5 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
9 [Adam Langley (Google)]
11 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. (CVE-2011-4619)
12 [Adam Langley (Google)]
14 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
15 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
16 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
17 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
19 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
20 [Adam Langley (Google)]
22 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
23 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
25 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
26 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
27 [Adam Langley (Google)]
29 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
30 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
31 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
33 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
34 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
35 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
36 the last update always remained unused).
37 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
39 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
40 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
41 [Adam Langley (Google)]
43 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
46 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
47 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
49 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
51 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
53 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
55 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
56 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
58 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
59 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
63 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
65 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
66 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
67 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
70 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
71 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
72 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
75 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
77 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
78 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
79 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
82 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
85 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
86 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
87 some broken encodings work correctly.
90 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
91 is also one of the inputs.
92 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
94 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
95 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
96 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
100 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
102 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
105 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
106 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
107 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
109 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
110 common in certificates and some applications which only call
111 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
115 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
116 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
117 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
118 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
120 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
122 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
123 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
124 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
125 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
126 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
127 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
128 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
129 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
131 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
132 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
133 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
135 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
137 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
138 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
140 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
141 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
144 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
145 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
146 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
149 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
150 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
151 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
152 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
153 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
154 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
157 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
158 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
159 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
162 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
163 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
164 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
165 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
166 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
167 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
171 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
172 change when encrypting or decrypting.
175 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
176 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
177 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
180 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
183 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
184 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
185 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
186 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
187 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
188 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
189 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
190 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
191 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
194 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
195 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
196 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
199 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
200 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
203 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
204 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
205 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
206 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
207 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
208 know what you are doing.
209 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
211 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
212 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
213 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
214 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
215 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
216 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
220 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
221 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
222 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
224 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
226 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
227 warnings in other configurations.
230 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
231 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
232 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
234 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
236 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
237 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
238 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
240 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
241 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
242 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
243 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
246 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
250 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
251 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
253 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
255 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
256 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
257 other than a simple chain.
258 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
260 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
261 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
262 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
263 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
266 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
267 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
268 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
269 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
270 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
271 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
272 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
273 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
274 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
276 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
277 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
278 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
279 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
280 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
281 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
283 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
285 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
286 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
289 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
290 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
293 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
295 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
297 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
298 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
299 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
300 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
301 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
305 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
307 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
308 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
309 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
310 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
312 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
313 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
314 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
315 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
317 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
318 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
319 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
322 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
323 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
327 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
328 to handle some structures.
331 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
333 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
335 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
338 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
341 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
344 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
345 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
349 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
351 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
353 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
355 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
358 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
359 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
360 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
361 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
363 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
364 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
366 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
367 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
370 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
371 s_client and s_server.
374 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
375 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
377 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
378 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
380 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
381 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
382 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
383 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
384 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
387 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
389 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
390 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
393 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
394 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
397 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
398 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
399 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
400 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
402 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
403 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
405 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
407 *) Various precautionary measures:
409 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
411 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
412 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
413 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
415 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
416 outside the expected range.
418 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
421 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
423 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
424 the load fails. Useful for distros.
425 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
427 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
430 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
433 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
435 This work was sponsored by Logica.
438 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
439 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
440 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
442 This work was sponsored by Logica.
445 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
446 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
447 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
451 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
453 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
454 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
455 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
456 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
458 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
459 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
462 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
464 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
465 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
466 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
468 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
470 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
471 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
472 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
473 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
476 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
477 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
478 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
479 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
480 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
481 invalid read after the end of 'db').
482 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
484 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
486 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
487 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
488 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
489 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
490 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
492 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
493 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
495 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
496 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
497 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
498 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
499 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
501 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
503 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
504 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
505 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
506 sets may exist with different names.
509 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
510 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
511 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
512 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
513 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
514 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
515 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
516 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
517 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
519 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
521 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
522 implemention in the following ways:
524 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
527 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
528 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
529 ignored for embedded content.
531 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
532 with the enable-cms configuration option.
535 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
536 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
537 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
538 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
540 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
541 uncompresses any data passed through it.
544 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
545 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
548 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
549 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
550 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
551 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
552 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
553 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
557 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
558 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
559 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
563 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
564 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
565 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
566 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
567 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
568 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
569 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
570 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
572 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
573 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
574 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
575 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
576 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
577 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
578 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
580 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
581 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
582 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
583 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
584 to s_client and s_server.
587 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
590 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
591 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
592 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
593 + Fix ia64 assembler code
594 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
596 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
598 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
599 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
600 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
601 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
602 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
603 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
604 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
605 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
608 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
609 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
610 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
613 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
614 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
615 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
618 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
619 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
622 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
623 protection in servers so again support should be possible
624 with no application modification.
626 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
627 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
629 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
630 or server extensions to be examined.
632 This work was sponsored by Google.
635 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
636 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
637 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
638 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
639 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
640 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
641 server_name extension.
643 New functions (subject to change):
646 SSL_get_servername_type()
649 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
651 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
652 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
653 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
654 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
655 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
657 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
659 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
660 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
661 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
662 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
663 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
664 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
667 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
669 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
672 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
675 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
676 (which previously caused an internal error).
679 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
682 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
683 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
685 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
686 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
687 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
689 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
690 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
691 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
692 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
694 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
695 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
696 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
699 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
700 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
701 information. For detailed background information, see
702 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
703 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
704 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
705 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
706 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
707 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
708 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
709 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
710 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
711 remove a conditional branch.
713 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
714 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
715 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
716 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
717 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
718 remains as a deprecated alias.
720 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
721 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
722 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
723 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
725 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
726 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
727 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
728 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
729 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
730 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
731 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
732 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
734 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
736 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
737 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
738 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
739 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
740 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
741 with applications using a single external cache for quite
742 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
743 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
744 in a different context.
747 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
748 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
749 authentication-only ciphersuites.
752 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
753 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
754 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
756 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
758 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
759 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
760 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
761 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
762 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
765 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
766 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
767 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
768 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
769 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
770 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
773 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
774 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
775 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
776 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
777 message has informed the client about his choice.)
780 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
781 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
783 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
784 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
785 Improve header file function name parsing.
788 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
789 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
792 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
794 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
795 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
796 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
798 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
799 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
801 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
802 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
804 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
805 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
806 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
808 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
809 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
810 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
811 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
812 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
813 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
814 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
815 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
816 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
818 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
819 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
820 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
821 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
822 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
824 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
825 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
826 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
827 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
828 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
829 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
830 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
831 multiple values to extend the available space.
835 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
837 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
838 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
840 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
843 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
844 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
845 undesirable limitations.
846 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
848 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
849 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
850 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
851 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
852 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
853 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
854 to avoid potential handshake problems.
857 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
859 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
860 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
861 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
863 The latter two were purportedly from
864 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
867 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
868 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
869 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
872 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
873 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
876 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
877 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
878 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
879 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
881 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
882 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
883 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
886 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
887 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
888 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
889 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
890 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
891 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
894 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
896 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
897 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
900 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
901 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
903 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
904 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
905 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
906 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
909 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
910 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
913 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
914 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
915 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
916 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
917 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
918 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
919 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
923 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
924 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
925 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
926 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
929 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
930 under VC++ build system.
933 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
934 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
937 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
939 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
940 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
941 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
942 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
943 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
945 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
946 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
947 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
949 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
952 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
953 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
956 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
957 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
959 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
962 *) Extended Windows CE support.
963 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
965 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
966 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
969 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
970 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
974 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
976 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
979 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
982 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
983 key into the same file any more.
986 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
989 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
990 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
992 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
993 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
996 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
997 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
998 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
999 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1000 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1001 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1003 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1004 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1005 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1008 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1009 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1010 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1011 - add new function for parameter creation
1012 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1013 BN_BLINDING parameters
1014 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1015 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1016 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1020 *) Add support for DTLS.
