
8395
8396 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8397 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8398 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8399 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8400 headers.
8401 [Richard Levitte]
8402
8403 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8404 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8405 and break the signature.
8406 [Steve Henson]
8407 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8408
8409 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8410 DH ciphersuites.
8411 [Steve Henson]
8412
8413 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8414 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8415 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8416 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8417 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8418 [Bodo Moeller]
8419
8420 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8421 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8422
8423 *) ./config script fixes.
8424 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8425
8426 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8427 [Bodo Moeller]
8428
8429 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8430 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8431 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8432 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8433 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8434
8435 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8436 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8437 [Bodo Moeller]
8438
8439 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8440 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8441 [Steve Henson]
8442
8443 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8444 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8445 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8446 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8447
8448 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8449 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8450
8451 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8452 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8453 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8454 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8455 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8456
8457 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8458 [Bodo Moeller]
8459
8460 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8461 [Ulf Möller]
8462
8463 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8464 [Ulf Möller]
8465
8466 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8467 [Bodo Moeller]
8468
8469 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8470 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8471 [Bodo Moeller]
8472
8473 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8474 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8475 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8476 result of the server certificate verification.)
8477 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8478
8479 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8480 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8481 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8482 [Bodo Moeller]
8483
8484 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8485 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8486 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8487 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8488 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8489 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8490 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8491 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8492 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8493 [Bodo Moeller]
8494
8495 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8496 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8497 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8498 happening the other way round.
8499 [Geoff Thorpe]
8500
8501 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8502 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8503 [Bodo Moeller]
8504
8505 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8506 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8507 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8508 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8509 [Richard Levitte]
8510
8511 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8512 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8513
8514 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8515
8516 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8517 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8518 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8519 that.
8520
8521 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8522
8523 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8524
8525 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8526 static ones.
8527 [Richard Levitte]
8528
8529 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8530
8531 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8532 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8533 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8534 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8535 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8536
8537 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8538 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8539 matter what.
8540 [Richard Levitte]
8541
8542 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8543 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8544
8545 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8546
8547 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8548 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8549 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8550 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8551 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8552 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8553 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8554 by the Finished messages.
8555 [Bodo Moeller]
8556
8557 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8558 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8559
8560 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8561 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8562 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8563 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8564 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8565 appropriately.
8566 [Steve Henson]
8567
8568 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8569 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8570 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8571 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8572 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8573 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8574 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8575 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8576 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8577 together.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8581 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8582 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8583 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8584
8585 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8586 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8587 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8588 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8589 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8590 the answer.
8591
8592 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8593 been tested well enough.
8594 [Richard Levitte]
8595
8596 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8597 it can return incorrect results.
8598 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8599 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8600 [Bodo Moeller]
8601
8602 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8603 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8604 include zero length content when signing messages.
8605 [Steve Henson]
8606
8607 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8608 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8609 [Bodo Möller]
8610
8611 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8612 [Richard Levitte]
8613
8614 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8615 wrong sign.
8616 [Ulf Möller]
8617
8618 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8619 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8620 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8621 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8622 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8623 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8624 [Richard Levitte]
8625
8626 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8627 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8628
8629 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8630 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8631
8632 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8633 random number < q in the DSA library.
8634 [Ulf Möller]
8635
8636 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8637 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8638 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8639 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8640 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8641 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8642 just makes things more complicated.)
8643 [Bodo Moeller]
8644
8645 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8646 from EGD.
8647 [Ben Laurie]
8648
8649 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8650 work better on such systems.
8651 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8652
8653 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8654 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8655 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8656 [Steve Henson]
8657
8658 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8659 if there was more than one signature.
8660 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8661
8662 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8663 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8664 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8665 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8666 [Richard Levitte]
8667
8668 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8669 rather than always using the current time.
8670 [Steve Henson]
8671
8672 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8673 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8674 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8675 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8676 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8677 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8678
8679 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8680 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8681
8682 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8683
8684 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8685 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8686 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8687 the same hash value.
8688
8689 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8690 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8691 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8692 with X509_STORE internally.
8693
8694 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8695 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8696
8697 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8698 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8699 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8700 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8701 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8702 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8703 entirely (maybe later...).
8704
8705 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8706
8707 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8708 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8709 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8710 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8711 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8712 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8713 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8714 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8715
8716 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8717 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8718
8719 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8720 to customise the verify behaviour.
8721 [Steve Henson]
8722
8723 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8724 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8725 [Steve Henson]
8726
8727 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8728 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8729 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8730 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8731 request is improperly encoded.
8732 [Steve Henson]
8733
8734 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8735 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8736 BIO_write(b, ...).
8737
8738 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8739 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8740
8741 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8742 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8743 words set to zero.)
8744 [Bodo Moeller]
8745
8746 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8747 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8748 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8749 [Bodo Moeller]
8750
8751 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8752 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8753 BIO/fp routines also added.
8754 [Steve Henson]
8755
8756 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8757 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8758
8759 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8760 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8761 demos/state_machine.
8762 [Ben Laurie]
8763
8764 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8765 generation and verification.
8766 [Steve Henson]
8767
8768 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8769 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8770 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8771 encode and decode it manually.
8772 [Steve Henson]
8773
8774 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8775 compile under VC++.
8776 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8777
8778 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8779 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8780 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8781 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8782
8783 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8784 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8785 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8786 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8787 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8788 [Steve Henson]
8789
8790 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8791 [Richard Levitte]
8792
8793 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8794 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8795 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8796
8797 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8798 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8799 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8800 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8801 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8802 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8803 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8804 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8805
8806 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8807 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8808
8809 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8810
8811 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8812 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8813 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8814
8815 [Richard Levitte]
8816
8817 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8818 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8819 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8820 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8821 [Richard Levitte]
8822
8823 *) MD4 implemented.
