10 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
13 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
14 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
15 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
16
17 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
18 original author does not agree with the license change.
19 [Rich Salz]
20
21 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
22 [Jon Spillett]
23
24 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
25 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
26 [Rich Salz]
27
28 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
29 without clearing the errors.
30 [Richard Levitte]
31
32 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
33 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
34 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
35 [Rich Salz]
36
37 *) Add SHA3.
38 [Andy Polyakov]
39
40 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
41 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
42 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
43 as a fallback).
44
45 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
46 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
47 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
48 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
49 [Richard Levitte]
50
51 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
52 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
53 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
54 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
55 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
56 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
57 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
58 [Richard Levitte]
59
60 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
61 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
62 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
63 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
64 [Richard Levitte]
65
66 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
67 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
68 error code calls like this:
69
70 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
71
72 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
73 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
74 affect new modules.
75 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
76
77 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
78 [Rich Salz]
79
80 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
81 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
82 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
83 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
84 [Richard Levitte]
85
86 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
87 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
88 than just the call where this user data is passed.
89 [Richard Levitte]
90
91 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
92 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
93 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
94
95 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
96 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
97 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
98 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
99 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
100 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
101 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
102 issues.
103 [Matt Caswell]
104
105 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
106 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
107 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
108 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
109 [Richard Levitte]
110
111 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
112 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
113 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
114
115 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
116 does for RSA, etc.
117 [Richard Levitte]
118
119 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
120 platform rather than 'mingw'.
121 [Richard Levitte]
122
123 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
124 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
125 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
126 certificates and CRLs.
127 [Paul Dale]
128
129 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
130 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
131 [Andy Polyakov]
132
133 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
134 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
135 [Richard Levitte]
136
137 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
138 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
139 which is the minimum version we support.
140 [Richard Levitte]
141
142 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
143 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
144 are no longer allowed.
145 [Emilia Käsper]
146
147 *) Add support for ARIA
148 [Paul Dale]
149
150 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
151 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
152 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
153 using "-servername".
154 [Matt Caswell]
155
156 *) Add support for SipHash
157 [Todd Short]
158
159 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
160 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
161 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
162 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
163 [Matt Caswell]
164
165 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
166 using the algorithm defined in
167 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
168 [Richard Levitte]
169
170 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
171 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
172
173 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
174 [Emilia Käsper]
175
176 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
177 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
178 [Rich Salz]
179
180
181 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
182
183 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
184
185 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
186 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
187 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
188 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
189 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
190 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
191 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
192 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
193 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
194 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
195 key that is shared between multiple clients.
196
197 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
198 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
199
200 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
201 (CVE-2017-3736)
202 [Andy Polyakov]
203
204 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
205
206 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
207 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
208 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
209
210 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
211 (CVE-2017-3735)
212 [Rich Salz]
213
214 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
215
216 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
217 platform rather than 'mingw'.
218 [Richard Levitte]
219
220 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
221 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
222 which is the minimum version we support.
223 [Richard Levitte]
224
225 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
226
227 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
228
229 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
230 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
231 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
232 and servers are affected.
233
234 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
235 (CVE-2017-3733)
236 [Matt Caswell]
237
238 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
239
240 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
241
242 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
243 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
244 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
245
246 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
247 (CVE-2017-3731)
248 [Andy Polyakov]
249
250 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
251
252 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
253 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
254 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
255 of Service attack.
256
257 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
258 (CVE-2017-3730)
259 [Matt Caswell]
260
261 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
262
263 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
264 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
265 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
266 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
267 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
268 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
269 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
270 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
271 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
272 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
273 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
274 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
275 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
276
277 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
278 (CVE-2017-3732)
279 [Andy Polyakov]
280
281 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
282
283 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
284
285 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
286 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
287 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
288
289 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
290 (CVE-2016-7054)
291 [Richard Levitte]
292
293 *) CMS Null dereference
294
295 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
296 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
297 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
298 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
299 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
300 affected.
301
302 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
303 (CVE-2016-7053)
304 [Stephen Henson]
305
306 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
307
308 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
309 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
310 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
311 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
312 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
313 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
314 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
315 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
316 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
317 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
318 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
319 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
320 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
321 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
322
323 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
324 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
325 providing reproducible case.
326 (CVE-2016-7055)
327 [Andy Polyakov]
328
329 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
330 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
331 [Richard Levitte]
332
333 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
334
335 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
336
337 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
338 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
339 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
340 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
341 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
342 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
343
344 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
345
346 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
347 (CVE-2016-6309)
348 [Matt Caswell]
349
350 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
351
352 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
353
354 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
355 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
356 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
357 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
358 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
359 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
360 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
361
362 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
363 (CVE-2016-6304)
364 [Matt Caswell]
365
366 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
367
368 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
369 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
370 Denial Of Service attack.
371
372 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
373 (CVE-2016-6305)
374 [Matt Caswell]
375
376 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
377 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
378
379 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
380 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
381 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
382 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
383 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
384 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
385 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
386 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
387 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
388 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
389 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
390 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
391 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
392 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
393 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
394
395 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
396 that the connection fails
397 or
398 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
399 very little free memory
400 or
401 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
402 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
403 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
404 memory to service the multiple requests.
405
406 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
407 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
408 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
409 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
410 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
411
412 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
413 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
414 [Matt Caswell]
415
416 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
417 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
418 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
419 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
420 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
421 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
422 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
423 [Andy Polyakov]
424
425 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
426
427 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
428 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
429 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
430 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
431 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
432 non-ASCII password.
433 [Andy Polyakov]
434
435 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
436 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
437 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
438 [Rich Salz]
439
440 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
441 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
442 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
443 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
444 [Matt Caswell]
445
446 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
447 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
448 success.
449 [Matt Caswell]
450
451 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
452 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
453 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
454 no-ops and deprecated.
455 [Matt Caswell]
456
457 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
458 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
459 were also closed.
460 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
461
462 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
463 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
464 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
465 [Rich Salz]
466
467 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
468 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
469 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
470 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
471 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
472 and the validity of object reference counter.
473 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
474
475 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
476 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
477 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
478 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
479 [Richard Levitte]
480
481 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
482 [Richard Levitte]
483
484 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
485 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
486 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
487 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
488
489 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
490
491 [Richard Levitte]
492
493 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
494 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
495 [Steve Henson]
496
497 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
498 [Andy Polyakov]
499
500 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
501 [Rich Salz]
502
503 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
504 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
505 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
506 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
507 name and is used as is.
508 [Richard Levitte]
509
510 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
511 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
512 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
513 [Rich Salz]
514
515 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
516 the "no-shared" Configure option.
517 [Matt Caswell]
518
519 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
520 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
521 algorithms.
522 [Matt Caswell]
523
524 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
525 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
526 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
527 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
528 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
529 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
530 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
531 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
532 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
533 [Matt Caswell]
534
535 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
536 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
537 enabled with '--debug' builds.
538 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
539
540 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
541 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
542 these have been added.
543 [Matt Caswell]
544
545 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
546 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
547 functions for managing these have been added.
548 [Richard Levitte]
549
550 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
551 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
552 these have been added.
553 [Matt Caswell]
554
555 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
556 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
557 have been added.
558 [Matt Caswell]
559
560 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
561 [Matt Caswell]
562
563 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
564 [Richard Levitte]
565
566 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
567 it is always safe to #include a header now.
568 [Rich Salz]
569
570 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
571 [Richard Levitte]
572
573 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
574 [Rich Salz]
575
576 *) Add support for HKDF.
577 [Alessandro Ghedini]
578
579 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
580 [Bill Cox]
581
582 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
583 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
584 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
585 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
586 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
587 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
588 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
589 [Matt Caswell]
590
591 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
592 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
593 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
594 [Catriona Lucey]
595
596 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
597 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
598 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
599 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
600 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
601 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
602 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
603
604 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
605 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
606 [Todd Short]
607
608 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
609 [Todd Short]
610
611 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
612 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
613 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
614 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
615 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
616 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
617 default cipherlist.
618 [Emilia Käsper]
619
620 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
621 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
622 [Rich Salz]
623
624 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
625 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
626 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
627 [Matt Caswell]
628
629 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
630 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
631 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
632 implemented by other servers.
633 [Emilia Käsper]
634
635 *) Add X25519 support.
636 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
637 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
638 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
639 key generation and key derivation.
640
641 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
642 X25519(29).
643 [Steve Henson]
644
645 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
646 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
647 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
648 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
649 seed, even if the seed is configured.
650
651 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
652 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
653 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
654 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
655 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
656 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
657 that of a valid user.
658 [Emilia Käsper]
659
660 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
661 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
662 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
663 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
664
665 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
666 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
667
668 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
669 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
670 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
671 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
672
673 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
674 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
675 irrelevant.
676 [Richard Levitte]
677
678 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
679 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
680 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
681 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
682 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
683 of how OpenSSL was configured.
684
685 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
686 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
687 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
688 [Richard Levitte]
689
690 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
691 [Rich Salz]
692
693 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
694 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
695 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
696 removed.
697 [Richard Levitte]
698
699 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
700 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
701 old #define's might need to be updated.
702 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
703
704 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
705 [Rich Salz]
706
707 *) New "unified" build system
708
709 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
710 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
711
712 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
713 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
714 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
715
716 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
717 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
718 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
719 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
720 descrip.mms.tmpl.
721
722 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
723 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
724 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
725 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
726 libraries" in INSTALL.
727
728 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
729 [Richard Levitte]
730
731 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
732 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
733 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
734 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
735 [Matt Caswell]
736
737 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
738 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
739
740 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
741 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
742 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
743 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
744 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
745 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
746 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
747 have been adapted accordingly.
748 [Richard Levitte]
749
750 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
751 the leading 0-byte.
752 [Emilia Käsper]
753
754 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
755 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
756 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
757 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
758 [Emilia Käsper]
759
760 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
761 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
762 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
763 'unsigned char*'.
764 [Emilia Käsper]
765
766 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
767 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
768 [Emilia Käsper]
769
770 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
771 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
772 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
773 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
774 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
775 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
776 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
777
778 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
779 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
780
781 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
782 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
783 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
784 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
785 Text::Template.
786
787 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
788 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
789 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
790 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
791 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
792 %target).
793 [Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
796 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
797 straightforward and less interdependent.
798
799 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
800 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
801 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
802
803 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
804 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
805 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
806 installed.
807 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
808 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
809 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
810 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
811
812 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
813 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
814 [Richard Levitte]
815
816 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
817 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
818 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
819 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
820 is present).
821 [Matt Caswell]
822
823 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
824 configuring.
825 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
826
827 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
828 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
829 before trying to build now.*
830 [Rich Salz]
831
832 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
833 has changed.
834 [Rich Salz]
835
836 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
837
838 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
839 the application's responsibility. The application provides
840 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
841 used to authenticate the peer.
842
843 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
844 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
845 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
846 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
847 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
848 [Viktor Dukhovni]
849
850 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
851 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
852 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
853 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
854 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
855 or the 1.1.0 releases.
856
857 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
858 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
859 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
860 support for the deprecated features from the library and
861 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
862 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
863 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
864 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
865 version.
866
867 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
868 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
869 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
870 compile with later releases.
871
872 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
873 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
874 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
875 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
876 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
877 [Viktor Dukhovni]
878
879 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
880 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
881 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
882 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
883 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
884 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
885 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
886 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
887 [Kurt Roeckx]
888
889 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
890 [Andy Polyakov]
891
892 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
893 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
894 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
895 ECDSA_SIG format.
896
897 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
898 include the ec.h header file instead.
899 [Steve Henson]
900
901 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
902 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
903 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
904 [Kurt Roeckx]
905
906 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
907 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
908 were added:
909
910 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
911 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
912
913 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
914 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
915 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
916
917 Additional changes:
918 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
919 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
920 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
921 an already created structure.
922 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
923 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
924 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
925 for deprecated builds.
926 [Richard Levitte]
927
928 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
929 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
930 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
931 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
932 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
933 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
934 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
935 [Matt Caswell]
936
937 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
938 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
939 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
940 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
941 [Kurt Roeckx]
942
943 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
944 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
945 [Kurt Roeckx]
946
947 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
948 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
949 [Kurt Roeckx]
950
951 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
952 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
953 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
954 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
955 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
956 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
957 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
958 also been removed.
959 [Matt Caswell]
960
961 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
962 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
963 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
964 [Rich Salz]
965
966 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
967 [Rich Salz]
968
969 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
970 sureware and ubsec.
971 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
972
973 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
974
975 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
976 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
977
978 FOO *x;
979
980 it must be:
981
982 FOO x;
983
984 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
985 set a mandatory field to NULL.
986
987 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
988 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
989 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
990 SEQUENCE OF.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
994 [Emilia Käsper]
995
996 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
997 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
998 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
999 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1000 [Matt Caswell]
1001
1002 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1003 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1004 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1005 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1006 [Emilia Käsper]
1007
1008 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1009 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1010 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1011
1012 *) New testing framework
1013 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1014 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1015 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1016 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1017 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1018 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1019
1020 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1021
1022 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1023 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1024
1025 [Richard Levitte]
1026
1027 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1028 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1029 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1030 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1031 [Rich Salz]
1032
1033 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1034 return an error
1035 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1036
1037 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1038 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1039
1040 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1041 original RSA_PSK patch.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1045 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1046 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1047 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1048 [Matt Caswell]
1049
1050 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1051 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1052 [Richard Levitte]
1053
1054 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1055 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1056 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1057 [Emilia Käsper]
1058
1059 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1060 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1061 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1062 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1063 transferred.
1064 [Matt Caswell]
1065
1066 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1067 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1068 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1069 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1070 [Matt Caswell]
1071
1072 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1073 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1074 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1075 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1076 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1077 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1078 [Matt Caswell]
1079
1080 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1081 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1082 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1083 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1084 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1085 header file has been removed.
1086 [Matt Caswell]
1087
1088 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1089 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1090 [Matt Caswell]
1091
1092 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1093 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1094 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1095
1096 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1097 Added a test.
1098 [Rich Salz]
1099
1100 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1101 [Rich Salz]
1102
1103 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1104 sha256
1105 [Rich Salz]
1106
1107 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1108 [Matt Caswell]
1109
1110 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1111 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1112 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1113 [Steve Henson]
1114
1115 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1116 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1117 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1118 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1119 [Matt Caswell]
1120
1121 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1122 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1123 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1124 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1125 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1126 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1127 [Matt Caswell]
1128
1129 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1130 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1131 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1132 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1133 [Matt Caswell]
1134
1135 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1136 compatible client hello.
1137 [Kurt Roeckx]
1138
1139 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1140 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1141 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1142
1143 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1144 [Rich Salz]
1145
1146 *) Removed old DES API.
1147 [Rich Salz]
1148
1149 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1150 Sony NEWS4
1151 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1152 NeXT
1153 SUNOS
1154 MPE/iX
1155 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1156 DGUX
1157 NCR
1158 Tandem
1159 Cray
1160 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1161 [Rich Salz]
1162
1163 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1164 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1165 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1166 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1167 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1168 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1169 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1170 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1171 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1172 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1173 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1174 [Rich Salz]
1175
1176 *) Cleaned up dead code
1177 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1178 [Rich Salz]
1179
1180 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1181 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1182 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1183 [Rich Salz]
1184
1185 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1186 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1187 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1188 [Rich Salz]
1189
1190 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1191 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1192 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1193
1194 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1195 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1196 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1197
1198 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1199 compilation flags.
1200 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1201
1202 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1203 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1204 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1205
1206 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1207 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1208
1209 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1210 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1211 server.
1212
1213 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1214 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1215 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1216 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1217
1218 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1219 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1220 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1221 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1222
1223 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1224 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1225 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1226
1227 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1228 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1229 [Steve Henson]
1230
1231 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1232
1233 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1234 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1235
1236 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1237 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1238
1239 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1240 effect.
1241
1242 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1243
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1247 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1248 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1249 algorithms and include tests cases.
1250 [Steve Henson]
1251
1252 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1253 enveloped data.
1254 [Steve Henson]
1255
1256 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1257 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1258 [Steve Henson]
1259
1260 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1261 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1262
1263 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1264 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1265 [Steve Henson]
1266
1267 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1268 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1269 failures.
1270 [Steve Henson]
1271
1272 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1273 sign or verify all in one operation.
1274 [Steve Henson]
1275
1276 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1277 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1278 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1279 [Steve Henson]
1280
1281 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1282 [Steve Henson]
1283
1284 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1288 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1289 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1290 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1291 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1292 [Steve Henson]
1293
1294 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1295 based on NID.
1296 [Steve Henson]
1297
1298 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1299 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1300 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1301 [Steve Henson]
1302
1303 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1304 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1305
1306 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1307 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1308 [Steve Henson]
1309
1310 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1311 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1312 [Steve Henson]
1313
1314 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1315 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1316 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1317 [Steve Henson]
1318
1319 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1320 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1321 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1322 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1323 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1324 requested amount of entropy.
1325 [Steve Henson]
1326
1327 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1328 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1329 [Steve Henson]
1330
1331 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1332 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1333 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1334 support.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1338 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1339 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1340 [Steve Henson]
1341
1342 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1343 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1344 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1345 will never use XTS mode.
1346 [Steve Henson]
1347
1348 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1349 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1350 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1351 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1352 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1353 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1354 [Steve Henson]
1355
1356 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1357 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1358 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1359 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1360 [Steve Henson]
1361
1362 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1363 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1364 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1365 [Steve Henson]
1366
1367 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1368 [Steve Henson]
1369
1370 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1371 [Steve Henson]
1372
1373 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1374 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1375 [Steve Henson]
1376
1377 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1378 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1379 [Steve Henson]
1380
1381 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1382 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1383 [Steve Henson]
1384
1385 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1386 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1387 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1388 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1389 and rename any affected symbols.
1390 [Steve Henson]
1391
1392 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1393 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1394 [Steve Henson]
1395
1396 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1397 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1398 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1399 [Steve Henson]
1400
1401 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1402 [Steve Henson]
1403
1404 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1405 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1406 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1410 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1411 [Steve Henson]
1412
1413 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1414 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1415 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1416 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1417 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1418 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1419 set before the key.
1420 [Steve Henson]
1421
1422 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1423 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1424 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1425 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1426 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1427 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1428 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1429 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1430 [Steve Henson]
1431
1432 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1433 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1434 [Steve Henson]
1435
1436 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1437
1438 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1439 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1440
1441 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1442 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1443 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1444 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1445 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1446 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1447
1448 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1449 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1450 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1451 security.
1452 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1453
1454 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1455 parameters by name.
1456 [Steve Henson]
1457
1458 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1459 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1460 [Steve Henson]
1461
1462 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1463 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1464 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1465 [Steve Henson]
1466
1467 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1468 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1469 multi-process servers.
1470 [Steve Henson]
1471
1472 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1473 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1474 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1475 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1476 RAND_METHOD structure.
1477 [Steve Henson]
1478
1479 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1480 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1481 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1482 whose return value is often ignored.
1483 [Steve Henson]
1484
1485 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1486 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1487 validated when establishing a connection.
1488 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1489
1490 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1491
1492 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1493
1494 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1495 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1496 AES-NI.
1497
1498 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1499 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1500 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1501 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1502 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1503 bytes.
1504
1505 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1506 (CVE-2016-2107)
1507 [Kurt Roeckx]
1508
1509 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1510
1511 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1512 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1513 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1514 corruption.
1515
1516 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1517 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1518 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1519 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1520 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1521 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1522
1523 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1524 (CVE-2016-2105)
1525 [Matt Caswell]
1526
1527 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1528
1529 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1530 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1531 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1532 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1533 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1534 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1535 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1536 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1537 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1538 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1539 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1540 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1541 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1542 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1543 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1544 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

1547 (CVE-2016-2106)
1548 [Matt Caswell]
1549
1550 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1551
1552 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1553 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1554 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1555
1556 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1557 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1558 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1559 applications are not affected.
1560
1561 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1562 (CVE-2016-2109)
1563 [Stephen Henson]
1564
1565 *) EBCDIC overread
1566
1567 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1568 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1569 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1570
1571 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.