1021 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1023 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1024 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1027 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1028 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1031 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1032 the apps/openssl applications.
1035 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1036 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1037 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1040 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1041 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1043 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1044 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1046 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1047 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1048 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1049 avoid this algorithm.)
1053 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1054 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1055 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1058 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1059 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1062 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1063 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1064 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1067 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1069 The blank line is mandatory.
1073 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1074 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1078 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1079 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1081 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1082 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1083 to support policy checking and print out.
1086 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1087 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1088 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1089 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1091 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1094 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1095 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1097 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1098 implementation contributed by IBM.
1099 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1101 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1102 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1103 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1104 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1106 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1107 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1109 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1110 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1111 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1112 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1113 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1114 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1117 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1118 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1119 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1120 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1121 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1122 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1123 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1126 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1129 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1130 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1131 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1132 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1133 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1134 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1135 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1136 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1139 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1140 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1141 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1142 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1145 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1148 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1151 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1152 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1153 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1154 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1155 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1156 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1157 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1160 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1161 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1164 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1165 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1166 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1169 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1170 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1171 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1175 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1176 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1179 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1180 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1181 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1182 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1185 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1186 initialised value as BN_new().
1187 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1189 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1192 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1193 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1194 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1195 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1196 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1197 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1198 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1199 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1200 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1201 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1202 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1203 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1204 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1205 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1206 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1208 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1209 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1210 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1211 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1214 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1215 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1216 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1217 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1218 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1219 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1220 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1221 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1222 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1225 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1226 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1227 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1228 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1229 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1230 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1231 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1234 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1235 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1236 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1237 these have been updated also.
1240 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1241 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1242 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1243 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1244 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1248 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1249 structure of type "other".
1252 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1253 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1254 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1255 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1256 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1257 situation in the script.
1258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1260 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1261 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1262 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1263 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1264 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1265 used as premaster secret.
1266 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1268 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1269 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1270 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1272 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1273 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1275 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1276 control of the error stack.
1279 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1282 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1283 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1284 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1285 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1288 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1289 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1290 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1293 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1294 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1295 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1299 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1300 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1301 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1302 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1305 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1306 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1307 the following flags are defined:
1309 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1310 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1311 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1314 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1315 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1316 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1317 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1321 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1322 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1323 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1324 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1325 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1328 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1329 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1330 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1333 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1334 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1335 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1336 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1337 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1338 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1341 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1345 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1348 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1351 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1354 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1355 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1356 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1357 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1358 default implementation more easily.
1361 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1365 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1366 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1369 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1370 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1371 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1372 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1374 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1375 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1376 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1377 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1380 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1381 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1385 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1386 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1387 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1388 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1389 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1390 scalar * generator).
1391 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1393 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1394 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1395 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1399 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1400 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1401 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1402 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1403 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1404 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1405 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1406 linker additions, eg;
1407 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1410 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1411 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1412 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1415 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1416 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1417 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1421 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1422 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1423 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1424 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1427 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1428 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1429 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1430 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1431 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1432 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1433 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1434 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1435 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1436 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1438 Example for using the new callback interface:
1440 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1444 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1446 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1447 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1448 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1449 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1450 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1451 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1456 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1457 available to TLS with the number defined in
1458 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1461 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1462 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1464 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1465 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1466 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1467 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1469 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1470 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1472 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1473 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1477 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1478 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1481 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1482 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1483 and a macro that behave like
1484 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1486 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1489 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1490 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1491 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1493 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1495 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1498 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1499 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1500 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1501 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1503 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1504 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1505 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1506 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1507 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1508 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1509 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1510 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1512 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1513 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1516 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1517 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1519 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1520 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1521 files while avoiding the low level API.
1523 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1524 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1525 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1526 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1528 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1529 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1530 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1531 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1532 instead of the low level API.
1535 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1536 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1537 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1538 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1539 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1542 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1543 down to the template encoder.
1546 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1547 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1550 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1551 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1552 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1553 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1555 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1556 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1558 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1559 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1561 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1562 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1565 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1566 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1567 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1570 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1571 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1573 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1574 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1576 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1577 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1580 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1584 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1585 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1586 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1587 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1588 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1589 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1591 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1592 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1595 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1596 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1597 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1598 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1599 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1600 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1601 various internal method names.)
1603 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1604 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1606 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1607 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1609 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1610 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1612 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1613 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1614 methods are undefined.
1616 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1617 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1619 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1620 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1621 length of the modulus.
1623 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1624 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1626 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1627 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1629 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1630 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1632 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1633 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1634 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1637 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1638 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1639 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1640 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1642 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1643 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1644 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1645 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1647 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1648 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1650 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1651 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1652 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1653 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1654 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1656 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1657 This applies to the following functions:
1662 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1663 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1665 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1666 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1670 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1675 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1677 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1678 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1679 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1680 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1681 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1683 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1684 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1686 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1687 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1688 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1690 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1691 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1693 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1694 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1695 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1696 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1697 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1699 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1701 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1702 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1703 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1704 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1705 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1706 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1707 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1708 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1709 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1710 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1711 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1712 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1714 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1717 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1718 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1719 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1720 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1722 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1723 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1724 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1725 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1730 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1731 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1732 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1733 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1734 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1736 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1737 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1738 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1739 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1740 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1741 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1742 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1743 adding different types of curves.
1744 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1746 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1747 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1748 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1751 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1752 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1754 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1755 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1756 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1757 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1759 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1761 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1762 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1764 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1765 library. Most notably,
1766 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1767 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1768 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1769 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1770 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1771 extracted before the specific public key;
1772 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1773 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1775 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1776 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1778 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1779 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1780 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1781 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1783 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1784 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1785 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1787 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1788 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1789 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1790 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1791 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1792 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1796 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1798 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1800 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1802 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1803 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1804 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1807 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1808 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1809 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1812 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1815 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1816 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1819 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1820 run algorithm test programs.
1823 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1826 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1827 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1828 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1829 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1830 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1833 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1834 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1837 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1839 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1840 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1841 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1843 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1844 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1846 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1847 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1849 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1850 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1851 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1853 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1854 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1855 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1856 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1857 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1858 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1859 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1862 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1864 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1865 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1867 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1868 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1869 undesirable limitations.
1870 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1872 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1874 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1875 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1876 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1878 The latter two were purportedly from
1879 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1882 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1883 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1884 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1887 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1888 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1891 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1893 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1894 module in FIPS mode.
1897 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1900 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1901 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1902 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1903 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1906 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1908 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1909 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1910 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1911 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1912 the difference induced by this change.
1915 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1917 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1918 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1919 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1920 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1921 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1923 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1924 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1925 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1927 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1928 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1931 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1932 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1933 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1934 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1938 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1939 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1940 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1941 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1942 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1944 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1945 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1946 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1947 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1948 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1949 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1951 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1953 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1954 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1955 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1956 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1957 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1960 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1964 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1965 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1966 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1969 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1970 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1971 structures constant.
1974 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1976 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1979 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1980 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1981 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1982 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1983 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1984 some needed definitions.
1987 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1990 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1991 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1992 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1993 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1996 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1998 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1999 server and client random values. Previously
2000 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2001 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2003 This change has negligible security impact because:
2005 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2008 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2011 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2012 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2015 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2018 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2020 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2023 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2024 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2025 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2027 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2030 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2031 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2034 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2035 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2036 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2038 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2041 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2042 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2043 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2047 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2048 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2049 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2050 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2052 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2053 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2054 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2055 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2059 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2061 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2062 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2063 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2064 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2065 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2068 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2071 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2072 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2074 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2075 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2076 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2077 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2078 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2079 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2080 rather than being initialized to 1.