8824 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8825
8826 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8827 [Richard Levitte]
8828
8829 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8830 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8831 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8832 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8833 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8834 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8835 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8836 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8837 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8838 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8839 short or long names are found.
8840 [Steve Henson]
8841
8842 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8843 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8844
8845 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8846 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8847 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8848 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8849
8850 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8851 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8852 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8853 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8854 [Bodo Moeller]
8855
8856 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8857 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8858 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8859 [Richard Levitte]
8860
8861 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8862 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8863 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8864 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8865 to allow the various flags to be set.
8866 [Steve Henson]
8867
8868 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8869 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8870 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8871 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8872 dates to be checked.
8873 [Steve Henson]
8874
8875 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8876 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8877 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8878 [Steve Henson]
8879
8880 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8881 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8882 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8883 [Steve Henson]
8884
8885 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8886 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8887 [Bodo Moeller]
8888
8889 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8890 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8891 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8892 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8893 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8894 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8895 [Richard Levitte]
8896
8897 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8898 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8899 Random Numbers.
8900 [Ulf Möller]
8901
8902 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8903 DSA key.
8904 [Steve Henson]
8905
8906 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8907 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8908 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8909 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8910 form signing output easier to verify.
8911 [Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8914 [Steve Henson]
8915
8916 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8917 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8918 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8919 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8920 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8921 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8922 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8923 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8924 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8925 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8926 [Steve Henson]
8927
8928 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8929
8930 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8931 the syntax given in objects.README.
8932 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8933 obj_mac.h.
8934 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8935 obj_mac.h.
8936
8937 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8938 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8939 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8940 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8941 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8942 consistent name changes.
8943 [Richard Levitte]
8944
8945 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8946 [Bodo Moeller]
8947
8948 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8949 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8950 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8951 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8952 [Richard Levitte]
8953
8954 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8955 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8956 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8957 of safestack.h .
8958 [Steve Henson]
8959
8960 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8961 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8962 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8963 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8964 [Steve Henson]
8965
8966 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8967 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8968 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8969 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8970 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8971 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8972 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8973 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8974 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8975 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8976 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8977 [Steve Henson]
8978
8979 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8980 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8981 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8982 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8983 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8984 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8985 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8986 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8987 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8988 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8989 [Steve Henson]
8990
8991 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8992 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8993 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8994 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8995
8996 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8997 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8998 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8999 omit any duplicate addresses.
9000 [Steve Henson]
9001
9002 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9003 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9004 [Bodo Moeller]
9005
9006 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9007 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9008 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9009 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9010 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9011 [Bodo Moeller]
9012
9013 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9014 software:
9015 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9016 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9017 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9018 Free => OPENSSL_free
9019 [Richard Levitte]
9020
9021 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9022 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9023 [Bodo Moeller]
9024
9025 *) CygWin32 support.
9026 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9027
9028 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9029 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9030 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9031 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9032 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9033 approach.
9034 [Geoff Thorpe]
9035
9036 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9037 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9038 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9039 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9040 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9041 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9042 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9043 [Geoff Thorpe]
9044
9045 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9046 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9047 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9048 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9049 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9050 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9051 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9052 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9053 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9054 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9055 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9056 [Bodo Moeller]
9057
9058 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9059 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9060 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9061 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9062 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9063
9064 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9065 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9066 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9067 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9068 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9069
9070 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9071 ciphers.
9072
9073 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9074 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9075 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9076 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9077
9078 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9079
9080 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9081 of macros.
9082
9083 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9084 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9085 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9086 flags.
9087
9088 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9089 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9090 any installed hardware versions can.
9091 [Steve Henson]
9092
9093 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9094 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9095 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9096 number.
9097 [Bodo Moeller]
9098
9099 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9100 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9101 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9102 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9103 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9104
9105 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9106 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9107 [Steve Henson]
9108
9109 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9110 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9111 [Richard Levitte]
9112
9113 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9114 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9115 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9116 features.
9117 [Steve Henson]
9118
9119 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9120 [Ulf Möller]
9121
9122 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9123 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9124 but no ssl client purpose.
9125 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9126
9127 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9128 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9129 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9130 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9131 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9132 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9133 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9134 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9135 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9136 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9137 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9138 [Steve Henson]
9139
9140 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9141 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9142 be obtained from the error queue.
9143 [Bodo Moeller]
9144
9145 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9146 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9147 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9148 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9149 [Bodo Moeller]
9150
9151 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9152 [Ulf Möller]
9153
9154 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9155 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9156 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9157 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9158 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9159 [Geoff Thorpe]
9160
9161 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9162 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9163 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9164 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9165 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9166 [Geoff Thorpe]
9167
9168 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9169 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9170 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9171 may not be NULL.
9172 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9173
9174 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9175 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9176 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9177 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9178 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9179 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9180 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9181 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9182 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9183 or "the configuration storage API"...
9184
9185 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9186
9187 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9188 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9189
9190 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9191
9192 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9193
9194 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9195 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9196 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9197 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9198 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9199 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9200 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9201
9202 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9203 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9204 [Richard Levitte]
9205
9206 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9207 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9208 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9209 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9210 [Bodo Moeller]
9211
9212 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9213 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9214 them in a portable way.
9215 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9216
9217 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9218
9219 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9220
9221 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9222 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9223
9224 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9225 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9226 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9227 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9228
9229 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9230 was larger than the MD block size.
9231 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9232
9233 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9234 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9235 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9236 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9237 components.
9238 [Steve Henson]
9239
9240 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9241 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9242 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9243
9244 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9245 discouraged.
9246 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9247
9248 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9249 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9250 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9251 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9252 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9253 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9254
9255 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9256 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9257
9258 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9259 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9260 [Bodo Moeller]
9261
9262 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9263 [Bodo Moeller]
9264
9265 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9266 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9267 its own key.
9268 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9269 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9270 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9271 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9272 [Bodo Moeller]
9273
9274 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9275 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9276 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9277 does not suppress any output.
