5 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
9 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
11 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
12 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
14 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
15 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
19 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
21 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
22 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
23 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
26 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
27 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
28 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
31 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
33 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
34 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
35 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
38 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
41 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
42 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
43 some broken encodings work correctly.
46 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
47 is also one of the inputs.
48 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
50 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
51 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
52 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
56 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
58 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
61 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
62 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
63 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
65 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
66 common in certificates and some applications which only call
67 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
71 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
72 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
73 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
74 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
76 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
78 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
79 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
80 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
81 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
82 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
83 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
84 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
85 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
87 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
88 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
89 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
91 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
93 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
94 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
96 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
97 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
100 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
101 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
102 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
105 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
106 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
107 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
108 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
109 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
110 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
113 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
114 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
115 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
118 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
119 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
120 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
121 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
122 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
123 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
127 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
128 change when encrypting or decrypting.
131 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
132 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
133 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
136 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
139 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
140 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
141 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
142 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
143 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
144 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
145 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
146 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
147 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
150 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
151 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
152 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
155 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
156 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
159 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
160 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
161 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
162 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
163 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
164 know what you are doing.
165 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
167 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
168 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
169 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
170 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
171 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
172 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
176 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
177 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
178 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
180 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
182 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
183 warnings in other configurations.
186 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
187 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
188 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
190 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
192 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
193 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
194 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
196 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
197 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
198 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
199 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
202 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
206 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
207 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
209 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
211 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
212 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
213 other than a simple chain.
214 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
216 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
217 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
218 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
219 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
222 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
223 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
224 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
225 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
226 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
227 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
228 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
229 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
230 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
232 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
233 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
234 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
235 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
236 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
237 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
239 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
241 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
242 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
245 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
246 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
249 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
251 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
253 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
254 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
255 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
256 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
257 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
261 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
263 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
264 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
265 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
266 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
268 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
269 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
270 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
271 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
273 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
274 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
275 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
278 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
279 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
283 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
284 to handle some structures.
287 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
289 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
291 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
294 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
297 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
300 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
301 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
305 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
307 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
309 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
311 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
314 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
315 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
316 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
317 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
319 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
320 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
322 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
323 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
326 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
327 s_client and s_server.
330 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
331 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
333 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
334 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
336 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
337 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
338 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
339 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
340 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
343 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
345 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
346 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
349 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
350 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
353 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
354 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
355 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
356 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
358 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
359 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
361 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
363 *) Various precautionary measures:
365 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
367 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
368 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
369 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
371 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
372 outside the expected range.
374 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
377 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
379 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
380 the load fails. Useful for distros.
381 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
383 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
386 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
389 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
391 This work was sponsored by Logica.
394 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
395 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
396 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
398 This work was sponsored by Logica.
401 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
402 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
403 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
407 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
409 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
410 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
411 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
412 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
414 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
415 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
418 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
420 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
421 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
422 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
424 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
426 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
427 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
428 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
429 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
432 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
433 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
434 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
435 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
436 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
437 invalid read after the end of 'db').
438 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
440 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
442 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
443 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
444 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
445 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
446 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
448 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
449 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
451 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
452 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
453 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
454 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
455 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
457 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
459 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
460 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
461 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
462 sets may exist with different names.
465 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
466 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
467 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
468 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
469 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
470 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
471 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
472 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
473 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
475 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
477 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
478 implemention in the following ways:
480 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
483 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
484 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
485 ignored for embedded content.
487 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
488 with the enable-cms configuration option.
491 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
492 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
493 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
494 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
496 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
497 uncompresses any data passed through it.
500 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
501 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
504 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
505 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
506 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
507 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
508 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
509 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
513 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
514 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
515 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
519 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
520 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
521 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
522 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
523 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
524 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
525 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
526 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
528 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
529 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
530 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
531 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
532 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
533 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
534 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
536 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
537 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
538 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
539 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
540 to s_client and s_server.
543 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
546 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
547 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
548 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
549 + Fix ia64 assembler code
550 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
552 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
554 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
555 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
556 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
557 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
558 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
559 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
560 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
561 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
564 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
565 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
566 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
569 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
570 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
571 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
574 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
575 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
578 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
579 protection in servers so again support should be possible
580 with no application modification.
582 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
583 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
585 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
586 or server extensions to be examined.
588 This work was sponsored by Google.
591 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
592 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
593 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
594 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
595 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
596 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
597 server_name extension.
599 New functions (subject to change):
602 SSL_get_servername_type()
605 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
607 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
608 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
609 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
610 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
611 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
613 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
615 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
616 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
617 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
618 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
619 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
620 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
623 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
625 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
628 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
631 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
632 (which previously caused an internal error).
635 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
638 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
639 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
641 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
642 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
643 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
645 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
646 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
647 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
648 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
650 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
651 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
652 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
655 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
656 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
657 information. For detailed background information, see
658 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
659 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
660 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
661 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
662 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
663 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
664 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
665 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
666 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
667 remove a conditional branch.
669 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
670 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
671 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
672 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
673 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
674 remains as a deprecated alias.
676 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
677 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
678 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
679 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
681 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
682 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
683 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
684 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
685 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
686 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
687 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
688 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
690 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
692 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
693 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
694 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
695 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
696 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
697 with applications using a single external cache for quite
698 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
699 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
700 in a different context.
703 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
704 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
705 authentication-only ciphersuites.
708 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
709 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
710 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
712 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
714 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
715 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
716 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
717 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
718 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
721 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
722 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
723 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
724 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
725 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
726 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
729 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
730 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
731 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
732 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
733 message has informed the client about his choice.)
736 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
737 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
739 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
740 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
741 Improve header file function name parsing.
744 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
745 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
748 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
750 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
751 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
752 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
754 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
755 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
757 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
758 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
760 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
761 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
762 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
764 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
765 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
766 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
767 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
768 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
769 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
770 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
771 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
772 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
774 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
775 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
776 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
777 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
778 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
780 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
781 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
782 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
783 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
784 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
785 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
786 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
787 multiple values to extend the available space.
791 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
793 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
794 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
796 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
799 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
800 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
801 undesirable limitations.
802 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
804 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
805 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
806 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
807 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
808 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
809 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
810 to avoid potential handshake problems.
813 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
815 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
816 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
817 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
819 The latter two were purportedly from
820 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
823 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
824 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
825 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
828 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
829 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
832 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
833 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
834 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
835 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
837 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
838 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
839 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
842 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
843 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
844 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
845 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
846 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
847 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
850 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
852 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
853 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
856 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
857 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
859 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
860 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
861 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
862 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
865 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
866 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
869 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
870 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
871 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
872 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
873 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
874 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
875 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
879 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
880 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
881 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
882 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
885 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
886 under VC++ build system.
889 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
890 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
893 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
895 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
896 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
897 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
898 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
899 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
901 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
902 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
903 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
905 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
908 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
909 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
912 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
913 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
915 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
918 *) Extended Windows CE support.
919 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
921 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
922 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
925 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
926 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
930 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
932 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
935 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
938 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
939 key into the same file any more.
942 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
945 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
946 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
948 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
949 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
952 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
953 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
954 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
955 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
956 this only applies when building 'shared'.
957 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
959 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
960 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
961 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
964 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
965 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
966 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
967 - add new function for parameter creation
968 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
969 BN_BLINDING parameters
970 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
971 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
972 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
976 *) Add support for DTLS.
977 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
979 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
980 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
983 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
984 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
987 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
988 the apps/openssl applications.
991 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
992 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
993 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
996 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
997 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
999 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1000 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1002 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1003 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1004 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1005 avoid this algorithm.)
1009 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1010 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1011 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1014 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1015 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1018 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1019 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1020 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1023 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1025 The blank line is mandatory.