1580 default.
1581 [Kurt Roeckx]
1582
1583 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1584 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1585 [Kurt Roeckx]
1586
1587 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1588
1589 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1590 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1591 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1592 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1593
1594 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1595 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1596 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1597 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1598 will need to explicitly call either of:
1599
1600 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1601 or
1602 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1603
1604 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1605 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1606 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1607 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1608 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1609 (CVE-2016-0800)
1610 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1611
1612 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1613
1614 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1615 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1616 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1617 considered rare.
1618
1619 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1620 libFuzzer.
1621 (CVE-2016-0705)
1622 [Stephen Henson]
1623
1624 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1625
1626 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1627
1628 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1629 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1630 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1631 is configured.
1632
1633 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1634 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1635 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1636 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1637 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1638 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1639 that of a valid user.
1640 (CVE-2016-0798)
1641 [Emilia Käsper]
1642
1643 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1644
1645 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1646 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1647 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1648 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1649 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1650 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1651 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1652 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1653 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1654 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1655 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1656
1657 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1658 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1659 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1660 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1661 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1662
1663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1664 (CVE-2016-0797)
1665 [Matt Caswell]
1666
1667 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1668
1669 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1670 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1671 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1672
1673 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1674 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1675 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1676 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1677 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1678 also occur.
1679
1680 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1681 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1682 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1683 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1684 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1685 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1686 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1687 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1688 as command line arguments.
1689
1690 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1691 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1692 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1693
1694 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1695 (CVE-2016-0799)
1696 [Matt Caswell]
1697
1698 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1699
1700 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1701 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1702 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1703 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1704 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1705
1706 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1707 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1708 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1709 http://cachebleed.info.

1713 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1714 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1715 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1716 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1717 [Emilia Käsper]
1718
1719 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1720 *) DH small subgroups
1721
1722 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1723 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1724 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1725 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1726 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1727 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1728 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1729 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1730 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1731 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1732
1733 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1734 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1735 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1736 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1737 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1738
1739 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1740 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1741 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1742 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1743
1744 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1745 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1746
1747 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1748 (CVE-2016-0701)
1749 [Matt Caswell]
1750
1751 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1752
1753 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1754 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1755 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1756 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1757
1758 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram

1764
1765 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1766
1767 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1768 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1769 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1770 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1771 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1772 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1773 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1774 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1775 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1776 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1777 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1778 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1784 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1785
1786 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1787 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1788 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1789 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1790 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1791 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1792 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1793 authentication.

1802 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1803 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1804 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

1823 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1824
1825 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1826 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1827 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1828 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1829 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1830 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1846
1847 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1848 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1849 field.
1850
1851 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1852 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1853 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1854 client authentication enabled.

1860 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1861
1862 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1863 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1864 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1865 time string.
1866
1867 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1868 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1869 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1870 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1871 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1872 callbacks.

1883 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1884

1927 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1928
1929 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1930
1931 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1932 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1933 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1934 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1935 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1936 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1937 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1938 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1939
1940 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1941 (CVE-2015-0290)
1942 [Matt Caswell]
1943
1944 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1945
1946 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1947 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1948 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1949 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1950 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1951 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1952 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1953 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1954 server.

1960 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1961
1962 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1963 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1964 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1965 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1966 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1967 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1972
1973 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1974 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1975 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1976 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1977 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1978 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1979 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1983 [Stephen Henson]
1984
1985 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1986
1987 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1988 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1989 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1990
1991 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1992 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1993 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are

2002 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2003
2004 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2005 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2006 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2007
2008 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2009 (CVE-2015-0289)
2010 [Emilia Käsper]
2011
2012 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2013
2014 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2015 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2016 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2017
2018 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2019 (OpenSSL development team).
2020 (CVE-2015-0293)
2021 [Emilia Käsper]
2022
2023 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2024
2025 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2026 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2027 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2028 (CVE-2015-1787)
2029 [Matt Caswell]
2030
2031 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2032
2033 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2034 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2035 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2036 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2037 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2038 SSL_client_methodv23)
2039 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2040 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2041
2042 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2043 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2044 output may be predictable.
2045
2046 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2047 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2048
2049 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2050 (CVE-2015-0285)
2051 [Matt Caswell]
2052
2053 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2054
2055 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2056 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2057 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2058 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2059 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2060 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2061
2062 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2063 commit 517073cd4b.
2064 (CVE-2015-0209)
2065 [Matt Caswell]
2066
2067 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2068
2069 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2070 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2071
2072 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2073 (CVE-2015-0288)
2074 [Stephen Henson]
2075
2076 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2077 [Kurt Roeckx]
2078
2079 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2080
2081 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2082 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2083 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2084 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2085 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2086 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2087 [Andy Polyakov]
2088
2089 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2090 (other platforms pending).
2091 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2092
2093 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2094 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2095 [Rob Stradling]
2096
2097 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2098 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2099 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2100 [Bodo Moeller]
2101
2102 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2103 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2104 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2105 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2106 [Andy Polyakov]
2107
2108 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2109 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2110
2111 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2112 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2113 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2114 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2115 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2116
2117 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2118 [Andy Polyakov]
2119
2120 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2121 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2122 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2123 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2124
2125 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2126 RSAZ.
2127 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2128
2129 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2130 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2131 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2132 for TLS encrypt.
2133
2134 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2135 [Andy Polyakov]
2136
2137 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2138 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2139 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2140 [Steve Henson]
2141
2142 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2143 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2144 [Steve Henson]
2145
2146 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2147 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2148 [Steve Henson]
2149
2150 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2151 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2152 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2153 algorithms and include tests cases.
2154 [Steve Henson]
2155
2156 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2157 structure.
2158 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2159
2160 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2161 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2162 [Steve Henson]
2163
2164 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2165 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2166 summary of the connection parameters.
2167 [Steve Henson]
2168
2169 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2170 of connection parameters.
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2174 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2175
2176 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2177 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2181 [Steve Henson]
2182
2183 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2184 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2188 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2192 certificates.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2196 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2197 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2198 [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2201 [Steve Henson]
2202
2203 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2204 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2205 [Steve Henson]
2206
2207 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2208 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2209 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2210 tracing.
2211 [Steve Henson]
2212
2213 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2214 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2218 OID NID.
2219 [Steve Henson]
2220
2221 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2222 client to OpenSSL.
2223 [Steve Henson]
2224
2225 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2226 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2227 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2228 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2229 [Steve Henson]
2230
2231 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2232 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2236 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2237 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2238 comparison.
2239 [Steve Henson]
2240
2241 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2242 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2243 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2244 use the certificate.
2245 [Steve Henson]
2246
2247 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2251 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2252 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2253 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2254 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2255 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2256 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2257
2258 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2259 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2260
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2264 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2265 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2269 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2270 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2271 supported signature algorithms.
2272 [Steve Henson]
2273
2274 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2278 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2279 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2280 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2281 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2282 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2283 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2284 [Steve Henson]
2285
2286 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2287 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2288 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2289 to have similar checks in it.
2290
2291 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2292 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2293 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2294 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2295 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2296 [Steve Henson]
2297
2298 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2299 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2300 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2301 shared signature algorithms.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2305 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2306 to support them.
2307 [Steve Henson]
2308
2309 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2310 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2311 it couldn't be removed.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2315 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2319 functions. Add manual page.
2320 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2321
2322 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2323 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2324 a certificate.
2325 [Steve Henson]
2326
2327 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2328 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2329
2330 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2331 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2332 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2333 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2334 utility) or reject.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2338 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2342 platform support for Linux and Android.
2343 [Andy Polyakov]
2344
2345 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2346 [Andy Polyakov]
2347
2348 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2349 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2350 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2351 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2352 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2353 [Steve Henson]
2354
2355 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2356 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2357 the new parameter format automatically.
2358 [Steve Henson]
2359
2360 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2361 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2368 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2369 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2370 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2371 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2372 [Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2375 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2376 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2377 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2378 to set list of supported curves.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2382 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2383 to print out received values.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2387 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2388 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2392 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2393 [Steve Henson]
2394
2395 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2396 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2397 [Steve Henson]
2398
2399 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2400 certificates.
2401 [Steve Henson]
2402
2403 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2404 the certificate.
2405 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2406 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2407 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2408
2409 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2410
2411 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2412 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2413
2414 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2415
2416 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2417 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2418 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2419 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2420 (CVE-2014-3571)
2421 [Steve Henson]
2422
2423 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2424 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2425 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2426 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2427 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2428 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2429 (CVE-2015-0206)
2430 [Matt Caswell]
2431
2432 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2433 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2434 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2435 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2436 (CVE-2014-3569)
2437 [Kurt Roeckx]
2438
2439 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2440 ECDH ciphersuites.
2441
2442 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2443 reporting this issue.
2444 (CVE-2014-3572)
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2448 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2449 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2450 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2451 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2452 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2453 (CVE-2015-0204)
2454 [Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2457 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2458 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2459 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2460 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2461 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2462 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2463 this issue.
2464 (CVE-2015-0205)
2465 [Steve Henson]
2466
2467 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2468 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2469
2470 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2471 and can vary with the CTX.
2472 [Adam Langley]
2473
2474 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2475
2476 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2477 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2478 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2479 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2480 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2481
2482 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2483
2484 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2485 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2486
2487 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2488
2489 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2490 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2491 errors for some broken certificates.
2492
2493 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2494
2495 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2496
2497 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2498 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2499
2500 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2501 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2502 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2503 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2504
2505 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2506 of the OpenSSL core team.
2507
2508 (CVE-2014-8275)
2509 [Steve Henson]
2510
2511 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2512 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2513 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2514 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2515 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2516 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2517 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2518 the OpenSSL core team.
2519 (CVE-2014-3570)
2520 [Andy Polyakov]
2521
2522 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2523 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2524 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2525 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2526 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2527
2528 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2529 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2530 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2531 [Emilia Käsper]
2532
2533 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2534 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2535 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2536 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2537 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2538
2539 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2540 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2541 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2542 [Emilia Käsper]
2543
2544 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2545
2546 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2547
2548 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2549 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2550 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2551 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2552 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2553 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2554 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2555
2556 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2557 (CVE-2014-3513)
2558 [OpenSSL team]
2559
2560 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2561
2562 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2563 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2564 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2565 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2566 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2567 attack.
2568 (CVE-2014-3567)
2569 [Steve Henson]
2570
2571 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2572
2573 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2574 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2575 configured to send them.
2576 (CVE-2014-3568)
2577 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2578
2579 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2580 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2581 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2582 (CVE-2014-3566)
2583 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2584
2585 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2586
2587 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2588 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2589 DigestInfo structures.
2590
2591 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2592
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2596
2597 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2598 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2599 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2600
2601 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2602 Group for discovering this issue.
2603 (CVE-2014-3512)
2604 [Steve Henson]
2605
2606 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2607 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2608 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2609 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2610 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2611
2612 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2613 researching this issue.
2614 (CVE-2014-3511)
2615 [David Benjamin]
2616
2617 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2618 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2619 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2620 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2621
2622 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2623 issue.
2624 (CVE-2014-3510)
2625 [Emilia Käsper]
2626
2627 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2628 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2629 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2630 (CVE-2014-3507)
2631 [Adam Langley]
2632
2633 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2634 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2635 Denial of Service attack.
2636 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2637 (CVE-2014-3506)
2638 [Adam Langley]
2639
2640 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2641 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2642 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2643 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2644 this issue.
2645 (CVE-2014-3505)
2646 [Adam Langley]
2647
2648 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2649 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2650 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2651
2652 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2653 issue.
2654 (CVE-2014-3509)
2655 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2656
2657 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2658 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2659 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2660 Denial of Service attack.
2661
2662 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2663 discovering and researching this issue.
2664 (CVE-2014-5139)
2665 [Steve Henson]
2666
2667 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2668 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2669 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2670 output to the attacker.
2671
2672 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2673 (CVE-2014-3508)
2674 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2675
2676 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2677 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2678 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2679 [Bodo Moeller]
2680
2681 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2682
2683 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2684 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2685 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2686
2687 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2688 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2689 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2690
2691 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2692 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2693 in a DoS attack.
2694
2695 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2696 (CVE-2014-0221)
2697 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2698
2699 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2700 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2701 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2702 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2703
2704 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2705 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2706
2707 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2708 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2709
2710 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2711 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2712 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2715 compilation flags.
2716 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2717
2718 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2719 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2720 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2721
2722 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2723 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2724
2725 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2726
2727 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2728 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2729 server.
2730
2731 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2732 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2733 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2734 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2735
2736 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2737 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2738 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2739 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2740
2741 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2742 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2743 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2744
2745 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2746
2747 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2748 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2749 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2750 is at least 512 bytes long.
2751
2752 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2753
2754 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2755
2756 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2757 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2758 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2759 (CVE-2013-4353)
2760
2761 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2762 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2763 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2764 [Steve Henson]
2765
2766 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2767 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2768 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2769 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2770 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2771 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2772 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2773
2774 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2775
2776 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2777 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2778 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2779
2780 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2781
2782 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2783
2784 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2785 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2786 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2787
2788 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2789 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2790 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2791 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2792 (CVE-2013-0169)
2793 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2796 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2797 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2798 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2799 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2800 (CVE-2012-2686)
2801 [Adam Langley]
2802
2803 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2804 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2805 [Steve Henson]
2806
2807 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2808 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2809
2810 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2811 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2812 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2813 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2814 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2815
2816 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2817 [Steve Henson]
2818
2819 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2820 if renegotiating.
2821 [Steve Henson]
2822
2823 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2824
2825 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2826 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2827
2828 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2829 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2830 (CVE-2012-2333)
2831 [Steve Henson]
2832
2833 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2834 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2835 [Steve Henson]
2836
2837 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2838 approved.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2842
2843 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2844 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2845 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2846 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2847 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2848 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2849 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2850 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2851 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2852 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2853 [Steve Henson]
2854
2855 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2856 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2857 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2858 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2859 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2860 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2861 client side.
2862 [Andy Polyakov]
2863
2864 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2865
2866 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2867 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2868 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2869
2870 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2871 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2872 (CVE-2012-2110)
2873 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2874
2875 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2876 [Adam Langley]
2877
2878 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2879 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2880
2881 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2882 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2883 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2884 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2885 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2886 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2887 Most broken servers should now work.
2888 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2889 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2893 [Andy Polyakov]
2894
2895 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2896
2897 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2898 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2902 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2903 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2904 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2905 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2909 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2910 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2911 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2912 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2916 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2917
2918 *) Add support for SCTP.
2919 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2920
2921 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2922 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2923
2924 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2925
2926 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2927 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2928 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2929 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2930 - s390x: z196 support;
2931 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2932
2933 [Andy Polyakov]
2934
2935 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2936 (removal of unnecessary code)
2937 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2938
2939 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2940 [Eric Rescorla]
2941
2942 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2943 [Eric Rescorla]
2944
2945 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2946 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2947 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2948 by Google.
2949 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2950
2951 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2952 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2953 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2954 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2955 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2956
2957 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2958 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2959 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2960
2961 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2962 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2963 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2964
2965 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2966 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2967 implementations).
2968 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2969
2970 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2971 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2972 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2976 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2977 particular PSS.
2978 [Steve Henson]
2979
2980 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2981 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2982 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2986 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2987 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2988 the appropriate parameters.
2989 [Steve Henson]
2990
2991 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2992 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2993 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2994 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2995 against a number of sample certificates.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2999 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3000
3001 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3002 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3003
3004 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3005 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3006 parameters r, s.
3007 [Steve Henson]
3008
3009 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3010 RFC3211.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3014 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3015 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3016 password based CMS).
3017 [Steve Henson]
3018
3019 *) Session-handling fixes:
3020 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3021 but also support Session Tickets.
3022 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3023 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3024 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3025 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3026 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3027 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3028
3029 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3030 [Bodo Moeller]
3031
3032 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3033
3034 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3035 [Andy Polyakov]
3036
3037 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3038 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3039 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3040 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3041 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3045 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3046 [Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3049 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3050 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3051 [Steve Henson]
3052
3053 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3054 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3055 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3056 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3057 [Steve Henson]
3058
3059 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3060 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3061 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3062 [Steve Henson]
3063
3064 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3065 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3066
3067 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3071 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3072 [Steve Henson]
3073
3074 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3075 [Steve Henson]
3076
3077 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3078 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3079 [Steve Henson]
3080
3081 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3082 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3083 [Steve Henson]
3084
3085 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3086 [Steve Henson]
3087
3088 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3089 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3090 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3091 [Steve Henson]
3092
3093 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3094 [Steve Henson]
3095
3096 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3097 [Steve Henson]
3098
3099 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3100 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3101 [Steve Henson]
3102
3103 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3104 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3105 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3106 [Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3109 [Steve Henson]
3110
3111 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3112 and enable MD5.
3113 [Steve Henson]
3114
3115 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3116 FIPS modules versions.
3117 [Steve Henson]
3118
3119 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3120 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3121 until after the certificate request message is received.
3122 [Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3125 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3126 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3127 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3128 [Steve Henson]
3129
3130 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3131 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3132 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3133 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3134 [Steve Henson]
3135
3136 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3137 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3138 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3139 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3140 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3141 and version checking.
3142 [Steve Henson]
3143
3144 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3145 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3146 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3147 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Add SRP support.
3151 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3152
3153 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3154 [Steve Henson]
3155
3156 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3157 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3158 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3159
3160 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3161 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3162 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3166 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3169 a few changes are required:
3170
3171 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3172 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3173 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3174 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3175 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3176 [Steve Henson]
3177
3178 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3179
3180 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3181 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3182 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3183 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3184 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3185 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3186 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3187 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3188 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3192 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3193 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3197
3198 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3199 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3200 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3201 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3202 [Antonio Martin]
3203
3204 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3205
3206 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3207 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3208 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3209 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3210 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3211 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3212 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3213 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3214 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3215 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3216 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3217 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3218 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3219
3220 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3221 (CVE-2011-4576)
3222 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3223
3224 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3225 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3226 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3227 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3228
3229 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3230 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3231
3232 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3233 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3234 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3235 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3236
3237 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3238 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3239
3240 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3241 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3242
3243 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3244 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3245
3246 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3247 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3248 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3249
3250 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3251 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3252 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3253
3254 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3255 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3256 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3257 the last update always remained unused).
3258 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3259
3260 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3261 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3262
3263 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3264
3265 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3266 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3267 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3268
3269 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3270 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3271 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3272
3273 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3274 [Bodo Moeller]
3275
3276 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3277 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3278 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3282 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3283
3284 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3285
3286 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3287
3288 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3289
3290 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3291 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3292
3293 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3294 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3295 ambiguous.
3296 [Steve Henson]
3297
3298 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3299
3300 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3301 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3302 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3303 [Steve Henson]
3304
3305 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3306 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3307 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3308 [Ben Laurie]
3309
3310 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3311
3312 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3313 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3314 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3315 [Steve Henson]
3316
3317 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3318 a DLL.
3319 [Steve Henson]
3320
3321 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3322
3323 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3324 (CVE-2010-1633)
3325 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3326
3327 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3328
3329 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3330 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3331 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3338 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3339 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3340
3341 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3342 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3343 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3344 [Steve Henson]
3345
3346 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3347 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3351 some responders need this.
3352 [Steve Henson]
3353
3354 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3355 correctly.
3356 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3357
3358 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3359 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3360 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3364 [Steve Henson]
3365
3366 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3367 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3368 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3369 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3370 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3371 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3372 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3373 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3377 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3378 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3379 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3380
3381 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3382 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3383
3384 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3385 be used on C++.
3386 [Steve Henson]
3387
3388 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3389 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3390 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3391 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3392 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3393 attempting to work them out.
3394 [Steve Henson]
3395
3396 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3397 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3398 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3399 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3403 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3404 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3405 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3406 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3407 [Steve Henson]
3408
3409 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3410 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3411 you can do:
3412
3413 openssl sha256 foo
3414
3415 as well as:
3416
3417 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3418
3419 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3420
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3424 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3425
3426 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3427 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3428
3429 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3430 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3431 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3432 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3433 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3437 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3438 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3442 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3443 [Steve Henson]
3444
3445 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3446 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3447
3448 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3449 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3450 [Steve Henson]
3451
3452 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3453 [Ben Laurie]
3454
3455 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3456 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3457 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3458 CONF_VALUE.
3459 [Ben Laurie]
3460
3461 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3462 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3463 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3464 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3465 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3466 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3470 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.