9278 [Richard Levitte]
9279
9280 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9281 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9282 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9283 with all the associated security issues.
9284
9285 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9286 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9287 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9288 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9289 use the value in the default purpose.
9290 [Steve Henson]
9291
9292 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9293 and fix a memory leak.
9294 [Steve Henson]
9295
9296 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9297 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9298 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9299 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9300 [Bodo Moeller]
9301
9302 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9303 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9304 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9305 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9306 [Bodo Moeller]
9307
9308 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9309 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9310 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9311 [Bodo Moeller]
9312
9313 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9314 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9315 [Bodo Moeller]
9316
9317 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9318 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9319 which was free.
9320 [Steve Henson]
9321
9322 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9323 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9324 [Bodo Moeller]
9325
9326 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9327 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9328 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9329 [Bodo Moeller]
9330
9331 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9332 number generation fails.
9333 [Bodo Moeller]
9334
9335 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9336 [Bodo Moeller]
9337
9338 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9339 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9340
9341 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9342 [Ulf Möller]
9343
9344 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9345 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9346
9347 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9348 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9349
9350 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9351
9352 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9353 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9354 [Steve Henson]
9355
9356 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9357 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9358
9359 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9360 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9361 [Ulf Möller]
9362
9363 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9364 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9365 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9366 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9367 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9368 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9369
9370 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9371 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9372 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9373 for example.
9374 [Steve Henson]
9375
9376 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9377 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9378 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9379 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9380 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9381 counter, some don't.)
9382 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9383 counters or duplicate objects.
9384 [Steve Henson]
9385
9386 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9387 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9388 [Steve Henson]
9389
9390 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9391 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9392 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9393
9394 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9395 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9396 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9397 or -rand.
9398 [Ulf Möller]
9399
9400 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9401 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9402 [Steve Henson]
9403
9404 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9405 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9406 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9407 cipher list.
9408 [Steve Henson]
9409
9410 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9411 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9412 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9413 [Steve Henson]
9414
9415 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9416 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9417 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9418 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9419 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9420 should work without changes.
9421 [Richard Levitte]
9422
9423 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9424 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9425 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9426 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9427 must be defined. E.g.,
9428 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9429 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9430 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9431 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9432
9433 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9434 record layer.
9435 [Bodo Moeller]
9436
9437 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9438 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9439 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9440 [Steve Henson]
9441
9442 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9443 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9444 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9445 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9446 [Steve Henson]
9447
9448 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9449 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9450 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9451 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9452 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9453 is prompted for as usual.
9454 [Steve Henson]
9455
9456 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9457 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9458 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9459 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9460
9461 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9462 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9463 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9464 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9465 [Steve Henson]
9466
9467 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9468 [Andy Polyakov]
9469
9470 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9471 of seed file.
9472 [Steve Henson]
9473
9474 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9475 [Bodo Moeller]
9476
9477 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9478 [Steve Henson]
9479
9480 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9481 bits.
9482 [Ulf Möller]
9483
9484 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9485 [Ulf Möller]
9486
9487 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9488 [Andy Polyakov]
9489
9490 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9491 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9492 [Ulf Möller]
9493
9494 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9495 options to produce them.
9496 [Steve Henson]
9497
9498 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9499 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9500 [Ulf Möller]
9501
9502 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9503 for p == 0.
9504 [Ulf Möller]
9505
9506 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9507 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9508 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9509 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9510 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9511 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9512 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9513 [Steve Henson]
9514
9515 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9516 [Steve Henson]
9517
9518 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9519 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9520 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9521 [Bodo Moeller]
9522
9523 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9524 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9525
9526 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9527 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9528 [Ulf Möller]
9529
9530 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9531 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9532 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9533 has already seen).
9534 [Bodo Moeller]
9535
9536 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9537 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9538
9539 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9540 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9541 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9542 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9543 generation becomes much faster.
9544
9545 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9546 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9547 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9548 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9549 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9550 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9551 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9552 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9553 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9554 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9555 [Bodo Moeller]
9556
9557 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9558 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9559 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9560 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9561 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9562 trial division stage.
9563 [Bodo Moeller]
9564
9565 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9566 as ASN1_TIME.
9567 [Steve Henson]
9568
9569 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9570 [Steve Henson]
9571
9572 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9573 [Ulf Möller]
9574
9575 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9576 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9577 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9578 the comments.
9579 [Ulf Möller]
9580
9581 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9582 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9583 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9584 [Bodo Moeller]
9585
9586 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9587 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9588 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9589 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9590
9591 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9592 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9593 [Steve Henson]
9594
9595 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9596 [Ulf Möller]
9597
9598 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9599 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9600 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9601 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9602 [Ulf Möller]
9603
9604 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9605 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9606 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9607 [Ulf Möller]
9608
9609 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9610 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9611 (instead of parameters) in future.
9612 [Steve Henson]
9613
9614 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9615 when a new cipher list is set.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9619 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9620 wrong.
9621
9622 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9623 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9624 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9625
9626 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9627 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9628 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9629 an error is flagged.
9630
9631 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9632 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9633 the readability was also increased :-)
9634 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9635
9636 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9637 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9638 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9639 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9640 as the root CA.
9641 [Steve Henson]
9642
9643 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9644 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9645 [Steve Henson]
9646
9647 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9648 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9649 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9650 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9651 instead.
9652
9653 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9654 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9655 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9656 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9657 because they handle more complex structures.)
9658 [Steve Henson]
9659
9660 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9661 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9662 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9663 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9664
9665 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9666 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9667 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9668 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9669 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9670 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9671 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9672 [Ulf Möller]
9673
9674 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9675 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9676 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9677 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9678 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9679 [Bodo Moeller]
9680
9681 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9682 [Bodo Moeller]
9683
9684 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9685 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9686 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9687 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9688 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9689 to use this.