1029 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1030 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1034 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1035 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1037 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1038 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1039 to support policy checking and print out.
1042 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1043 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1044 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1045 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1047 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1050 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1051 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1053 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1054 implementation contributed by IBM.
1055 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1057 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1058 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1059 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1060 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1062 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1063 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1065 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1066 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1067 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1068 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1069 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1070 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1073 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1074 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1075 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1076 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1077 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1078 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1079 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1082 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1085 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1086 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1087 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1088 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1089 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1090 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1091 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1092 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1095 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1096 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1097 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1098 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1101 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1104 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1107 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1108 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1109 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1110 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1111 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1112 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1113 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1116 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1117 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1120 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1121 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1122 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1125 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1126 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1127 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1131 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1132 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1135 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1136 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1137 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1138 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1141 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1142 initialised value as BN_new().
1143 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1145 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1148 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1149 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1150 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1151 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1152 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1153 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1154 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1155 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1156 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1157 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1158 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1159 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1160 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1161 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1162 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1164 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1165 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1166 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1167 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1170 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1171 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1172 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1173 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1174 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1175 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1176 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1177 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1178 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1181 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1182 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1183 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1184 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1185 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1186 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1187 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1190 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1191 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1192 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1193 these have been updated also.
1196 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1197 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1198 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1199 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1200 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1204 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1205 structure of type "other".
1208 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1209 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1210 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1211 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1212 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1213 situation in the script.
1214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1216 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1217 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1218 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1219 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1220 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1221 used as premaster secret.
1222 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1224 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1225 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1226 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1228 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1229 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1231 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1232 control of the error stack.
1235 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1238 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1239 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1240 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1241 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1244 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1245 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1246 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1249 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1250 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1251 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1255 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1256 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1257 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1258 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1261 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1262 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1263 the following flags are defined:
1265 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1266 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1267 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1270 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1271 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1272 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1273 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1277 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1278 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1279 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1280 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1281 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1284 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1285 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1286 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1289 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1290 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1291 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1292 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1293 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1294 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1297 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1301 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1304 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1307 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1310 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1311 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1312 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1313 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1314 default implementation more easily.
1317 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1321 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1322 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1325 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1326 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1327 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1328 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1330 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1331 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1332 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1333 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1336 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1337 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1341 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1342 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1343 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1344 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1345 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1346 scalar * generator).
1347 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1349 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1350 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1351 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1355 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1356 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1357 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1358 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1359 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1360 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1361 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1362 linker additions, eg;
1363 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1366 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1367 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1368 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1371 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1372 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1373 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1377 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1378 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1379 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1380 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1383 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1384 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1385 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1386 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1387 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1388 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1389 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1390 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1391 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1392 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1394 Example for using the new callback interface:
1396 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1400 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1402 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1403 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1404 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1405 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1406 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1407 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1412 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1413 available to TLS with the number defined in
1414 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1417 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1418 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1420 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1421 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1422 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1423 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1425 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1426 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1428 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1429 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1433 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1434 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1437 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1438 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1439 and a macro that behave like
1440 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1442 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1445 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1446 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1447 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1449 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1451 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1454 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1455 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1456 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1457 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1459 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1460 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1461 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1462 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1463 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1464 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1465 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1466 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1468 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1469 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1472 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1473 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1475 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1476 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1477 files while avoiding the low level API.
1479 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1480 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1481 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1482 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1484 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1485 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1486 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1487 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1488 instead of the low level API.
1491 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1492 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1493 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1494 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1495 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1498 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1499 down to the template encoder.
1502 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1503 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1506 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1507 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1508 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1509 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1511 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1512 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1514 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1515 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1517 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1518 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1521 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1522 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1523 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1526 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1527 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1529 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1530 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1532 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1533 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1536 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1540 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1541 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1542 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1543 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1544 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1545 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1547 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1548 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1551 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1552 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1553 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1554 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1555 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1556 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1557 various internal method names.)
1559 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1560 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1562 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1563 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1565 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1566 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1568 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1569 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1570 methods are undefined.
1572 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1573 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1575 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1576 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1577 length of the modulus.
1579 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1580 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1582 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1583 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1585 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1586 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1588 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1589 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1590 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1593 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1594 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1595 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1596 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1598 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1599 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1600 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1601 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1603 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1604 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1606 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1607 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1608 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1609 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1610 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1612 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1613 This applies to the following functions:
1618 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1619 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1621 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1622 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1626 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1631 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1633 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1634 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1635 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1636 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1637 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1639 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1640 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1642 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1643 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1644 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1646 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1647 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1649 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1650 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1651 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1652 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1653 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1655 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1657 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1658 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1659 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1660 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1661 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1662 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1663 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1664 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1665 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1666 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1667 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1668 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1670 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1673 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1674 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1675 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1676 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1678 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1679 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1680 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1681 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1686 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1687 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1688 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1689 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1690 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1692 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1693 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1694 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1695 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1696 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1697 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1698 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1699 adding different types of curves.
1700 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1702 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1703 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1704 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1707 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1708 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1710 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1711 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1712 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1713 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1715 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1717 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1718 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1720 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1721 library. Most notably,
1722 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1723 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1724 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1725 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1726 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1727 extracted before the specific public key;
1728 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1729 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1731 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1732 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1734 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1735 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1736 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1737 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1739 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1740 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1741 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1743 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1744 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1745 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1746 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1747 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1748 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1752 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1754 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1756 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1758 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1759 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1760 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1763 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1764 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1765 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1768 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1771 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1772 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1775 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1776 run algorithm test programs.
1779 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1782 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1783 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1784 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1785 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1786 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1789 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1790 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1793 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1795 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1796 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1797 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1799 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1800 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1802 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1803 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1805 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1806 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1807 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1809 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1810 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1811 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1812 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1813 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1814 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1815 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1818 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1820 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1821 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1823 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1824 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1825 undesirable limitations.
1826 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1828 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1830 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1831 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1832 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1834 The latter two were purportedly from
1835 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1838 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1839 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1840 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1843 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1844 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1847 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1849 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1850 module in FIPS mode.
1853 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1856 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1857 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1858 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1859 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1862 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1864 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1865 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1866 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1867 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1868 the difference induced by this change.
1871 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1873 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1874 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1875 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1876 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1877 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1879 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1880 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1881 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1883 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1884 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1887 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1888 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1889 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1890 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1894 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1895 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1896 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1897 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1898 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1900 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1901 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1902 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1903 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1904 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1905 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1907 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1909 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1910 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1911 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1912 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1913 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1916 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1920 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1921 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1922 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1925 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1926 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1927 structures constant.
1930 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1932 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1935 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1936 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1937 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1938 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1939 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1940 some needed definitions.
1943 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1946 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1947 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1948 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1949 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1952 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1954 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1955 server and client random values. Previously
1956 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1957 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1959 This change has negligible security impact because:
1961 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1964 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1967 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1968 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1971 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1974 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1976 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1979 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1980 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1981 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1983 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1986 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1987 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1990 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1991 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1992 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1994 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1997 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1998 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1999 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2003 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2004 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2005 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2006 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2008 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2009 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2010 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2011 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2015 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2017 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2018 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2019 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2020 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2021 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2024 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2027 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2028 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2030 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2031 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2032 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2033 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2034 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2035 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2036 rather than being initialized to 1.
2039 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2041 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2042 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2043 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2045 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2047 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2049 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2050 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2051 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2052 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2053 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2054 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2057 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2058 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2059 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2060 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2061 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2065 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2066 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2067 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2068 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2069 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2072 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2073 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2074 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2078 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2079 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2081 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2084 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2086 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2088 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2089 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2091 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2093 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2094 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2098 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2099 exiting on the first error in a request.
2102 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2103 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2107 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2108 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2109 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2110 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2112 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2113 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2116 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2117 blocks during encryption.