2083 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2085 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2086 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2087 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2089 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2091 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2093 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2094 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2095 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2096 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2097 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2098 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2101 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2102 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2103 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2104 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2105 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2109 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2110 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2111 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2112 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2113 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2116 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2117 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2118 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2122 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2123 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2125 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2128 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2130 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2132 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2133 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2135 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2137 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2138 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2142 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2143 exiting on the first error in a request.
2146 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2147 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2151 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2152 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2153 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2154 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2156 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2157 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2160 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2161 blocks during encryption.
2164 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2165 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2166 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2167 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2171 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2172 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2173 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2174 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2175 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2179 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2181 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2182 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2183 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2184 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2187 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2188 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2189 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2190 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2191 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2193 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2194 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2195 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2196 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2197 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2198 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2199 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2200 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2201 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2204 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2205 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2206 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2207 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2210 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2211 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2214 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2216 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2217 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2218 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2219 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2220 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2222 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2223 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2224 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2226 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2227 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2228 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2229 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2230 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2232 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2233 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2234 used by default when no-err is given.
2237 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2238 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2240 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2241 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2242 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2243 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2244 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2246 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2247 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2248 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2249 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2251 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2253 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2255 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2257 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2258 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2259 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2260 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2264 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2265 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2267 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2268 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2271 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2272 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2273 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2274 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2277 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2278 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2279 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2280 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2281 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2282 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2283 followup to PR #377.
2286 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2287 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2290 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2291 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2292 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2314 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2315 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2316 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2317 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2318 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2319 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2321 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2322 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2323 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2324 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2325 have to be made anyway).
2328 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2329 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2330 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2333 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2334 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2335 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2338 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2339 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2340 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

2343 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2344 edit numbers of the version.

2355 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

2379 representations in a platform independent manner.

2383 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2384 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2386 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2388 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2390 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2391 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2393 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2395 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2397 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2398 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2399 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2401 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2403 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2405 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2406 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2408 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2409 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2411 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2412 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2414 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2415 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2417 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2419 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2421 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2422 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2424 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2425 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2427 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2428 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2430 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2432 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2433 the 0.9.6 release series:
2435 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2436 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2438 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2440 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2443 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2444 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2446 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2447 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2449 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2450 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2451 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2452 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2454 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2455 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2456 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2458 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2459 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2460 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2461 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2463 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2464 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2465 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2468 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2469 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2470 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2471 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2472 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2473 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2474 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2475 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2478 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2479 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2480 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2483 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2484 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2485 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2486 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2487 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2489 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2490 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2492 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2493 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2496 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2497 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2498 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2499 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2500 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2501 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2504 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2505 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2506 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2509 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2510 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2513 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2514 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2515 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2516 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2517 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2518 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2519 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2522 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2523 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2524 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2525 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2526 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2527 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2530 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2531 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2532 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2533 declaration has been changed from
2536 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2537 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2538 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2539 has been changed into
2540 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2542 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2543 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2544 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2546 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2547 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2549 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2550 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2551 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2552 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2553 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2554 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2555 always load it have also been added.
2558 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2559 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2560 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2562 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2564 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2565 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2566 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2568 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2569 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2570 command line option can be used to specify an
2574 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2575 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2578 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2579 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2580 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2583 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2584 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2585 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2586 to work with the new engine framework.
2587 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2589 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2590 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2591 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2592 to work with the new engine framework.
2595 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2596 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2597 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2599 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2600 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2602 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2603 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2604 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2605 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2607 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2609 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2610 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2612 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2613 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2615 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2616 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2617 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2620 *) Add new functions
2622 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2623 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2624 These are similar to
2627 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2628 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2629 still in the error queue.
2630 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2632 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2634 default_algorithms = ALL
2635 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2638 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2641 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2644 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2645 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2646 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2647 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2649 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2650 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2652 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2653 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2655 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2656 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2659 *) New functions/macros
2661 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2662 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2663 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2664 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2666 to request calling a callback function
2668 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2669 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2671 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2672 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2673 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2674 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2675 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2676 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2677 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2678 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2679 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2680 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2682 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2683 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2686 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2687 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2688 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2689 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2690 the configuration scripts.
2692 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2693 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2694 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2696 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2697 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2699 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2700 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2701 when reusing an existing buffer.
2704 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2705 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2708 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2709 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2712 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2713 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2714 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2715 has the same effect.
2716 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2718 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2719 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2720 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2721 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2722 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2723 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2726 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2727 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2728 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2729 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2731 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2732 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2733 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2734 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2736 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2737 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2740 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2741 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2742 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2743 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2744 default), and then completely removed.
2747 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2748 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2749 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2750 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2751 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2752 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2753 particular extension is supported.
2756 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2757 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2760 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2761 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2762 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2763 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2764 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2765 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2766 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2767 requires the destination to be valid.
2769 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2770 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2773 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2774 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2775 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2778 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2779 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2781 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2782 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2783 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2784 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2785 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2786 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2787 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2788 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2789 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2790 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2791 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2792 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2793 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2794 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2795 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2796 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2797 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2798 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2799 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2803 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2806 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2807 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2808 become part of libeay.num as well.
2811 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2812 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2813 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2814 false once a handshake has been completed.
2815 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2816 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2817 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2818 client has followed the request.)
2821 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2822 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2823 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2824 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2826 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2827 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2828 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2831 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2834 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2835 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2836 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2839 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2840 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2843 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2844 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2845 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2846 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2849 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2850 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2851 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2852 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2853 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2854 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2857 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2858 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2859 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2860 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2861 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2862 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2863 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2864 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2867 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2868 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2871 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2874 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2875 md_data void pointer.
2878 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2879 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2880 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2881 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2882 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2883 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2886 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2887 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2888 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2889 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2890 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2891 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2892 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2893 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2894 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2895 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2896 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2897 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2898 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2899 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2900 rather than letting it slide.
2902 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2903 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2904 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2907 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2908 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2909 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2910 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2911 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2912 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2913 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2914 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2915 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2918 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2919 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2920 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2921 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2922 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2924 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2927 *) Add EVP test program.
2930 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2933 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2934 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2935 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2936 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2937 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2940 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2941 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2942 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2943 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2944 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2945 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2946 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2948 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2949 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2950 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2955 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2956 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2957 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2958 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2959 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2963 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2964 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2965 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2966 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2969 des_key_schedule ks;
2971 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2972 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2974 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2977 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2978 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2979 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2980 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2981 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2982 functions prevents this.
2985 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2988 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2989 correct _ecb suffix.
2992 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2993 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2994 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2995 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2996 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2999 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3002 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3003 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3004 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3005 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3007 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3008 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3010 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3011 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3012 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3013 via Richard Levitte]
3015 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3016 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3017 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3018 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3021 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3024 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3025 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3039 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3040 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3042 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3043 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3044 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3045 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3046 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3047 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3050 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3051 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3054 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3055 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3056 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3057 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3059 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3060 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3061 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3062 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3063 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3064 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3068 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3069 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3070 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3071 and interrupts/cancellations.
3074 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3075 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3078 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3079 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3080 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3082 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3083 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3087 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3088 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3089 than this minimum value is recommended.
3092 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3093 that are easily reachable.
3096 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3097 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3099 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3101 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3102 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3103 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3104 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3107 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3108 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3109 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3112 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3113 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3114 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3115 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3116 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3117 internally such as S/MIME.
3119 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3120 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3121 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3123 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3127 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3128 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3129 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3130 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3132 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3134 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3136 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3137 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3138 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3142 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3143 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3144 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3145 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3146 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3147 a window system and the like.
3150 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3151 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3154 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3155 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3156 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3157 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3158 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3159 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3160 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3161 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3162 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3166 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3167 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3171 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3172 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3173 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3174 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3175 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3176 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3177 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3178 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3181 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3182 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3183 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3184 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3185 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3186 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3187 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3188 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3189 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3190 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3191 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3192 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3193 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3194 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3195 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3196 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3197 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3200 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3201 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3202 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3203 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3204 internal engine_int.h header.