9690
9691 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9692 code.
9693 [Steve Henson]
9694
9695 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9696 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9697 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9698 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9699 [Steve Henson]
9700
9701 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9702 [Ulf Möller]
9703
9704 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9705 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9706 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9707 international characters are used.
9708
9709 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9710 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9711 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9712 in ASN1 order.
9713 [Steve Henson]
9714
9715 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9716 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9717 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9718 request.
9719
9720 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9721 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9722 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9723 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9724 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9725 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9726
9727 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9728 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9729 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9730 be handled by the string table functions.
9731
9732 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9733 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9734 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9735 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9736 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9737 types at all.
9738 [Steve Henson]
9739
9740 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9741 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9742 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9743 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9744 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9745
9746 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9747 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9748 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9749 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9750 [Bodo Moeller]
9751
9752 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9753 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9754 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9755 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9756 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9757 SHA1.
9758 [Andy Polyakov]
9759
9760 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9761 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9762 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9763 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9764 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9765 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9766 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9767 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9768
9769 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9770 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9771 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9772 [Steve Henson]
9773
9774 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9775 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9776 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9777 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9778 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9779 support to pkcs8 application.
9780 [Steve Henson]
9781
9782 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9783 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9784 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9785 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9786 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9787 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9788 [Bodo Moeller]
9789
9790 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9791 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9792 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9793 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9794 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9795 consistency.
9796 [Bodo Moeller]
9797
9798 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9799 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9800 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9801 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9802 example.
9803 [Steve Henson]
9804
9805 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9806 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9807 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9808 and any application specific purposes.
9809
9810 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9811 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9812 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9813 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9814 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9815 if the certificate is self signed.
9816 [Steve Henson]
9817
9818 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9819 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9820 [Steve Henson]
9821
9822 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9823 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9824 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9825 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9826 [Steve Henson]
9827
9828 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9829 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9830 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9831 Update documentation.
9832 [Steve Henson]
9833
9834 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9835 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9836 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9837 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9838 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9839 [Steve Henson]
9840
9841 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9842 for details.
9843 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9844
9845 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9846 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9847 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9848 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9849 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9850 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9851 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9852 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9853 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9854 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9855
9856 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9857
9858 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9859 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9860 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9861 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9862 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9863
9864 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9865 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9866 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9867 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9868 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9869 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9870 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9871 request additional information:
9872 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9873 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9874
9875 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9876 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9877 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9878 options.
9879
9880 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9881 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9882
9883 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9884 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9885 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9886
9887 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9888 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9889
9890 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9891 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9892 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9893 algorithm.
9894 [Steve Henson]
9895
9896 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9897 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9898 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9899
9900 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9901 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9902 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9903 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9904 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9905 included in OpenSSL.
9906 [Steve Henson]
9907
9908 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9909 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9910 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9911 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9912 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9913 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9914 [Bodo Moeller]
9915
9916 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9917 PKCS12 structure.
9918 [Steve Henson]
9919
9920 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9921 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9922 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9923 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9924 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9925 structure.
9926 [Steve Henson]
9927
9928 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9929 need initialising.
9930 [Steve Henson]
9931
9932 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9933 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9934 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9935 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9936 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9937 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9938 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9939 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9940 be maintained manually.
9941
9942 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9943 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9944 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9945 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9946 work because people forget to call this function]
9947 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9948 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9949 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9950 [Steve Henson]
9951
9952 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9953 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9954 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9955 should be discouraged from doing it.
9956 [Ben Laurie]
9957
9958 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9959 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9960 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9961 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9962 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9963 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9964 [Steve Henson]
9965
9966 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9967 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9968 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9969
9970 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9971 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9972 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9973
9974 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9975 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9976 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9977 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9978 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9979 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9980
9981 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9982 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9983 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9984
9985 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9986 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9987 and vice versa.
9988
9989 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9990 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9991 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9992 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9993 [Steve Henson]
9994
9995 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9996 [Steve Henson]
9997
9998 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9999 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10000 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10001 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10002 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10003 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10004 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10005 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10006 keys so we should be OK.
10007
10008 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10009 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10010 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10011 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10012 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10013 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10014 stay in the name of compatibility.
10015
10016 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10017 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10018 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10019
10020 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10021 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10022 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10023 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10024 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10025 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10026 supplied key).
10027 [Steve Henson]
10028
10029 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10030 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10031 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10032 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10033 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10034 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10035 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10036 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10037 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10038 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10039 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10040 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10041 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10042 [Steve Henson]
10043
10044 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10045 [Steve Henson]
10046
10047 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10048 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10049 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10050 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10051 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10052 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10053 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10054 openssl verify ss.pem
10055 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10056 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10057 is OK.
10058 [Steve Henson]
10059
10060 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10061 (and add it to external session representation).
10062 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10063 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10064 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10065 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10066 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10067 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10068 security holes.
10069 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10070
10071 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10072 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10073 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10074 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10075
10076 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10077 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10078 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10079 [Steve Henson]
10080
10081 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10082 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10083 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10084 code.
10085 [Steve Henson]
10086
10087 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10088 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10089 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10090
10091 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10092 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10093 certificate auxiliary information.
10094 [Steve Henson]
10095
10096 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10097 the 'enc' command.
10098 [Steve Henson]
10099
10100 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10101 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10102 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10103 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10104 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10105 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10106 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10107 [Richard Levitte]
10108
10109 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10110 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10111 [Steve Henson]
10112
10113 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10114 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10115 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10116 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10120 [Steve Henson]
10121
10122 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10123 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10124 [Steve Henson]
10125
10126 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10127 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10128 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10129 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10130 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10131 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10132 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10133 using the new 'x509' options.
10134
10135 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10136 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10137 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10138 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10139 for all purposes.