2120 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2121 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2122 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2123 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2127 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2128 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2129 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2130 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2131 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2135 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2137 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2138 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2139 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2140 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2143 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2144 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2145 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2146 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2147 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2149 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2150 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2151 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2152 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2153 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2154 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2155 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2156 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2157 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2160 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2161 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2162 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2163 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2166 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2167 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2170 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2172 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2173 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2174 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2175 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2176 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2178 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2179 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2180 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2182 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2183 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2184 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2185 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2186 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2188 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2189 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2190 used by default when no-err is given.
2193 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2194 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2196 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2197 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2198 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2199 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2200 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2202 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2203 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2204 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2205 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2207 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2209 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2211 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2213 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2214 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2215 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2216 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2220 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2221 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2223 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2224 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2227 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2228 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2229 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2230 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2233 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2234 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2235 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2236 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2237 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2238 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2239 followup to PR #377.
2242 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2243 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2246 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2247 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2248 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2253 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2256 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2257 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2258 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2259 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2261 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2266 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2270 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2271 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2272 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2273 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2274 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2275 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2277 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2278 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2279 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2280 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2281 have to be made anyway).
2284 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2285 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2286 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2289 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2290 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2291 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2294 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2295 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2296 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2298 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2299 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2300 edit numbers of the version.
2301 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]

2305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2307 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2310 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2311 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2314 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2315 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2317 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.

2320 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2321 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2323 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2324 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2326 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2328 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2330 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2331 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2332 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2334 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2335 representations in a platform independent manner.

2338 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2339 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

2347 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2349 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

2392 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

2396 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2399 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2400 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2402 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2403 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2405 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2406 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2407 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2408 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2410 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2411 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2412 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2414 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2415 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2416 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2417 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2419 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2420 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2421 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2424 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2425 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2426 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2427 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2428 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2429 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2430 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2431 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2434 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2435 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2436 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2439 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2440 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2441 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2442 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2443 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2445 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2446 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2448 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2449 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2452 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2453 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2454 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2455 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2456 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2457 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2460 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2461 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2462 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2465 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2466 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2469 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2470 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2471 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2472 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2473 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2474 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2475 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2478 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2479 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2480 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2481 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2482 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2483 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2486 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2487 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2488 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2489 declaration has been changed from
2492 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2493 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2494 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2495 has been changed into
2496 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2498 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2499 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2500 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2502 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2503 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2505 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2506 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2507 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2508 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2509 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2510 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2511 always load it have also been added.
2514 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2515 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2516 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2518 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2520 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2521 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2522 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2524 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2525 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2526 command line option can be used to specify an
2530 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2531 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2534 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2535 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2536 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2539 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2540 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2541 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2542 to work with the new engine framework.
2543 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2545 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2546 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2547 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2548 to work with the new engine framework.
2551 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2552 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2553 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2555 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2556 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2558 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2559 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2560 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2561 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2563 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2565 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2566 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2568 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2569 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2571 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2572 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2573 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2576 *) Add new functions
2578 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2579 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2580 These are similar to
2583 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2584 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2585 still in the error queue.
2586 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2588 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2590 default_algorithms = ALL
2591 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2594 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2597 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2600 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2601 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2602 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2603 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2605 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2606 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2608 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2609 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2611 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2612 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2615 *) New functions/macros
2617 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2618 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2619 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2620 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2622 to request calling a callback function
2624 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2625 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2627 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2628 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2629 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2630 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2631 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2632 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2633 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2634 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2635 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2636 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2638 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2639 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2642 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2643 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2644 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2645 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2646 the configuration scripts.
2648 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2649 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2650 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2652 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2653 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2655 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2656 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2657 when reusing an existing buffer.
2660 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2661 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2664 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2665 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2668 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2669 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2670 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2671 has the same effect.
2672 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2674 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2675 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2676 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2677 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2678 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2679 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2682 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2683 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2684 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2685 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2687 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2688 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2689 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2690 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2692 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2693 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2696 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2697 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2698 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2699 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2700 default), and then completely removed.
2703 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2704 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2705 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2706 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2707 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2708 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2709 particular extension is supported.
2712 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2713 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2716 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2717 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2718 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2719 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2720 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2721 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2722 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2723 requires the destination to be valid.
2725 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2726 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2729 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2730 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2731 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2734 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2735 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2737 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2738 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2739 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2740 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2741 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2742 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2743 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2744 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2745 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2746 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2747 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2748 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2749 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2750 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2751 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2752 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2753 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2754 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2755 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2759 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2762 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2763 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2764 become part of libeay.num as well.
2767 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2768 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2769 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2770 false once a handshake has been completed.
2771 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2772 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2773 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2774 client has followed the request.)
2777 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2778 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2779 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2780 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2782 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2783 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2784 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2787 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2790 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2791 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2792 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2795 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2796 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2799 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2800 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2801 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2802 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2805 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2806 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2807 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2808 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2809 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2810 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2813 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2814 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2815 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2816 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2817 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2818 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2819 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2820 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2823 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2824 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2827 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2830 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2831 md_data void pointer.
2834 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2835 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2836 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2837 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2838 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2839 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2842 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2843 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2844 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2845 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2846 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2847 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2848 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2849 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2850 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2851 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2852 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2853 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2854 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2855 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2856 rather than letting it slide.
2858 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2859 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2860 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2863 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2864 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2865 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2866 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2867 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2868 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2869 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2870 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2871 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2874 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2875 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2876 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2877 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2878 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2880 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2883 *) Add EVP test program.
2886 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2889 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2890 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2891 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2892 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2893 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2896 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2897 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2898 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2899 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2900 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2901 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2902 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2904 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2905 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2906 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2911 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2912 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2913 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2914 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2915 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2919 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2920 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2921 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2922 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2925 des_key_schedule ks;
2927 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2928 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2930 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2933 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2934 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2935 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2936 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2937 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2938 functions prevents this.
2941 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2944 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2945 correct _ecb suffix.
2948 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2949 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2950 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2951 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2952 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2955 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2958 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2959 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2960 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2961 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2963 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2964 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2966 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2967 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2968 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2969 via Richard Levitte]
2971 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2972 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2973 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2974 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2977 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2980 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2981 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2995 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2996 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2998 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2999 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3000 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3001 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3002 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3003 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3006 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3007 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3010 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3011 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3012 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3013 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3015 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3016 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3017 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3018 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3019 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3020 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3024 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3025 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3026 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3027 and interrupts/cancellations.
3030 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3031 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3034 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3035 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3036 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3038 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3039 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3043 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3044 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3045 than this minimum value is recommended.
3048 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3049 that are easily reachable.
3052 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3053 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3055 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3057 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3058 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3059 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3060 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3063 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3064 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3065 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3068 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3069 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3070 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3071 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3072 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3073 internally such as S/MIME.
3075 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3076 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3077 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3079 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3083 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3084 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3085 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3086 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3088 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3090 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3092 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3093 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3094 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3098 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3099 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3100 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3101 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3102 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3103 a window system and the like.
3106 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3107 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3110 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3111 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3112 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3113 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3114 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3115 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3116 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3117 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3118 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3122 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3123 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3127 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3128 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3129 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3130 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3131 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3132 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3133 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3134 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3137 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3138 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3139 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3140 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3141 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3142 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3143 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3144 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3145 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3146 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3147 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3148 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3149 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3150 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3151 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3152 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3153 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3156 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3157 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3158 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3159 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3160 internal engine_int.h header.
3163 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3164 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3165 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3166 modify their own ones).
3169 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3170 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3171 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3172 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3173 later on via ctrl() commands.
3174 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3175 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3176 structural references.