3207 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3208 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3209 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3210 modify their own ones).
3213 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3214 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3215 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3216 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3217 later on via ctrl() commands.
3218 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3219 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3220 structural references.
3221 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3222 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3223 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3224 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3225 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3226 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3227 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3228 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3229 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3230 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3231 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3232 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3235 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3236 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3237 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3238 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3239 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3240 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3241 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3242 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3245 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3246 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3249 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3250 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3253 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3254 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3255 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3256 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3257 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3258 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3259 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3262 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3263 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3264 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3265 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3266 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3268 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3269 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3273 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3275 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3276 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3277 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3279 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3280 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3282 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3283 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3284 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3286 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3287 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3289 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3290 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3292 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3294 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3295 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3296 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3299 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3300 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3303 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3304 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3305 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3306 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3307 is 40 of more characters long.
3310 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3311 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3315 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3316 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3319 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3320 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3324 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3326 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3327 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3330 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3332 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3333 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3334 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3336 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3337 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3339 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3342 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3346 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3347 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3348 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3349 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3351 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3353 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3354 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3356 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3357 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3358 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3359 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3360 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3361 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3363 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3364 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3366 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3367 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3369 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3370 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3372 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3373 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3374 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3375 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3377 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3378 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3380 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3381 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3383 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3384 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3385 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3386 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3387 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3390 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3391 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3392 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3393 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3396 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3397 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3398 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3402 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3403 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3404 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3405 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3406 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3407 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3408 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3409 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3413 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3414 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3417 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3418 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3419 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3420 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3423 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3424 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3425 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3426 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3427 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3428 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3429 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3430 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3431 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3432 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3435 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3436 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3437 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3438 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3439 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3440 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3441 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3442 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3444 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3445 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3446 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3447 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3450 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3451 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3452 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3453 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3455 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3456 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3457 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3458 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3459 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3463 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3464 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3465 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3466 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3470 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3471 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3472 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3475 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3476 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3477 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3478 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3479 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3482 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3485 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3486 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3487 option to ocsp utility.
3490 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3491 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3492 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3493 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3494 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3495 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3496 the request is nonce-less.
3499 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3500 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3501 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3504 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3505 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3506 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3509 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3510 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3511 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3512 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3513 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3516 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3517 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3521 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3522 additional certificates supplied.
3525 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3526 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3530 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3531 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3534 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3535 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3536 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3537 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3538 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3539 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3540 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3541 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3542 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3544 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3545 request to response.
3548 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3549 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3550 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3551 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3552 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3553 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3554 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3555 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3556 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3557 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3558 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3561 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3562 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3563 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3564 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3567 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3568 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3570 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3571 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3572 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3575 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3576 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3577 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3578 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3579 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3581 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3582 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3583 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3586 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3587 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3588 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3589 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3590 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3591 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3592 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3593 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3595 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3596 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3597 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3598 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3599 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3600 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3603 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3604 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3605 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3606 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3607 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3608 printout format cleaned up.
3611 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3612 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3613 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3614 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3615 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3616 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3617 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3618 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3621 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3622 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3623 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3624 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3625 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3626 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3627 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3628 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3631 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3632 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3633 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3634 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3636 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3638 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3639 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3640 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3641 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3644 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3645 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3646 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3647 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3649 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3651 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3652 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3653 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3654 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3656 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3657 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3659 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3660 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3661 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3664 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3665 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3666 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3669 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3670 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3671 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3672 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3673 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3674 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3675 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3676 functions are provided:
3678 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3679 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3680 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3681 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3683 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3684 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3685 extended allocation function is enabled.
3686 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3687 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3688 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3690 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3691 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3692 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3693 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3694 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3697 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3698 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3699 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3701 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3702 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3703 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3706 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3707 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3708 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3709 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3710 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3711 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3712 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3713 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3714 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3717 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3718 provide utility functions which an application needing
3719 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3720 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3721 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3723 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3724 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3725 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3726 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3727 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3728 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3729 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3730 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3731 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3733 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3734 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3735 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3736 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3739 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3740 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3741 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3742 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3743 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3744 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3745 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3746 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3747 will be added elsewhere.
3750 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3751 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3752 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3753 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3756 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3757 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3758 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3759 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3760 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3761 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3762 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3763 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3764 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3765 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3766 to produce the required SET OF.
3769 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3770 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3771 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3774 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3775 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3776 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3777 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3778 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3779 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3782 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3783 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3784 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3787 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3788 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3789 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3792 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3793 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3794 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3795 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3796 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3799 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3800 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3803 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3804 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3805 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3806 certifcates and CRLs.
3809 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3810 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3811 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3814 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3815 entries for variables.
3818 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3819 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3820 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3821 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3824 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3825 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3826 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3827 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3828 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3829 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3832 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3833 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3835 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3836 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3837 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3840 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3844 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3845 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3846 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3847 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3848 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3849 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3852 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3855 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3856 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3857 for now but they will eventually go away.
3860 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3861 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3862 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3863 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3864 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3865 has also been converted to the new form.
3868 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3869 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3870 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3871 for negative moduli.
3874 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3875 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3878 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3882 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3883 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3884 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3885 type-specific callbacks.
3888 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3890 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3891 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3893 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3894 in sections depending on the subject.
3897 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3901 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3902 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3903 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3904 be handled deterministically).
3905 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3907 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3908 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3909 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3912 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3915 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3916 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3917 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3918 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3919 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3922 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3923 sign of the number in question.
3925 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3927 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3928 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3929 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3930 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3931 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3934 *) New function BN_swap.
3937 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3938 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3939 results on negative inputs.
3942 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3943 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3944 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3947 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3948 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3949 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3950 and add new functions:
3959 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3963 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3965 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3966 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3968 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3969 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3970 be reduced modulo m.
3971 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3974 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3975 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3976 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3978 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3979 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3980 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3981 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3982 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3983 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3988 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3989 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3990 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3991 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3992 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3994 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3995 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3996 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4000 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4003 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4004 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4007 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4008 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4009 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4010 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4014 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4017 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4020 *) Add the following functions:
4022 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4024 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4026 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4028 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4029 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4030 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4031 libraries unless it's really needed.
4033 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4034 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4035 declarations (they differed!).
4038 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4041 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4044 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4047 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4048 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4051 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4052 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4053 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4055 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4056 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4059 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4062 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4065 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4068 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4069 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4070 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4072 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4073 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4074 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4075 different shared library filenames on each system.
4078 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4081 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4082 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4083 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4085 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4088 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4089 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4090 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4091 binary backward compatibility.
4092 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4093 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4094 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4098 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4099 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4100 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4101 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4105 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4108 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4109 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4110 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4111 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4115 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4118 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4120 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4121 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4122 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4124 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4126 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4128 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4129 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4132 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4134 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4136 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4137 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4139 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4140 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4144 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4145 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4149 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4150 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4151 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4152 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4154 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4155 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4158 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4160 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4161 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4162 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4163 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4166 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4167 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4168 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4169 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4170 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4172 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4173 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4174 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4175 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4176 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4177 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4178 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4179 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4180 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4183 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4185 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4186 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4187 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4188 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4189 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4191 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4192 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4193 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4195 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4197 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4198 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4199 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4200 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4201 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4202 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4205 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4206 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4207 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4208 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4209 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4212 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4213 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4214 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4216 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4217 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4218 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4222 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4223 being properly terminated.
4226 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4227 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4228 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4229 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4231 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4232 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4233 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4234 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4235 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4236 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4237 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4239 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4241 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4242 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4245 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4246 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4247 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4248 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4249 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4250 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4251 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4252 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4254 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4255 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4256 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4257 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4258 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4260 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4261 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4264 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4266 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4267 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4268 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4270 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4272 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4273 and get fix the header length calculation.