10140 [Steve Henson]
10141
10142 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10143 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10144 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10145 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10146 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10147 [Mark Cox]
10148
10149 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10150 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10151 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10152 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10153 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10154 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10155 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10156 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10157 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10158 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10159 [Steve Henson]
10160
10161 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10162 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10163 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10164 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10165 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10166 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10167 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10168 [Steve Henson]
10169
10170 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10171 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10172 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10173 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10174 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10175 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10176 openssl.cnf for more info.
10177 [Steve Henson]
10178
10179 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10180 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10181 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10182 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10183 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10184 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10185 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10186 md should be large enough anyway.
10187 [Bodo Moeller]
10188
10189 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10190 for handling the random seed file.
10191
10192 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10193 ca,
10194 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10195 s_client,
10196 s_server,
10197 x509 (when signing).
10198 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10199 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10200 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10201
10202 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10203 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10204 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10205 that support '-rand'.
10206 [Bodo Moeller]
10207
10208 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10209 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10210 [Bodo Moeller]
10211
10212 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10213 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10214 [Bill Perry]
10215
10216 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10217 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10218 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10219 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10220 is suitable.
10221 [Steve Henson]
10222
10223 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10224 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10225 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10226 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10230 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10231 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10232 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10233 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10234 print out all the purposes.
10235 [Steve Henson]
10236
10237 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10238 functions.
10239 [Steve Henson]
10240
10241 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10242 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10243 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10244 single function call.
10245 [Steve Henson]
10246
10247 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10248 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10249 [Andy Polyakov]
10250
10251 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10252 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10253 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10254 [Steve Henson]
10255
10256 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10257 when producing the local key id.
10258 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10259
10260 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10261 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10262 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10263 "server.pem".
10264 [Steve Henson]
10265
10266 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10267 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10268 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10269 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10270 [Steve Henson]
10271
10272 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10273 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10274 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10275 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10276
10277 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10278 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10279 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10280 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10281
10282 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10283 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10284 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10285 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10286 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10287 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10288 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10289 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10290 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10291 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10292 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10293 trivial: move one line.
10294 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10295
10296 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10297 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10298 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10299 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10300 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10301 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10302 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10303 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10304 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10305 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10306 with an event loop for example.
10307 [Steve Henson]
10308
10309 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10310 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10311 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10312 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10313 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10314 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10315 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10316 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10317 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10321 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10322 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10323 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10324 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10325 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10326 [Steve Henson]
10327
10328 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10329 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10330 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10331 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10332
10333 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10334 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10335 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10336 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10337 key generation.
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10341 (still largely untested)
10342 [Bodo Moeller]
10343
10344 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10345 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10346 [Steve Henson]
10347
10348 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10349 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10350 [Steve Henson]
10351
10352 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10353 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10354 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10355 [Bodo Moeller]
10356
10357 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10358 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10359 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10360 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10361 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10362 [Steve Henson]
10363
10364 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10365 [Andy Polyakov]
10366
10367 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10368 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10369 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10370 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10371 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10372 in ca.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10376 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10377 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10378 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10379 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10380 [Steve Henson]
10381
10382 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10383 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10384 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10385 are otherwise ignored at present.
10386 [Steve Henson]
10387
10388 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10389 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10390 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10391 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10392 copied until the next read.
10393 [Steve Henson]
10394
10395 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10396 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10397 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10398 [Steve Henson]
10399
10400 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10401 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10402 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10403 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10404 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10405 associated functions.
10406 [Steve Henson]
10407
10408 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10409 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10410 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10411 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10412 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10413 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10414 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10415 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10416 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10417 memory BIOs.
10418 [Steve Henson]
10419
10420 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10421 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10422 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10423 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10424 [Bodo Moeller]
10425
10426 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10427 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10428 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10429 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10430 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10431 functionality.
10432 [Steve Henson]
10433
10434 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10435 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10436 under Win32.
10437 [Steve Henson]
10438
10439 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10440 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10441 extensions to be obtained and added.
10442 [Steve Henson]
10443
10444 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10445 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10446 [Bodo Moeller]
10447
10448 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10449
10450 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10451 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10452
10453 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10454 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10455
10456 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10457 program.
10458 [Steve Henson]
10459
10460 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10461 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10462 DH parameters contain its length).
10463
10464 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10465 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10466 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10467 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10468 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10469 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10470 utter importance to use
10471 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10472 or
10473 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10474 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10475 attacks may become possible!
10476 [Bodo Moeller]
10477
10478 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10479 [Bodo Moeller]
10480
10481 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10482 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10483 [Steve Henson]
10484
10485 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10486 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10487 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10488 or long name.
10489 [Steve Henson]
10490
10491 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10492 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10493 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10494 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10495 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10496 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10497 private key operations.
10498 [Steve Henson]
10499
10500 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10501 [Andy Polyakov]
10502
10503 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10504 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10505 to
10506 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10507 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10508 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10509 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10510 the password callback is called.
10511 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10512
10513 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10514
10515 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10516 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10517 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10518 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10519 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10520 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10521 this will work.
10522
10523 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10524 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10525 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10526 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10527 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10528 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10529 [Bodo Moeller]
10530
10531 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10532 [Andy Polyakov]
10533
10534 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10535 delete an unused file.
10536 [Ulf Möller]
10537
10538 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10539 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10540 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10541 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10542 [Steve Henson]
10543
10544 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10545 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10546 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10547 of an error.
10548 [Bodo Moeller]
10549
10550 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10551 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10552 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10553
10554 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10555 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10556 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10557 comparison" warnings.
10558 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10562 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10563 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10564 [Steve Henson]
10565
10566 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10567 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10568
10569 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10570 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10571
10572 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10573 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10574 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10575
10576 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10577 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10578 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10579 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10580 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10581 this bug.
10582 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10583
10584 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10585 The interface is as follows:
10586 Applications can use
10587 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10588 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10589 "off" is now the default.
10590 The library internally uses
10591 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10592 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10593 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10594
10595 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10596 even the default) are now avoided.