3473 [Steve Henson]
3474
3475 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3476 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3477 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3478 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3479 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3480 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3481 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3482 default.

3485 [Steve Henson]
3486
3487 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3488
3489 This work was sponsored by Google.
3490 [Steve Henson]
3491
3492 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3493 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3494 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3495 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3496
3497 This work was sponsored by Google.
3498 [Steve Henson]
3499
3500 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3501 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3502 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3503 CRL functionality in future.
3504

3506 [Steve Henson]
3507
3508 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3509
3510 This work was sponsored by Google.
3511 [Steve Henson]
3512
3513 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3514 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3515
3516 This work was sponsored by Google.
3517 [Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3520 and URI types are currently supported.
3521
3522 This work was sponsored by Google.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3526 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3527 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3528 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3529 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3530 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3531 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3532 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3533
3534 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3535 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3536 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3537
3538 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3539 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3540 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3541 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3542
3543 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3544 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3545 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3546 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3547 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3548 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3549 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3550 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3551 of &errno.)
3552 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3553
3554 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3555 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3556 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3557
3558 This work was sponsored by Google.
3559 [Steve Henson]
3560
3561 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3562 [Ben Laurie]
3563
3564 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3565 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3566 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3567 [Ben Laurie]
3568
3569 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3570 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3571 [Nick Mathewson]
3572
3573 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3574 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3575 [Ben Laurie]
3576
3577 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3578 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3579 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3580 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3581 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3582 content types and variants.
3583 [Steve Henson]
3584
3585 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3586 [Steve Henson]
3587
3588 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3589 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3590 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3591 files from the associated perl scripts.
3592 [Steve Henson]
3593
3594 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3595 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3596 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3597
3598 *) s390x assembler pack.
3599 [Andy Polyakov]
3600
3601 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3602 "family."
3603 [Andy Polyakov]
3604
3605 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3606 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3607 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3608 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3609 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3610 to use. For example, specify an option
3611
3612 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3613
3614 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3615 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3616 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3617 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3618 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3619 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3620
3621 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3622 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3623 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3624 return non-zero for success.
3625
3626 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3627 by using
3628
3629 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3630 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3631
3632 where
3633
3634 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3635 void *arg;
3636
3637 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3638 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3639 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3640 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3641 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3642 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3643 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3644 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3645 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3646
3647 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3648 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3649 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3650 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3651 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3652 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3653
3654 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3655 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3656 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3657 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3658 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3659 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3660
3661 [Bodo Moeller]
3662
3663 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3664 MAC.
3665
3666 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3667
3668 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3669 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3670 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3671 supported.
3672
3673 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3674 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3675 SSL_SESSION.
3676
3677 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3678 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3679 with no application modification.
3680
3681 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3682 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3683
3684 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3685 or server extensions to be examined.
3686
3687 This work was sponsored by Google.
3688 [Steve Henson]
3689
3690 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3691 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3692 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3693
3694 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3695 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3696 ciphersuite support.
3697 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3698
3699 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3700 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3701 to output in BER and PEM format.
3702 [Steve Henson]
3703
3704 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3705 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3706 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3707 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3708 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3709 [Steve Henson]
3710
3711 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3712 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3713 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3714 utility.
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3718 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3719 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3720 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3721 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3722 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3723 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3724 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3725 enabled again.
3726
3727 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3728 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3729 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3730 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3731
3732 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3733 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3734 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3735 the default order.
3736 [Bodo Moeller]
3737
3738 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3739 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3740 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3741 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3742 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3743 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3744 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3745 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3746 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3747
3748 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3749 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3750 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3751 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3752 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3753 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3754 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3755 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3756 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3757 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3758 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3759 kinds of kludges.
3760
3761 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3762 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3763 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3764
3765 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3766 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3767 "CAMELLIA256".
3768 [Bodo Moeller]
3769
3770 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3771 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3772 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3773 [Nils Larsch]
3774
3775 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3776 it yet and it is largely untested.
3777 [Steve Henson]
3778
3779 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3780 [Nils Larsch]
3781
3782 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3783 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3784 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3785 [Steve Henson]
3786
3787 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3788 [Andy Polyakov]
3789
3790 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3791 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3792 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3793 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3794 [Steve Henson]
3795
3796 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3797 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3798 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3799 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3800 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3804 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3805 [Cryptocom]
3806
3807 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3808 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3809 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3810 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3814 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3815 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3816 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3817 [Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3820 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3821 [Steve Henson]
3822
3823 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3824 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3825 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3826 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3830 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3831 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3832 [Steve Henson]
3833
3834 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3835 utility.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3839 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3840 [Steve Henson]
3841
3842 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3843 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3844 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3845 if necessary.
3846 [Steve Henson]
3847
3848 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3849 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3850 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852
3853 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3854 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3855 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3856 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3857 [Steve Henson]
3858
3859 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3860 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3861 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3862 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3863 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3864 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3865 [Douglas Stebila]
3866
3867 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3868 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3869 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3870 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3871 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3872
3873 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3874 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3875 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3876 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3877 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3878 protocol).
3879
3880 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3881 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3882 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3883 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3884
3885 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3886 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3887 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3888 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3889 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3890
3891 aECDH - ECDH cert
3892 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3893 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3894
3895 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3896 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3897
3898 [Bodo Moeller]
3899
3900 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3901 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3902 [Steve Henson]
3903
3904 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3905 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3906 [Steve Henson]
3907
3908 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3909 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3910 functional reference processing.
3911 [Steve Henson]
3912
3913 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3914 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3915 process.
3916 [Steve Henson]
3917
3918 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3919 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3920 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3921 [Steve Henson]
3922
3923 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3924 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3925 application to support multiple signers.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3929 digest MAC.
3930 [Steve Henson]
3931
3932 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3933 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3934 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3935 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3936 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3940 new API.
3941 [Steve Henson]
3942
3943 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3944 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3945 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3946 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3947 a no op.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3951 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3952 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3953 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3954 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3955 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3956 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3957 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3958 [Steve Henson]
3959
3960 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3961 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3962 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3963 between digests and public key types.
3964 [Steve Henson]
3965
3966 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3967 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3968 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3969 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3973 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3974 key ASN1 method.
3975 [Steve Henson]
3976
3977 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3978 [Steve Henson]
3979
3980 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3981 pkeyutl.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3985 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3986 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3987 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3988 pkey, genpkey.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) BeOS support.
3992 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3993
3994 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3995 manual pages.
3996 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3997
3998 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3999 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4000 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4001 functionality for RSA.
4002 [Steve Henson]
4003
4004 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4005 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4006 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4007 [Steve Henson]
4008
4009 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4010 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4014 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4015 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4016 [Steve Henson]
4017
4018 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4019 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4020 [Douglas Stebila]
4021
4022 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4023 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4024 [Steve Henson]
4025
4026 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4027 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4028 type.
4029 [Steve Henson]
4030
4031 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4032 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4033 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4034 structure.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4038 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4039 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4040 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4041 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4042 of public and private key structures.
4043 [Steve Henson]
4044
4045 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4046 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4047 [Douglas Stebila]
4048
4049 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4050 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4051 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4052
4053 New ciphersuites:
4054 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4055 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4056
4057 New functions:
4058 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4059 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4060 SSL_get_psk_identity
4061 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4062
4063 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4064
4065 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4066 and response verification functionality.
4067 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4068
4069 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4070 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4071 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4072 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4073 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4074 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4075 server_name extension.
4076
4077 New functions (subject to change):
4078
4079 SSL_get_servername()
4080 SSL_get_servername_type()
4081 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4082
4083 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4084
4085 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4086 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4087 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4088 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4089 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4090
4091 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4092
4093 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4094 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4095 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4096 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4097 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4098 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4099 option.
4100
4101 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4102
4103 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4104 [Andy Polyakov]
4105
4106 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4107 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4108 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4109 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4110 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4111 [Andy Polyakov]
4112
4113 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4114 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4115 macro.
4116 [Bodo Moeller]
4117
4118 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4119 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4120 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4121 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4122 [Andy Polyakov]
4123
4124 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4125 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4126 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4127 using the maximum available value.
4128 [Steve Henson]
4129
4130 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4131 in addition to the text details.
4132 [Bodo Moeller]
4133
4134 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4135 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4136 handle several customised structures at all.
4137 [Steve Henson]
4138
4139 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4140 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4141 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4148 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4149 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4150 [Steve Henson]
4151
4152 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4153 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4154 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4155 [Nils Larsch]
4156
4157 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4158 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4159 all fields.
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4163 [Steve Henson]
4164
4165 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4166 [NTT]
4167
4168 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4169
4170 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4171 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4172 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4173 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4174 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4175 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4176 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4177 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4178
4179 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4180 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4181 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4182
4183 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4184
4185 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4186 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4187
4188 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4189 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4190 [Bodo Moeller]
4191
4192 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4193 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4194 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4195 [Steve Henson]
4196
4197 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4198 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4199 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4200 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4201 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4202 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4203 [Steve Henson]
4204
4205 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4206 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4207 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4208 [Steve Henson]
4209
4210 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4211 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4212 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4213 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4214 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4215 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4216 CVE-2009-4355.
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4220 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4221 [Bodo Moeller]
4222
4223 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4224 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4225 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4226 [Steve Henson]
4227
4228 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4229 [Steve Henson]
4230
4231 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4232 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4233 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4234 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4235 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4236 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4237 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4238 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4239 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4243 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4244 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4245 [Steve Henson]
4246
4247 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4248 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4249 [Steve Henson]
4250
4251 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4252 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4253 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4254 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4255 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4256 know what you are doing.
4257 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4258
4259 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4260 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4261 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4262 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4263 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4264 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4265 the handshake.
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4269 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4270 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4271 correctly.
4272 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4273
4274 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4275 warnings in other configurations.
4276 [Steve Henson]
4277
4278 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4279 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4280 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4281 systems need.
4282 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4283
4284 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4285 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4286 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4287
4288 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4289 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4290 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4291 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4292 [Steve Henson]
4293
4294 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4295 and restored.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4299 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4300 clash.
4301 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4302
4303 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4304 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4305 other than a simple chain.
4306 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4307
4308 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4309 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4310 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4311 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4315 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4316 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4317 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4318 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4319 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4320 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4321 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4322 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4323
4324 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4325 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4326 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4327 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4328 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4329 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4330 (CVE-2009-1377)
4331 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4332
4333 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4334 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4335 [Daniel Mentz]
4336
4337 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4338 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4339
4340 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4341 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4342
4343 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4344
4345 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4346 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4347 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4348 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4349 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4350 you're doing.
4351 [Ben Laurie]
4352
4353 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4354
4355 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4356 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4357 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4358 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4359
4360 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4361 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4362 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4363 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4364
4365 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4366 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4367 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4371 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4372 level.
4373 [Steve Henson]
4374
4375 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4376 to handle some structures.
4377 [Steve Henson]
4378
4379 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4380 for a '\n'
4381 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4382
4383 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4384 [Matthieu Herrb]
4385
4386 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4387 [Steve Henson]
4388
4389 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4390 [Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4393 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4394 chosen compiler.
4395 [Ben Laurie]
4396
4397 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4398
4399 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4400 (CVE-2008-5077).
4401 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4402
4403 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4404 [Ben Laurie]
4405
4406 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4407 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4408 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4409 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4410
4411 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4412 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4413
4414 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4415 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4416 [Bodo Moeller]
4417
4418 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4419 s_client and s_server.
4420 [Ben Laurie]
4421
4422 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4423 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4424
4425 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4426 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4427
4428 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4429 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4430 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4431 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4432 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4433 [Bodo Moeller]
4434
4435 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4436
4437 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4438 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4439 [PR #1679]
4440
4441 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4442 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4443 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4444
4445 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4446 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4447 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4448 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4449
4450 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4451 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4452
4453 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4454
4455 *) Various precautionary measures:
4456
4457 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4458
4459 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4460 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4461 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4462
4463 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4464 outside the expected range.
4465
4466 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4467 builds.
4468
4469 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4470
4471 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4472 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4473 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4474
4475 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4476 [Steve Henson]
4477
4478 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4479 [Huang Ying]
4480
4481 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4482
4483 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4487 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4488 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4489
4490 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4491 [Steve Henson]
4492
4493 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4494 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4495 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4496 files.
4497 [Steve Henson]
4498
4499 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4500
4501 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4502 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4503 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4504 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4505
4506 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4507 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4508 [Joe Orton]
4509
4510 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4511
4512 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4513 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4514 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4515
4516 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4517
4518 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4519 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4520 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4521 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4522 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4523
4524 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4525 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4526 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4527 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4528 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4529 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4530 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4531
4532 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4533
4534 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4535 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4536 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4537 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4538 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4539
4540 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4541 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4542
4543 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4544 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4545 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4546 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4547 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4548
4549 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4550
4551 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4552 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4553 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4554 sets may exist with different names.
4555 [Steve Henson]
4556
4557 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4558 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4559 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4560 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4561 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4562 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4563 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4564 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4565 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4566 implementation.
4567 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4568
4569 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4570 implementation in the following ways:
4571
4572 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4573 hard coded.
4574
4575 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4576 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4577 ignored for embedded content.
4578
4579 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4580 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4581 [Steve Henson]
4582
4583 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4584 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4585 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4586 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4587
4588 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4589 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4590 [Steve Henson]
4591
4592 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4593 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4594 [Steve Henson]
4595
4596 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4597 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4598 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4599 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4600 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4601 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4602 data.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4606 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4607 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4608
4609 *) Netware support:
4610
4611 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4612 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4613 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4614 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4615 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4616 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4617 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4618 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4619 platform
4620 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4621 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4622 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4623 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4624 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4625 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4626 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4627
4628 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4629 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4630 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4631 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4632 to s_client and s_server.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4636
4637 *) Fix various bugs:
4638 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4639 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4640 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4641 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4642 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4643
4644 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4645
4646 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4647 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4648 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4649 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4650 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4651 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4652 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4653 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4654 [Andy Polyakov]
4655
4656 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4657 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4658 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4659 Steve Henson]
4660
4661 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4662 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4663 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4664 supported.
4665
4666 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4667 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4668 SSL_SESSION.
4669
4670 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4671 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4672 with no application modification.
4673
4674 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4675 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4676
4677 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4678 or server extensions to be examined.
4679
4680 This work was sponsored by Google.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4684 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4685 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4686 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4687 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4688 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4689 server_name extension.
4690
4691 New functions (subject to change):
4692
4693 SSL_get_servername()
4694 SSL_get_servername_type()
4695 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4696
4697 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4698
4699 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4700 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4701 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4702 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4703 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4704
4705 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4706
4707 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4708 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4709 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4710 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4711 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4712 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4713 option.
4714
4715 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4716
4717 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4718 [Steve Henson]
4719
4720 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4721 [Andy Polyakov]
4722
4723 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4724 (which previously caused an internal error).
4725 [Bodo Moeller]
4726
4727 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4728 [Ben Laurie]
4729
4730 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4731 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4732
4733 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4734 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4735 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4736
4737 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4738 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4739 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4740 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4741
4742 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4743 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4744 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4745 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4746
4747 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4748 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4749 information. For detailed background information, see
4750 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4751 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4752 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4753 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4754 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4755 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4756 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4757 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4758 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4759 remove a conditional branch.
4760
4761 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4762 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4763 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4764 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4765 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4766 remains as a deprecated alias.
4767
4768 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4769 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4770 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4771 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4772
4773 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4774 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4775 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4776 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4777 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4778 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4779 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4780 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4781
4782 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4783
4784 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4785 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4786 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4787 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4788 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4789 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4790 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4791 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4792 in a different context.
4793 [Bodo Moeller]
4794
4795 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4796 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4797 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4798 [Bodo Moeller]
4799
4800 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4801 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4802 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4803
4804 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4805
4806 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4807 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4808 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4809 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4810 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4811 [Victor Duchovni]
4812
4813 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4814 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4815 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4816 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4817 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4818 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4819 [Bodo Moeller]
4820
4821 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4822 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4823 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4824 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4825 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4826 [Bodo Moeller]
4827
4828 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4829 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4830
4831 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4832 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4833 Improve header file function name parsing.
4834 [Steve Henson]
4835
4836 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4837 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4838 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4839
4840 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4841
4842 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4843 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4844 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4845
4846 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4847 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4848
4849 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4850 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4851
4852 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4853 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4854 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4855
4856 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4857 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4858 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4859 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4860 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4861 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4862 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4863 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4864 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4865
4866 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4867 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4868 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4869 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4870 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4871
4872 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4873 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4874 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4875 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4876 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4877 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4878 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4879 multiple values to extend the available space.
4880
4881 [Bodo Moeller]
4882
4883 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4884
4885 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4886 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4887
4888 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4889 [Ben Laurie]
4890
4891 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4892 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4893 undesirable limitations.
4894 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4895
4896 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4897 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4898 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4899 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4900 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4901 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4902 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4903 [Bodo Moeller]
4904
4905 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4906
4907 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4908 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4909 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4910
4911 The latter two were purportedly from
4912 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4913 appear there.
4914
4915 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4916 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4917 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4918 [Bodo Moeller]
4919
4920 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4921 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4922 [Bodo Moeller]
4923
4924 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4925 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4926 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4927 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4928
4929 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4930 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4931 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4932 [NTT]
4933
4934 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4935 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4936 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4937 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4938 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4939 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4943
4944 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4945 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4946 [Steve Henson]
4947
4948 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4949 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4950
4951 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4952 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4953 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4954 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4955 [Douglas Stebila]
4956
4957 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4958 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4959 [Steve Henson]
4960
4961 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4962 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4963 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4964 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4965 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4966 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4967 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4968 can't be loaded.
4969 [Steve Henson]
4970
4971 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4972 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4973 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4974 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4978 under VC++ build system.
4979 [Steve Henson]
4980
4981 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4982 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4983 [Richard Levitte]
4984
4985 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4986
4987 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4988 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4989 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4990 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4991 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4992
4993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4994 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4995 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4996
4997 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4998 [Steve Henson]
4999
5000 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5001 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5002 [Nils Larsch]
5003
5004 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5005 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5006
5007 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5008 [Nick Mathewson]
5009
5010 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5011 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5012
5013 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5014 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5015 [Steve Henson]
5016
5017 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5018 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5019 smime utility.
5020 [Steve Henson]
5021
5022 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5023
5024 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5025 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5026
5027 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5028 [Richard Levitte]
5029
5030 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5031 key into the same file any more.
5032 [Richard Levitte]
5033
5034 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5035 [Andy Polyakov]
5036
5037 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5038 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5039
5040 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5041 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5042 [Richard Levitte]
5043
5044 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5045 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5046 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5047 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5048 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5049 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5050
5051 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5052 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5053 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5054 [Steve Henson]
5055
5056 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5057 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5058 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5059 - add new function for parameter creation
5060 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5061 BN_BLINDING parameters
5062 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5063 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5064 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5065 threads.
5066 [Nils Larsch]
5067
5068 *) Add support for DTLS.
5069 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5070
5071 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5072 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5073 [Walter Goulet]
5074
5075 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5076 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5077 [Nils Larsch]
5078
5079 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5080 the apps/openssl applications.
5081 [Nils Larsch]
5082
5083 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5084 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5085 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5086 [Ben Laurie]
5087
5088 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5089 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5090
5091 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5092 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5093
5094 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5095 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5096 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5097 avoid this algorithm.)
5098
5099 [Bodo Moeller]
5100
5101 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5102 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5103 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5104 [Richard Levitte]
5105
5106 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5107 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5108 [Andy Polyakov]
5109
5110 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5111 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5112 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5113 pod file:
5114
5115 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5116
5117 The blank line is mandatory.
5118
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5122 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5123 sources.
5124 [Steve Henson]
5125
5126 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5127 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5128
5129 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5130 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5131 to support policy checking and print out.
5132 [Steve Henson]
5133
5134 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5135 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5136 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5137 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5138
5139 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5140 [Geoff Thorpe]
5141
5142 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5143 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5144
5145 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5146 implementation contributed by IBM.
5147 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5148
5149 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5150 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5151 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5152 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5153
5154 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5155 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5156
5157 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5158 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5159 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5160 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5161 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5162 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5163 [Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5166 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5167 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5168 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5169 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5170 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5171 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5172 [Geoff Thorpe]
5173
5174 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5175 [Steve Henson]
5176
5177 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5178 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5179 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5180 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5181 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5182 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5183 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5184 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5185 [Steve Henson]
5186
5187 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5188 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5189 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5190 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5191 [Steve Henson]
5192
5193 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5194 syntax:
5195
5196 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5197 [Steve Henson]
5198
5199 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5200 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5201 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5202 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5203 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5204 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5205 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5206 [Geoff Thorpe]
5207
5208 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5209 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5210 [Geoff Thorpe]
5211
5212 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5213 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5214 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5215 [Steve Henson]
5216
5217 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5218 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5219 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5220 below).
5221 [Geoff Thorpe]
5222
5223 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5224 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5225 [Richard Levitte]
5226
5227 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5228 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5229 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5230 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5231 [Geoff Thorpe]
5232
5233 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5234 initialised value as BN_new().
5235 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5236
5237 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5238 [Steve Henson]
5239
5240 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5241 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5242 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5243 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5244 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5245 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5246 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5247 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5248 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5249 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5250 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5251 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5252 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5253 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5254 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5255
5256 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5257 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5258 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5259 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5260 [Geoff Thorpe]
5261
5262 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5263 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5264 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5265 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5266 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5267 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5268 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5269 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5270 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5271 [Geoff Thorpe]
5272
5273 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5274 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5275 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5276 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5277 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5278 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5279 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5280 [Geoff Thorpe]
5281
5282 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5283 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5284 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5285 these have been updated also.
5286 [Geoff Thorpe]
5287
5288 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5289 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5290 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5291 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5292 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5293 functions.
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5297 structure of type "other".
5298 [Steve Henson]
5299
5300 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5301 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5302 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5303 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5304 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5305 situation in the script.
5306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5307
5308 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5309 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5310 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5311 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5312 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5313 used as premaster secret.
5314 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5315