4274 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4275 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4278 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4279 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4280 assertions could call abort()).
4281 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4283 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4285 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4286 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4287 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4289 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4291 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4292 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4293 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4296 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4300 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4301 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4302 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4304 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4305 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4306 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4307 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4308 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4312 *) Changes in security patch:
4314 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4315 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4316 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4319 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4320 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4321 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4322 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4323 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4325 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4327 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4329 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4330 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4331 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4333 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4334 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4335 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4337 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4338 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4339 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4341 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4343 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4344 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4345 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4347 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4348 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4350 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4351 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4352 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4353 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4354 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4355 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4358 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4359 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4360 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4361 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4364 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4367 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4368 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4369 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4370 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4371 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4372 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4374 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4375 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4376 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4377 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4378 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4381 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4382 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4383 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4384 BN_generate_prime().)
4386 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4387 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4388 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4392 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4393 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4396 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4397 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4398 when using non-blocking I/O.
4399 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4401 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4402 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4404 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4405 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4408 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4409 configuration for the versions before that.
4410 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4412 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4413 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4414 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4415 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4418 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4419 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4420 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4423 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4427 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4428 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4429 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4431 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4432 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4434 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4435 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4436 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4437 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4438 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4439 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4440 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4443 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4444 using a local variable.
4445 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4447 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4448 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4449 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4451 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4454 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4455 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4457 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4458 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4459 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4461 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4463 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4464 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4465 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4466 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4469 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4473 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4474 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4475 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4476 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4477 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4479 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4480 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4481 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4483 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4484 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4485 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4487 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4488 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4489 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4490 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4492 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4493 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4494 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4496 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4498 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4499 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4501 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4503 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4504 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4505 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4506 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4508 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4509 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4510 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4511 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4513 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4514 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4516 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4517 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4518 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4521 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4522 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4523 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4525 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4527 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4528 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4529 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4530 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4531 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4532 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4533 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4536 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4537 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4538 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4539 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4541 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4542 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4543 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4544 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4545 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4546 the client will at least see that alert.
4549 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4553 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4554 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4555 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4557 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4558 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4559 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4560 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4563 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4564 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4565 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4567 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4568 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4569 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4570 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4571 may leak via logfiles.)
4573 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4574 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4575 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4576 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4580 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4581 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4584 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4585 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4586 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4587 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4588 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4591 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4592 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4594 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4595 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4596 followed by modular reduction.
4597 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4599 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4600 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4603 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4604 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4605 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4606 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4609 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4612 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4613 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4616 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4617 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4618 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4619 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4620 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4621 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4623 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4625 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4626 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4627 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4628 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4629 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4631 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4634 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4635 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4636 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4637 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4638 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4639 to allow the necessary settings.
4642 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4643 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4644 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4645 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4648 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4649 dh->length and always used
4651 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4653 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4654 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4655 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4656 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4657 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4662 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4664 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4670 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4671 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4672 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4673 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4675 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4676 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4677 always reject numbers >= n.
4680 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4681 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4682 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4683 variable) is not atomic.
4686 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4687 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4688 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4689 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4691 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4692 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4694 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4696 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4698 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4701 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4703 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4704 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4705 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4706 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4707 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4708 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4709 to traverse all of 'state'.
4711 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4712 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4713 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4715 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4716 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4718 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4719 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4720 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4721 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4722 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4723 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4724 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4725 further strengthens the PRNG.
4728 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4731 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4732 an error message in this case.
4735 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4738 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4739 positive and less than q.
4742 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4743 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4745 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4747 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4748 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4752 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4754 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4755 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4756 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4757 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4758 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4759 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4760 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4763 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4764 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4765 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4766 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4768 Both problems are now fixed.
4771 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4772 (previously it was 1024).
4775 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4776 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4779 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4782 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4783 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4784 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4787 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4788 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4789 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4790 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4791 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4792 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4793 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4794 environment variables.
4796 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4797 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4798 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4801 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4802 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4803 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4804 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4805 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4806 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4809 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4813 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4815 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4816 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4818 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4819 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4820 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4821 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4825 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4826 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4827 amount of data available.
4828 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4829 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4831 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4832 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4833 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4834 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4837 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4838 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4842 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4843 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4844 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4845 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4848 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4851 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4854 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4855 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4857 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4859 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4860 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4861 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4862 (but broken) behaviour.
4865 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4867 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4869 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4870 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4873 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4877 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4878 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4880 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4883 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4884 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4885 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4887 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4888 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4889 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4892 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4893 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4896 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4897 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4899 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4901 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4903 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4904 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4905 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4906 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4909 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4912 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4913 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4914 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4916 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4919 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4921 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4922 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4923 but the code is actually correct.
4926 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4927 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4928 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4929 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4930 and leaves the highest bit random.
4931 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4933 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4934 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4935 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4936 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4937 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4938 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4939 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4942 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4945 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4946 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4949 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4950 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4951 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4952 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4956 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4957 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4958 and break the signature.
4960 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4962 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4966 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4967 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4968 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4969 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4970 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4973 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4974 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4976 *) ./config script fixes.
4977 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4979 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4982 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4983 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4984 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4985 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4986 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4988 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4989 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4992 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4993 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4996 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4997 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4998 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4999 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5001 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5002 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5004 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5005 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5006 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5007 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5008 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5010 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5013 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5016 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5019 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5022 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5023 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5026 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5027 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5028 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5029 result of the server certificate verification.)
5032 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5033 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5034 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5038 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5039 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5040 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5041 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5042 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5043 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5044 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5045 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5048 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5049 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5050 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5051 happening the other way round.
5054 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5055 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5058 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5059 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5060 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5061 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5064 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5065 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5067 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5069 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5070 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5071 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5074 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5076 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5078 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5082 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5084 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5085 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5086 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5087 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5088 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5090 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5091 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5095 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5098 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5100 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5101 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5102 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5103 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5104 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5105 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5106 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5107 by the Finished messages.
5110 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5111 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5113 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5114 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5115 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5116 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5117 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5121 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5122 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5123 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5124 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5125 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5126 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5127 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5128 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5129 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5133 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5134 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5135 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5136 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5138 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5139 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5140 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5141 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5142 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5145 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5146 been tested well enough.
5149 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5150 it can return incorrect results.
5151 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5152 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5155 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5156 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5157 include zero length content when signing messages.
5160 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5161 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5164 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5167 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5171 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5172 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5173 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5174 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5175 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5176 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5179 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5180 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5182 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5183 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5185 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5186 random number < q in the DSA library.
5189 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5190 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5191 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5192 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5193 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5194 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5195 just makes things more complicated.)
5198 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5202 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5203 work better on such systems.
5204 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5206 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5207 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5208 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5211 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5212 if there was more than one signature.
5213 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5215 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5216 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5217 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5218 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5221 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5222 rather than always using the current time.
5225 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5226 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5227 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5228 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5229 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5230 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5232 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5233 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5235 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5237 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5238 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5239 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5240 the same hash value.
5242 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5243 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5244 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5245 with X509_STORE internally.
5247 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5248 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5250 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5251 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5252 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5253 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5254 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5255 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5256 entirely (maybe later...).
5258 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5260 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5261 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5262 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5263 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5264 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5265 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5266 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5267 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5269 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5270 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5272 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5273 to customise the verify behaviour.
5276 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5277 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5280 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5281 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5282 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5283 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5284 request is improperly encoded.
5287 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5288 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5291 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5292 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5294 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5295 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5299 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5300 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5301 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5304 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5305 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5306 BIO/fp routines also added.
5309 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5310 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5312 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5313 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5314 demos/state_machine.
5317 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5318 generation and verification.
5321 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5322 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5323 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5324 encode and decode it manually.