10597
10598 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10599 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10600 than just having a counter.
10601
10602 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10603
10604 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10605 extensions.
10606 [Bodo Moeller]
10607
10608 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10609 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10610 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10611 Initial "mode" flags are:
10612
10613 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10614 a single record has been written.
10615 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10616 retries use the same buffer location.
10617 (But all of the contents must be
10618 copied!)
10619 [Bodo Moeller]
10620
10621 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10622 worked.
10623
10624 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10625 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10626
10627 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10628 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10629 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10630 [Steve Henson]
10631
10632 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10633 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10634 test programs.
10635 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10636
10637 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10638 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10639 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10640 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10641 point to the end.
10642 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10643 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10644
10645 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10646 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10647 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10648 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10649 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10650 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10651 [Steve Henson]
10652
10653 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10654 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10655 necessary function names.
10656 [Steve Henson]
10657
10658 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10659 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10660 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10661 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10662 [Bodo Moeller]
10663
10664 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10665 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10666 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10670 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10671 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10672 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10673 such programs?)
10674 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10675 need locks.
10676 [Bodo Moeller]
10677
10678 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10679 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10680 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10681 [Bodo Moeller]
10682
10683 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10684 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10685 appropriate.
10686 [Bodo Moeller]
10687
10688 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10689 for the encoded length.
10690 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10691
10692 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10693 [Steve Henson]
10694
10695 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10696 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10697 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10698 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10699 [Steve Henson]
10700
10701 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10702 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10703 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10704
10705 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10706 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10707 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10708 unusual formatting.
10709 [Steve Henson]
10710
10711 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10712 to use the new extension code.
10713 [Steve Henson]
10714
10715 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10716 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10717 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10718 constant.
10719 [Steve Henson]
10720
10721 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10722 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10723 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10724 [Bodo Moeller]
10725
10726 #if 0
10727 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10728 [Ben Laurie]
10729 #else
10730 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10731 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10732 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10733 #endif
10734
10735 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10736 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10737 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10738 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10739 [Ben Laurie]
10740
10741 *) DES library cleanups.
10742 [Ulf Möller]
10743
10744 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10745 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10746 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10747 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10748 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10749 of v2.0.
10750 [Steve Henson]
10751
10752 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10753 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10754 [Bodo Moeller]
10755
10756 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10757 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10758 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10759 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10760 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10761 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10762 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10763 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10764 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10765 [Steve Henson]
10766
10767 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10768 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10769 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10770 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10771 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10772 value doesn't matter.
10773 [Steve Henson]
10774
10775 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10776 support mutable.
10777 [Ben Laurie]
10778
10779 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10780 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10781 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10782 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10783
10784 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10785 [Ulf Möller]
10786
10787 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10788 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10789 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10790
10791 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10792 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10793
10794 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10795 [Ben Laurie]
10796
10797 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10798 [Ben Laurie]
10799
10800 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10801 [Ben Laurie]
10802
10803 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10804 [Bodo Moeller]
10805
10806
10807 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10808
10809 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10810
10811 *) Updated some demos.
10812 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10813
10814 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10815 [Wu Zhigang]
10816
10817 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10818 [Steve Henson]
10819
10820 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10821 [Steve Henson]
10822
10823 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10824 instead of using a fixed path.
10825 [Bodo Moeller]
10826
10827 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10828 [Andy Polyakov]
10829
10830 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10831 [Richard Levitte]
10832
10833
10834 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10835
10836 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10837 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10838 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10839
10840 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10841 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10842 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10843 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10844 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10845 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10846 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10847 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10848 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10849 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10850 [Steve Henson]
10851
10852 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10853 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10854 [Steve Henson]
10855
10856 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10857 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10858 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10859 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10860 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10861
10862 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10863 [Bodo Moeller]
10864
10865 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10866 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10867 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10868 [Steve Henson]
10869
10870 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10871 [Ben Laurie]
10872
10873 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10874 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10875 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10876 key elements as negative integers.
10877 [Steve Henson]
10878
10879 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10880 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10881
10882 *) VMS support.
10883 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10884
10885 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10886 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10887 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10888 [Steve Henson]
10889
10890 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10891 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10892 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10893 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10894 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10895 [Bodo Moeller]
10896
10897 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10898 [Ulf Möller]
10899
10900 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10901 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10902 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10903 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10904
10905 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10906 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10907 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10908
10909 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10910 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10911 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10912 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10913 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10914 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10915 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10916 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10917 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10918
10919 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10920 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10921 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10922 does not influence s as it used to.
10923
10924 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10925 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10926 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10927 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10928 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10929 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10930 [Bodo Moeller]
10931
10932 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10933 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10934 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10935 key type.
10936 [Steve Henson]
10937
10938 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10939 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10940 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10941 and 'x509').
10942 [Steve Henson]
10943
10944 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10945 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10946 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10947 extension option.
10948 [Steve Henson]
10949
10950 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10951 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10952 [Ben Laurie]
10953
10954 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10955 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10956
10957 *) Support Mingw32.
10958 [Ulf Möller]
10959
10960 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10961 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10962
10963 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10964 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10965
10966 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10967 [Ulf Möller]
10968
10969 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10970 [Anonymous]
10971
10972 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10973 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10974
10975 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10976 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10977 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10978 DER-encoded.)
10979 [Bodo Moeller]
10980
10981 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10982 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10983 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10984 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10985 now it really counts the depth.
10986 [Bodo Moeller]
10987
10988 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10989 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10990 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10991 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10992 didn't match the private key).
10993
10994 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10995 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10996 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10997 [Bodo Moeller]
10998
10999 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11000 [Ulf Möller]
11001
11002 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11003 David Harris.
11004 [Bodo Moeller]
11005
11006 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11007 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11008 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11009 [Bodo Moeller]
11010
11011 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11012 [Bodo Moeller]
11013
11014 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11015 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11016 such as /usr/local/bin.