5316 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5317 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5318 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5319
5320 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5321 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5322
5323 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5324 control of the error stack.
5325 [Richard Levitte]
5326
5327 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5328 [Richard Levitte]
5329
5330 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5331 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5332 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5333 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5334 [Richard Levitte]
5335
5336 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5337 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5338 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5339 [Richard Levitte]
5340
5341 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5342 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5343 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5344 a memory area.
5345 [Richard Levitte]
5346
5347 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5348 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5349 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5350 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5351 [Richard Levitte]
5352
5353 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5354 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5355 the following flags are defined:
5356
5357 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5358 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5359 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5360 number.
5361
5362 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5363 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5364 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5365 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5366 returns zero.
5367 [Richard Levitte]
5368
5369 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5370 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5371 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5372 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5373 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5374 [Richard Levitte]
5375
5376 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5377 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5378 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5379 [Richard Levitte]
5380
5381 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5382 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5383 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5384 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5385 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5386 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5387 [Richard Levitte]
5388
5389 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5390 req and dirName.
5391 [Steve Henson]
5392
5393 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5394 [Steve Henson]
5395
5396 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5397 [Steve Henson]
5398
5399 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5400 [Steve Henson]
5401
5402 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5403 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5404 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5405 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5406 default implementation more easily.
5407 [Geoff Thorpe]
5408
5409 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5410 in config files.
5411 [Steve Henson]
5412
5413 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5414 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5415 [Richard Levitte]
5416
5417 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5418 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5419 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5420 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5421
5422 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5423 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5424 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5425 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5426 [Steve Henson]
5427
5428 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5429 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5430 to do it.
5431 [Richard Levitte]
5432
5433 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5434 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5435 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5436 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5437 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5438 scalar * generator).
5439 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5440
5441 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5442 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5443 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5444 correctly.
5445 [Steve Henson]
5446
5447 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5448 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5449 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5450 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5451 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5452 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5453 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5454 linker additions, eg;
5455 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5456 [Geoff Thorpe]
5457
5458 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5459 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5460 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5461 [Geoff Thorpe]
5462
5463 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5464 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5465 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5466 via PR#459)
5467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5468
5469 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5470 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5471 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5472 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5473 [Geoff Thorpe]
5474
5475 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5476 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5477 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5478 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5479 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5480 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5481 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5482 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5483 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5484 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5485
5486 Example for using the new callback interface:
5487
5488 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5489 void *my_arg = ...;
5490 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5491
5492 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5493
5494 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5495 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5496 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5497 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5498 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5499 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5500 */
5501
5502 [Geoff Thorpe]
5503
5504 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5505 available to TLS with the number defined in
5506 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5507 [Richard Levitte]
5508
5509 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5510 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5511
5512 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5513 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5514 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5515 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5516
5517 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5518 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5519
5520 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5521 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5522 well.
5523 [Richard Levitte]
5524
5525 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5526 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5527 [Richard Levitte]
5528
5529 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5530 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5531 and a macro that behave like
5532 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5533
5534 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5535 [Nils Larsch]
5536
5537 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5538 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5539 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5540 if applicable.
5541 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5542
5543 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5544 [Bodo Moeller]
5545
5546 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5547 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5548 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5549 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5550 directory engines/.
5551 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5552 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5553 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5554 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5555 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5556 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5557 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5558 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5559
5560 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5561 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5562 [Richard Levitte]
5563
5564 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5565 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5566
5567 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5568 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5569 files while avoiding the low level API.
5570
5571 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5572 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5573 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5574 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5575
5576 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5577 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5578 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5579 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5580 instead of the low level API.
5581 [Steve Henson]
5582
5583 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5584 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5585 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5586 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5587 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5588 PKCS#7 code.
5589
5590 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5591 down to the template encoder.
5592 [Steve Henson]
5593
5594 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5595 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5596 [Bodo Moeller]
5597
5598 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5599 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5600 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5601 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5602
5603 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5604 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5605
5606 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5607 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5608
5609 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5610 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5611 [Bodo Moeller]
5612
5613 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5614 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5615 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5616 [Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5619 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5620
5621 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5622 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5623
5624 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5625 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5626 New EC_METHOD:
5627
5628 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5629
5630 New API functions:
5631
5632 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5633 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5634 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5635 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5636 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5637 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5638
5639 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5640 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5641 enable it).
5642
5643 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5644 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5645 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5646 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5647 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5648 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5649 various internal method names.)
5650
5651 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5652 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5653
5654 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5655 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5656
5657 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5658 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5659
5660 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5661 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5662 methods are undefined.
5663
5664 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5665 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5666
5667 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5668 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5669 length of the modulus.
5670
5671 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5672 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5673
5674 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5675 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5676
5677 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5678 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5679
5680 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5681 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5682 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5683
5684 BN_GF2m_add
5685 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5686 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5687 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5688 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5689 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5690 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5691 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5692 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5693 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5694
5695 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5696 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5697
5698 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5699 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5700 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5701 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5702 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5703 where
5704 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5705 This applies to the following functions:
5706
5707 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5708 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5709 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5710 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5711 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5712 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5713 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5714 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5715 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5716 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5717
5718 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5719
5720 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5721 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5722
5723 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5724
5725 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5726 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5727 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5728 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5729 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5730
5731 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5732 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5733
5734 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5735 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5736 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5737
5738 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5739 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5740
5741 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5742 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5743 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5744 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5745 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5746
5747 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5748 functions
5749 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5750 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5751 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5752 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5753 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5754 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5755 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5756 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5757 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5758 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5759 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5760 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5761
5762 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5763 functions
5764 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5765 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5766 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5767 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5768 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5769
5770 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5771 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5772 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5773 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5774
5775 *) Add functions
5776 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5777 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5778 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5779 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5780 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5781 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5782 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5783
5784 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5785 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5786 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5787 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5788 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5789 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5790 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5791 adding different types of curves.
5792 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5793
5794 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5795 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5796 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5797 [Bodo Moeller]
5798
5799 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5800 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5801
5802 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5803 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5804 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5805 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5806
5807 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5808
5809 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5810 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5811
5812 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5813 library. Most notably,
5814 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5815 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5816 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5817 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5818 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5819 extracted before the specific public key;
5820 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5821 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5822
5823 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5824 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5825 function
5826 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5827 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5828 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5829 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5830 accessed via
5831 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5832 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5833 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5834
5835 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5836 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5837 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5838 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5839 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5840 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5841 differing sizes.
5842 [Richard Levitte]
5843
5844 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5845
5846 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5847 sensitive data.
5848 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5849
5850 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5851 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5852 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5853 [Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5856 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5857 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5858 [Victor Duchovni]
5859
5860 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5861 [Steve Henson]
5862
5863 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5864 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5865 [Steve Henson]
5866
5867 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5868 run algorithm test programs.
5869 [Steve Henson]
5870
5871 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5875 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5876 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5877 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5878 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5879 [Bodo Moeller]
5880
5881 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5882 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5883 [Steve Henson]
5884
5885 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5886
5887 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5888 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5889 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5890
5891 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5892 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5893
5894 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5895 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5896
5897 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5898 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5899 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5900
5901 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5902 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5903 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5904 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5905 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5906 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5907 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5908 [Bodo Moeller]
5909
5910 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5911
5912 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5913 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5914
5915 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5916 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5917 undesirable limitations.
5918 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5919
5920 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5921
5922 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5923 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5924 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5925
5926 The latter two were purportedly from
5927 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5928 appear there.
5929
5930 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5931 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5932 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5933 [Bodo Moeller]
5934
5935 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5936 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5937 [Bodo Moeller]
5938
5939 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5940
5941 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5942 module in FIPS mode.
5943 [Steve Henson]
5944
5945 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5946 [Steve Henson]
5947
5948 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5949 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5950 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5951 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5952 [Steve Henson]
5953
5954 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5955
5956 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5957 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5958 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5959 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5960 the difference induced by this change.
5961 [Andy Polyakov]
5962
5963 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5964
5965 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5966 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5967 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5968 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5969 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5970
5971 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5972 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5973 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5974
5975 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5976 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5977 [Steve Henson]
5978
5979 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5980 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5981 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5982 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5983 biased k.)
5984 [Bodo Moeller]
5985
5986 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5987 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5988 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5989 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5990 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5991
5992 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5993 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5994 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5995 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5996 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5997 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5998
5999 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6000
6001 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6002 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6003 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6004 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6005 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6006 [Bodo Moeller]
6007
6008 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6009 clients need.
6010 [Steve Henson]
6011
6012 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6013 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6014 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6015 [Steve Henson]
6016
6017 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6018 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6019 structures constant.
6020 [Steve Henson]
6021
6022 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6023
6024 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6025 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6026
6027 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6028 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6029 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6030 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6031 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6032 some needed definitions.
6033 [Steve Henson]
6034
6035 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6036 [Ulf Möller]
6037
6038 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6039 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6040 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6041 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6042 [Richard Levitte]
6043
6044 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6045
6046 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6047 server and client random values. Previously
6048 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6049 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6050
6051 This change has negligible security impact because:
6052
6053 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6054 data.
6055
6056 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6057 handshake.
6058
6059 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6060 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6061 values.
6062
6063 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6064 to our attention.
6065
6066 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6067
6068 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6069 [Ulf Möller]
6070
6071 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6072 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6073 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6074
6075 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6076 [Steve Henson]
6077
6078 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6079 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6080 [Andy Polyakov]
6081
6082 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6083 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6084 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6085
6086 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6087 [Steve Henson]
6088
6089 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6090 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6091 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6092 certificates.
6093 [Steve Henson]
6094
6095 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6096 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6097 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6098 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6099
6100 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6101 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6102 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6103 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6104 been given)
6105 [Richard Levitte]
6106
6107 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6108
6109 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6110 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6111 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6112 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6113 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6114 [Steve Henson]
6115
6116 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6117 [Steve Henson]
6118
6119 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6120 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6121
6122 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6123 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6124 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6125 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6126 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6127 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6128 rather than being initialized to 1.
6129 [Steve Henson]
6130
6131 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6132
6133 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6134 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6135 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6136
6137 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6138 (CVE-2004-0112)
6139 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6140
6141 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6142 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6143 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6144 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6145 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6146 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6147 [Richard Levitte]
6148
6149 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6150 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6151 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6152 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6153 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6154 for these cases.
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6158 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6159 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6160 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6161 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6162 [Steve Henson]
6163
6164 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6165 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6166 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6167 < 0.9.7.
6168 [Steve Henson]
6169
6170 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6171 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6172
6173 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6174 [Steve Henson]
6175
6176 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6177
6178 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6179
6180 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6181 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6182
6183 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6184
6185 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6186 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6187
6188 [Steve Henson]
6189
6190 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6191 exiting on the first error in a request.
6192 [Steve Henson]
6193
6194 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6195 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6196 specifications.
6197 [Steve Henson]
6198
6199 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6200 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6201 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6202 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6203
6204 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6205 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6206 [Richard Levitte]
6207
6208 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6209 blocks during encryption.
6210 [Richard Levitte]
6211
6212 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6213 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6214 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6215 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6216 certain size.
6217 [Steve Henson]
6218
6219 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6220 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6221 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6222 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6223 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6224 parser.
6225 [Steve Henson]
6226
6227 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6228
6229 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6230 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6231 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6232 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6233 [Bodo Moeller]
6234
6235 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6236 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6237 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6238 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6239 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6240
6241 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6242 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6243 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6244 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6245 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6246 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6247 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6248 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6249 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6250 [Bodo Moeller]
6251
6252 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6253 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6254 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6255 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6256 [Geoff Thorpe]
6257
6258 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6259 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6260 [Ulf Moeller]
6261
6262 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6263
6264 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6265 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6266 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6267 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6268 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6269
6270 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6271 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6272 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6273
6274 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6275 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6276 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6277 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6278 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6279
6280 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6281 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6282 used by default when no-err is given.
6283 [Richard Levitte]
6284
6285 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6286 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6287
6288 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6289 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6290 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6291 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6292 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6293
6294 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6295 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6296 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6297 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6298
6299 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6300
6301 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6302
6303 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6304
6305 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6306 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6307 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6308 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6309 root is omitted).
6310 [Steve Henson]
6311
6312 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6313 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6314
6315 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6316 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6317 [Steve Henson]
6318
6319 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6320 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6321 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6322 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6323 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6324
6325 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6326 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6327 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6328 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6329 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6330 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6331 followup to PR #377.
6332 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6333
6334 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6335 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6336 [Andy Polyakov]
6337
6338 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6339 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6340 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6341 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6342
6343 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6344
6345 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6346 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6347
6348 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6349 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6350 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6351 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6352 client and server.
6353 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6354 PR #377.
6355 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6356
6357 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6358 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6359 removed entirely.
6360 [Richard Levitte]
6361
6362 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6363 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6364 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6365 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6366 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6367 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6368 of libcrypto.
6369 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6370 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6371 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6372 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6373 have to be made anyway).
6374 [Richard Levitte]
6375
6376 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6377 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6378 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6379 [Steve Henson]
6380
6381 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6382 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6383 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6384 [Richard Levitte]
6385
6386 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6387 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6388 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6389
6390 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6391 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6392 edit numbers of the version.
6393 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6394
6395 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6396 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6397 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6398
6399 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6400 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6401
6402 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6403 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6404 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6405
6406 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6407 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6408
6409 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6410 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6411
6412 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6413 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6414
6415 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6416 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6417
6418 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6419 overflows.
6420 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6421
6422 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6423 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6424 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6425
6426 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6427 representations in a platform independent manner.
6428 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6429
6430 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6431 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6432 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6433
6434 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6435 indents.
6436 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6437
6438 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6439 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6440
6441 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6442 full. Fixed.
6443 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6444
6445 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6446 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6447 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6448
6449 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6450 unconditionally).
6451 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6452
6453 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6454 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6455
6456 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6457 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6458
6459 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6460 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6461
6462 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6463 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6464
6465 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6466 CBCParameter.
6467 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6468
6469 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6470 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6471
6472 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6473 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6474
6475 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6476 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6477 exploitable.
6478 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6479
6480 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6481 the 0.9.6 release series:
6482
6483 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6484 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6485 (CVE-2002-0657)
6486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6487
6488 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6489 [Richard Levitte]
6490
6491 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6492 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6493
6494 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6495 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6496
6497 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6498 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6499 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6500 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6501
6502 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6503 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6504 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6505
6506 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6507 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6508 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6509 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6510
6511 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6512 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6513 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6514 some local tweaks:
6515
6516 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6517 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6518 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6519 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6520 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6521 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6522 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6523 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6524 done
6525
6526 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6527 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6528 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6529 [Richard Levitte]
6530
6531 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6532 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6533 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6534 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6535 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6536
6537 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6538 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6539
6540 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6541 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6542 [Richard Levitte]
6543
6544 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6545 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6546 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6547 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6548 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6549 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6550 [Steve Henson]
6551
6552 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6553 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6554 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6555 [Steve Henson]
6556
6557 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6558 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6559 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6560
6561 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6562 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6563 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6564 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6565 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6566 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6567 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6568 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6569
6570 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6571 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6572 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6573 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6574 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6575 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6576 [Steve Henson]
6577
6578 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6579 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6580 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6581 declaration has been changed from
6582 int (*cb)()
6583 into
6584 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6585 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6586 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6587 has been changed into
6588 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6589
6590 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6591 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6592 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6593
6594 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6595 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6596
6597 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6598 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6599 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6600 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6601 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6602 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6603 always load it have also been added.
6604 [Steve Henson]
6605
6606 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6607 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6608 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6609
6610 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6611
6612 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6613 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6614 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6615
6616 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6617 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6618 command line option can be used to specify an
6619 alternative file.
6620 [Steve Henson]
6621
6622 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6623 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6624 [Steve Henson]
6625
6626 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6627 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6628 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6629 [Steve Henson]
6630
6631 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6632 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6633 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6634 to work with the new engine framework.
6635 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6636
6637 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6638 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6639 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6640 to work with the new engine framework.
6641 [Richard Levitte]
6642
6643 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6644 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6645 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6646
6647 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6648 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6649
6650 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6651 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6652 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6653 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6654 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6655 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6656
6657 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6658 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6659
6660 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6661 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6662
6663 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6664 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6665 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6666 [Ben Laurie]
6667
6668 *) Add new functions
6669 ERR_peek_last_error
6670 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6671 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6672 These are similar to
6673 ERR_peek_error
6674 ERR_peek_error_line
6675 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6676 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6677 still in the error queue.
6678 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6679
6680 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6681 like:
6682 default_algorithms = ALL
6683 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6684 [Steve Henson]
6685
6686 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6690 [Steve Henson]
6691
6692 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6693 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6694 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6695 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6696
6697 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6698 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6699
6700 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6701 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6702
6703 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6704 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6705 [Bodo Moeller]
6706
6707 *) New functions/macros
6708
6709 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6710 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6711 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6712 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6713
6714 to request calling a callback function
6715
6716 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6717 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6718
6719 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6720 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6721 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6722 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6723 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6724 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6725 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6726 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6727 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6728 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6729
6730 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6731 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6732 [Bodo Moeller]
6733
6734 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6735 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6736 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6737 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6738 the configuration scripts.
6739
6740 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6741 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6742 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6743
6744 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6745 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6746
6747 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6748 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6749 when reusing an existing buffer.
6750 [Bodo Moeller]
6751
6752 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6753 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6754 [Steve Henson]
6755
6756 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6757 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6758 [Ben Laurie]
6759
6760 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6761 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6762 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6763 has the same effect.
6764 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6765
6766 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6767 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6768 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6769 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6770 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6771 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6772 exception.
6773
6774 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6775 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6776 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6777 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6778
6779 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6780 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6781 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6782 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6783
6784 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6785 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6786 won't work.
6787
6788 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6789 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6790 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6791 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6792 default), and then completely removed.
6793 [Richard Levitte]
6794
6795 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6796 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6797 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6798 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6799 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6800 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6801 particular extension is supported.
6802 [Steve Henson]
6803
6804 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6805 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6806 [Steve Henson]
6807
6808 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6809 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6810 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6811 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6812 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6813 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6814 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6815 requires the destination to be valid.
6816
6817 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6818 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6819 [Steve Henson]
6820
6821 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6822 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6823 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6824 [Bodo Moeller]
6825
6826 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6827 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6828
6829 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6830 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6831 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6832 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6833 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6834 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6835 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6836 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6837 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6838 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6839 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6840 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6841 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6842 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6843 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6844 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6845 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6846 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6847 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6848 the new code.
6849 [Geoff Thorpe]
6850
6851 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6852 [Steve Henson]
6853
6854 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6855 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6856 become part of libeay.num as well.
6857 [Richard Levitte]
6858
6859 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6860 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6861 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6862 false once a handshake has been completed.
6863 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6864 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6865 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6866 client has followed the request.)
6867 [Bodo Moeller]
6868
6869 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6870 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6871 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6872 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6873
6874 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6875 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6876 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6877 [Bodo Moeller]
6878
6879 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6880 [Steve Henson]
6881
6882 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6883 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6884 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6885 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6886
6887 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6888 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6889 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6890
6891 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6892 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6893 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6894 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6895 [Geoff Thorpe]
6896
6897 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6898 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6899 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6900 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6901 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6902 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6903 [Geoff Thorpe]
6904
6905 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6906 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6907 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6908 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6909 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6910 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6911 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6912 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6913 [Geoff Thorpe]
6914
6915 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6916 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6917 [Geoff Thorpe]
6918
6919 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6920 [Ben Laurie]
6921
6922 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6923 md_data void pointer.
6924 [Ben Laurie]
6925
6926 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6927 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6928 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6929 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6930 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6931 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6932 [Ben Laurie]
6933
6934 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6935 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6936 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6937 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6938 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6939 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6940 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6941 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6942 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6943 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6944 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6945 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6946 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6947 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6948 rather than letting it slide.
6949
6950 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6951 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6952 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6953 [Geoff Thorpe]
6954
6955 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6956 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6957 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6958 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6959 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6960 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6961 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6962 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6963 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6964 [Geoff Thorpe]
6965
6966 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6967 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6968 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6969 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6970 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6971
6972 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6973 [Geoff Thorpe]
6974
6975 *) Add EVP test program.
6976 [Ben Laurie]
6977
6978 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6979 [Ben Laurie]
6980
6981 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6982 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6983 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6984 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6985 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6989 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6990 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6991 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6992 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6993 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6994 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6995
6996 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6997 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6998 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6999 Usage example:
7000
7001 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7002
7003 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7004 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7005 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7006 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7007 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7008
7009 [Ben Laurie]
7010
7011 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7012 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7013 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7014 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7015 anyway): E.g.,
7016
7017 des_key_schedule ks;
7018
7019 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7020 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7021
7022 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7023 [Ben Laurie]
7024
7025 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7026 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7027 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7028 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7029 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7030 functions prevents this.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7034 [Ben Laurie]
7035
7036 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7037 correct _ecb suffix.
7038 [Ben Laurie]
7039
7040 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7041 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7042 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7043 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7044 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7045 [Steve Henson]
7046
7047 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7048 [Richard Levitte]
7049
7050 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7051 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7052 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7053 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7054
7055 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7056 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7057
7058 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7059 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7060 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7061 via Richard Levitte]
7062
7063 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7064 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7065 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7066 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7067 [Geoff Thorpe]
7068
7069 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7070 Before:
7071 encrypt
7072 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