5327 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5329 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5331 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5332 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5333 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5334 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5336 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5337 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5338 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5339 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5340 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5343 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5346 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5347 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5348 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5350 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5351 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5352 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5353 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5354 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5355 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5356 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5357 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5359 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5360 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5362 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5364 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5365 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5366 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5370 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5371 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5372 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5373 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5377 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5379 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5382 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5383 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5384 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5385 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5386 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5387 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5388 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5389 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5390 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5391 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5392 short or long names are found.
5395 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5396 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5398 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5399 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5400 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5401 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5403 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5404 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5405 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5406 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5409 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5410 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5411 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5414 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5415 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5416 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5417 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5418 to allow the various flags to be set.
5421 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5422 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5423 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5424 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5425 dates to be checked.
5428 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5429 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5430 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5433 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5434 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5435 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5438 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5439 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5442 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5443 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5444 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5445 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5446 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5447 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5450 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5451 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5455 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5459 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5460 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5461 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5462 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5463 form signing output easier to verify.
5466 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5469 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5470 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5471 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5472 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5473 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5474 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5475 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5476 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5477 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5478 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5481 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5483 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5484 the syntax given in objects.README.
5485 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5487 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5490 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5491 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5492 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5493 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5494 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5495 consistent name changes.
5498 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5501 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5502 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5503 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5504 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5507 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5508 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5509 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5513 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5514 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5515 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5516 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5519 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5520 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5521 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5522 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5523 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5524 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5525 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5526 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5527 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5528 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5529 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5532 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5533 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5534 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5535 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5536 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5537 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5538 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5539 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5540 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5541 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5544 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5545 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5546 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5547 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5549 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5550 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5551 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5552 omit any duplicate addresses.
5555 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5556 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5559 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5560 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5561 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5562 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5563 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5566 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5568 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5569 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5570 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5571 Free => OPENSSL_free
5574 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5575 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5578 *) CygWin32 support.
5579 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5581 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5582 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5583 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5584 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5585 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5589 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5590 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5591 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5592 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5593 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5594 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5595 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5598 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5599 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5600 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5601 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5602 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5603 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5604 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5605 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5606 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5607 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5608 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5611 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5612 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5613 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5614 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5615 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5617 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5618 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5619 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5620 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5621 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5623 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5626 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5627 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5628 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5629 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5631 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5633 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5636 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5637 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5638 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5641 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5642 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5643 any installed hardware versions can.
5646 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5647 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5648 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5652 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5653 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5654 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5655 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5656 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5658 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5659 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5662 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5663 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5666 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5667 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5668 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5672 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5675 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5676 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5677 but no ssl client purpose.
5678 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5680 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5681 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5682 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5683 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5684 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5685 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5686 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5687 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5688 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5689 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5690 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5693 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5694 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5695 be obtained from the error queue.
5698 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5699 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5700 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5701 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5704 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5707 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5708 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5709 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5710 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5711 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5714 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5715 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5716 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5717 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5718 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5721 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5722 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5723 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5725 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5727 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5728 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5729 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5730 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5731 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5732 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5733 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5734 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5735 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5736 or "the configuration storage API"...
5738 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5740 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5741 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5743 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5745 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5747 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5748 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5749 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5750 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5751 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5752 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5753 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5755 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5756 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5759 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5760 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5761 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5762 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5765 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5766 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5767 them in a portable way.
5768 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5770 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5772 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5774 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5775 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5777 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5778 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5779 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5782 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5783 was larger than the MD block size.
5784 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5786 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5787 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5788 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5789 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5793 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5794 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5795 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5797 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5799 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5801 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5802 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5803 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5804 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5805 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5806 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5808 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5809 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5811 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5812 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5815 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5818 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5819 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5821 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5822 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5823 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5824 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5827 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5828 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5829 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5830 does not suppress any output.
5833 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5834 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5835 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5836 with all the associated security issues.
5838 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5839 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5840 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5841 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5842 use the value in the default purpose.
5845 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5846 and fix a memory leak.
5849 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5850 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5851 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5852 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5855 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5856 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5857 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5858 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5861 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5862 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5863 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5866 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5867 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5870 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5871 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5875 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5876 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5879 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5880 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5881 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5884 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5885 number generation fails.
5888 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5891 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5892 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5894 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5897 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5898 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5900 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5901 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5903 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5905 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5906 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5909 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5910 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5912 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5913 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5916 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5917 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5918 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5919 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5920 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5921 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5923 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5924 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5925 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5929 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5930 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5931 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5932 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5933 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5934 counter, some don't.)
5935 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5936 counters or duplicate objects.
5939 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5940 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5943 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5944 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5945 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5947 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5948 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5949 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5953 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5954 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5957 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5958 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5959 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5963 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5964 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5965 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5968 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5969 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5970 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5971 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5972 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5973 should work without changes.
5976 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5977 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5978 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5979 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5980 must be defined. E.g.,
5981 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5982 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5983 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5984 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5986 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5990 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5991 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5992 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5995 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5996 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5997 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5998 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6001 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6002 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6003 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6004 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6005 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6006 is prompted for as usual.
6009 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6010 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6011 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6012 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6014 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6015 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6016 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6017 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6020 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6023 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6027 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6030 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6033 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6037 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6040 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6043 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6044 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6047 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6048 options to produce them.
6051 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6052 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6055 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6059 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6060 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6061 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6062 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6063 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6064 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6065 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6068 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6071 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6072 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6073 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6076 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6077 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6079 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6080 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6083 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6084 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6085 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6089 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6090 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6092 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6093 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6094 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6095 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6096 generation becomes much faster.
6098 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6099 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6100 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6101 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6102 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6103 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6104 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6105 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6106 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6107 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6110 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6111 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6112 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6113 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6114 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6115 trial division stage.
6118 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6122 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6125 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6128 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6129 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6130 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6134 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6135 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6136 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6139 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6140 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6141 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6142 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6144 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6145 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6148 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6151 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6152 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6153 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6154 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6157 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6158 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6159 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6162 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6163 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6164 (instead of parameters) in future.
6167 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6168 when a new cipher list is set.
6171 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6172 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6175 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6176 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6177 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6179 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6180 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6181 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6182 an error is flagged.
6184 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6185 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6186 the readability was also increased :-)
6187 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6189 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6190 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6191 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6192 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6196 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6197 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6200 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6201 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6202 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6203 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6206 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6207 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6208 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6209 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6210 because they handle more complex structures.)
6213 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6214 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6215 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6216 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6218 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6219 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6220 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6221 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6222 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6223 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6224 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6227 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6228 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6229 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6230 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6231 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6234 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6237 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6238 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6239 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6240 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6241 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6244 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6248 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6249 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6250 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6251 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6254 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6257 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6258 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6259 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6260 international characters are used.
6262 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6263 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6264 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6268 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6269 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6270 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6273 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6274 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6275 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6276 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6277 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6278 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6280 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6281 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6282 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6283 be handled by the string table functions.
6285 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6286 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6287 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6288 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6289 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6293 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6294 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6295 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6296 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6297 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6299 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6300 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6301 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6302 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6305 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6306 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6307 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6308 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6309 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6313 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6314 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6315 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6316 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6317 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6318 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6319 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6320 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6322 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6323 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6324 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6327 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6328 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6329 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6330 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6331 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6332 support to pkcs8 application.
6335 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6336 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6337 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6338 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6339 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6340 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6343 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6344 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6345 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6346 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6347 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6351 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6352 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6353 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6354 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6358 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6359 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6360 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6361 and any application specific purposes.
6363 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6364 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6365 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6366 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6367 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6368 if the certificate is self signed.
6371 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6372 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6375 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6376 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6377 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6378 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6381 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6382 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6383 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6384 Update documentation.