3177 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3178 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3179 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3180 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3181 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3182 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3183 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3184 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3185 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3186 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3187 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3188 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3191 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3192 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3193 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3194 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3195 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3196 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3197 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3198 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3201 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3202 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3205 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3206 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3209 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3210 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3211 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3212 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3213 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3214 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3215 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3218 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3219 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3220 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3221 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3222 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3224 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3225 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3229 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3231 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3232 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3233 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3235 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3236 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3238 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3239 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3240 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3242 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3243 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3245 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3246 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3248 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3250 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3251 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3252 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3255 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3256 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3259 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3260 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3261 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3262 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3263 is 40 of more characters long.
3266 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3267 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3271 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3272 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3275 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3276 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3280 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3282 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3283 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3286 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3288 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3289 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3290 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3292 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3293 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3295 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3298 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3302 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3303 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3304 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3305 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3307 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3309 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3310 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3312 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3313 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3314 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3315 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3316 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3317 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3319 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3320 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3322 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3323 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3325 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3326 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3328 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3329 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3330 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3331 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3333 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3334 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3336 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3337 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3339 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3340 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3341 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3342 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3343 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3346 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3347 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3348 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3349 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3352 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3353 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3354 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3358 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3359 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3360 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3361 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3362 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3363 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3364 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3365 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3369 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3370 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3373 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3374 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3375 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3376 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3379 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3380 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3381 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3382 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3383 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3384 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3385 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3386 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3387 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3388 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3391 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3392 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3393 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3394 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3395 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3396 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3397 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3398 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3400 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3401 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3402 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3403 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3406 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3407 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3408 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3409 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3411 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3412 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3413 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3414 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3415 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3419 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3420 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3421 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3422 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3426 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3427 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3428 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3431 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3432 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3433 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3434 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3435 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3438 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3441 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3442 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3443 option to ocsp utility.
3446 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3447 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3448 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3449 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3450 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3451 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3452 the request is nonce-less.
3455 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3456 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3457 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3460 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3461 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3462 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3465 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3466 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3467 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3468 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3469 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3472 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3473 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3477 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3478 additional certificates supplied.
3481 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3482 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3486 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3487 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3490 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3491 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3492 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3493 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3494 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3495 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3496 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3497 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3498 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3500 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3501 request to response.
3504 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3505 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3506 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3507 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3508 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3509 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3510 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3511 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3512 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3513 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3514 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3517 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3518 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3519 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3520 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3523 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3524 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3526 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3527 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3528 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3531 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3532 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3533 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3534 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3535 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3537 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3538 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3539 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3542 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3543 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3544 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3545 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3546 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3547 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3548 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3549 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3551 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3552 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3553 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3554 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3555 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3556 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3559 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3560 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3561 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3562 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3563 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3564 printout format cleaned up.
3567 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3568 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3569 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3570 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3571 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3572 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3573 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3574 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3577 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3578 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3579 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3580 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3581 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3582 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3583 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3584 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3587 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3588 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3589 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3590 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3592 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3594 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3595 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3596 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3597 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3600 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3601 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3602 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3603 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3605 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3607 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3608 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3609 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3610 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3612 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3613 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3615 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3616 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3617 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3620 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3621 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3622 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3625 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3626 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3627 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3628 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3629 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3630 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3631 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3632 functions are provided:
3634 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3635 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3636 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3637 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3639 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3640 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3641 extended allocation function is enabled.
3642 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3643 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3644 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3646 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3647 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3648 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3649 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3650 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3653 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3654 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3655 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3657 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3658 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3659 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3662 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3663 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3664 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3665 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3666 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3667 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3668 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3669 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3670 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3673 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3674 provide utility functions which an application needing
3675 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3676 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3677 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3679 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3680 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3681 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3682 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3683 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3684 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3685 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3686 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3687 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3689 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3690 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3691 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3692 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3695 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3696 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3697 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3698 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3699 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3700 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3701 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3702 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3703 will be added elsewhere.
3706 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3707 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3708 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3709 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3712 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3713 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3714 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3715 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3716 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3717 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3718 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3719 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3720 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3721 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3722 to produce the required SET OF.
3725 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3726 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3727 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3730 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3731 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3732 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3733 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3734 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3735 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3738 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3739 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3740 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3743 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3744 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3745 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3748 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3749 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3750 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3751 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3752 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3755 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3756 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3759 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3760 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3761 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3762 certifcates and CRLs.
3765 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3766 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3767 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3770 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3771 entries for variables.
3774 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3775 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3776 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3777 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3780 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3781 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3782 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3783 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3784 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3785 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3788 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3789 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3791 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3792 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3793 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3796 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3800 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3801 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3802 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3803 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3804 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3805 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3808 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3811 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3812 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3813 for now but they will eventually go away.
3816 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3817 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3818 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3819 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3820 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3821 has also been converted to the new form.
3824 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3825 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3826 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3827 for negative moduli.
3830 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3831 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3834 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3838 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3839 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3840 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3841 type-specific callbacks.
3844 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3846 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3847 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3849 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3850 in sections depending on the subject.
3853 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3857 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3858 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3859 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3860 be handled deterministically).
3861 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3863 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3864 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3865 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3868 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3871 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3872 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3873 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3874 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3875 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3878 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3879 sign of the number in question.
3881 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3883 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3884 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3885 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3886 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3887 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3890 *) New function BN_swap.
3893 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3894 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3895 results on negative inputs.
3898 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3899 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3900 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3903 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3904 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3905 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3906 and add new functions:
3915 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3919 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3921 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3922 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3924 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3925 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3926 be reduced modulo m.
3927 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3930 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3931 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3932 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3934 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3935 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3936 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3937 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3938 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3939 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3944 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3945 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3946 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3947 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3948 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3950 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3951 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3952 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3956 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3959 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3960 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3963 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3964 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3965 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3966 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3970 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3973 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3976 *) Add the following functions:
3978 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3980 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3982 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3984 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3985 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3986 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3987 libraries unless it's really needed.
3989 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3990 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3991 declarations (they differed!).
3994 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3997 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4000 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4003 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4004 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4007 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4008 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4009 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4011 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4012 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4015 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4018 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4021 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4024 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4025 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4026 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4028 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4029 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4030 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4031 different shared library filenames on each system.
4034 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4037 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4038 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4039 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4041 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4044 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4045 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4046 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4047 binary backward compatibility.
4048 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4049 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4050 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4054 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4055 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4056 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4057 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4061 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4064 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4065 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4066 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4067 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4071 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4074 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4076 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4077 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4078 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4080 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4082 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4084 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4085 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4088 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4090 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4092 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4093 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4095 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4096 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4100 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4101 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4105 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4106 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4107 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4108 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4110 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4111 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4114 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4116 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4117 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4118 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4119 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4122 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4123 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4124 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4125 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4126 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4128 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4129 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4130 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4131 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4132 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4133 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4134 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4135 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4136 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4139 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4141 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4142 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4143 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4144 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4145 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4147 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4148 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4149 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4151 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4153 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4154 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4155 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4156 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4157 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4158 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4161 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4162 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4163 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4164 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4165 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4168 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4169 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4170 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4172 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4173 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4174 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4178 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4179 being properly terminated.
4182 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4183 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4184 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4185 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4187 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4188 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4189 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4190 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4191 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4192 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4193 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4195 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4197 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4198 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4201 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4202 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4203 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4204 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4205 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4206 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4207 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4208 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4210 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4211 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4212 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4213 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4214 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4216 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4217 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4220 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4222 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4223 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4224 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4226 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4228 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4229 and get fix the header length calculation.
4230 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4231 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4234 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4235 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4236 assertions could call abort()).