7085 [Ben Laurie]
7086
7087 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7088 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7089
7090 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7091 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7092 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7093 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7094 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7095 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7099 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7100 [Richard Levitte]
7101
7102 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7103 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7104 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7105 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7106
7107 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7108 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7109 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7110 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7111 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7112 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7113 callback.
7114 [Richard Levitte]
7115
7116 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7117 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7118 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7119 and interrupts/cancellations.
7120 [Richard Levitte]
7121
7122 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7123 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7124 [Steve Henson]
7125
7126 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7127 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7128 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7129
7130 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7131 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7132 kind of callback.
7133 [Richard Levitte]
7134
7135 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7136 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7137 than this minimum value is recommended.
7138 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7139
7140 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7141 that are easily reachable.
7142 [Richard Levitte]
7143
7144 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7145 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7146
7147 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7148
7149 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7150 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7151 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7152 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7153 [Steve Henson]
7154
7155 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7156 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7157 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7158 [Steve Henson]
7159
7160 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7161 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7162 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7163 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7164 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7165 internally such as S/MIME.
7166
7167 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7168 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7169 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7170
7171 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7172 applications.
7173 [Steve Henson]
7174
7175 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7176 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7177 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7178 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7179
7180 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7181
7182 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7183
7184 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7185 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7186 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7187 handling.
7188 [Steve Henson]
7189
7190 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7191 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7192 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7193 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7194 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7195 a window system and the like.
7196 [Richard Levitte]
7197
7198 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7199 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7200 [Geoff]
7201
7202 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7203 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7204 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7205 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7206 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7207 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7208 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7209 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7210 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7211 ENGINE structure.
7212 [Geoff]
7213
7214 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7215 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7216 tag cache.
7217 [Steve Henson]
7218
7219 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7220 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7221 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7222 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7223 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7224 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7225 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7226 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7227 [Geoff]
7228
7229 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7230 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7231 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7232 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7233 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7234 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7235 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7236 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7237 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7238 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7239 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7240 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7241 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7242 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7243 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7244 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7245 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7246 [Geoff]
7247
7248 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7249 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7250 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7251 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7252 internal engine_int.h header.
7253 [Geoff]
7254
7255 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7256 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7257 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7258 modify their own ones).
7259 [Geoff]
7260
7261 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7262 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7263 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7264 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7265 later on via ctrl() commands.
7266 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7267 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7268 structural references.
7269 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7270 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7271 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7272 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7273 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7274 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7275 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7276 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7277 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7278 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7279 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7280 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7281 [Geoff]
7282
7283 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7284 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7285 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7286 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7287 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7288 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7289 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7290 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7291 [Bodo Moeller]
7292
7293 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7294 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7295 [Steve Henson]
7296
7297 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7298 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7299 [Steve Henson]
7300
7301 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7302 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7303 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7304 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7305 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7306 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7307 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7308 [Steve Henson]
7309
7310 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7311 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7312 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7313 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7314 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7315
7316 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7317 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7318 generator).
7319 [Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7322
7323 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7324 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7325 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7326
7327 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7328 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7329
7330 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7331 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7332 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7333
7334 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7335 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7336
7337 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7338 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7339
7340 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7341
7342 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7343 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7344 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7345 [Bodo Moeller]
7346
7347 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7348 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7349 [Richard Levitte]
7350
7351 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7352 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7353 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7354 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7355 is 40 of more characters long.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7359 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7360 pointers.
7361 [Steve Henson]
7362
7363 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7364 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7365 [Bodo Moeller]
7366
7367 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7368 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7369 might.
7370 [Steve Henson]
7371
7372 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7373
7374 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7375 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7376
7377 ASN1 error codes
7378 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7379 ...
7380 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7381 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7382 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7383 ...
7384 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7385 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7386
7387 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7388 [Bodo Moeller]
7389
7390 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7391 suffices.
7392 [Bodo Moeller]
7393
7394 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7395 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7396 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7397 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7398 and
7399 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7400
7401 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7402 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7403
7404 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7405 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7406 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7407 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7408 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7409 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7410
7411 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7412 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7413
7414 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7415 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7416
7417 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7418 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7419
7420 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7421 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7422 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7423 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7424
7425 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7426 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7427
7428 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7429 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7430
7431 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7432 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7433 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7434 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7435 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7436 [Richard Levitte]
7437
7438 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7439 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7440 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7441 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7442 [Steve Henson]
7443
7444 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7445 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7446 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7447 trust settings.
7448 [Steve Henson]
7449
7450 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7451 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7452 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7453 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7454 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7455 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7456 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7457 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7458 ocsp utility.
7459 [Steve Henson]
7460
7461 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7462 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7463 [Steve Henson]
7464
7465 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7466 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7467 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7468 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7472 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7473 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7474 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7475 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7476 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7477 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7478 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7479 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7480 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7481 [Steve Henson]
7482
7483 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7484 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7485 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7486 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7487 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7488 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7489 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7490 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7491
7492 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7493 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7494 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7495 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7496 [Richard Levitte]
7497
7498 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7499 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7500 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7501 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7502 opensslconf.h.
7503 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7504 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7505 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7506 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7507 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7508 what is available.
7509 [Richard Levitte]
7510
7511 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7512 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7513 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7514 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7515 auto incremented.
7516 [Steve Henson]
7517
7518 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7519 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7520 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7524 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7525 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7526 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7527 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7528 [Steve Henson]
7529
7530 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7531 [Steve Henson]
7532
7533 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7534 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7535 option to ocsp utility.
7536 [Steve Henson]
7537
7538 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7539 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7540 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7541 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7542 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7543 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7544 the request is nonce-less.
7545 [Steve Henson]
7546
7547 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7548 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7549 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7550 [Bodo Moeller]
7551
7552 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7553 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7554 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7558 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7559 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7560 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7561 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7562 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7563
7564 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7565 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7566 appear to exist.
7567 [Steve Henson]
7568
7569 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7570 additional certificates supplied.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7574 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7575 signature against.
7576 [Richard Levitte]
7577
7578 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7579 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7580 AES OIDs.
7581
7582 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7583 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7584 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7585 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7586 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7587 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7588 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7589 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7590 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7591
7592 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7593 request to response.
7594 [Steve Henson]
7595
7596 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7597 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7598 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7599 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7600 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7601 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7602 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7603 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7604 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7605 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7606 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7607 [Steve Henson]
7608
7609 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7610 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7611 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7612 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7613 [Steve Henson]
7614
7615 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7616 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7617
7618 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7619 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7620 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7621 [Steve Henson]
7622
7623 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7624 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7625 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7626 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7627 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7628
7629 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7630 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7631 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7632 [Steve Henson]
7633
7634 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7635 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7636 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7637 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7638 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7639 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7640 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7641 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7642
7643 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7644 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7645 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7646 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7647 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7648 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7649 [Steve Henson]
7650
7651 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7652 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7653 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7654 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7655 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7656 printout format cleaned up.
7657 [Steve Henson]
7658
7659 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7660 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7661 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7662 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7663 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7664 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7665 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7666 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7667 [Steve Henson]
7668
7669 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7670 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7671 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7672 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7673 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7674 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7675 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7676 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7677 [Steve Henson]
7678
7679 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7680 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7681 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7682 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7683 section to use.
7684 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7685
7686 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7687 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7688 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7689 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7693 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7694 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7695 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7696 in the index file.
7697 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7698
7699 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7700 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7701 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7702 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7703
7704 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7705 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7706
7707 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7708 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7709 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7713 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7714 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7715 [Bodo Moeller]
7716
7717 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7718 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7719 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7720 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7721 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7722 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7723 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7724 functions are provided:
7725
7726 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7727 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7728 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7729 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7730
7731 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7732 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7733 extended allocation function is enabled.
7734 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7735 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7736 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7737
7738 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7739 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7740 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7741 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7742 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7743 [Geoff Thorpe]
7744
7745 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7746 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7747 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7748 be queried.
7749 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7750 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7751 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7752 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7753
7754 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7755 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7756 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7757 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7758 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7759 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7760 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7761 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7762 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7763 [Richard Levitte]
7764
7765 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7766 provide utility functions which an application needing
7767 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7768 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7769 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7770
7771 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7772 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7773 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7774 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7775 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7776 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7777 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7778 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7779 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7780
7781 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7782 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7783 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7784 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7785 [Steve Henson]
7786
7787 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7788 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7789 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7790 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7791 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7792 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7793 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7794 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7795 will be added elsewhere.
7796 [Steve Henson]
7797
7798 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7799 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7800 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7801 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7802 [Steve Henson]
7803
7804 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7805 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7806 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7807 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7808 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7809 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7810 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7811 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7812 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7813 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7814 to produce the required SET OF.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7818 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7819 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7820 [Richard Levitte]
7821
7822 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7823 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7824 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7825 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7826 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7827 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7828 [Steve Henson]
7829
7830 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7831 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7832 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7833 [Steve Henson]
7834
7835 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7836 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7837 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7838 [Richard Levitte]
7839
7840 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7841 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7842 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7843 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7844 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7845 [Steve Henson]
7846
7847 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7848 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7849 [Steve Henson]
7850
7851 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7852 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7853 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7854 certificates and CRLs.
7855 [Steve Henson]
7856
7857 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7858 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7859 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7860 [Steve Henson]
7861
7862 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7863 entries for variables.
7864 [Steve Henson]
7865
7866 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7867 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7868 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7869 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7870 [Bodo Moeller]
7871
7872 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7873 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7874 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7875 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7876 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7877 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7878 [Bodo Moeller]
7879
7880 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7881 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7882
7883 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7884 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7885 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7886 [Steve Henson]
7887
7888 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7889 print routines.
7890 [Steve Henson]
7891
7892 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7893 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7894 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7895 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7896 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7897 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7898 [Steve Henson]
7899
7900 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7901 [Steve Henson]
7902
7903 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7904 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7905 for now but they will eventually go away.
7906 [Steve Henson]
7907
7908 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7909 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7910 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7911 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7912 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7913 has also been converted to the new form.
7914 [Steve Henson]
7915
7916 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7917 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7918 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7919 for negative moduli.
7920 [Bodo Moeller]
7921
7922 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7923 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7924 [Bodo Moeller]
7925
7926 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7927 set.
7928 [Bodo Moeller]
7929
7930 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7931 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7932 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7933 type-specific callbacks.
7934 [Geoff Thorpe]
7935
7936 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7937 RFC 2712.
7938 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7939 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7940
7941 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7942 in sections depending on the subject.
7943 [Richard Levitte]
7944
7945 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7946 Windows.
7947 [Richard Levitte]
7948
7949 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7950 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7951 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7952 be handled deterministically).
7953 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7954
7955 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7956 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7957 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7958 [Bodo Moeller]
7959
7960 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7961 [Bodo Moeller]
7962
7963 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7964 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7965 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7966 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7967 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7968 [Bodo Moeller]
7969
7970 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7971 sign of the number in question.
7972
7973 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7974
7975 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7976 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7977 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7978 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7979 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) New function BN_swap.
7983 [Bodo Moeller]
7984
7985 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7986 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7987 results on negative inputs.
7988 [Bodo Moeller]
7989
7990 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7991 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7992 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7993 [Bodo Moeller]
7994
7995 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7996 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7997 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7998 and add new functions:
7999
8000 BN_nnmod
8001 BN_mod_sqr
8002 BN_mod_add
8003 BN_mod_add_quick
8004 BN_mod_sub
8005 BN_mod_sub_quick
8006 BN_mod_lshift1
8007 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8008 BN_mod_lshift
8009 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8010
8011 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8012
8013 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8014 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8015
8016 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8017 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8018 be reduced modulo m.
8019 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8020
8021 #if 0
8022 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8023 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8024 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8025
8026 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8027 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8028 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8029 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8030 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8031 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8032 differing sizes.
8033 [Richard Levitte]
8034 #endif
8035
8036 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8037 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8038 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8039 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8040 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8041
8042 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8043 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8044 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8045 cause any problems.
8046 [Bodo Moeller]
8047
8048 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8049 [Richard Levitte]
8050
8051 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8052 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8053 [Richard Levitte]
8054
8055 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8056 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8057 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8058 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8059 time)
8060 [Richard Levitte]
8061
8062 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8063 [Richard Levitte]
8064
8065 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8066 [Richard Levitte]
8067
8068 *) Add the following functions:
8069
8070 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8071 ENGINE_load_chil()
8072 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8073 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8074 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8075
8076 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8077 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8078 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8079 libraries unless it's really needed.
8080
8081 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8082 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8083 declarations (they differed!).
8084 [Richard Levitte]
8085
8086 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8087 [Richard Levitte]
8088
8089 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8090 [Richard Levitte]
8091
8092 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8093 [Bodo Moeller]
8094
8095 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8096 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8097 [Richard Levitte]
8098
8099 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8100 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8101 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8102
8103 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8104 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8105 [Richard Levitte]
8106
8107 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8108 [Richard Levitte]
8109
8110 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8111 [Richard Levitte]
8112
8113 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8114 [Ben Laurie]
8115
8116 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8117 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8118 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8119
8120 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8121 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8122 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8123 different shared library filenames on each system.
8124 [Geoff Thorpe]
8125
8126 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8127 [Richard Levitte]
8128
8129 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8130 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8131 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8132 of two sections.
8133 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8134
8135 *) NCONF changes.
8136 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8137 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8138 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8139 binary backward compatibility.
8140 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8141 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8142 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8143 LDAP server.
8144 [Richard Levitte]
8145
8146 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8147 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8148 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8149 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8150 this case.
8151 [Steve Henson]
8152
8153 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8154 [Ben Laurie]
8155
8156 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8157 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8158 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8159 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8160 set.
8161 [Steve Henson]
8162
8163 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8164 [Richard Levitte]
8165
8166 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8167
8168 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8169 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8170 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8171
8172 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8173
8174 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8175
8176 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8177 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8178 [Steve Henson]
8179
8180 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8181
8182 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8183
8184 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8185 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8186
8187 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8188 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8189
8190 [Steve Henson]
8191
8192 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8193 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8194 specifications.
8195 [Steve Henson]
8196
8197 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8198 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8199 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8200 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8201
8202 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8203 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8204 [Richard Levitte]
8205
8206 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8207
8208 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8209 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8210 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8211 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8212 [Bodo Moeller]
8213
8214 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8215 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8216 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8217 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8218 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8219
8220 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8221 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8222 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8223 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8224 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8225 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8226 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8227 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8228 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8229 [Bodo Moeller]
8230
8231 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8232
8233 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8234 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8235 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8236 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8237 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8238
8239 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8240 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8241 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8242
8243 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8244
8245 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8246 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8247 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8248 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8249 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8250 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8251 [Geoff Thorpe]
8252
8253 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8254 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8255 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8256 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8257 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8258 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8259
8260 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8261 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8262 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8263
8264 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8265 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8266 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8267 EVP_cleanup().
8268 [Richard Levitte]
8269
8270 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8271 being properly terminated.
8272 [Richard Levitte]
8273
8274 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8275 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8276 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8277 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8278
8279 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8280 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8281 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8282 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8283 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8284 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8285 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8286 change.
8287 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8288
8289 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8290 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8291 [Bodo Moeller]
8292
8293 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8294 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8295 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8296 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8297 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8298 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8299 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8300 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8301
8302 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8303 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8304 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8305 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8306 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8307
8308 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8309 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8310 [Steve Henson]
8311
8312 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8313
8314 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8315 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8316 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8317
8318 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8319
8320 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8321 and get fix the header length calculation.
8322 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8323 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8324 Steve Henson]
8325
8326 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8327 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8328 assertions could call abort()).
8329 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8330
8331 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8332
8333 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8334 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8335 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8336 supplied buffer.
8337 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8338
8339 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8340 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8341 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8342 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8343
8344 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8345 [Nils Larsch]
8346
8347 *) New option
8348 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8349 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8350 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8351
8352 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8353 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8354 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8355 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8356 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8357 applications.
8358 [Bodo Moeller]
8359
8360 *) Changes in security patch:
8361
8362 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8363 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8364 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8365 F30602-01-2-0537.
8366
8367 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8368 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8369 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8370 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8371 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8372
8373 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8374 happen in practice.
8375 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8376
8377 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8378 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8379 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8380
8381 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8382 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8383 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8384
8385 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8386 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8387 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8388
8389 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8390
8391 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8392 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8393 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8394
8395 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8396 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8397
8398 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8399 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8400 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8401 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8402 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8403 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8404 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8405
8406 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8407 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8408 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8409 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8410 [Bodo Moeller]
8411
8412 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8413 [Bodo Moeller]
8414
8415 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8416 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8417 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8418 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8419 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8420 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8421
8422 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8423 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8424 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8425 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8426 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8427 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8428
8429 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8430 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8431 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8432 BN_generate_prime().)
8433
8434 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8435 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8436 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8437 better.
8438 [Bodo Moeller]
8439
8440 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8441 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8442 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8443