6387 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6388 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6389 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6390 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6391 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6394 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6396 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6398 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6399 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6400 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6401 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6402 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6403 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6404 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6405 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6406 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6407 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6409 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6411 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6412 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6413 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6414 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6415 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6417 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6418 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6419 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6420 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6421 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6422 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6423 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6424 request additional information:
6425 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6426 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6428 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6429 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6430 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6433 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6434 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6437 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6440 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6441 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6443 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6444 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6445 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6449 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6450 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6451 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6453 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6454 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6455 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6456 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6457 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6458 included in OpenSSL.
6461 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6462 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6463 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6464 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6465 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6466 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6469 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6473 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6474 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6475 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6476 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6477 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6481 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6485 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6486 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6487 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6488 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6489 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6490 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6491 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6492 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6493 be maintained manually.
6495 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6496 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6497 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6498 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6499 work because people forget to call this function]
6500 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6501 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6502 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6505 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6506 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6507 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6508 should be discouraged from doing it.
6511 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6512 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6513 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6514 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6515 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6516 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6519 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6520 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6521 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6523 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6524 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6525 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6527 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6528 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6529 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6530 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6531 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6532 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6534 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6535 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6536 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6538 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6539 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6542 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6543 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6544 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6545 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6548 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6551 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6552 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6553 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6554 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6555 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6556 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6557 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6558 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6559 keys so we should be OK.
6561 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6562 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6563 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6564 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6565 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6566 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6567 stay in the name of compatibility.
6569 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6570 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6571 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6573 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6574 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6575 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6576 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6577 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6578 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6582 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6583 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6584 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6585 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6586 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6587 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6588 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6589 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6590 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6591 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6592 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6593 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6594 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6597 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6600 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6601 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6602 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6603 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6604 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6605 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6606 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6607 openssl verify ss.pem
6608 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6609 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6613 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6614 (and add it to external session representation).
6615 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6616 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6617 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6618 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6619 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6620 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6622 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6624 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6625 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6626 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6627 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6629 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6630 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6631 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6634 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6635 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6636 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6640 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6641 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6642 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6644 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6645 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6646 certificate auxiliary information.
6649 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6653 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6654 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6655 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6656 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6657 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6658 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6659 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6662 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6663 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6666 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6667 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6668 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6669 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6672 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6675 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6676 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6679 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6680 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6681 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6682 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6683 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6684 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6685 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6686 using the new 'x509' options.
6688 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6689 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6690 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6691 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6695 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6696 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6697 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6698 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6699 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6702 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6703 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6704 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6705 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6706 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6707 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6708 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6709 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6710 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6711 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6714 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6715 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6716 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6717 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6718 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6719 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6720 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6723 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6724 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6725 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6726 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6727 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6728 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6729 openssl.cnf for more info.
6732 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6733 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6734 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6735 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6736 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6737 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6738 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6739 md should be large enough anyway.
6742 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6743 for handling the random seed file.
6745 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6747 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6750 x509 (when signing).
6751 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6752 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6753 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6755 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6756 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6757 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6758 that support '-rand'.
6761 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6762 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6765 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6766 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6769 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6770 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6771 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6772 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6776 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6777 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6778 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6779 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6782 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6783 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6784 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6785 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6786 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6787 print out all the purposes.
6790 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6794 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6795 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6796 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6797 single function call.
6800 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6801 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6804 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6805 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6806 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6809 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6810 when producing the local key id.
6811 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6813 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6814 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6815 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6819 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6820 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6821 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6822 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6825 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6826 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6827 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6828 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6830 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6831 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6832 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6833 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6835 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6836 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6837 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6838 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6839 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6840 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6841 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6842 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6843 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6844 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6845 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6846 trivial: move one line.
6847 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6849 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6850 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6851 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6852 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6853 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6854 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6855 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6856 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6857 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6858 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6859 with an event loop for example.
6862 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6863 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6864 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6865 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6866 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6867 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6868 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6869 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6870 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6873 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6874 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6875 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6876 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6877 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6878 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6881 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6882 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6883 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6884 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6886 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6887 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6888 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6889 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6893 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6894 (still largely untested)
6897 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6898 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6901 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6902 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6905 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6906 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6907 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6910 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6911 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6912 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6913 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6914 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6917 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6920 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6921 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6922 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6923 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6924 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6928 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6929 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6932 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6935 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6936 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6937 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6938 are otherwise ignored at present.
6941 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6942 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6943 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6944 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6945 copied until the next read.
6948 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6949 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6950 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6953 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6954 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6955 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6956 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6957 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6958 associated functions.
6961 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6962 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6963 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6964 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6965 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6966 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6967 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6968 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6969 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6973 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6974 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6975 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6976 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6979 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6980 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6981 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6982 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6983 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6987 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6988 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6992 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6993 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6994 extensions to be obtained and added.
6997 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6998 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7001 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7003 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7004 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7006 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7007 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7009 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7013 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7014 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7015 DH parameters contain its length).
7017 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7018 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7019 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7020 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7021 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7022 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7023 utter importance to use
7024 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7026 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7027 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7028 attacks may become possible!
7031 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7034 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7035 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7038 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7039 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7040 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7044 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7045 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7046 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7047 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7048 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7049 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7050 private key operations.
7053 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7056 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7057 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7059 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7060 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7061 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7062 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7063 the password callback is called.
7064 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7066 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7068 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7069 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7070 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7071 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7072 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7073 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7076 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7077 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7078 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7079 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7080 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7081 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7084 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7087 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7088 delete an unused file.
7091 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7092 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7093 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7094 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7097 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7098 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7099 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7103 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7104 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7105 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7107 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7108 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7109 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7110 comparison" warnings.
7111 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7114 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7115 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7116 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7119 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7120 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7122 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7123 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7125 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7126 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7127 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7129 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7130 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7131 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7132 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7133 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7135 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7137 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7138 The interface is as follows:
7139 Applications can use
7140 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7141 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7142 "off" is now the default.
7143 The library internally uses
7144 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7145 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7146 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7148 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7149 even the default) are now avoided.
7151 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7152 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7153 than just having a counter.
7155 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7157 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7161 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7162 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7163 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7164 Initial "mode" flags are:
7166 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7167 a single record has been written.
7168 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7169 retries use the same buffer location.
7170 (But all of the contents must be
7174 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7177 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7178 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7180 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7181 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7182 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7185 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7186 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7188 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7190 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7191 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7192 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7193 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7195 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7196 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7198 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7199 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7200 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7201 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7202 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7203 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7206 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7207 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7208 necessary function names.
7211 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7212 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7213 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7214 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7217 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7218 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7219 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7222 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7223 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7224 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7225 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7227 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7231 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7232 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7233 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7236 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7237 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7241 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7242 for the encoded length.
7243 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7245 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7248 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7249 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7250 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7251 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7254 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7255 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7258 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7259 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7260 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7264 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7265 to use the new extension code.
7268 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7269 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7270 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7274 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7275 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7276 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7280 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7283 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7284 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7285 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7288 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7289 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7290 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7291 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7294 *) DES library cleanups.
7297 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7298 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7299 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7300 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7301 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7305 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7306 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7309 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7310 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7311 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7312 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7313 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7314 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7315 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7316 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7317 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7320 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7321 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7322 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7323 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7324 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7325 value doesn't matter.
7328 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7332 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7333 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7334 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7335 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7337 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7340 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7341 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7342 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7344 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7345 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7347 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7350 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7353 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7356 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7360 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7362 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7364 *) Updated some demos.
7365 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7367 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7370 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7373 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7376 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7377 instead of using a fixed path.
7380 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7383 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7387 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7389 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7390 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7391 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7393 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7394 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7395 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7396 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7397 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7398 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7399 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7400 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7401 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7402 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7405 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7406 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7409 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7410 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7411 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7412 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7413 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7415 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7418 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7419 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7420 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7423 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7426 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7427 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7428 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7429 key elements as negative integers.