4237 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4239 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4241 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4242 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4243 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4245 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4247 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4248 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4249 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4252 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4256 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4257 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4258 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4260 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4261 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4262 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4263 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4264 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4268 *) Changes in security patch:
4270 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4271 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4272 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4275 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4276 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4277 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4278 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4279 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4281 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4285 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4286 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4287 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4289 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4290 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4291 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4293 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4294 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4297 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4299 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4300 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4301 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4303 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4304 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4306 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4307 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4308 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4309 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4310 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4311 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4314 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4315 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4316 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4317 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4320 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4323 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4324 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4325 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4326 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4327 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4328 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4330 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4331 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4332 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4333 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4334 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4337 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4338 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4339 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4340 BN_generate_prime().)
4342 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4343 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4344 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4348 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4349 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4352 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4353 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4354 when using non-blocking I/O.
4355 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4357 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4358 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4360 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4361 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4364 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4365 configuration for the versions before that.
4366 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4368 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4369 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4370 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4371 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4374 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4375 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4376 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4379 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4383 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4384 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4385 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4387 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4388 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4390 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4391 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4392 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4393 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4394 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4395 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4396 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4399 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4400 using a local variable.
4401 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4403 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4404 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4405 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4407 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4410 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4411 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4413 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4414 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4415 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4417 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4419 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4420 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4421 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4422 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4425 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4429 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4430 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4431 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4432 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4433 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4435 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4436 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4437 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4439 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4440 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4441 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4443 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4444 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4445 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4446 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4448 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4449 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4450 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4452 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4454 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4455 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4457 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4459 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4460 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4461 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4462 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4464 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4465 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4466 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4467 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4469 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4470 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4472 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4473 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4474 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4477 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4478 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4479 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4481 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4483 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4484 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4485 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4486 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4487 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4488 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4489 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4492 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4493 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4494 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4495 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4497 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4498 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4499 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4500 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4501 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4502 the client will at least see that alert.
4505 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4509 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4510 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4511 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4513 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4514 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4515 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4516 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4519 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4520 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4521 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4523 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4524 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4525 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4526 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4527 may leak via logfiles.)
4529 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4530 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4531 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4532 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4536 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4537 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4540 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4541 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4542 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4543 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4544 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4547 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4548 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4550 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4551 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4552 followed by modular reduction.
4553 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4555 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4556 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4559 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4560 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4561 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4562 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4565 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4568 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4569 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4572 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4573 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4574 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4575 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4576 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4577 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4579 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4581 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4582 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4583 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4584 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4585 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4587 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4590 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4591 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4592 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4593 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4594 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4595 to allow the necessary settings.
4598 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4599 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4600 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4601 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4604 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4605 dh->length and always used
4607 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4609 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4610 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4611 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4612 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4613 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4618 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4620 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4626 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4627 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4628 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4629 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4631 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4632 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4633 always reject numbers >= n.
4636 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4637 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4638 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4639 variable) is not atomic.
4642 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4643 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4644 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4645 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4647 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4648 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4650 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4652 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4654 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4657 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4659 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4660 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4661 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4662 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4663 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4664 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4665 to traverse all of 'state'.
4667 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4668 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4669 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4671 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4672 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4674 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4675 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4676 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4677 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4678 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4679 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4680 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4681 further strengthens the PRNG.
4684 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4687 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4688 an error message in this case.
4691 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4694 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4695 positive and less than q.
4698 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4699 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4701 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4703 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4704 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4708 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4710 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4711 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4712 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4713 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4714 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4715 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4716 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4719 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4720 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4721 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4722 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4724 Both problems are now fixed.
4727 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4728 (previously it was 1024).
4731 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4732 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4735 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4738 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4739 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4740 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4743 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4744 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4745 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4746 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4747 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4748 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4749 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4750 environment variables.
4752 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4753 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4754 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4757 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4758 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4759 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4760 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4761 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4762 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4765 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4769 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4771 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4772 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4774 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4775 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4776 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4777 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4781 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4782 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4783 amount of data available.
4784 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4785 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4787 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4788 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4789 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4790 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4793 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4794 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4798 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4799 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4800 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4801 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4804 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4807 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4810 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4811 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4813 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4815 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4816 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4817 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4818 (but broken) behaviour.
4821 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4823 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4825 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4826 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4829 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4833 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4834 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4836 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4839 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4840 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4841 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4843 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4844 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4845 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4848 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4849 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4852 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4853 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4855 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4857 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4859 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4860 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4861 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4862 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4865 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4868 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4869 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4870 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4872 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4875 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4877 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4878 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4879 but the code is actually correct.
4882 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4883 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4884 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4885 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4886 and leaves the highest bit random.
4887 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4889 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4890 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4891 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4892 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4893 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4894 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4895 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4898 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4901 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4902 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4905 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4906 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4907 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4908 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4912 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4913 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4914 and break the signature.
4916 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4918 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4922 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4923 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4924 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4925 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4926 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4929 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4930 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4932 *) ./config script fixes.
4933 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4935 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4938 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4939 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4940 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4941 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4942 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4944 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4945 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4948 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4949 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4952 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4953 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4954 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4955 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4957 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4958 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4960 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4961 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4962 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4963 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4964 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4966 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4969 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4972 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4975 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4978 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4979 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4982 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4983 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4984 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4985 result of the server certificate verification.)
4988 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4989 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4990 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4994 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4995 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4996 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4997 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4998 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4999 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5000 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5001 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5004 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5005 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5006 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5007 happening the other way round.
5010 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5011 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5014 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5015 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5016 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5017 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5020 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5021 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5023 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5025 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5026 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5027 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5030 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5032 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5034 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5038 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5040 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5041 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5042 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5043 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5044 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5046 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5047 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5051 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5054 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5056 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5057 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5058 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5059 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5060 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5061 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5062 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5063 by the Finished messages.
5066 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5067 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5069 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5070 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5071 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5072 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5073 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5077 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5078 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5079 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5080 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5081 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5082 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5083 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5084 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5085 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5089 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5090 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5091 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5092 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5094 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5095 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5096 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5097 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5098 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5101 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5102 been tested well enough.
5105 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5106 it can return incorrect results.
5107 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5108 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5111 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5112 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5113 include zero length content when signing messages.
5116 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5117 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5120 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5123 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5127 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5128 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5129 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5130 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5131 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5132 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5135 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5136 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5138 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5139 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5141 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5142 random number < q in the DSA library.
5145 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5146 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5147 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5148 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5149 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5150 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5151 just makes things more complicated.)
5154 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5158 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5159 work better on such systems.
5160 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5162 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5163 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5164 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5167 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5168 if there was more than one signature.
5169 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5171 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5172 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5173 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5174 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5177 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5178 rather than always using the current time.
5181 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5182 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5183 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5184 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5185 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5186 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5188 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5189 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5191 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5193 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5194 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5195 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5196 the same hash value.
5198 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5199 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5200 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5201 with X509_STORE internally.
5203 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5204 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5206 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5207 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5208 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5209 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5210 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5211 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5212 entirely (maybe later...).
5214 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5216 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5217 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5218 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5219 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5220 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5221 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5222 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5223 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5225 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5226 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5228 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5229 to customise the verify behaviour.
5232 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5233 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5236 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5237 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5238 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5239 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5240 request is improperly encoded.
5243 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5244 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5247 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5248 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5250 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5251 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5255 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5256 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5257 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5260 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5261 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5262 BIO/fp routines also added.
5265 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5266 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5268 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5269 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5270 demos/state_machine.
5273 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5274 generation and verification.
5277 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5278 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5279 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5280 encode and decode it manually.
5283 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5285 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5287 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5288 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5289 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5290 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5292 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5293 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5294 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5295 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5296 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5299 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5302 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5303 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5304 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5306 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5307 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5308 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5309 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5310 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5311 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5312 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5313 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5315 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5316 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5318 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5320 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5321 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5322 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5326 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5327 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5328 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5329 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5333 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5335 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5338 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5339 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5340 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5341 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5342 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5343 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5344 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5345 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5346 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5347 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5348 short or long names are found.