8444 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8445 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8446 when using non-blocking I/O.
8447 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8448
8449 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8450 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8451
8452 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8453 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8454 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8455
8456 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8457 configuration for the versions before that.
8458 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8459
8460 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8461 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8462 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8463 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8464 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8465
8466 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8467 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8468 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8469 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8470
8471 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8472 value is 0.
8473 [Richard Levitte]
8474
8475 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8476 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8477 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8478
8479 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8480 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8481
8482 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8483 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8484 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8485 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8486 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8487 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8488 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8489 session cache.
8490
8491 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8492 using a local variable.
8493 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8494
8495 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8496 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8497 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8498
8499 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8500 [Richard Levitte]
8501
8502 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8503 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8504
8505 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8506 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8507 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8508
8509 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8510
8511 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8512 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8513 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8514 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8515 [Bodo Moeller]
8516
8517 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8518 present.
8519 [Steve Henson]
8520
8521 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8522 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8523 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8524 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8525 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8526
8527 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8528 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8529 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8530
8531 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8532 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8533 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8534
8535 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8536 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8537 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8538 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8539
8540 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8541 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8542 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8543 modules).
8544 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8545
8546 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8547 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8548 from 0.9.7.
8549 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8550
8551 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8552 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8553 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8554 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8555
8556 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8557 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8558 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8559 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8560
8561 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8562 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8563
8564 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8565 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8566 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8567 [Bodo Moeller]
8568
8569 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8570 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8571 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8572 become invalid.
8573 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8574
8575 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8576 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8577 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8578 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8579 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8580 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8581 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8582 [Bodo Moeller]
8583
8584 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8585 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8586 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8587 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8588
8589 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8590 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8591 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8592 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8593 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8594 the client will at least see that alert.
8595 [Bodo Moeller]
8596
8597 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8598 correctly.
8599 [Bodo Moeller]
8600
8601 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8602 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8603 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8604
8605 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8606 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8607 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8608 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8609 HelloRequest.
8610
8611 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8612 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8613 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8614
8615 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8616 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8617 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8618 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8619 may leak via logfiles.)
8620
8621 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8622 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8623 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8624 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8625 the legal range.
8626 [Bodo Moeller]
8627
8628 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8629 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8630 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8631
8632 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8633 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8634 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8635 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8636 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8637 [Bodo Moeller]
8638
8639 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8640 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8641
8642 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8643 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8644 followed by modular reduction.
8645 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8646
8647 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8648 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8649 [Bodo Moeller]
8650
8651 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8652 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8653 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8654 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8655 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8656
8657 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8658 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8659
8660 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8661 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8662 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8663
8664 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8665 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8666 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8667 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8668 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8669 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8670 automatically.
8671 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8672
8673 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8674 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8675 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8676 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8677 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8678
8679 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8680 [Andy Polyakov]
8681
8682 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8683 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8684 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8685 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8686 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8687 to allow the necessary settings.
8688 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8689
8690 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8691 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8692 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8693 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8694 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8695
8696 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8697 dh->length and always used
8698
8699 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8700
8701 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8702 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8703 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8704 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8705 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8706 dh->length.
8707
8708 So switch back to
8709
8710 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8711
8712 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8713 otherwise.
8714 [Bodo Moeller]
8715
8716 *) In
8717
8718 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8719 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8720 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8721 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8722
8723 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8724 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8725 always reject numbers >= n.
8726 [Bodo Moeller]
8727
8728 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8729 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8730 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8731 variable) is not atomic.
8732 [Bodo Moeller]
8733
8734 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8735 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8736 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8737 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8738
8739 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8740 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8741
8742 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8743 little-endian MIPS.
8744 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8745
8746 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8747 [Richard Levitte]
8748
8749 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8750
8751 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8752 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8753 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8754 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8755 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8756 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8757 to traverse all of 'state'.
8758
8759 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8760 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8761 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8762
8763 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8764 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8765
8766 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8767 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8768 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8769 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8770 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8771 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8772 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8773 further strengthens the PRNG.
8774 [Bodo Moeller]
8775
8776 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8777 [Andy Polyakov]
8778
8779 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8780 an error message in this case.
8781 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8782
8783 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8787 positive and less than q.
8788 [Bodo Moeller]
8789
8790 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8791 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8792 that itself.
8793 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8794
8795 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8796 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8797 [Bodo Moeller]
8798
8799 *) Fix OAEP check.
8800 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8801
8802 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8803 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8804 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8805 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8806 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8807 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8808 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8809 paper.)
8810
8811 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8812 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8813 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8814 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8815
8816 Both problems are now fixed.
8817 [Bodo Moeller]
8818
8819 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8820 (previously it was 1024).
8821 [Bodo Moeller]
8822
8823 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8824 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8825 [Steve Henson]
8826
8827 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8828 [Steve Henson]
8829
8830 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8831 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8832 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8836 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8837 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8838 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8839 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8840 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8841 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8842 environment variables.
8843
8844 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8845 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8846 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8847 [Bodo Moeller]
8848
8849 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8850 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8851 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8852 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8853 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8854 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8855 [Bodo Moeller]
8856
8857 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8858 versions of 'test'.
8859 [Bodo Moeller]
8860
8861 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8862
8863 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8864 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8865
8866 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8867 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8868 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8869 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8870 CygWin.
8871 [Richard Levitte]
8872
8873 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8874 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8875 amount of data available.
8876 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8877 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8878
8879 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8880 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8881 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8882 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8883 [Bodo Moeller]
8884
8885 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8886 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8887 and UnixWare.
8888 [Richard Levitte]
8889
8890 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8891 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8892 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8893 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8894 [Ulf Moeller]
8895
8896 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8897 [Andy Polyakov]
8898
8899 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8900 [Richard Levitte]
8901
8902 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8903 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8904 [Steve Henson]
8905 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8906
8907 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8908 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8909 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8910 (but broken) behaviour.
8911 [Steve Henson]
8912
8913 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8914 it when found.
8915 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8916
8917 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8918 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8919 [Bodo Moeller]
8920
8921 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8922 did not exist.
8923 [Bodo Moeller]
8924
8925 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8926 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8927
8928 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8929 [Richard Levitte]
8930
8931 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8932 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8933 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8934
8935 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8936 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8937 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8938 [Steve Henson]
8939
8940 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8941 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8942 [Ulf Moeller]
8943
8944 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8945 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8946
8947 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8948
8949 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8950
8951 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8952 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8953 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8954 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8955 [Bodo Moeller]
8956
8957 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8958 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8959
8960 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8961 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8962 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8963
8964 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8965 was empty.
8966 [Steve Henson]
8967 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8968
8969 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8970 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8971 but the code is actually correct.
8972 [Steve Henson]
8973
8974 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8975 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8976 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8977 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8978 and leaves the highest bit random.
8979 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8980
8981 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8982 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8983 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8984 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8985 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8986 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8987 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8988 [Bodo Moeller]
8989
8990 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8991 [Ulf Moeller]
8992
8993 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8994 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8995 [Steve Henson]
8996
8997 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8998 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8999 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9000 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9001 headers.
9002 [Richard Levitte]
9003
9004 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9005 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9006 and break the signature.
9007 [Steve Henson]
9008 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9009
9010 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9011 DH ciphersuites.
9012 [Steve Henson]
9013
9014 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9015 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9016 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9017 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9018 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9019 [Bodo Moeller]
9020
9021 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9022 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9023
9024 *) ./config script fixes.
9025 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9026
9027 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9028 [Bodo Moeller]
9029
9030 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9031 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9032 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9033 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9034 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9035
9036 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9037 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9038 [Bodo Moeller]
9039
9040 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9041 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9042 [Steve Henson]
9043
9044 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9045 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9046 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9047 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9048
9049 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9050 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9051
9052 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9053 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9054 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9055 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9056 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9057
9058 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9059 [Bodo Moeller]
9060
9061 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9062 [Ulf Möller]
9063
9064 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9065 [Ulf Möller]
9066
9067 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9068 [Bodo Moeller]
9069
9070 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9071 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9072 [Bodo Moeller]
9073
9074 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9075 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9076 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9077 result of the server certificate verification.)
9078 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9079
9080 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9081 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9082 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9083 [Bodo Moeller]
9084
9085 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9086 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9087 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9088 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9089 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9090 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9091 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9092 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9093 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9094 [Bodo Moeller]
9095
9096 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9097 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9098 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9099 happening the other way round.
9100 [Geoff Thorpe]
9101
9102 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9103 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9104 [Bodo Moeller]
9105
9106 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9107 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9108 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9109 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9110 [Richard Levitte]
9111
9112 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9113 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9114
9115 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9116
9117 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9118 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9119 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9120 that.
9121
9122 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9123
9124 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9125
9126 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9127 static ones.
9128 [Richard Levitte]
9129
9130 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9131
9132 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9133 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9134 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9135 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9136 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9137
9138 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9139 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9140 matter what.
9141 [Richard Levitte]
9142
9143 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9144 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9145
9146 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9147
9148 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9149 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9150 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9151 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9152 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9153 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9154 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9155 by the Finished messages.
9156 [Bodo Moeller]
9157
9158 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9159 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9160
9161 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9162 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9163 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9164 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9165 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9166 appropriately.
9167 [Steve Henson]
9168
9169 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9170 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9171 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9172 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9173 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9174 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9175 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9176 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9177 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9178 together.
9179 [Steve Henson]
9180
9181 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9182 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9183 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9184 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9185
9186 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9187 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9188 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9189 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9190 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9191 the answer.
9192
9193 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9194 been tested well enough.
9195 [Richard Levitte]
9196
9197 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9198 it can return incorrect results.
9199 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9200 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9201 [Bodo Moeller]
9202
9203 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9204 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9205 include zero length content when signing messages.
9206 [Steve Henson]
9207
9208 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9209 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9210 [Bodo Möller]
9211
9212 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9213 [Richard Levitte]
9214
9215 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9216 wrong sign.
9217 [Ulf Möller]
9218
9219 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9220 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9221 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9222 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9223 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9224 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9225 [Richard Levitte]
9226
9227 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9228 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9229
9230 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9231 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9232
9233 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9234 random number < q in the DSA library.
9235 [Ulf Möller]
9236
9237 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9238 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9239 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9240 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9241 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9242 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9243 just makes things more complicated.)
9244 [Bodo Moeller]
9245
9246 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9247 from EGD.
9248 [Ben Laurie]
9249
9250 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9251 work better on such systems.
9252 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9253
9254 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9255 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9256 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9257 [Steve Henson]
9258
9259 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9260 if there was more than one signature.
9261 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9262
9263 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9264 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9265 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9266 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9267 [Richard Levitte]
9268
9269 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9270 rather than always using the current time.
9271 [Steve Henson]
9272
9273 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9274 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9275 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9276 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9277 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9278 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9279
9280 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9281 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9282
9283 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9284
9285 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9286 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9287 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9288 the same hash value.
9289
9290 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9291 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9292 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9293 with X509_STORE internally.
9294
9295 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9296 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9297
9298 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9299 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9300 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9301 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9302 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9303 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9304 entirely (maybe later...).
9305
9306 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9307
9308 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9309 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9310 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9311 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9312 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9313 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9314 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9315 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9316
9317 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9318 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9319
9320 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9321 to customise the verify behaviour.
9322 [Steve Henson]
9323
9324 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9325 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9326 [Steve Henson]
9327
9328 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9329 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9330 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9331 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9332 request is improperly encoded.
9333 [Steve Henson]
9334
9335 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9336 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9337 BIO_write(b, ...).
9338
9339 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9340 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9341
9342 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9343 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9344 words set to zero.)
9345 [Bodo Moeller]
9346
9347 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9348 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9349 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9350 [Bodo Moeller]
9351
9352 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9353 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9354 BIO/fp routines also added.
9355 [Steve Henson]
9356
9357 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9358 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9359
9360 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9361 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9362 demos/state_machine.
9363 [Ben Laurie]
9364
9365 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9366 generation and verification.
9367 [Steve Henson]
9368
9369 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9370 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9371 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9372 encode and decode it manually.
9373 [Steve Henson]
9374
9375 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9376 compile under VC++.
9377 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9378
9379 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9380 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9381 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9382 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9383
9384 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9385 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9386 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9387 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9388 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9389 [Steve Henson]
9390
9391 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9392 [Richard Levitte]
9393
9394 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9395 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9396 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9397
9398 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9399 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9400 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9401 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9402 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9403 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9404 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9405 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9406
9407 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9408 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9409
9410 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9411
9412 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9413 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9414 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9415
9416 [Richard Levitte]
9417
9418 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9419 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9420 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9421 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9422 [Richard Levitte]
9423
9424 *) MD4 implemented.
9425 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9426
9427 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9428 [Richard Levitte]
9429
9430 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9431 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9432 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9433 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9434 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9435 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9436 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9437 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9438 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9439 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9440 short or long names are found.
9441 [Steve Henson]
9442
9443 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9444 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9445
9446 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9447 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9448 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9449 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9450
9451 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9452 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9453 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9454 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9455 [Bodo Moeller]
9456
9457 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9458 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9459 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9460 [Richard Levitte]
9461
9462 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9463 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9464 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9465 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9466 to allow the various flags to be set.
9467 [Steve Henson]
9468
9469 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9470 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9471 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9472 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9473 dates to be checked.
9474 [Steve Henson]
9475
9476 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9477 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9478 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9479 [Steve Henson]
9480
9481 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9482 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9483 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9484 [Steve Henson]
9485
9486 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9487 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9488 [Bodo Moeller]
9489
9490 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9491 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9492 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9493 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9494 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9495 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9496 [Richard Levitte]
9497
9498 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9499 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9500 Random Numbers.
9501 [Ulf Möller]
9502
9503 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9504 DSA key.
9505 [Steve Henson]
9506
9507 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9508 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9509 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9510 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9511 form signing output easier to verify.
9512 [Steve Henson]
9513
9514 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9515 [Steve Henson]
9516
9517 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9518 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9519 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9520 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9521 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9522 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9523 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9524 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9525 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9526 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9527 [Steve Henson]
9528
9529 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9530
9531 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9532 the syntax given in objects.README.
9533 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9534 obj_mac.h.
9535 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9536 obj_mac.h.
9537
9538 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9539 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9540 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9541 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9542 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9543 consistent name changes.
9544 [Richard Levitte]
9545
9546 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9547 [Bodo Moeller]
9548
9549 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9550 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9551 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9552 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9553 [Richard Levitte]
9554
9555 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9556 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9557 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9558 of safestack.h .
9559 [Steve Henson]
9560
9561 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9562 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9563 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9564 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9565 [Steve Henson]
9566
9567 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9568 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9569 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9570 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9571 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9572 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9573 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9574 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9575 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9576 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9577 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9578 [Steve Henson]
9579
9580 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9581 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9582 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9583 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9584 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9585 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9586 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9587 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9588 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9589 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9590 [Steve Henson]
9591
9592 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9593 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9594 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9595 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9596
9597 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9598 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9599 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9600 omit any duplicate addresses.
9601 [Steve Henson]
9602
9603 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9604 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9605 [Bodo Moeller]
9606
9607 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9608 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9609 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9610 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9611 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9612 [Bodo Moeller]
9613
9614 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9615 software:
9616 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9617 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9618 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9619 Free => OPENSSL_free
9620 [Richard Levitte]
9621
9622 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9623 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9624 [Bodo Moeller]
9625
9626 *) CygWin32 support.
9627 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9628
9629 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9630 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9631 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9632 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9633 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9634 approach.
9635 [Geoff Thorpe]
9636
9637 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9638 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9639 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9640 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9641 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9642 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9643 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9644 [Geoff Thorpe]
9645
9646 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9647 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9648 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9649 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9650 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9651 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9652 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9653 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9654 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9655 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9656 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9657 [Bodo Moeller]
9658
9659 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9660 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9661 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9662 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9663 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9664
9665 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9666 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9667 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9668 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9669 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9670
9671 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9672 ciphers.
9673
9674 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9675 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9676 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9677 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9678
9679 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9680
9681 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9682 of macros.
9683
9684 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9685 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9686 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9687 flags.
9688
9689 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9690 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9691 any installed hardware versions can.
9692 [Steve Henson]
9693
9694 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9695 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9696 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9697 number.
9698 [Bodo Moeller]
9699
9700 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9701 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9702 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9703 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9704 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9705
9706 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9707 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9708 [Steve Henson]
9709
9710 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9711 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9712 [Richard Levitte]
9713
9714 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9715 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9716 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9717 features.
9718 [Steve Henson]
9719
9720 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9721 [Ulf Möller]
9722
9723 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9724 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9725 but no ssl client purpose.
9726 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9727
9728 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9729 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9730 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9731 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9732 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9733 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9734 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9735 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9736 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9737 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9738 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9739 [Steve Henson]
9740
9741 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9742 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9743 be obtained from the error queue.
9744 [Bodo Moeller]
9745
9746 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9747 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9748 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9749 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9750 [Bodo Moeller]
9751
9752 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9753 [Ulf Möller]
9754
9755 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9756 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9757 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9758 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9759 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9760 [Geoff Thorpe]
9761
9762 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9763 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9764 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9765 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9766 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9767 [Geoff Thorpe]
9768
9769 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9770 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9771 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9772 may not be NULL.
9773 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9774
9775 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9776 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9777 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9778 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9779 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9780 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9781 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9782 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9783 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9784 or "the configuration storage API"...
9785
9786 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9787
9788 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9789 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9790
9791 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9792
9793 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9794
9795 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9796 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9797 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9798 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9799 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9800 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9801 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9802
9803 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9804 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9805 [Richard Levitte]
9806
9807 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9808 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9809 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9810 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9811 [Bodo Moeller]
9812
9813 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9814 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9815 them in a portable way.
9816 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9817
9818 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9819