7432 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7433 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7436 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7438 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7439 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7440 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7443 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7444 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7445 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7446 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7447 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7450 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7453 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7454 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7455 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7456 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7458 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7459 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7460 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7462 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7463 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7464 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7465 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7466 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7467 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7468 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7469 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7470 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7472 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7473 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7474 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7475 does not influence s as it used to.
7477 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7478 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7479 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7480 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7481 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7482 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7485 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7486 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7487 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7491 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7492 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7493 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7497 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7498 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7499 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7503 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7504 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7507 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7508 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7513 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7514 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7516 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7517 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7519 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7522 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7525 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7526 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7528 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7529 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7530 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7534 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7535 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7536 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7537 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7538 now it really counts the depth.
7541 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7542 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7543 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7544 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7545 didn't match the private key).
7547 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7548 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7549 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7552 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7555 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7559 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7560 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7561 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7564 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7567 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7568 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7569 such as /usr/local/bin.
7572 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7573 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7575 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7578 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7579 extension adding in x509 utility.
7582 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7585 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7589 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7592 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7593 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7594 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7595 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7596 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7597 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7598 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7599 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7600 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7601 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7604 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7607 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7608 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7611 *) Fix some race conditions.
7614 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7615 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7618 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7621 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7622 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7623 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7624 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7626 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7627 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7629 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7630 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7631 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7633 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7634 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7636 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7639 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7640 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7642 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7645 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7646 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7648 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7649 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7652 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7653 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7656 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7657 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7660 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7661 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7664 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7665 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7668 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7669 support typesafe stack.
7672 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7673 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7675 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7676 old X509V3 handling code.
7679 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7682 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7685 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7688 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7689 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7691 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7692 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7693 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7694 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7695 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7698 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7699 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7700 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7701 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7702 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7704 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7705 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7706 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7707 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7709 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7710 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7711 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7712 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7714 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7715 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7716 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7717 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7718 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7719 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7722 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7723 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7726 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7727 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7730 *) Tweaks to Configure
7731 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7733 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7737 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7740 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7741 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7744 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7745 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7746 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7749 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7752 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7753 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7756 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7757 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7758 to library startup routines.
7761 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7762 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7763 codes along the way.
7766 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7767 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7768 objects to objects.h
7771 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7772 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7775 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7776 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7778 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7779 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7780 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7782 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7783 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7784 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7786 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7787 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7788 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7791 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7793 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7794 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7797 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7798 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7799 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7800 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7801 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7803 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7804 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7805 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7807 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7809 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7811 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7813 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7814 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7816 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7817 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7818 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7819 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7821 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7824 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7825 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7826 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7827 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7830 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7831 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7832 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7835 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7836 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7837 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7838 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7839 installed as `perl').
7840 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7842 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7843 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7845 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7846 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7847 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7848 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7849 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7852 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7855 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7856 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7857 is horrible: I feel ill....
7860 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7861 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7862 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7863 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7866 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7869 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7870 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7871 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7874 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7875 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7876 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7877 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7878 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7879 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7883 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7884 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7886 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7887 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7889 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7892 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7893 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7897 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7898 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7899 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7900 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7901 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7902 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7903 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7904 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7905 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7906 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7909 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7912 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7913 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7914 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7915 for linking it into DSOs.
7916 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7918 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7922 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7923 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7924 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7925 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7926 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7927 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7929 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7930 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7931 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7932 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7933 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7934 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7935 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7937 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7938 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7939 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7943 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7944 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7945 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7946 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7949 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7950 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7951 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7952 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7953 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7957 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7958 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7959 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7960 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7961 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7963 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7964 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7965 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7967 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7968 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7970 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7971 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7972 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7973 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7974 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7977 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7978 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7979 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7980 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7981 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7982 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7983 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7986 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7988 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7989 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7992 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7993 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7995 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7996 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7999 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8000 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8001 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8002 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8003 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8005 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8006 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8007 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8008 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8009 no way to reconfigure them.
8010 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8011 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8012 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8013 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8014 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8017 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8018 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8019 recognized by the users.
8020 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8022 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8023 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8024 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8025 already masked variable.
8026 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8028 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8029 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8031 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8032 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8033 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8034 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8036 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8037 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8038 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8040 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8041 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8042 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8043 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8044 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8045 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8046 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8047 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8051 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8052 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8053 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8055 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8056 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8060 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8061 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8063 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8064 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8065 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8066 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8069 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8072 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8073 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8075 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8078 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8079 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8082 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8083 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8086 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8087 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8088 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8089 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8090 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8091 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8092 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8095 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8096 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8098 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8099 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8100 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8101 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8102 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8104 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8105 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8106 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8109 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8110 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8114 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8115 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8116 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8118 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8119 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8120 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8124 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8125 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8126 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8127 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8130 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8131 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8132 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8133 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8136 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8137 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8138 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8139 so it wasn't spotted.
8140 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8142 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8143 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8144 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8145 vectors if you have them.
8148 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8149 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8152 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8153 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8154 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8155 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8157 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8158 it will update them.
8161 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8162 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8163 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8164 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8165 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8166 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8167 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8168 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8170 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8171 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8172 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8173 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8174 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8175 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8176 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8177 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8178 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8179 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8181 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8182 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8183 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8184 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8185 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8188 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8192 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8193 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8195 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8196 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8198 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8199 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8202 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8203 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8205 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8206 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8208 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8211 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8215 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8216 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8217 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8218 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8220 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8223 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8226 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8229 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8230 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8233 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8234 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8238 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8239 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8242 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8243 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8244 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8247 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8248 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8249 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8250 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8251 properly to be processed.
8254 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8255 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8256 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8259 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8260 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8262 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8263 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8264 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8265 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8266 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8267 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8268 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8269 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8270 or delete all the .err files.
8273 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8274 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8275 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8276 to regenerate it if needed.
8277 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8278 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8280 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8281 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8283 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8284 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8285 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8286 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8287 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8290 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8291 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8293 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8294 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8296 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8297 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8298 error, but didn't set one).
8299 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8301 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8304 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8305 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8308 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8309 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8311 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8312 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8313 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8314 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8315 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8316 OID is not part of the table.
8319 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8320 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8323 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8326 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8327 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8331 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8332 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8334 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8336 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8338 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8339 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8341 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8342 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8344 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8345 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8347 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8348 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8351 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8352 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8355 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8356 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8358 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8359 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8361 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8362 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8364 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8365 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8367 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8368 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8369 unused in the certificate verification process.
8370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8372 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8373 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8376 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8377 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8378 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8380 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8381 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8382 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8383 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8384 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8386 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8387 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8390 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8393 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8396 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8397 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8399 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8402 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8405 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8408 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8409 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8410 other error libraries.
8413 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8416 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8417 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8421 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8422 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8423 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8424 the new set of documenation files.
8425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8427 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8428 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8429 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8430 number of arguments.
8431 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8433 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8436 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8437 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8438 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8440 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8443 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8447 unixware-2.0-pentium
8451 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8452 before they are needed.
8455 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8459 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8461 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8462 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8463 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8465 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8468 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8469 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8472 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8473 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8474 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8476 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8477 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8480 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8481 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8483 *) Updated the README file.
8484 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8486 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8487 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8488 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8490 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8491 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8492 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8494 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8495 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8496 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8497 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8498 o removed obsolete TODO file
8499 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8500 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8502 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8503 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8504 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

8507 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8510 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8513 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8514 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8515 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8517 [The OpenSSL Project]
8520 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8522 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8525 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8528 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8529 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8532 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8533 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8537 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8539 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8541 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8544 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8547 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8550 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8553 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8556 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8559 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8562 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8565 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8568 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8571 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8574 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8577 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8580 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8583 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8586 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8589 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8592 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8593 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8594 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8597 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8598 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8601 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8604 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8607 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8608 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8611 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8614 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8617 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8618 bytes sent in the client random.