5351 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5352 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5354 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5355 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5356 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5357 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5359 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5360 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5361 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5362 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5365 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5366 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5367 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5370 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5371 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5372 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5373 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5374 to allow the various flags to be set.
5377 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5378 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5379 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5380 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5381 dates to be checked.
5384 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5385 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5386 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5389 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5390 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5391 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5394 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5395 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5398 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5399 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5400 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5401 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5402 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5403 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5406 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5407 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5411 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5415 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5416 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5417 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5418 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5419 form signing output easier to verify.
5422 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5425 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5426 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5427 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5428 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5429 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5430 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5431 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5432 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5433 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5434 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5437 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5439 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5440 the syntax given in objects.README.
5441 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5443 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5446 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5447 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5448 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5449 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5450 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5451 consistent name changes.
5454 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5457 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5458 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5459 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5460 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5463 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5464 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5465 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5469 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5470 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5471 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5472 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5475 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5476 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5477 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5478 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5479 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5480 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5481 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5482 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5483 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5484 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5485 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5488 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5489 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5490 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5491 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5492 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5493 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5494 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5495 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5496 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5497 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5500 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5501 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5502 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5503 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5505 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5506 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5507 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5508 omit any duplicate addresses.
5511 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5512 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5515 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5516 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5517 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5518 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5519 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5522 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5524 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5525 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5526 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5527 Free => OPENSSL_free
5530 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5531 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5534 *) CygWin32 support.
5535 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5537 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5538 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5539 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5540 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5541 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5545 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5546 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5547 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5548 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5549 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5550 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5551 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5554 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5555 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5556 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5557 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5558 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5559 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5560 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5561 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5562 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5563 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5564 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5567 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5568 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5569 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5570 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5571 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5573 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5574 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5575 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5576 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5577 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5579 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5582 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5583 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5584 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5585 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5587 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5589 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5592 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5593 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5594 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5597 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5598 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5599 any installed hardware versions can.
5602 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5603 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5604 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5608 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5609 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5610 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5611 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5612 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5614 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5615 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5618 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5619 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5622 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5623 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5624 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5628 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5631 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5632 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5633 but no ssl client purpose.
5634 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5636 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5637 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5638 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5639 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5640 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5641 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5642 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5643 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5644 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5645 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5646 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5649 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5650 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5651 be obtained from the error queue.
5654 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5655 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5656 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5657 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5660 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5663 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5664 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5665 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5666 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5667 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5670 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5671 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5672 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5673 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5674 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5677 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5678 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5679 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5681 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5683 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5684 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5685 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5686 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5687 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5688 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5689 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5690 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5691 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5692 or "the configuration storage API"...
5694 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5696 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5697 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5699 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5701 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5703 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5704 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5705 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5706 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5707 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5708 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5709 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5711 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5712 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5715 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5716 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5717 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5718 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5721 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5722 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5723 them in a portable way.
5724 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5726 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5728 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5730 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5731 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5733 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5734 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5735 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5738 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5739 was larger than the MD block size.
5740 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5742 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5743 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5744 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5745 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5749 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5750 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5751 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5753 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5755 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5757 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5758 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5759 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5760 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5761 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5762 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5764 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5765 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5767 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5768 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5771 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5774 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5775 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5777 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5778 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5779 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5780 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5783 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5784 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5785 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5786 does not suppress any output.
5789 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5790 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5791 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5792 with all the associated security issues.
5794 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5795 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5796 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5797 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5798 use the value in the default purpose.
5801 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5802 and fix a memory leak.
5805 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5806 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5807 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5808 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5811 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5812 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5813 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5814 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5817 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5818 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5819 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5822 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5823 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5826 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5827 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5831 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5832 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5835 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5836 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5837 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5840 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5841 number generation fails.
5844 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5847 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5848 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5850 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5853 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5854 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5856 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5857 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5859 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5861 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5862 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5865 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5866 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5868 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5869 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5872 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5873 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5874 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5875 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5876 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5877 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5879 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5880 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5881 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5885 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5886 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5887 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5888 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5889 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5890 counter, some don't.)
5891 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5892 counters or duplicate objects.
5895 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5896 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5899 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5900 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5901 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5903 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5904 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5905 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5909 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5910 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5913 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5914 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5915 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5919 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5920 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5921 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5924 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5925 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5926 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5927 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5928 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5929 should work without changes.
5932 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5933 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5934 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5935 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5936 must be defined. E.g.,
5937 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5938 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5939 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5940 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5942 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5946 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5947 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5948 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5951 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5952 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5953 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5954 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5957 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5958 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5959 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5960 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5961 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5962 is prompted for as usual.
5965 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5966 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5967 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5968 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5970 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5971 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5972 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5973 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5976 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5979 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5983 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5986 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5989 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5993 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5996 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5999 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6000 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6003 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6004 options to produce them.
6007 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6008 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6011 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6015 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6016 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6017 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6018 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6019 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6020 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6021 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6024 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6027 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6028 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6029 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6032 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6033 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6035 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6036 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6039 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6040 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6041 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6045 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6046 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6048 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6049 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6050 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6051 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6052 generation becomes much faster.
6054 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6055 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6056 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6057 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6058 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6059 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6060 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6061 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6062 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6063 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6066 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6067 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6068 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6069 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6070 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6071 trial division stage.
6074 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6078 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6081 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6084 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6085 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6086 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6090 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6091 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6092 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6095 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6096 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6097 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6098 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6100 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6101 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6104 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6107 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6108 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6109 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6110 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6113 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6114 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6115 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6118 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6119 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6120 (instead of parameters) in future.
6123 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6124 when a new cipher list is set.
6127 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6128 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6131 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6132 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6133 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6135 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6136 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6137 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6138 an error is flagged.
6140 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6141 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6142 the readability was also increased :-)
6143 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6145 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6146 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6147 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6148 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6152 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6153 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6156 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6157 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6158 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6159 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6162 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6163 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6164 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6165 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6166 because they handle more complex structures.)
6169 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6170 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6171 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6172 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6174 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6175 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6176 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6177 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6178 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6179 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6180 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6183 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6184 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6185 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6186 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6187 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6190 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6193 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6194 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6195 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6196 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6197 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6200 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6204 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6205 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6206 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6207 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6210 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6213 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6214 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6215 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6216 international characters are used.
6218 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6219 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6220 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6224 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6225 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6226 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6229 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6230 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6231 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6232 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6233 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6234 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6236 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6237 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6238 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6239 be handled by the string table functions.
6241 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6242 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6243 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6244 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6245 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6249 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6250 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6251 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6252 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6253 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6255 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6256 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6257 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6258 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6261 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6262 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6263 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6264 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6265 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6269 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6270 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6271 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6272 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6273 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6274 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6275 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6276 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6278 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6279 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6280 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6283 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6284 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6285 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6286 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6287 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6288 support to pkcs8 application.
6291 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6292 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6293 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6294 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6295 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6296 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6299 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6300 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6301 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6302 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6303 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6307 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6308 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6309 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6310 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6314 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6315 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6316 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6317 and any application specific purposes.
6319 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6320 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6321 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6322 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6323 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6324 if the certificate is self signed.
6327 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6328 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6331 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6332 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6333 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6334 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6337 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6338 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6339 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6340 Update documentation.
6343 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6344 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6345 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6346 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6347 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6350 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6352 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6354 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6355 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6356 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6357 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6358 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6359 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6360 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6361 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6362 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6363 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6365 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6367 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6368 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6369 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6370 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6371 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6373 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6374 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6375 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6376 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6377 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6378 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6379 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6380 request additional information:
6381 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6382 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6384 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6385 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6386 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6389 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6390 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6393 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6396 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6397 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6399 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6400 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6401 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6405 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6406 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6407 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6409 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6410 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6411 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6412 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6413 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6414 included in OpenSSL.