9820 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9821
9822 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9823 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9824
9825 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9826 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9827 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9828 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9829
9830 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9831 was larger than the MD block size.
9832 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9833
9834 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9835 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9836 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9837 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9838 components.
9839 [Steve Henson]
9840
9841 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9842 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9843 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9844
9845 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9846 discouraged.
9847 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9848
9849 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9850 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9851 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9852 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9853 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9854 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9855
9856 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9857 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9858
9859 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9860 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9861 [Bodo Moeller]
9862
9863 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9864 [Bodo Moeller]
9865
9866 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9867 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9868 its own key.
9869 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9870 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9871 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9872 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9873 [Bodo Moeller]
9874
9875 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9876 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9877 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9878 does not suppress any output.
9879 [Richard Levitte]
9880
9881 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9882 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9883 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9884 with all the associated security issues.
9885
9886 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9887 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9888 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9889 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9890 use the value in the default purpose.
9891 [Steve Henson]
9892
9893 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9894 and fix a memory leak.
9895 [Steve Henson]
9896
9897 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9898 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9899 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9900 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9901 [Bodo Moeller]
9902
9903 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9904 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9905 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9906 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9907 [Bodo Moeller]
9908
9909 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9910 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9911 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9912 [Bodo Moeller]
9913
9914 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9915 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9916 [Bodo Moeller]
9917
9918 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9919 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9920 which was free.
9921 [Steve Henson]
9922
9923 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9924 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9925 [Bodo Moeller]
9926
9927 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9928 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9929 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9930 [Bodo Moeller]
9931
9932 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9933 number generation fails.
9934 [Bodo Moeller]
9935
9936 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9937 [Bodo Moeller]
9938
9939 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9940 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9941
9942 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9943 [Ulf Möller]
9944
9945 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9946 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9947
9948 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9949 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9950
9951 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9952
9953 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9954 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9955 [Steve Henson]
9956
9957 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9958 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9959
9960 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9961 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9962 [Ulf Möller]
9963
9964 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9965 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9966 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9967 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9968 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9969 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9970
9971 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9972 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9973 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9974 for example.
9975 [Steve Henson]
9976
9977 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9978 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9979 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9980 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9981 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9982 counter, some don't.)
9983 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9984 counters or duplicate objects.
9985 [Steve Henson]
9986
9987 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9988 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9989 [Steve Henson]
9990
9991 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9992 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9993 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9994
9995 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9996 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9997 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9998 or -rand.
9999 [Ulf Möller]
10000
10001 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10002 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10003 [Steve Henson]
10004
10005 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10006 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10007 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10008 cipher list.
10009 [Steve Henson]
10010
10011 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10012 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10013 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10014 [Steve Henson]
10015
10016 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10017 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10018 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10019 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10020 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10021 should work without changes.
10022 [Richard Levitte]
10023
10024 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10025 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10026 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10027 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10028 must be defined. E.g.,
10029 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10030 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10031 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10032 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10033
10034 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10035 record layer.
10036 [Bodo Moeller]
10037
10038 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10039 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10040 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10041 [Steve Henson]
10042
10043 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10044 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10045 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10046 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10047 [Steve Henson]
10048
10049 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10050 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10051 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10052 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10053 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10054 is prompted for as usual.
10055 [Steve Henson]
10056
10057 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10058 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10059 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10060 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10061
10062 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10063 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10064 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10065 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10069 [Andy Polyakov]
10070
10071 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10072 of seed file.
10073 [Steve Henson]
10074
10075 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10076 [Bodo Moeller]
10077
10078 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10079 [Steve Henson]
10080
10081 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10082 bits.
10083 [Ulf Möller]
10084
10085 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10086 [Ulf Möller]
10087
10088 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10089 [Andy Polyakov]
10090
10091 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
10092 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10093 [Ulf Möller]
10094
10095 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10096 options to produce them.
10097 [Steve Henson]
10098
10099 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10100 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10101 [Ulf Möller]
10102
10103 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10104 for p == 0.
10105 [Ulf Möller]
10106
10107 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10108 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10109 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10110 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10111 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10112 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10113 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10114 [Steve Henson]
10115
10116 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10120 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10121 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10122 [Bodo Moeller]
10123
10124 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10125 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10126
10127 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10128 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10129 [Ulf Möller]
10130
10131 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10132 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10133 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10134 has already seen).
10135 [Bodo Moeller]
10136
10137 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10138 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10139
10140 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10141 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10142 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10143 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10144 generation becomes much faster.
10145
10146 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10147 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10148 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10149 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10150 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10151 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10152 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10153 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10154 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10155 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10156 [Bodo Moeller]
10157
10158 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10159 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10160 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10161 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10162 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10163 trial division stage.
10164 [Bodo Moeller]
10165
10166 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10167 as ASN1_TIME.
10168 [Steve Henson]
10169
10170 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10171 [Steve Henson]
10172
10173 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10174 [Ulf Möller]
10175
10176 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10177 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10178 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10179 the comments.
10180 [Ulf Möller]
10181
10182 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10183 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10184 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10185 [Bodo Moeller]
10186
10187 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10188 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10189 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10190 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10191
10192 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10193 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10194 [Steve Henson]
10195
10196 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10197 [Ulf Möller]
10198
10199 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10200 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10201 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10202 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10203 [Ulf Möller]
10204
10205 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10206 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10207 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10208 [Ulf Möller]
10209
10210 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10211 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10212 (instead of parameters) in future.
10213 [Steve Henson]
10214
10215 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10216 when a new cipher list is set.
10217 [Steve Henson]
10218
10219 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10220 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10221 wrong.
10222
10223 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10224 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10225 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10226
10227 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10228 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10229 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10230 an error is flagged.
10231
10232 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10233 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10234 the readability was also increased :-)
10235 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10236
10237 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10238 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10239 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10240 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10241 as the root CA.
10242 [Steve Henson]
10243
10244 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10245 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10246 [Steve Henson]
10247
10248 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10249 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10250 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10251 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10252 instead.
10253
10254 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10255 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10256 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10257 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10258 because they handle more complex structures.)
10259 [Steve Henson]
10260
10261 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10262 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10263 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10264 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10265
10266 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10267 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10268 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10269 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10270 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10271 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10272 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10273 [Ulf Möller]
10274
10275 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10276 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10277 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10278 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10279 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10280 [Bodo Moeller]
10281
10282 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10283 [Bodo Moeller]
10284
10285 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10286 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10287 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10288 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10289 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10290 to use this.
10291
10292 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10293 code.
10294 [Steve Henson]
10295
10296 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10297 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10298 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10299 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10300 [Steve Henson]
10301
10302 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10303 [Ulf Möller]
10304
10305 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10306 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10307 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10308 international characters are used.
10309
10310 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10311 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10312 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10313 in ASN1 order.
10314 [Steve Henson]
10315
10316 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10317 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10318 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10319 request.
10320
10321 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10322 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10323 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10324 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10325 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10326 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10327
10328 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10329 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10330 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10331 be handled by the string table functions.
10332
10333 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10334 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10335 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10336 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10337 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10338 types at all.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10342 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10343 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10344 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10345 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10346
10347 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10348 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10349 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10350 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10351 [Bodo Moeller]
10352
10353 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10354 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10355 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10356 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10357 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10358 SHA1.
10359 [Andy Polyakov]
10360
10361 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10362 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10363 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10364 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10365 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10366 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10367 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10368 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10369
10370 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10371 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10372 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10376 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10377 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10378 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10379 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10380 support to pkcs8 application.
10381 [Steve Henson]
10382
10383 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10384 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10385 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10386 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10387 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10388 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10389 [Bodo Moeller]
10390
10391 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10392 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10393 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10394 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10395 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10396 consistency.
10397 [Bodo Moeller]
10398
10399 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10400 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10401 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10402 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10403 example.
10404 [Steve Henson]
10405
10406 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10407 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10408 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10409 and any application specific purposes.
10410
10411 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10412 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10413 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10414 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10415 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10416 if the certificate is self signed.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10420 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10421 [Steve Henson]
10422
10423 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10424 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10425 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10426 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10427 [Steve Henson]
10428
10429 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10430 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10431 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10432 Update documentation.
10433 [Steve Henson]
10434
10435 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10436 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10437 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10438 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10439 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10440 [Steve Henson]
10441
10442 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10443 for details.
10444 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10445
10446 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10447 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10448 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10449 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10450 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10451 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10452 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10453 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10454 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10455 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10456
10457 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10458
10459 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10460 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10461 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10462 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10463 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10464
10465 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10466 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10467 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10468 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10469 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10470 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10471 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10472 request additional information:
10473 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10474 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10475
10476 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10477 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10478 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10479 options.
10480
10481 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10482 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10483
10484 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10485 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10486 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10487
10488 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10489 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10490
10491 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10492 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10493 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10494 algorithm.
10495 [Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10498 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10499 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10500
10501 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10502 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10503 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10504 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10505 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10506 included in OpenSSL.
10507 [Steve Henson]
10508
10509 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10510 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10511 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10512 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10513 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10514 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10515 [Bodo Moeller]
10516
10517 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10518 PKCS12 structure.
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10522 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10523 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10524 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10525 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10526 structure.
10527 [Steve Henson]
10528
10529 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10530 need initialising.
10531 [Steve Henson]
10532
10533 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10534 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10535 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10536 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10537 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10538 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10539 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10540 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10541 be maintained manually.
10542
10543 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10544 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10545 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10546 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10547 work because people forget to call this function]
10548 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10549 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10550 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10551 [Steve Henson]
10552
10553 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10554 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10555 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10556 should be discouraged from doing it.
10557 [Ben Laurie]
10558
10559 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10560 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10561 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10562 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10563 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10564 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10565 [Steve Henson]
10566
10567 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10568 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10569 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10570
10571 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10572 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10573 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10574
10575 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10576 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10577 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10578 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10579 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10580 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10581
10582 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10583 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10584 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10585
10586 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10587 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10588 and vice versa.
10589
10590 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10591 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10592 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10593 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10594 [Steve Henson]
10595
10596 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10597 [Steve Henson]
10598
10599 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10600 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10601 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10602 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10603 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10604 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10605 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10606 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10607 keys so we should be OK.
10608
10609 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10610 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10611 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10612 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10613 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10614 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10615 stay in the name of compatibility.
10616
10617 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10618 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10619 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10620
10621 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10622 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10623 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10624 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10625 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10626 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10627 supplied key).
10628 [Steve Henson]
10629
10630 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10631 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10632 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10633 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10634 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10635 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10636 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10637 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10638 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10639 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10640 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10641 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10642 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10646 [Steve Henson]
10647
10648 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10649 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10650 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10651 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10652 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10653 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10654 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10655 openssl verify ss.pem
10656 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10657 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10658 is OK.
10659 [Steve Henson]
10660
10661 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10662 (and add it to external session representation).
10663 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10664 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10665 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10666 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10667 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10668 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10669 security holes.
10670 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10671
10672 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10673 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10674 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10675 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10676
10677 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10678 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10679 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10680 [Steve Henson]
10681
10682 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10683 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10684 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10685 code.
10686 [Steve Henson]
10687
10688 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10689 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10690 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10691
10692 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10693 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10694 certificate auxiliary information.
10695 [Steve Henson]
10696
10697 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10698 the 'enc' command.
10699 [Steve Henson]
10700
10701 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10702 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10703 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10704 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10705 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10706 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10707 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10708 [Richard Levitte]
10709
10710 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10711 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10712 [Steve Henson]
10713
10714 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10715 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10716 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10717 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10718 [Steve Henson]
10719
10720 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10721 [Steve Henson]
10722
10723 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10724 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10725 [Steve Henson]
10726
10727 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10728 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10729 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10730 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10731 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10732 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10733 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10734 using the new 'x509' options.
10735
10736 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10737 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10738 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10739 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10740 for all purposes.
10741 [Steve Henson]
10742
10743 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10744 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10745 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10746 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10747 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10748 [Mark Cox]
10749
10750 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10751 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10752 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10753 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10754 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10755 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10756 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10757 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10758 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10759 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10760 [Steve Henson]
10761
10762 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10763 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10764 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10765 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10766 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10767 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10768 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10769 [Steve Henson]
10770
10771 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10772 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10773 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10774 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10775 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10776 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10777 openssl.cnf for more info.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10781 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10782 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10783 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10784 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10785 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10786 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10787 md should be large enough anyway.
10788 [Bodo Moeller]
10789
10790 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10791 for handling the random seed file.
10792
10793 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10794 ca,
10795 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10796 s_client,
10797 s_server,
10798 x509 (when signing).
10799 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10800 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10801 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10802
10803 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10804 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10805 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10806 that support '-rand'.
10807 [Bodo Moeller]
10808
10809 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10810 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10811 [Bodo Moeller]
10812
10813 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10814 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10815 [Bill Perry]
10816
10817 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10818 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10819 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10820 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10821 is suitable.
10822 [Steve Henson]
10823
10824 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10825 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10826 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10827 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10828 [Steve Henson]
10829
10830 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10831 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10832 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10833 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10834 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10835 print out all the purposes.
10836 [Steve Henson]
10837
10838 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10839 functions.
10840 [Steve Henson]
10841
10842 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10843 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10844 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10845 single function call.
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10849 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10850 [Andy Polyakov]
10851
10852 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10853 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10854 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10855 [Steve Henson]
10856
10857 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10858 when producing the local key id.
10859 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10860
10861 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10862 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10863 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10864 "server.pem".
10865 [Steve Henson]
10866
10867 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10868 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10869 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10870 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10871 [Steve Henson]
10872
10873 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10874 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10875 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10876 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10877
10878 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10879 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10880 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10881 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10882
10883 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10884 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10885 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10886 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10887 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10888 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10889 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10890 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10891 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10892 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10893 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10894 trivial: move one line.
10895 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10896
10897 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10898 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10899 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10900 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10901 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10902 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10903 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10904 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10905 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10906 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10907 with an event loop for example.
10908 [Steve Henson]
10909
10910 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10911 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10912 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10913 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10914 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10915 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10916 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10917 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10918 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10919 [Steve Henson]
10920
10921 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10922 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10923 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10924 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10925 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10926 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10927 [Steve Henson]
10928
10929 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10930 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10931 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10932 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10933
10934 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10935 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10936 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10937 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10938 key generation.
10939 [Steve Henson]
10940
10941 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10942 (still largely untested)
10943 [Bodo Moeller]
10944
10945 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10946 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10947 [Steve Henson]
10948
10949 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10950 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10951 [Steve Henson]
10952
10953 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10954 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10955 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10956 [Bodo Moeller]
10957
10958 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10959 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10960 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10961 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10962 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10963 [Steve Henson]
10964
10965 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10966 [Andy Polyakov]
10967
10968 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10969 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10970 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10971 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10972 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10973 in ca.
10974 [Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10977 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10978 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10979 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10980 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10981 [Steve Henson]
10982
10983 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10984 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10985 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10986 are otherwise ignored at present.
10987 [Steve Henson]
10988
10989 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10990 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10991 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10992 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10993 copied until the next read.
10994 [Steve Henson]
10995
10996 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10997 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10998 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10999 [Steve Henson]
11000
11001 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11002 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11003 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11004 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11005 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11006 associated functions.
11007 [Steve Henson]
11008
11009 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11010 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11011 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11012 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11013 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11014 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11015 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11016 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11017 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11018 memory BIOs.
11019 [Steve Henson]
11020
11021 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11022 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11023 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11024 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11025 [Bodo Moeller]
11026
11027 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11028 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11029 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11030 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11031 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11032 functionality.
11033 [Steve Henson]
11034
11035 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11036 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11037 under Win32.
11038 [Steve Henson]
11039
11040 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11041 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11042 extensions to be obtained and added.
11043 [Steve Henson]
11044
11045 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11046 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11047 [Bodo Moeller]
11048
11049 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11050
11051 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11053
11054 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11055 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11056
11057 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11058 program.
11059 [Steve Henson]
11060
11061 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11062 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11063 DH parameters contain its length).
11064
11065 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11066 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11067 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11068 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11069 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11070 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11071 utter importance to use
11072 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11073 or
11074 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11075 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11076 attacks may become possible!
11077 [Bodo Moeller]
11078
11079 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11080 [Bodo Moeller]
11081
11082 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11083 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11084 [Steve Henson]
11085
11086 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11087 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11088 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11089 or long name.
11090 [Steve Henson]
11091
11092 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11093 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11094 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11095 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11096 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11097 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11098 private key operations.
11099 [Steve Henson]
11100
11101 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11102 [Andy Polyakov]
11103
11104 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11105 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11106 to
11107 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11108 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11109 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11110 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11111 the password callback is called.
11112 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11113
11114 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11115
11116 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11117 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11118 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11119 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11120 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11121 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11122 this will work.
11123
11124 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11125 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11126 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11127 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11128 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11129 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11130 [Bodo Moeller]
11131
11132 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11133 [Andy Polyakov]
11134
11135 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11136 delete an unused file.
11137 [Ulf Möller]
11138
11139 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11140 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11141 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11142 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11143 [Steve Henson]
11144
11145 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11146 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11147 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11148 of an error.
11149 [Bodo Moeller]
11150
11151 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11152 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11153 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11154
11155 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11156 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11157 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11158 comparison" warnings.
11159 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11160 [Steve Henson]
11161