11017 [Bodo Moeller]
11018
11019 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11020 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11021
11022 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11023 [Ulf Möller]
11024
11025 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11026 extension adding in x509 utility.
11027 [Steve Henson]
11028
11029 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11030 [Ulf Möller]
11031
11032 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11033 prototypes.
11034 [Steve Henson]
11035
11036 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11037 [Ulf Möller]
11038
11039 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11040 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11041 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11042 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11043 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11044 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11045 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11046 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11047 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11048 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11049 [Steve Henson]
11050
11051 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11052 [Bodo Moeller]
11053
11054 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11055 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11056 [Bodo Moeller]
11057
11058 *) Fix some race conditions.
11059 [Bodo Moeller]
11060
11061 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11062 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11063 [Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11066 [Ulf Möller]
11067
11068 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11069 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11070 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11071 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11072
11073 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11074 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11075
11076 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11077 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11078 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11079
11080 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11081 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11082
11083 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11084 [Ulf Möller]
11085
11086 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11087 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11088
11089 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11090 [Ulf Möller]
11091
11092 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11093 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11094
11095 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11096 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11097 [Steve Henson]
11098
11099 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11100 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11101 [Ben Laurie]
11102
11103 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11104 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11105 [Steve Henson]
11106
11107 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11108 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11109 [Steve Henson]
11110
11111 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11112 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11113 [Steve Henson]
11114
11115 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11116 support typesafe stack.
11117 [Steve Henson]
11118
11119 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11120 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11121
11122 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11123 old X509V3 handling code.
11124 [Steve Henson]
11125
11126 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11127 [Ulf Möller]
11128
11129 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11130 [Bodo Moeller]
11131
11132 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11133 [Ben Laurie]
11134
11135 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11136 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11137
11138 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11139 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11140 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11141 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11142 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11143 [Ben Laurie]
11144
11145 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11146 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11147 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11148 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11149 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11150
11151 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11152 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11153 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11155
11156 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11157 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11158 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11159 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11160
11161 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11162 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11163 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11164 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11165 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11166 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11167 [Bodo Moeller]
11168
11169 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11170 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11171 [Bodo Moeller]
11172
11173 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11174 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11175 [Ulf Möller]
11176
11177 *) Tweaks to Configure
11178 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11179
11180 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11181 yet...
11182 [Steve Henson]
11183
11184 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11185 [Ulf Möller]
11186
11187 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11188 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11189 [Ulf Möller]
11190
11191 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11192 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11193 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11194 [Bodo Moeller]
11195
11196 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11197 [Bodo Moeller]
11198
11199 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11200 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11201 [Steve Henson]
11202
11203 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11204 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11205 to library startup routines.
11206 [Steve Henson]
11207
11208 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11209 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11210 codes along the way.
11211 [Steve Henson]
11212
11213 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11214 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11215 objects to objects.h
11216 [Steve Henson]
11217
11218 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11219 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11220 [Steve Henson]
11221
11222 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11223 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11224
11225 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11226 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11227 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11228
11229 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11230 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11231 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11232
11233 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11234 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11235 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11236
11237
11238 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11239
11240 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11241 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11242 [Ben Laurie]
11243
11244 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11245 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11246 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11247 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11248 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11249
11250 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11251 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11252 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11253 document.
11254 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11255
11256 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11257 Malloc, Free.
11258 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11259
11260 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11261 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11262
11263 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11264 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11265 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11266 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11267
11268 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11269 [Ben Laurie]
11270
11271 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11272 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11273 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11274 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11278 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11279 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11280 [Steve Henson]
11281
11282 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11283 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11284 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11285 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11286 installed as `perl').
11287 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11288
11289 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11290 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11291
11292 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11293 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11294 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11295 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11296 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11297 [Steve Henson]
11298
11299 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11300 [Ben Laurie]
11301
11302 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11303 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11304 is horrible: I feel ill....
11305 [Steve Henson]
11306
11307 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11308 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11309 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11310 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11311 [Steve Henson]
11312
11313 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11314 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11315
11316 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11317 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11318 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11319 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11320
11321 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11322 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11323 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11324 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11325 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11326 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11327 openssl_bio.xs.
11328 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11329
11330 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11331 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11332
11333 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11334 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11335
11336 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11337 [Ben Laurie]
11338
11339 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11340 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11341 in CRLs.
11342 [Steve Henson]
11343
11344 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11345 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11346 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11347 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11348 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11349 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11350 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11351 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11352 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11353 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11354 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11355
11356 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11357 [Ben Laurie]
11358
11359 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11360 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11361 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11362 for linking it into DSOs.
11363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11364
11365 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11366 Fixed.
11367 [Ben Laurie]
11368
11369 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11370 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11371 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11372 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11373 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11375
11376 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11377 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11378 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11379 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11380 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11381 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11382 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11383
11384 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11385 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11386 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11387 encryption.
11388 [Ben Laurie]
11389
11390 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11391 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11392 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11393 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11394 [Steve Henson]
11395
11396 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11397 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11398 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11399 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11400 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11401 field as blank.
11402 [Steve Henson]
11403
11404 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11405 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11406 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11407 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11409
11410 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11411 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11412 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11413
11414 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11415 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11416
11417 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11418 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11419 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11420 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11421 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11425 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11426 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11427 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11428 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11429 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11430 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11431 [Ben Laurie]
11432
11433 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11434 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11435 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11436 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11437 [Ben Laurie]
11438
11439 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11440 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11441
11442 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11443 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11444 [Steve Henson]
11445
11446 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11447 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11448 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11449 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11450 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11451 (e.g. s_server).
11452 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11453 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11454 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11455 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11456 no way to reconfigure them.
11457 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11458 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11459 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11460 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11461 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11462 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11463
11464 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11465 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11466 recognized by the users.