6417 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6418 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6419 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6420 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6421 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6422 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6425 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6429 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6430 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6431 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6432 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6433 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6437 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6441 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6442 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6443 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6444 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6445 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6446 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6447 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6448 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6449 be maintained manually.
6451 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6452 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6453 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6454 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6455 work because people forget to call this function]
6456 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6457 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6458 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6461 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6462 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6463 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6464 should be discouraged from doing it.
6467 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6468 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6469 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6470 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6471 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6472 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6475 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6476 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6477 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6479 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6480 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6481 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6483 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6484 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6485 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6486 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6487 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6488 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6490 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6491 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6492 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6494 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6495 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6498 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6499 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6500 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6501 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6504 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6507 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6508 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6509 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6510 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6511 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6512 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6513 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6514 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6515 keys so we should be OK.
6517 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6518 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6519 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6520 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6521 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6522 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6523 stay in the name of compatibility.
6525 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6526 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6527 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6529 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6530 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6531 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6532 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6533 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6534 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6538 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6539 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6540 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6541 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6542 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6543 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6544 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6545 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6546 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6547 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6548 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6549 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6550 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6553 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6556 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6557 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6558 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6559 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6560 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6561 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6562 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6563 openssl verify ss.pem
6564 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6565 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6569 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6570 (and add it to external session representation).
6571 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6572 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6573 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6574 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6575 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6576 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6578 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6580 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6581 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6582 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6583 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6585 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6586 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6587 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6590 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6591 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6592 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6596 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6597 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6598 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6600 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6601 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6602 certificate auxiliary information.
6605 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6609 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6610 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6611 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6612 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6613 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6614 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6615 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6618 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6619 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6622 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6623 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6624 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6625 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6628 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6631 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6632 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6635 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6636 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6637 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6638 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6639 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6640 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6641 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6642 using the new 'x509' options.
6644 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6645 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6646 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6647 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6651 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6652 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6653 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6654 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6655 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6658 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6659 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6660 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6661 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6662 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6663 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6664 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6665 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6666 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6667 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6670 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6671 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6672 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6673 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6674 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6675 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6676 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6679 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6680 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6681 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6682 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6683 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6684 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6685 openssl.cnf for more info.
6688 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6689 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6690 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6691 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6692 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6693 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6694 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6695 md should be large enough anyway.
6698 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6699 for handling the random seed file.
6701 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6703 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6706 x509 (when signing).
6707 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6708 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6709 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6711 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6712 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6713 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6714 that support '-rand'.
6717 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6718 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6721 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6722 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6725 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6726 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6727 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6728 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6732 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6733 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6734 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6735 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6738 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6739 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6740 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6741 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6742 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6743 print out all the purposes.
6746 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6750 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6751 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6752 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6753 single function call.
6756 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6757 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6760 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6761 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6762 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6765 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6766 when producing the local key id.
6767 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6769 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6770 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6771 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6775 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6776 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6777 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6778 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6781 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6782 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6783 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6784 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6786 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6787 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6788 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6789 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6791 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6792 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6793 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6794 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6795 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6796 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6797 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6798 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6799 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6800 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6801 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6802 trivial: move one line.
6803 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6805 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6806 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6807 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6808 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6809 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6810 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6811 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6812 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6813 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6814 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6815 with an event loop for example.
6818 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6819 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6820 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6821 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6822 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6823 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6824 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6825 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6826 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6829 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6830 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6831 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6832 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6833 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6834 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6837 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6838 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6839 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6840 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6842 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6843 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6844 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6845 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6849 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6850 (still largely untested)
6853 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6854 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6857 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6858 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6861 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6862 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6863 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6866 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6867 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6868 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6869 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6870 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6873 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6876 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6877 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6878 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6879 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6880 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6884 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6885 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6888 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6891 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6892 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6893 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6894 are otherwise ignored at present.
6897 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6898 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6899 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6900 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6901 copied until the next read.
6904 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6905 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6906 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6909 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6910 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6911 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6912 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6913 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6914 associated functions.
6917 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6918 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6919 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6920 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6921 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6922 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6923 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6924 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6925 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6929 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6930 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6931 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6932 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6935 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6936 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6937 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6938 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6939 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6943 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6944 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6948 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6949 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6950 extensions to be obtained and added.
6953 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6954 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6957 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6959 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6962 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6963 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6965 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6969 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6970 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6971 DH parameters contain its length).
6973 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6974 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6975 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6976 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6977 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6978 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6979 utter importance to use
6980 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6982 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6983 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6984 attacks may become possible!
6987 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6990 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6991 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6994 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6995 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6996 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7000 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7001 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7002 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7003 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7004 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7005 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7006 private key operations.
7009 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7012 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7013 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7015 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7016 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7017 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7018 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7019 the password callback is called.
7020 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7022 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7024 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7025 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7026 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7027 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7028 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7029 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7032 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7033 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7034 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7035 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7036 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7037 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7040 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7043 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7044 delete an unused file.
7047 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7048 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7049 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7050 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7053 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7054 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7055 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7059 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7060 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7061 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7063 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7064 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7065 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7066 comparison" warnings.
7067 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7070 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7071 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7072 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7075 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7076 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7078 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7079 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7081 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7082 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7083 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7085 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7086 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7087 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7088 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7089 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7091 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7093 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7094 The interface is as follows:
7095 Applications can use
7096 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7097 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7098 "off" is now the default.
7099 The library internally uses
7100 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7101 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7102 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7104 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7105 even the default) are now avoided.
7107 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7108 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7109 than just having a counter.
7111 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7113 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7117 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7118 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7119 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7120 Initial "mode" flags are:
7122 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7123 a single record has been written.
7124 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7125 retries use the same buffer location.
7126 (But all of the contents must be
7130 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7133 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7134 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7136 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7137 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7138 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7141 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7142 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7144 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7146 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7147 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7148 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7149 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7151 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7152 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7154 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7155 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7156 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7157 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7158 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7159 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7162 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7163 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7164 necessary function names.
7167 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7168 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7169 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7170 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7173 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7174 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7175 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7178 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7179 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7180 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7181 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7183 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7187 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7188 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7189 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7192 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7193 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7197 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7198 for the encoded length.
7199 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7201 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7204 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7205 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7206 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7207 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7210 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7211 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7212 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7214 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7215 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7216 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7220 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7221 to use the new extension code.
7224 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7225 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7226 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7230 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7231 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7232 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7236 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7239 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7240 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7241 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7244 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7245 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7246 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7247 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7250 *) DES library cleanups.
7253 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7254 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7255 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7256 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7257 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7261 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7262 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7265 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7266 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7267 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7268 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7269 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7270 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7271 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7272 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7273 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7276 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7277 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7278 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7279 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7280 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7281 value doesn't matter.
7284 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7288 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7289 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7290 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7291 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7293 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7296 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7297 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7298 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7300 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7301 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7303 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7306 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7309 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7312 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7316 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7318 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7320 *) Updated some demos.
7321 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7323 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7326 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7329 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7332 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7333 instead of using a fixed path.
7336 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7339 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7343 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7345 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7346 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7347 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7349 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7350 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7351 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7352 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7353 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7354 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7355 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7356 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7357 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7358 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7361 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7362 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7365 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7366 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7367 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7368 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7369 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7371 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7374 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7375 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7376 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7379 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7382 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7383 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7384 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7385 key elements as negative integers.