11162 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11163 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11164 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11168 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11169
11170 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11171 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11172
11173 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11174 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11175 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11176
11177 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11178 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11179 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11180 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11181 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11182 this bug.
11183 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11184
11185 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11186 The interface is as follows:
11187 Applications can use
11188 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11189 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11190 "off" is now the default.
11191 The library internally uses
11192 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11193 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11194 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11195
11196 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11197 even the default) are now avoided.
11198
11199 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11200 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11201 than just having a counter.
11202
11203 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11204
11205 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11206 extensions.
11207 [Bodo Moeller]
11208
11209 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11210 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11211 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11212 Initial "mode" flags are:
11213
11214 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11215 a single record has been written.
11216 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11217 retries use the same buffer location.
11218 (But all of the contents must be
11219 copied!)
11220 [Bodo Moeller]
11221
11222 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11223 worked.
11224
11225 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11226 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11227
11228 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11229 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11230 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11231 [Steve Henson]
11232
11233 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11234 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11235 test programs.
11236 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11237
11238 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11239 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11240 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11241 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11242 point to the end.
11243 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11244 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11245
11246 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11247 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11248 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11249 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11250 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11251 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11252 [Steve Henson]
11253
11254 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11255 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11256 necessary function names.
11257 [Steve Henson]
11258
11259 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11260 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11261 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11262 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11263 [Bodo Moeller]
11264
11265 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11266 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11267 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11268 [Steve Henson]
11269
11270 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11271 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11272 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11273 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11274 such programs?)
11275 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11276 need locks.
11277 [Bodo Moeller]
11278
11279 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11280 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11281 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11282 [Bodo Moeller]
11283
11284 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11285 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11286 appropriate.
11287 [Bodo Moeller]
11288
11289 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11290 for the encoded length.
11291 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11292
11293 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11294 [Steve Henson]
11295
11296 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11297 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11298 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11299 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11300 [Steve Henson]
11301
11302 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11303 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11305
11306 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11307 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11308 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11309 unusual formatting.
11310 [Steve Henson]
11311
11312 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11313 to use the new extension code.
11314 [Steve Henson]
11315
11316 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11317 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11318 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11319 constant.
11320 [Steve Henson]
11321
11322 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11323 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11324 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11325 [Bodo Moeller]
11326
11327 #if 0
11328 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11329 [Ben Laurie]
11330 #else
11331 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11332 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11333 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11334 #endif
11335
11336 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11337 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11338 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11339 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11340 [Ben Laurie]
11341
11342 *) DES library cleanups.
11343 [Ulf Möller]
11344
11345 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11346 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11347 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11348 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11349 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11350 of v2.0.
11351 [Steve Henson]
11352
11353 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11354 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11355 [Bodo Moeller]
11356
11357 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11358 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11359 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11360 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11361 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11362 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11363 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11364 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11365 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11366 [Steve Henson]
11367
11368 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11369 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11370 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11371 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11372 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11373 value doesn't matter.
11374 [Steve Henson]
11375
11376 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11377 support mutable.
11378 [Ben Laurie]
11379
11380 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11381 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11382 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11383 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11384
11385 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11386 [Ulf Möller]
11387
11388 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11389 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11390 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11391
11392 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11393 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11394
11395 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11396 [Ben Laurie]
11397
11398 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11399 [Ben Laurie]
11400
11401 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11402 [Ben Laurie]
11403
11404 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11405 [Bodo Moeller]
11406
11407
11408 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11409
11410 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11411
11412 *) Updated some demos.
11413 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11414
11415 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11416 [Wu Zhigang]
11417
11418 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11419 [Steve Henson]
11420
11421 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11422 [Steve Henson]
11423
11424 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11425 instead of using a fixed path.
11426 [Bodo Moeller]
11427
11428 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11429 [Andy Polyakov]
11430
11431 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11432 [Richard Levitte]
11433
11434
11435 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11436
11437 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11438 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11439 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11440
11441 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11442 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11443 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11444 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11445 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11446 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11447 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11448 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11449 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11450 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11451 [Steve Henson]
11452
11453 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11454 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11455 [Steve Henson]
11456
11457 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11458 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11459 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11460 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11461 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11462
11463 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11464 [Bodo Moeller]
11465
11466 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11467 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11468 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11469 [Steve Henson]
11470
11471 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11472 [Ben Laurie]
11473
11474 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11475 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11476 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11477 key elements as negative integers.
11478 [Steve Henson]
11479
11480 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11481 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11482
11483 *) VMS support.
11484 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11485
11486 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11487 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11488 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11489 [Steve Henson]
11490
11491 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11492 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11493 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11494 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11495 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11496 [Bodo Moeller]
11497
11498 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11499 [Ulf Möller]
11500
11501 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11502 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11503 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11504 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11505
11506 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11507 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11508 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11509
11510 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11511 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11512 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11513 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11514 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11515 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11516 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11517 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11518 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11519
11520 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11521 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11522 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11523 does not influence s as it used to.
11524
11525 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11526 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11527 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11528 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11529 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11530 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11531 [Bodo Moeller]
11532
11533 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11534 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11535 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11536 key type.
11537 [Steve Henson]
11538
11539 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11540 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11541 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11542 and 'x509').
11543 [Steve Henson]
11544
11545 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11546 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11547 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11548 extension option.
11549 [Steve Henson]
11550
11551 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11552 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11553 [Ben Laurie]
11554
11555 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11556 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11557
11558 *) Support Mingw32.
11559 [Ulf Möller]
11560
11561 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11562 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11563
11564 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11565 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11566
11567 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11568 [Ulf Möller]
11569
11570 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11571 [Anonymous]
11572
11573 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11575
11576 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11577 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11578 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11579 DER-encoded.)
11580 [Bodo Moeller]
11581
11582 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11583 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11584 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11585 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11586 now it really counts the depth.
11587 [Bodo Moeller]
11588
11589 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11590 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11591 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11592 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11593 didn't match the private key).
11594
11595 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11596 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11597 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11598 [Bodo Moeller]
11599
11600 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11601 [Ulf Möller]
11602
11603 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11604 David Harris.
11605 [Bodo Moeller]
11606
11607 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11608 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11609 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11610 [Bodo Moeller]
11611
11612 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11613 [Bodo Moeller]
11614
11615 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11616 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11617 such as /usr/local/bin.
11618 [Bodo Moeller]
11619
11620 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11621 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11622
11623 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11624 [Ulf Möller]
11625
11626 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11627 extension adding in x509 utility.
11628 [Steve Henson]
11629
11630 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11631 [Ulf Möller]
11632
11633 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11634 prototypes.
11635 [Steve Henson]
11636
11637 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11638 [Ulf Möller]
11639
11640 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11641 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11642 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11643 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11644 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11645 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11646 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11647 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11648 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11649 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11653 [Bodo Moeller]
11654
11655 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11656 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11657 [Bodo Moeller]
11658
11659 *) Fix some race conditions.
11660 [Bodo Moeller]
11661
11662 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11663 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11664 [Steve Henson]
11665
11666 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11667 [Ulf Möller]
11668
11669 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11670 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11671 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11672 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11673
11674 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11675 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11676
11677 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11678 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11679 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11680
11681 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11682 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11683
11684 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11685 [Ulf Möller]
11686
11687 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11688 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11689
11690 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11691 [Ulf Möller]
11692
11693 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11694 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11695
11696 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11697 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11698 [Steve Henson]
11699
11700 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11701 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11702 [Ben Laurie]
11703
11704 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11705 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11706 [Steve Henson]
11707
11708 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11709 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11710 [Steve Henson]
11711
11712 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11713 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11714 [Steve Henson]
11715
11716 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11717 support typesafe stack.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11721 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11722
11723 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11724 old X509V3 handling code.
11725 [Steve Henson]
11726
11727 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11728 [Ulf Möller]
11729
11730 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11731 [Bodo Moeller]
11732
11733 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11734 [Ben Laurie]
11735
11736 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11737 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11738
11739 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11740 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11741 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11742 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11743 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11744 [Ben Laurie]
11745
11746 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11747 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11748 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11749 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11750 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11751
11752 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11753 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11754 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11755 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11756
11757 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11758 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11759 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11761
11762 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11763 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11764 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11765 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11766 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11767 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11768 [Bodo Moeller]
11769
11770 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11771 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11772 [Bodo Moeller]
11773
11774 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11775 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11776 [Ulf Möller]
11777
11778 *) Tweaks to Configure
11779 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11780
11781 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11782 yet...
11783 [Steve Henson]
11784
11785 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11786 [Ulf Möller]
11787
11788 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11789 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11790 [Ulf Möller]
11791
11792 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11793 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11794 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11795 [Bodo Moeller]
11796
11797 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11798 [Bodo Moeller]
11799
11800 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11801 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11802 [Steve Henson]
11803
11804 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11805 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11806 to library startup routines.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11810 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11811 codes along the way.
11812 [Steve Henson]
11813
11814 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11815 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11816 objects to objects.h
11817 [Steve Henson]
11818
11819 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11820 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11824 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11825
11826 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11827 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11828 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11829
11830 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11831 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11832 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11833
11834 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11835 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11836 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11837
11838
11839 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11840
11841 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11842 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11843 [Ben Laurie]
11844
11845 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11846 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11847 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11848 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11849 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11850
11851 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11852 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11853 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11854 document.
11855 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11856
11857 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11858 Malloc, Free.
11859 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11860
11861 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11862 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11863
11864 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11865 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11866 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11867 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11868
11869 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11870 [Ben Laurie]
11871
11872 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11873 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11874 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11875 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11876 [Steve Henson]
11877
11878 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11879 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11880 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11881 [Steve Henson]
11882
11883 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11884 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11885 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11886 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11887 installed as `perl').
11888 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11889
11890 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11891 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11892
11893 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11894 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11895 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11896 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11897 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11901 [Ben Laurie]
11902
11903 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11904 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11905 is horrible: I feel ill....
11906 [Steve Henson]
11907
11908 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11909 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11910 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11911 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11912 [Steve Henson]
11913
11914 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11915 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11916
11917 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11918 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11919 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11920 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11921
11922 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11923 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11924 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11925 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11926 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11927 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11928 openssl_bio.xs.
11929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11930
11931 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11932 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11933
11934 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11935 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11936
11937 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11938 [Ben Laurie]
11939
11940 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11941 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11942 in CRLs.
11943 [Steve Henson]
11944
11945 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11946 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11947 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11948 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11949 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11950 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11951 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11952 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11953 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11954 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11955 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11956
11957 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11958 [Ben Laurie]
11959
11960 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11961 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11962 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11963 for linking it into DSOs.
11964 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11965
11966 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11967 Fixed.
11968 [Ben Laurie]
11969
11970 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11971 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11972 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11973 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11974 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11975 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11976
11977 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11978 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11979 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11980 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11981 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11982 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11983 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11984
11985 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11986 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11987 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11988 encryption.
11989 [Ben Laurie]
11990
11991 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11992 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11993 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11994 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11995 [Steve Henson]
11996
11997 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11998 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11999 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12000 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12001 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12002 field as blank.
12003 [Steve Henson]
12004
12005 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12006 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12007 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12008 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12010
12011 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12012 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12013 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12014
12015 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12016 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12017
12018 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12019 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12020 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12021 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12022 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12023 [Steve Henson]
12024
12025 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12026 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12027 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12028 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12029 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12030 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12031 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12032 [Ben Laurie]
12033
12034 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12035 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12036 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12037 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12038 [Ben Laurie]
12039
12040 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12041 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12042
12043 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12044 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12045 [Steve Henson]
12046
12047 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12048 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12049 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12050 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12051 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12052 (e.g. s_server).
12053 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12054 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12055 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12056 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12057 no way to reconfigure them.
12058 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12059 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12060 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12061 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12062 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12063 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12064
12065 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12066 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12067 recognized by the users.
12068 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12069
12070 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12071 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12072 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12073 already masked variable.
12074 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12075
12076 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12077 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12078
12079 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12080 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12081 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12082 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12083
12084 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12085 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12086 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12087
12088 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12089 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12090 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12091 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12092 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12093 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12094 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12095 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12096 now, too.
12097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12098
12099 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12100 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12101 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12102
12103 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12104 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12105 config file.
12106 [Steve Henson]
12107
12108 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12109 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12110
12111 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12112 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12113 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12114 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12115 [Ben Laurie]
12116
12117 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12118 [Steve Henson]
12119
12120 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12121 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12122
12123 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12124 [Ben Laurie]
12125
12126 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12127 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12128 [Steve Henson]
12129
12130 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12131 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12132 [Steve Henson]
12133
12134 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12135 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12136 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12137 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12138 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12139 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12140 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12141 Ben Laurie]
12142
12143 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12144 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12145
12146 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12147 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12148 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12149 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12150 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12151
12152 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12153 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12154 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12155 [Steve Henson]
12156
12157 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12158 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12159 an example.
12160 [Steve Henson]
12161
12162 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12163 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12164 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12165
12166 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12167 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12168 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12169 build instructions.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12173 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12174 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12175 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12176 [Steve Henson]
12177
12178 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12179 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12180 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12181 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12182 [Ben Laurie]
12183
12184 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12185 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12186 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12187 so it wasn't spotted.
12188 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12189
12190 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12191 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12192 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12193 vectors if you have them.
12194 [Ben Laurie]
12195
12196 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12197 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12198 [Ben Laurie]
12199
12200 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12201 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12202 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12203 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12204 If you do a:
12205 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12206 it will update them.
12207 [Steve Henson]
12208
12209 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12210 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12211 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12212 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12213 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12214 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12215 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12216 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12217
12218 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12219 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12220 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12221 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12222 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12223 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12224 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12225 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12226 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12227 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12228
12229 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12230 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12231 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12232 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12233 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12234 [Steve Henson]
12235
12236 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12237 INTEGER code.
12238 [Steve Henson]
12239
12240 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12241 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12242
12243 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12244 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12245
12246 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12247 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12248 [Ben Laurie]
12249
12250 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12251 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12252
12253 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12254 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12255
12256 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12257 [Steve Henson]
12258
12259 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12260 few typos.
12261 [Steve Henson]
12262
12263 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12264 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12265 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12266 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12267
12268 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12269 [Steve Henson]
12270
12271 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12272 [Steve Henson]
12273
12274 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12275 [Steve Henson]
12276
12277 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12278 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12282 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12283 CA extensions.
12284 [Steve Henson]
12285
12286 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12287 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12288 [Steve Henson]
12289
12290 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12291 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12292 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12293 [Steve Henson]
12294
12295 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12296 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12297 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12298 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12299 properly to be processed.
12300 [Steve Henson]
12301
12302 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12303 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12304 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12305 [Ben Laurie]
12306
12307 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12308 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12309
12310 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12311 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12312 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12313 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12314 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12315 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12316 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12317 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12318 or delete all the .err files.
12319 [Steve Henson]
12320
12321 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12322 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12323 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12324 to regenerate it if needed.
12325 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12326 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12327
12328 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12329 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12330
12331 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12332 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12333 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12334 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12335 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12336 [Steve Henson]
12337
12338 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12339 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12340
12341 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12342 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12343
12344 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12345 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12346 error, but didn't set one).
12347 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12348
12349 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12350 [Ben Laurie]
12351
12352 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12353 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12354 [Steve Henson]
12355
12356 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12357 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12358
12359 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12360 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12361 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12362 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12363 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12364 OID is not part of the table.
12365 [Steve Henson]
12366
12367 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12368 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12369 [Ben Laurie]
12370
12371 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12372 [Ben Laurie]
12373
12374 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12375 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12376 was "1234").
12377 [Steve Henson]
12378
12379 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12380 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12381
12382 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12383 NULL pointers.
12384 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12385
12386 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12387 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12388
12389 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12390 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12391
12392 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12393 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12394
12395 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12396 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12397 [Ben Laurie]
12398
12399 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12400 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12401 [Steve Henson]
12402
12403 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12404 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12405
12406 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12407 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12408
12409 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12410 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12411
12412 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12413 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12414
12415 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12416 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12417 unused in the certificate verification process.
12418 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12419
12420 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12421 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12422 [Steve Henson]
12423
12424 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12425 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12426 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12427
12428 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12429 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12430 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12431 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12432 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12433
12434 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12435 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12436 [Steve Henson]
12437
12438 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12439 [Steve Henson]
12440
12441 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12442 [Paul Sutton]
12443
12444 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12445 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12446
12447 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12448 [Ben Laurie]
12449
12450 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12451 [Ben Laurie]
12452
12453 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12454 [Ben Laurie]
12455
12456 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12457 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12458 other error libraries.
12459 [Steve Henson]
12460
12461 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12462 [Steve Henson]
12463
12464 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12465 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12466 be read in.
12467 [Steve Henson]
12468
12469 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12470 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12471 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12472 the new set of documentation files.
12473 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12474
12475 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12476 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12477 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12478 number of arguments.
12479 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12480
12481 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12482 [Ben Laurie]
12483
12484 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12485 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12486 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12487
12488 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12489 [Ben Laurie]
12490
12491 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12492 nextstep
12493 ncr-scde
12494 unixware-2.0
12495 unixware-2.0-pentium
12496 sco5-cc.
12497 [Ben Laurie]
12498
12499 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12500 before they are needed.
12501 [Ben Laurie]
12502
12503 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12504 [Ben Laurie]
12505
12506
12507 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12508
12509 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12510 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12511 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12512
12513 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12514 [Paul Sutton]
12515
12516 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12517 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12519
12520 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12521 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12522 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12523
12524 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12525 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12526 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12527
12528 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12529 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12530
12531 *) Updated the README file.
12532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12533
12534 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12535 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12536 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12537
12538 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12539 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12541
12542 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12543 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12544 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12545 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12546 o removed obsolete TODO file
12547 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12548 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12549
12550 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12551 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12552 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12553 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12554 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12555 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12557
12558 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12559 [Mark J. Cox]
12560
12561 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12562 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12563 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12564 summer 1998.

12577 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12578 [Eric A. Young]
12579
12580 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12581 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12582 available).
12583 [Eric A. Young]
12584
12585 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12586 binary structures

12642 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12643 [Eric A. Young]
12644
12645 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12646 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12647 [Eric A. Young]
12648
12649 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