11467 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11468
11469 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11470 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11471 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11472 already masked variable.
11473 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11474
11475 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11476 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11477
11478 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11479 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11480 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11481 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11482
11483 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11484 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11485 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11486
11487 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11488 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11489 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11490 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11491 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11492 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11493 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11494 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11495 now, too.
11496 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11497
11498 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11499 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11500 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11501
11502 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11503 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11504 config file.
11505 [Steve Henson]
11506
11507 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11508 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11509
11510 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11511 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11512 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11513 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11514 [Ben Laurie]
11515
11516 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11517 [Steve Henson]
11518
11519 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11520 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11521
11522 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11523 [Ben Laurie]
11524
11525 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11526 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11527 [Steve Henson]
11528
11529 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11530 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11531 [Steve Henson]
11532
11533 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11534 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11535 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11536 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11537 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11538 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11539 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11540 Ben Laurie]
11541
11542 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11543 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11544
11545 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11546 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11547 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11548 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11549 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11550
11551 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11552 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11553 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11554 [Steve Henson]
11555
11556 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11557 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11558 an example.
11559 [Steve Henson]
11560
11561 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11562 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11563 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11564
11565 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11566 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11567 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11568 build instructions.
11569 [Steve Henson]
11570
11571 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11572 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11573 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11574 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11575 [Steve Henson]
11576
11577 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11578 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11579 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11580 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11581 [Ben Laurie]
11582
11583 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11584 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11585 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11586 so it wasn't spotted.
11587 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11588
11589 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11590 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11591 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11592 vectors if you have them.
11593 [Ben Laurie]
11594
11595 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11596 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11597 [Ben Laurie]
11598
11599 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11600 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11601 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11602 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11603 If you do a:
11604 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11605 it will update them.
11606 [Steve Henson]
11607
11608 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11609 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11610 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11611 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11612 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11613 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11614 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11615 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11616
11617 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11618 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11619 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11620 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11621 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11622 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11623 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11624 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11625 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11627
11628 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11629 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11630 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11631 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11632 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11636 INTEGER code.
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11640 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11641
11642 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11643 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11644
11645 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11646 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11647 [Ben Laurie]
11648
11649 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11650 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11651
11652 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11653 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11654
11655 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11656 [Steve Henson]
11657
11658 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11659 few typos.
11660 [Steve Henson]
11661
11662 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11663 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11664 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11665 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11666
11667 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11668 [Steve Henson]
11669
11670 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11671 [Steve Henson]
11672
11673 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11674 [Steve Henson]
11675
11676 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11677 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11678 [Steve Henson]
11679
11680 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11681 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11682 CA extensions.
11683 [Steve Henson]
11684
11685 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11686 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11687 [Steve Henson]
11688
11689 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11690 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11691 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11692 [Steve Henson]
11693
11694 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11695 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11696 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11697 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11698 properly to be processed.
11699 [Steve Henson]
11700
11701 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11702 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11703 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11704 [Ben Laurie]
11705
11706 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11707 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11708
11709 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11710 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11711 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11712 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11713 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11714 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11715 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11716 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11717 or delete all the .err files.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11721 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11722 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11723 to regenerate it if needed.
11724 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11725 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11726
11727 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11728 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11729
11730 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11731 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11732 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11733 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11734 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11735 [Steve Henson]
11736
11737 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11738 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11739
11740 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11741 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11742
11743 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11744 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11745 error, but didn't set one).
11746 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11747
11748 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11749 [Ben Laurie]
11750
11751 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11752 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11753 [Steve Henson]
11754
11755 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11756 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11757
11758 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11759 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11760 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11761 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11762 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11763 OID is not part of the table.
11764 [Steve Henson]
11765
11766 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11767 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11768 [Ben Laurie]
11769
11770 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11771 [Ben Laurie]
11772
11773 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11774 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11775 was "1234").
11776 [Steve Henson]
11777
11778 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11779 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11780
11781 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11782 NULL pointers.
11783 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11784
11785 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11786 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11787
11788 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11789 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11790
11791 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11792 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11793
11794 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11795 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11796 [Ben Laurie]
11797
11798 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11799 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11800 [Steve Henson]
11801
11802 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11803 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11804
11805 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11806 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11807
11808 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11809 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11810
11811 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11812 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11813
11814 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11815 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11816 unused in the certificate verification process.
11817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11818
11819 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11820 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11824 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11825 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11826
11827 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11828 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11829 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11830 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11831 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11832
11833 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11834 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11835 [Steve Henson]
11836
11837 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11838 [Steve Henson]
11839
11840 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11841 [Paul Sutton]
11842
11843 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11844 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11845
11846 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11847 [Ben Laurie]
11848
11849 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11850 [Ben Laurie]
11851
11852 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11853 [Ben Laurie]
11854
11855 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11856 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11857 other error libraries.
11858 [Steve Henson]
11859
11860 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11861 [Steve Henson]
11862
11863 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11864 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11865 be read in.
11866 [Steve Henson]
11867
11868 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11869 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11870 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11871 the new set of documentation files.
11872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11873
11874 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11875 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11876 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11877 number of arguments.
11878 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11879
11880 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11881 [Ben Laurie]
11882
11883 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11884 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11885 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11886
11887 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11888 [Ben Laurie]
11889
11890 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11891 nextstep
11892 ncr-scde
11893 unixware-2.0
11894 unixware-2.0-pentium
11895 sco5-cc.
11896 [Ben Laurie]
11897
11898 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11899 before they are needed.
11900 [Ben Laurie]
11901
11902 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11903 [Ben Laurie]
11904
11905
11906 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11907
11908 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11909 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11911
11912 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11913 [Paul Sutton]
11914
11915 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11916 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11918
11919 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11920 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11921 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11922
11923 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11924 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11925 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11926
11927 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11928 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11929
11930 *) Updated the README file.
11931 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