7388 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7389 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7392 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7394 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7395 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7396 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7399 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7400 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7401 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7402 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7403 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7406 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7409 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7410 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7411 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7412 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7414 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7415 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7416 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7418 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7419 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7420 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7421 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7422 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7423 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7424 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7425 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7426 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7428 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7429 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7430 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7431 does not influence s as it used to.
7433 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7434 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7435 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7436 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7437 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7438 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7441 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7442 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7443 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7447 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7448 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7449 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7453 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7454 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7455 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7459 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7460 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7463 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7464 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7469 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7470 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7472 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7473 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7475 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7478 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7481 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7484 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7485 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7486 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7490 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7491 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7492 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7493 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7494 now it really counts the depth.
7497 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7498 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7499 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7500 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7501 didn't match the private key).
7503 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7504 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7505 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7508 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7511 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7515 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7516 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7517 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7520 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7523 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7524 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7525 such as /usr/local/bin.
7528 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7529 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7531 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7534 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7535 extension adding in x509 utility.
7538 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7541 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7545 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7548 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7549 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7550 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7551 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7552 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7553 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7554 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7555 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7556 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7557 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7560 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7563 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7564 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7567 *) Fix some race conditions.
7570 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7571 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7574 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7577 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7578 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7579 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7580 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7582 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7583 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7585 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7586 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7587 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7589 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7590 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7592 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7595 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7596 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7598 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7601 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7602 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7604 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7605 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7608 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7609 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7612 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7613 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7616 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7617 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7620 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7621 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7624 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7625 support typesafe stack.
7628 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7629 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7631 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7632 old X509V3 handling code.
7635 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7638 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7641 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7644 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7645 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7647 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7648 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7649 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7650 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7651 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7654 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7655 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7656 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7657 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7658 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7660 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7661 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7662 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7663 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7665 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7666 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7667 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7668 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7670 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7671 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7672 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7673 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7674 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7675 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7678 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7679 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7682 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7683 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7686 *) Tweaks to Configure
7687 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7689 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7693 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7696 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7697 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7700 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7701 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7702 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7705 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7708 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7709 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7712 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7713 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7714 to library startup routines.
7717 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7718 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7719 codes along the way.
7722 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7723 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7724 objects to objects.h
7727 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7728 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7731 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7732 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7734 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7735 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7736 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7738 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7739 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7740 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7742 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7743 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7744 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7747 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7749 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7750 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7753 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7754 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7755 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7756 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7757 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7759 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7760 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7761 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7763 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7765 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7767 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7769 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7770 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7772 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7773 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7774 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7775 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7777 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7780 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7781 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7782 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7783 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7786 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7787 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7788 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7791 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7792 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7793 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7794 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7795 installed as `perl').
7796 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7798 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7799 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7801 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7802 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7803 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7804 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7805 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7808 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7811 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7812 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7813 is horrible: I feel ill....
7816 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7817 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7818 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7819 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7822 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7825 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7826 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7827 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7830 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7831 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7832 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7833 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7834 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7835 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7839 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7840 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7842 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7843 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7845 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7848 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7849 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7853 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7854 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7855 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7856 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7857 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7858 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7859 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7860 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7861 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7862 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7863 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7865 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7868 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7869 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7870 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7871 for linking it into DSOs.
7872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7874 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7878 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7879 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7880 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7881 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7882 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7885 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7886 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7887 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7888 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7889 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7890 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7893 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7894 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7895 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7899 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7900 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7901 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7902 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7905 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7906 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7907 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7908 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7909 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7913 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7914 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7915 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7916 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7919 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7920 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7921 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7923 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7924 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7926 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7927 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7928 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7929 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7930 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7933 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7934 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7935 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7936 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7937 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7938 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7939 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7942 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7944 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7945 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7948 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7949 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7951 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7952 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7955 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7956 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7957 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7958 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7959 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7961 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7962 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7963 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7964 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7965 no way to reconfigure them.
7966 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7967 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7968 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7969 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7970 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7971 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7973 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7974 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7975 recognized by the users.
7976 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7978 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7979 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7980 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7981 already masked variable.
7982 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7984 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7985 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7987 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7988 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7989 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7990 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7992 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7993 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7994 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7996 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7997 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7998 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7999 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8000 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8001 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8002 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8003 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8005 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8007 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8008 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8009 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8011 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8012 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8016 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8017 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8019 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8020 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8021 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8022 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8025 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8028 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8029 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8031 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8034 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8035 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8038 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8039 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8042 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8043 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8044 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8045 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8046 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8047 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8048 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8051 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8052 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8054 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8055 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8056 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8057 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8058 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8060 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8061 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8062 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8065 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8066 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8070 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8071 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8072 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8074 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8075 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8076 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8080 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8081 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8082 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8083 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8086 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8087 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8088 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8089 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8092 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8093 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8094 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8095 so it wasn't spotted.
8096 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8098 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8099 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8100 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8101 vectors if you have them.
8104 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8105 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8108 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8109 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8110 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8111 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8113 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8114 it will update them.
8117 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8118 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8119 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8120 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8121 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8122 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8123 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8124 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8126 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8127 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8128 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8129 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8130 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8131 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8132 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8133 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8134 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8137 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8138 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8139 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8140 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8141 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8144 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8148 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8149 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8151 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8152 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8154 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8155 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8158 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8159 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8161 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8162 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8164 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8167 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8171 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8172 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8173 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8174 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8176 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8179 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8182 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8185 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8186 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8189 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8190 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8194 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8195 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8198 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8199 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8200 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8203 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8204 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8205 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8206 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8207 properly to be processed.
8210 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8211 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8212 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8215 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8216 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8218 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8219 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8220 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8221 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8222 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8223 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8224 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8225 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8226 or delete all the .err files.
8229 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8230 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8231 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8232 to regenerate it if needed.
8233 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8234 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8236 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8237 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8239 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8240 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8241 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8242 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8243 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8246 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8247 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8249 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8250 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8252 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8253 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8254 error, but didn't set one).
8255 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8257 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8260 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8261 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8264 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8265 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8267 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8268 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8269 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8270 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8271 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8272 OID is not part of the table.
8275 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8276 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8279 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8282 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8283 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8287 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8288 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8290 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8292 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8294 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8295 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8297 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8298 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8300 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8301 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8303 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8304 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8307 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8308 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8311 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8312 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8314 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8315 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8317 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8318 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8320 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8321 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8323 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8324 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8325 unused in the certificate verification process.
8326 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8328 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8329 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8332 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8333 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8334 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8336 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8337 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8338 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8339 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8340 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8342 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8343 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8346 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8349 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8352 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8353 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8355 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8358 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8361 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8364 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8365 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8366 other error libraries.
8369 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8372 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8373 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8377 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8378 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8379 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8380 the new set of documenation files.
8381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8383 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8384 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8385 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8386 number of arguments.
8387 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8389 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8392 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8393 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8394 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8396 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8399 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8403 unixware-2.0-pentium
8407 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8408 before they are needed.
8411 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8415 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8417 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8418 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8421 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8424 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8425 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8428 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8429 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8430 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8432 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8433 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8434 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8436 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8437 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8439 *) Updated the README file.
8440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8442 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8443 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8444 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8446 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8447 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8450 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8451 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8452 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8453 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8454 o removed obsolete TODO file
8455 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8458 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8459 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8460 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8461 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

8463 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8466 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8469 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8470 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8471 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8473 [The OpenSSL Project]
8476 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8478 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8481 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8484 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8485 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8488 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8489 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8493 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8495 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8497 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8500 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8503 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8506 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8509 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8512 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8515 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8518 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8521 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8524 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8527 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8530 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8533 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8536 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8539 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8542 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8545 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8548 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8549 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8550 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8553 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8554 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8557 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8560 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8563 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8564 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8567 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8570 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8573 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8574 bytes sent in the client random.
